SPUR Extension for LimeSurvey (NJIT Study)

Shows NJIT study participants their ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini chats and memory in a LimeSurvey survey. IRB-approved study.

This extension is for participants in a research study by the SPUR Lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The study explores people's preferred default retention policies for AI chatbot chats and memory. It has no use outside the study. Participants install it after giving consent on the first page of our self-hosted LimeSurvey survey, so that the survey can show them their own data. The extension: • Reads AI chatbots' chat titles, chats, and memory, using the account they are already signed in to • Shows the content inside the survey questions, so answers are based on the participant's real chats and memory. • For Gemini only, sends one message from the participant's account to ask for its memory after they confirm. That chat stays in their Gemini history. Privacy: • Chats and memory are stored only in the participant's browser and are deleted automatically after 24 hours, or sooner with Clear Data. • Only what a participant chooses to submit reaches our survey server, such as chat titles, conversations, or memory items they select, and their written answers. Nothing is selected in advance. • Error reports are sent only if the participant chooses to send one through Prolific.
