A better way to do online market tracker research

Privacy Statement

General

The confidence of all persons who participate in surveys is crucial to all the activities of the 365QPDM. This privacy statement is therefore meant to give a clear explanation about the way we handle data which can be labeled as confidential or privacy-sensitive.

365QPDM deliberately conforms itself to the behaviour code of Esomar, the international association of market research bureaus. Furthermore, we subscribe to the guidelines on the field of internet market research which were set up by this association.

The rules below were set up by us. By respecting these rules, we can guarantee you that all data are handled by us with great care.

Data collection

365QPDM collects data about a wide range of topics. This is done in various ways, for instance through online surveys. 365QPDM is the exclusive owner of the information it gathers. This information will not be made public, sold, or shared with others, other than described in this privacy statement, without your explicit permission. 365QPDM ignores every third party request to publicise the identity of respondents or any other personal information, unless it is forced by law to do so.

We respect your privacy and will never use your personal data for other goals than research. Your personal data will never be shown to third party members without your explicit permission. Your personal answers on survey questions will never be reported to individuals and will be handled entirely anonimously.

Participation in a survey is always on a voluntary basis. In general, 365QPDM raffles prizes among the respondents of a survey. Contacting information, such as your e-Mail address, is hereby used when announcing the prize winners. When it comes to security, 365QPDM handles your personal data with great care.

Survey data are stored on internal servers behind a firewall or on a secured web environment. Technical safety measures make sure that any confidential information is exclusively accessible to 365QPDM staff members whose task is to process survey data. All 365QPDM staff members have signed a pledge of confidentiality in their employment contract. This way, confidential data are always protected. In certain cases, research data are temporarily stored on servers owned by suppliers of 365QPDM. When this happens, these suppliers are forced to respect our privacy policy by making them sign a special contract.

External data collection

365QPDM does not only gather information through its own website. It also works by order of third party members or together with partners. At this, data can be gathered through online questionnaires which are activated by means of ‘click stream intercept’ (pop-up screen), banners, buttons, e-Mail or links on third party websites. When gathering information from external sources, 365QPDM protects the privacy of its respondents as well. Research data, including results, are only shown to clients or partners anonimously and/or in an authorised form. If clients wish to have personal contact with respondents, in which case anonimity cannot be guaranteed by 365QPDM anymore, then you will be notified about this in advance.

When pop-up questionnaires are used for external data collection, cookies are used to make sure that users get a certain questionnaire only once. Other personal information will never be stored in these cookies.

365QPDM Online Panel System

In most online surveys, we ask respondents for their permission to address them for future surveys as well. If they agree, these respondents’ personal profiles are stored in the365QPDM Online Panel System.

Personal data modification

In conformity with the privacy commission, you can view, edit or delete your personal data online. In order to do this you need a code and a password, which you receive from us when you join the 365QPDM panel.

Cookies

In some cases we use cookies to indentify panel members. This way, you won’t have to fill in the same standard data over and over again.
