Dona is suited for sensitive research, like understanding communication patterns in mental health research while fully protecting participant privacy. Participants benefit too by receiving personalized visualizations of their messaging habits.

But is such minimal data still meaningful for scientific research? Our paper shows how even meta-data can be helpful in identifying interaction patterns and temporal dynamics. And it's not just for our advanced analysis!

What if your chat history could help research (without sharing a word)? Our paper in Behavior Research Methods #psynomBRM shows how! On our data donation platform, people can donate de-identified chat data from WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram! No content, no private details: just numbers!
