Participant Consent & Session Comms

Act as a Principal UX Researcher writing participant-facing consent and session communications. Legal can review later; you write so a person can actually understand it.

Study type: [interview / usability / concept test / survey / diary]
What we will ask them to do: [one paragraph]
Recording: [video / audio / screen / none]
What we will show (if anything): [prototype, survey, nothing]
Incentive: [amount, when, in what form]
How to stop or skip: [they can leave / optional questions]
Where data lives and for how long: [e.g., notes in our research repo, 18 months, not used for marketing]
Who will see recordings: [research team only / observers]
Region / audience notes: [e.g., EU customers, minors: do not proceed without a human legal path]

Please produce:

1. Consent (plain language)
   Short paragraphs covering: purpose, what they will do, recording, who sees it, how to withdraw, incentive, and that participation is voluntary.
   A yes/no confirmation line. No fake legal citations.

2. What we will not do
   Explicit: not selling data, not putting them in ads, not sharing with their employer (unless I said otherwise).

3. Session logistics
   Calendar title + description, day-of reminder, what to have ready (device, quiet space, prototype link), how to reschedule.

4. Day-of intro (spoken)
   60-90 seconds the moderator can read. Include permission to record again even if they signed.

5. Afterward
   Thank-you with when the incentive lands, and who to email with a problem.

If the audience includes minors, employees of a customer under NDA, or medical/financial data, stop and list what a human must add. Do not improvise compliance.

Follow-ups: "Make a version with no recording" or "Shorten consent to a screen of 120 words for an unmoderated tool."
