data protection

DahmSF

Dear JATOS team,

i asked my university to implement JATOS on our server.

However, they have concerns with data protection - specifically with the use of MTurk.

Is there a way to implement JATOS on our server without the possibility to use MTurk?

Best,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

JATOS' MTurk integration is already quite weak. Most importantly it does not use MTurk's API. What it does is providing some code that can be copy-pasted into MTurk. That code contains a link to your JATOS that when opened starts a study. It is very simple. But if you still want to block your users from using MTurk the easiest is to block traffic coming from mturk.com. I found this link on SO that does it for Nginx.

Best,

Kristian
