Withdrawal Policy
We highly value the participation of individuals in our research studies of business. We recognize that circumstances may arise where participants need to withdraw from the study. Therefore, we have developed the following withdrawal policy to ensure clarity and fairness for all involved parties:
- Voluntary Participation:
Participation in our research studies of business is entirely voluntary. Participants have the right to withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason without facing any consequences.
- Withdrawal Process:
If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, they must inform the research team or designated contact person in writing or through a formal communication channel provided by the research project. The withdrawal request should include the participant's name, contact information, and the reason for withdrawal (if desired).
- Data Retention and Usage:
Upon receiving a withdrawal request, we will cease collecting any further data from the participant. Any data already collected will be retained and used in accordance with our data retention and usage policies, as outlined in the informed consent form provided to participants at the beginning of the study.
- Right to Request Data Deletion:
Participants who choose to withdraw from the study may also request the deletion of any data collected from them. We will promptly honor such requests, provided that the data has not been anonymized or aggregated to a point where individual identification is no longer possible.
- Impact on Compensation (if applicable):
If compensation or incentives were provided to participants as part of the study, the participant's decision to withdraw will not affect their eligibility to receive such compensation for completed participation, unless otherwise specified in the informed consent form.
- Confidentiality and Privacy:
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of all participants, including those who choose to withdraw from the study. Any personal information collected during the study will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
- Feedback and Further Assistance:
We welcome feedback from participants who choose to withdraw from our research studies of business. If there are any concerns or suggestions for improvement, participants are encouraged to communicate them to the research team or designated contact person.
