# Consent Script — AI Tool Adoption Survey

## Purpose

This survey investigates how programme coordinators at accredited institutions
adopt AI tools in quality assurance processes. Participation is voluntary.

## Privacy and Data Protection

Your responses are **confidential** [irb_terminology_glossary.md: Confidentiality —
identity IS known to the researcher; researcher commits not to disclose it].
We collect your institutional email address for the purpose of inviting selected
respondents to a follow-up interview. Your email and identity will not appear in
any published report. Only the named research team will see identified data.

Identified data (email + responses) will be retained for 12 months after project
close, then deleted. Aggregate or de-identified results may be published.

This survey is NOT anonymous [irb_terminology_glossary.md: Anonymity — no
identifier collected; cannot contact respondent]. Because we collect email for
follow-up, anonymity cannot be promised. If you do not wish your email retained,
please do not participate.
