ADDITIONAL USE RESTRICTIONS (BEYOND THE CC BY-NC TERMS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

By downloading or using PULSE, you additionally agree NOT to:

  1. Attempt to re-identify any participant beyond information already
     present in the released data.
  2. Use the dataset to train, evaluate, or deploy systems whose primary
     purpose is covert worker surveillance, employee monitoring, or
     biometric identification of individuals without their freely given
     and revocable informed consent.
  3. Redistribute the raw scene-camera video or audio streams in a manner
     that conflicts with the participant media-release agreement signed at
     collection time (i.e., outside of bona fide academic research).

Downstream deployment of any model trained on PULSE for inference of
sensitive attributes (e.g., fatigue, stress, medical conditions) on new
human subjects requires its own ethics review by the deploying institution.
