The project goal
Better research, with quality data
The goal is to create a pseudonymized dataset of real, voluntarily contributed language for Computer Science research. Studying naturally written messages can help researchers understand how language varies across people and over time.
Data minimization is part of the research design: raw exports stay on your device, attachments are ignored, messages written by other people are excluded, and you can review which conversations are included before submitting.
