The SmarTrail App will gather user information, both implicit and explicit, from the participants through their mobile phone. Participants will be informed of the nature of the types of information and asked to grant consent for each type. These types include: questionnaire feedback, location data, mobile device screen usage. Questionnaire feedback will include questions drawn from the literature that ask participants to reflect on their trail experience. Capturing location data uses the user’s mobile device GPS locations to situate the answers to questions, to allow researchers to associate question answers to a location, and identify patterns and changes based on location. Capturing mobile device screen usage from the mobile device allows researchers to identify correlations between participant screen use and answers to questions. Prior to data analysis, data will be anonymized by associating each participant with a different code to maximize privacy. Participants can withdraw consent for some or all information types at any time.
