Paid research study · 60 days · enrolling now
Earn money and help us understand kids’ screen time habits.
Clearspace is running a 60-day study on how kids really use their devices. Take part, send one screenshot a day, and we’ll compensate your family for your time. It’s voluntary, it’s time-boxed, and everything we collect is spelled out before you say yes.
What taking part looks like
- 1
Enroll & set up
We confirm you’re a fit, then walk you through a short, guided install on your child’s device — in person or over a call.
- 2
Send a daily screenshot
Once a day for 60 days, you send one Screen Time screenshot. A reminder makes it one tap.
- 3
Finish & get paid
Complete the 60 days and we send your compensation. Withdraw early and there’s no penalty — just let us know.
Voluntary, always
Participation is your choice and stays that way. Withdraw at any point, for any reason, no questions asked.
Time-boxed
A clear 60-day start and end. No open-ended commitment, no auto-renewing anything.
Fully documented
You’ll have the complete list of what we collect and how it’s used before you ever enroll.
Exactly what the study collects
This is data about your child. We minimize what we take, document all of it, and never sell any of it.
Collected
- A daily screenshot of your child’s Screen Time summary — the per-app totals you already see
- Anonymized network activity from the device — the kinds of services it connects to
- Basic device info needed to run the study app
Never collected or done
- The contents of messages, photos, or anything your child types
- Any sale or sharing of your data with third parties
- Holding data after you ask us to delete it
Your rights during the study
Request a copy of everything we hold on your family, have it deleted, or withdraw entirely — at any time, honored within days. Study questions go to a real person: research@clearspace.org.
Frequently asked
How and when do I get paid?
You receive $200 once you complete the 60-day study. We’ll confirm the payment method when you enroll.
What does my child have to do?
Nothing beyond using their phone as usual. We install a lightweight study app once; the only recurring task is yours — one daily screenshot.
Can I withdraw early?
Yes, anytime and without penalty. We’ll remove the app, stop collecting, and delete your data on request.
Is my child’s data safe?
We collect the minimum the study needs, never read message or photo contents, and never sell data. You can see everything we hold and have it deleted.
Who’s running the study?
Clearspace, a small team building screen-time tools for families. You’ll deal with us directly. Reach us at research@clearspace.org.
