Frequently Asked questions
PEIRA is a crowdsourcing and research platform for social science researchers. We partner with research teams from universities—both in Hong Kong and internationally—to help them recruit participants and gather high-quality data.
The studies on our platform are primarily conducted by reputable university research teams and have been rigorously reviewed by their respective ethics committees. Participation is always voluntary—if you feel uncomfortable at any point, you’re free to withdraw with no obligation.
Payment methods vary by study. In Hong Kong, we typically use FPS (Faster Payment System), while overseas studies may offer cryptocurrency payments.
You must be at least 18 years old. Some studies may require a smartphone, computer, or specific apps (like Telegram or WhatsApp), as well as a valid payment method (such as an FPS account).
Your data is always encrypted and stored on secure servers. We never share your personal information with third parties outside the research teams.
