abstract: "<p>This project characterizes decision subjects' information and procedural needs for meaningful contestability in an algorithmic decision-making process for policy enforcement. We interviewed 21 participants with experience renting their properties out as short-term rentals. We introduced a hypothetical algorithmic system for identifying illegal holiday rentals and informed participants that their property had been identified as an illegal holiday rental. Throughout the interviews we captured their needs to meaningfully contest the algorithmic decision and the decision-making process as a whole. The dataset includes:</p><p><br></p><ol><li>The pre-registration of the study</li><li>The screening survey</li><li>The interview protocol</li><li>The prompts used as part of the interviews</li></ol>"
