Scenario Examples
Bram's Approach:
(Ignoring Autonomy)
Bram builds a similar feedback tool, but doesn't ask for permission.
He skips the explanation to “save time” and assumes people won't mind.
He collects personal comments anonymously, but doesn't tell anyone how they're stored or used.
Results:
- Users drop out of the study or product
- Users feel tricked and file complaints
- Users skip questions or give false data out of distrust
- Team loses credibility (especially in public-facing research)
- You may violate GDPR rules → serious legal risks
