Please take time to read the Privacy Notice set out in Exhibit A of this Agreement. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which you hereby acknowledge, you and Meta agree to the following terms and conditions: 1. Overview. Meta carries out a variety of research programs and focus groups in order to gain insights into how users engage with Meta’s released, prototype or experimental hardware (“Hardware”), software (including modifications, enhancements, updates, and documentation) that may or may not be used with the Hardware (“Software”), and/or any related materials or services (collectively, with Hardware and Software, referred to herein as “Product(s)”). We also conduct and support research and innovation on topics of general social welfare, technological advancement, public interest, health, and well-being. Meta’s collection, use, and other processing of your Research Data (as defined in Section 2 below) in relation to the Research is detailed in the Privacy Notice set out in Exhibit A of this Agreement (“Privacy Notice”). Meta may engage a third-party company to conduct the Research on our behalf (“Research Administrator”). 2. Information collected in connection with the Research. In connection with your participation in the Research, Meta and/or a Research Administrator may collect your information, including your name, age, gender, address, email address, phone number, and other personal background (“Participant Data”). Meta may collect your ideas, comments, opinions, responses to questions, and any other feedback you provide (“Response Data”). Meta may also record you in any format during the Research, including recording your use of our Products, measurements, answers, communications, and voice through any means, including without limitation, audio, video, photography, and screen captures (“Recordings”). Participant Data, Response Data, and Recordings collectively constitute “Research Data.” In this regard, by participating in the Research, you freely accept the use of your image (i.e., video or photos) and voice recording as indicated above by Meta for research purposes and understand it is necessary for conducting the Research. Please carefully review the attached Privacy Notice for further information about Meta’s processing of Research Data in relation to the Research. 3. Merged Data. Your information that is separately processed by Meta under the applicable data policy (“Data Policy”) may be linked with Research Data (together, the “Merged Data”) to assist with the Research. For example, as part of your participation in the Research, you may need to connect one or more Products with your personal social media accounts, such as your Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and/or Oculus account, to enable testing of product features and functionality. Merged Data will be used in accordance with the terms of this agreement, including the Privacy Notice attached to this Agreement. Any processing of
Research Data or Merged Data for the purposes of the Research will not affect your existing use of the Meta Products, which will remain subject to the applicable data policy for each product. 4. Ownership of Participant Data and Recordings. Meta acknowledges and agrees that Participant owns all right, title, and interest in and to Participant Data and Recordings on and from their creation. If and to the extent any right, title, and interest in and to Participant Data or Recordings do not automatically vest in Participant, Meta assigns and transfers all such right, title, and interest in and to Participant Data or Recordings to Participant. Participant hereby grants Meta a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, non-exclusive, sub-licensable royalty-free license to use, modify, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works from, and perform/display such Participant Data and Recordings for internal research purposes. Research Data may incorporate your information and you acknowledge that this information may be used, retained, and stored by Meta in accordance with the Privacy Notice. In the event that you withdraw your consent to the processing of your information, Meta will remove identifiable information from the Research Data. 5. Ownership of Response Data: Meta owns all right, title and interest in Response Data. To the extent that ownership of Response Data vests in Participant and not Meta, Participant hereby grants Meta a worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, modify, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works from, perform/display, and market Response Data for any purpose, including, but not limited to incorporation or implementation of such Response Data into a Meta technology, program, service or product. Should you disclose to Meta any unsolicited inventions or ideas, including but not limited to, technology, products, systems and services, Meta may use and build upon such information without restriction and on a royalty-free basis. You unconditionally and irrevocably waive, in respect of the Response Data, all moral rights which you may now or at any future time be entitled under applicable laws. 6. Payment. As payment for full participation in the Research, Meta will cause Participant to be paid (amount & currency) (“Participation Fee”). The Participation Fee is to compensate you for the value of your Response Data, your time, and any expenses you incur in participating. You warrant that you are receiving the Participation Fee to compensate you for the time and effort spent participating in Research, and for no other purpose, and accepting the Participation Fee is in compliance with all applicable laws. 7. Voluntary participation; Termination. You understand that participation in the Research is entirely voluntary and that you may at any time choose to stop participating in, or decline to participate in, any portion of the Research by using the contact information provided in the Privacy Notice.
