The Experimental Laboratory at Weber State University is bound by the rules of the Weber State University Institutional Review Board (IRB)..

Weber State's IRB rules include the proper safeguarding of potentially sensitive data collected during an experiment. Weber State experimental lab takes the following steps to meet its confidentiality requirements:

• All data collected during recruitment is stored on a server that is accessible only to Weber State Experimental Lab research staff. These data are used only for the purpose of recruiting subjects to participate in Weber State experiments.
• All personally-identifying data collected during an experiment (e.g., your name) is processed according to the approved ethics document of the respective study. Usually, any personal information is replaced with a code number, and the list linking code numbers to personally-identifying data is kept separate from the experimental data.
• All human-subjects forms containing personally-identifying information (e.g., informed consent) are stored in secure locations.

As a human-subject participant at Weber State Experimental Lab, it is your right to lodge a complaint if you believe that sensitive information about you collected during an experiment has not actually been kept confidential. Such complaints can be delivered to the Institutional Review Board at Weber State University.
