Context and intent matter.
If someone at a gas station asks me "hey could you give me $5 so I can buy some gas. I'm out of cash." and I give them the money. Then they proceed to fill up a can and go burn down a house. Should I be arrested as an accomplice?
There was no indication that they would do that and if I knew there's no chance I would agree to give them anything.
You'd have to find additional evidence that I consented to that action. In this case, I really doubt anyone knew that their data would be used in this way when all they wanted to do is take a quiz.
