- Survey data policy checkbox label: Fill in the following box to add the text you wish to be displayed next to the checkbox that needs to be ticked by your participants to complete the survey. If empty, the default text is: "To continue please first accept our survey data policy".
- Survey data policy message: Fill in the textbox to add all information related to your survey data policy (e.g., where the data is stored, for how long, and so on).

If there is no placeholder given, there will be an appendix.
