You do not have to answer these questions and such questions will always include a "prefer not to answer" option. Responses to these questions will remain confidential unless you explicitly and freely consent to your responses to these questions, together with your personal data, being passed to research clients for further in-depth research analysis. 

How Will We Use the Information You Provide? 

We will use the information you provide to:

We may forward your personal data and individual survey answers to another market research institute that is our business partner, for the following purpose: sending you survey invitation by e-mail or by phone with links leading to surveys or using your personal data for prize/gift delivery or prize draws (if the case) related to participation to these market research institutes’ surveys. Nevertheless, such third party will be required to observe the condition that the data can be used only for statistical, research and/or prize/gift delivery/prize draw organization purposes and bound not to forward or further disclose data such as name, postal address or other personal data that could serve to identify you.

We may send your information to our sub-contractors or affiliated companies who carry out some work on our behalf, control and responsibility, for data hosting. Some of these sub-contractors may be based outside of North America; however, they are required to abide by the same data privacy legal requirements and security arrangements as us and will be subject to appropriate safeguards. 

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal data we process are accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive, given the purpose for which they were obtained. We will not process personal data obtained for one purpose for any unconnected purpose unless you have consented to this. 

We will NEVER use your information for any purpose other than research or as described in this policy. Other than in relation to this Panel (like participating in further surveys), we will NOT try to sell you anything, nor use your information for marketing purposes.
