3. Personal Data that we may collect about you

We collect Personal Data in different ways as described below. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Data, as well as the consequences of failing to do so. If you do not provide Personal Data when requested, you may not be able to complete certain surveys, if that information is necessary to enable us to invite you to participate in a survey, or if we are legally required to collect it.

3.1 Personal Data provided by you

(a) To join our panel community, you must complete a mandatory registration form, (all questions must be completed), via our website that gathers some personal and general consumer information about you. By doing so, you acknowledge and agree that you provide personal information to Opinion.life.

(b) We ask for your email address so that we can send you email invitations to participate in our upcoming surveys and to enable you to redeem the incentive rewards you will earn for participating. The other information we gather, such as your name, address, gender, date of birth, household size, income, education and employment status is for matching you with the appropriate marketing research projects. Your date of birth is used to automatically update your age for us to target age-related groups for research surveys. We ask you for this information to check if you might qualify for particular projects and to minimise sending you survey invitations for which you would not qualify. After registration, you may complete your profiling questions and provide us with more information so that we can invite you to as many appropriate surveys as possible.

(c) In addition, we collect Personal Data you provide when you participate in a survey or in connection with the receipt and redemption of incentive rewards. Such information includes a unique panelist/respondent identification number we assign to you when you sign up for an account and the responses you provide when completing the survey.

3.2 Sensitive information

(a) For some research surveys, it is important to us to identify some sensitive personal information and if required by law, we will ask you for your consent to the processing of such sensitive personal information. Examples of sensitive personal information are; your racial or ethnic origin; your political opinions; you physical or mental health or condition; and your sexual life. This information will only be shared with third parties if necessary for specific research studies and only if you have provided your prior consent to the participation in such studies. We may provide sensitive personal information about you if required by law to do so. We may also collect content that you submit, upload or transmit when completing a survey, such as photos and videos.

(b) If you take a survey or provide us with personal information without being a member of our panel, the only personal information we will preserve is your email address, gender, age and postal code, machine ID and IP address and (if permitted by law; your ethnicity). We do this so we may contact you if you have won a prize or are entitled to an incentive, to match you to appropriate surveys and improve the user experience. Unless you choose to become a member of the opinion.life panel community, we will not contact you for any reason other than to notify you that you have won a prize or are eligible for an incentive. If you are entitled to a prize or an incentive, we will collect and maintain such personal information, as we are required to maintain or report by virtue of any law or regulation.
