If you have questions about the processing of your Personal Data, you can always contact Precision Sample through the contact details listed at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice describes our processing of your Personal Data when you are our User.

Our Clients develop market research or other similar questionnaires or surveys (“Surveys”) and offer them to our Users. The Surveys may be hosted on the Client’s website or through other services or we may host Surveys on behalf of our Clients on our Platform. Our Platform allows Users to create an account, get invited for Surveys and receive a reward for taking Surveys (from us our via our Partners).

Please note that the relevant Client is the Controller within the meaning of the GDPR for any Personal Data collected through Surveys. This Privacy Notice does not apply to the collection of Personal Data via Surveys and the further processing of such Personal Data by our Clients. Please consult the Client’s Privacy Notice for more information about the processing of Personal Data by our Clients. If you have questions regarding a Client’s processing of your Personal Data or if you wish to exercise your rights regarding any Personal Data processed by our Client, you should contact the Client directly with your request.

We collect your first name, last name, email address, address, phone number (optional), gender, data of birth, preferred language and password when you create an account to become a Panellist (Registration Data). Depending on your country of residence, we may also require you to provide your ethnicity. The Registration Data are primarily used to create and maintain your account and communicate with you regarding that account and our Services.

If you register through a Partner we may be provided with certain Personal Data by that Partner, depending on the privacy policies of that Partner. We will provide the Partner with a Unique Identifier (a reference code linked to you by the relevant Partner), so that we can link your Survey input to your Unique Identifier. This allows us to communicate with the Partner that you have completed the Survey without receiving any (additional) Personal Data.

We process these Personal Data to perform our User Agreement with you or to take steps prior to entering into such agreement (as further described in our Terms and Conditions for Users).

We may process your telephone number if you gave us your consent to do so (by completing the optional field).

The Registration Data are also used to contact you in case we have a new Survey that matches your profile, so you can complete this Survey and receive a reward. We do this to perform our User Agreement with you.

We also collect Personal Data in connection with our tracking of emails opens and clicks based on legitimate interest.

We also use the Registration Data to grant you a preferred status if your friend signs up on our Platform through your referral link, or if you (as a referral) sign up on our Platform. This status includes getting a deposit in your account. We process the Registration Data for this purpose because we have a legitimate interest to do so.

To increase your chances of getting invited for a Survey, you can add Personal Data to your user profile on your background, demographics, etc. when you are a Panellist (Profile Data). You may generally choose what Profile Data to provide. We use the Profile Data to assess your suitability for a specific Survey. We do this to perform our User Agreement with you.

In some cases, when you are selected for a Survey, we may ask for Additional Profile Data if the Client requires additional specific information to determine your suitability for the Survey. We also store and use these data to invite you to Surveys in the future that are relevant to your background, directly or via the relevant Partner.

In some cases where you registered into our Services via a Partner, we ask you to provide your Contact Details (name and email address) to us, so we can invite you to Surveys in the future ourselves.

At the Client’s direction and if allowed under applicable law, we may also augment your Profile Data with additional information obtained from third party commercial sources. We process the Additional Profile Data as part of our User Agreement with you.

We process the (Additional) Profile Data and Contact Details as part of our User Agreement with you.

The (Additional) Profile Data may include Special Categories of Personal Data within the meaning of article 9 GDPR, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, data concerning health and data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation. We only process such Special Categories of Personal Data if you gave us your explicit consent to do so, i.e. by confirming you understand that we will process such data when you complete the relevant question.

When a Survey is hosted on our Platform, we collect Technical Survey Data. This includes the type of device (mobile, tablet, computer), device IDs, geolocation data (based on your IP address), browser settings, and other data generated through applications and browsers when completing a Survey. It furthermore includes information about how you navigate through the Survey. This may include data on how long it takes you to complete each question as well as the entire Survey, which is relevant for our Survey analysis. In some instances, we will also process information relating to your activity during a Survey (e.g., your mouse activity). We process these data because we have a legitimate interest to do so or because we have obtained your consent.

We collect Technical Survey Data via cookies and similar technologies. If you would like to know more about the cookies we use, please consult our Cookie Statement

If you receive compensation for participation in a Survey as a Panellist, we also collect and process compensation-related information, such as your PayPal email address and information about vouchers provided to you (Compensation Data). This information is used to track and process compensation you are entitled to receive in connection with Survey completion.

We process these data, because this is necessary to perform our User Agreement with you. We may also process these data because we are legally obliged to share (some of) these data with tax authorities.

When you register into our services via one of our Partners, whether and how you will be awarded for each completed survey depends on the agreements you have made with that Partner.

We collect Personal Data about you when you engage with us via email, mail, sign up forms or other contact forms available through the Services. This Personal Data includes your name, e-mail address and the content of the correspondence.

We use these data to answer your questions and/or handle any complaints, support you in using our Services and improve our Services as a result of questions and feedback from you. We process these data, because we have a legitimate interest to contact and assist you based on your comment or question and to improve our Services as a result of the questions and feedback we receive.

We automatically collect information on how you interact with the Services, such as the IP address from which you access the Services, date and time, information about your browser, operating system and computer or device, pages viewed, and items clicked (Usage Data).

We use the Usage Data to analyze and improve our Services, to control unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or otherwise detect, investigate or prevent activities that may violate the User Agreement or other fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activities. We, for example, use your IP address to verify your country of residence.
