Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Jaimz Winter, and I’m conducting an academic research study through the University College London Interaction Centre (UCLIC) as part of my visiting researcher scheme.

🎮 What is the study about?

This study explores gamers’ willingness to share data with digital games and game-related services.

Who can participate?

• You must be aged 18 or over.
• You must have experience playing digital games.

What does participation involve?

• Completing an anonymous online questionnaire.
• Taking approximately 10–12 minutes.
• Answering questions about player data, privacy, and different hypothetical gaming scenarios.

Voluntary participation and consent

Taking part is entirely voluntary. By proceeding with the questionnaire, you will be asked to provide informed consent before participating. You may stop at any time before submitting your responses by closing your browser. As the questionnaire is anonymous, your responses cannot be withdrawn after submission because they cannot be linked back to you.

Data storage, confidentiality and retention

The survey does not collect directly identifying information such as names, email addresses, usernames, or IP addresses. Please do not include identifying information in optional free-text responses. Research data will be stored securely on UCL-approved systems and accessed only by the research team. Anonymised data and associated research materials may be retained for a minimum of ten years and may be archived for future academic research, verification, or secondary analysis, where appropriate.

Research results

The findings may be used in my thesis and in academic reports or publications. Participants will not be identified in any report or publication.

Thank you for considering taking part!

Hi! I’m an incoming affiliate student for the spring semester 2027 and I’m looking to get in contact with other incoming affiliates. I saw the megathreads for housing and new student group chats, but they seem to be largely geared toward freshers/September intake.

I’m a junior at my university in the US, so I’ll be a third-year, and was wondering if anything similar exists specifically for incoming affiliate/study abroad students? Would love to connect with other affiliates before January, especially other third-years, so if anyone knows of a WhatsApp/Instagram/Discord group or could point me in the right direction I’d really appreciate it!
