Ethical approval was given based on how data was going to be archived and processed in regard to privacy / data protection. NSD does not have an ethics committee / IRB, but is a national data protection agency. However, NSD did confirm that no further ethical approval from a Norwegian Regional Ethical Committee (REK) was necessary based on the type of study being conducted, and the data being collected. All participation was voluntary and consented. Participants were informed about the study during the recruitment, and again when they opened the link to the questionnaire. Here they received more detailed information regarding what the study entailed for participants. Consent was given when participants agreed to proceed and answer the survey.
