AI policy

This policy is maintained by FeFe. It covers how participants may and may not use AI, and how FeFe itself uses automated checks.

Last updated 4 August 2026

Participants: write your own answers

  • Do not use ChatGPT or any other AI tool to write, expand or rewrite your answers to a study, unless the study explicitly says AI use is allowed.
  • Do not run bots, scripts or automated agents against FeFe or a researcher's study.
  • Researchers rely on genuine lived experience of health issues affecting women with a female reproductive system. An AI answer is worthless to them and undermines the whole pool.
  • Two confirmed AI written submissions suspend an account from taking further studies, and the affected rewards may be withheld.

How FeFe checks

FeFe applies automated signals to submissions, including completion speed relative to the stated study length, duplicate or near duplicate text, repeated patterns across submissions, and researcher reports of AI style answers. These signals produce a flag, not a verdict.

No account is suspended and no reward is withheld on an automated flag alone. A person reviews the flag first, and you can challenge any outcome through our complaints process. We do not use automated decision making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human involvement.

We do not train models on your data

FeFe does not sell your data and does not use participant screening data, health data or study responses to train AI models, our own or anyone else's. If that ever changes we will ask for your consent first and update this page.

Researchers using AI

  • If your study permits or requires AI use by participants, say so clearly in the study description.
  • Do not put participant responses containing health data into a third party AI tool unless your own lawful basis, consent and data protection assessment cover it. That is your responsibility as controller for your study data.
