About this app

Murmuras is a spin-off from the University of Bonn and offers next generation research technologies for scientists to conduct behavioral studies.

The Murmuras app allows you to participate in scientific studies and shares your behavioral data with the appropriate researcher. Your personal data will only be used for study purposes. In particular, personalized advertising, personal credit scoring or other automated decisions about individual participants are excluded. Murmuras always tries to protect your data and to ensure GDPR (DSGVO) compliance. All servers are adequately secured and hosted in Germany. For further information regarding data privacy and data security please have a look at our privacy policy.

This app is part of Murmuras’ digital infrastructure. We provide a full-stack solution, from data collection (via the Murmuras app) to analysis (via Web-platform) for researchers and scientific institutes.

We are able to collect the following wide variety of data:
1. Location data (such as GPS-data and mobile network provided data)
2. Smartphone usage data:
a) App-sessions (time spent actively using a specific app)
b) Smartphone-sessions (time spent actively using the device)
3. Smartphone app content data (content that is being displayed to the user in specific apps)
4. Onboarding-questions (questions addressed at the beginning of a study - from the categories of demography, health, consumption, sociology, economy, psychology, politics, etc.)
5. Study related questionnaires at the beginning, during, and at the end of the study. Questionnaires can also be triggered by app usage.
6. Wearables data (such as activity, sleep, blood pressure, depending on the used wearable)

The technology is built upon the Menthal project, a unique scientific study of the behavior of more than 700.000 smartphone users that has been running since 2014 at the University of Bonn.

This app uses Accessibility services. Murmuras uses this permission with the active consent of the end-user according to the study in which they are enrolled. The Accessibility Service API is used for retrieving window content and device interaction in order to analyze app usage and user behavior.
