I spent three weeks on a waiting list for Prolific, jumping through every hoop they demanded: uploading my driver’s license front and back, a selfie, and even writing a five-paragraph essay. After all that effort, I was instantly rejected in seconds. No explanation, no review, nothing. Their “support team cannot provide additional details” line feels like a total brush-off after collecting sensitive personal information.
Even more concerning: Prolific says they will delete my data if I close my account, but how can I really trust that after such a rushed rejection following weeks of verification? It leaves a lingering worry about where my personal information went.
This experience feels completely arbitrary and disrespectful. If you value your time and privacy, think twice before giving Prolific your personal data. They may reject you for reasons you’ll never know, and there’s no recourse or accountability.
