Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some key facts about panel membership:

• Registering for membership is free and will take a few minutes. To become a member of our Panel, please fill in the registration form.
• You must register in the country of your main residence at the time. If you move to another country, you can notify us to move your account.
• If you no longer wish to be a member, you can at any point delete your account - although then you'd also be forfeiting any points you have collected.
• Member data is strictly confidential and kept in a secure, password-protected database. We never make your personal or contact details available or otherwise pass them on to third parties.
• Your answers to any survey are always anonymized - we only connect them to demographic data for research purposes.
• If you have no time or do not wish to take part in a survey, you just ignore the invitation - participation is always optional.
• Points collected for answering surveys have a set monetary value and can be cashed only after a certain threshold is met, i.e. from a certain points total and upwards.

Depending on the requirements of a questionnaire and the specifications of the commissioning client, we need a specific target group for each survey. Questions about yourself and your lifestyle are often asked when you log in to your account as well as at the start of a survey. To help us find you the most relevant surveys possible, greatly increasing your chance to complete surveys, it is important that you answer these as accurately as possible.

Some surveys need only men or only women, or people who live in a particular region or are in a particular age range - so the more details we have about your demographic profile, the more likely you are to be invited to surveys that are relevant to you, and you will collect more points!

To ensure that you will participate in a survey that is relevant for you, please update regularly your profile and make sure you have completed all profile surveys.

Completing surveys for which you have received an invitation from us (the number of points you will receive depends on the duration of the survey).

Typically, the points are added to your balance shortly after you complete each survey. On rare occasions, this may take a little longer, sometimes up to 24 hours after completing the survey.

PayPal reserves the right to charge a transaction fee for all transfers made through its system. This 2% fee is a processing charge applied to all transactions made.

If you receive "Quota Full", the survey is normally already full of respondents within the same target range.

This can either be before the start of a survey, which is normally indicated as closed, or sometimes in the early part of a survey where certain criteria within the survey become filled (for example, within a certain age bracket).

This varies at the rate any given survey is responded to and the overall amount of responses needed by different people to fill a quota. For this reason, we encourage participants to answer at their earliest possible opportunity.

Surveys for which you receive a "Quota Full" message do not count as completed surveys, and no rewards are earned, as the information is not used.

The surveys you receive are usually looking for the specific opinions of a very set group of people. If we don't already know this information, we will ask a few questions at the start of a survey to make sure that it is relevant to you. If it isn't, you may be "screened out" or get a message that you haven't qualified for the survey on this occasion.

Rather than consuming your time on answers that cannot be used, the survey finishes early (normally within the first few questions).

This can happen from time to time, even if you have originally been selected to take part, as some surveys require more specific information than the system can initially provide.

To remain an active panel member, we recommend that you participate frequently in surveys that are sent to you.

Participation is voluntary, and if you decide not to participate in a survey, simply click on the decline link.

As a panel member, you will be invited to surveys which cover a wide range of topics, lengths and engagement.

Surveys are automatically sent via e-mail or displayed in OpinionAPP when your profile matches the requirements of the survey.

Your participation in surveys is completely voluntary.

There is no charge for taking surveys.

You are free to join and leave anytime you wish and participate only in those surveys that you are interested in taking.

We do not give, sell, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your prior consent.

Only non-identifiable and aggregated information will be shared, and any answers you provide to survey questions that we collect will remain entirely confidential.

You might get kicked out from a survey because:

• You filled out the questionnaire too quickly, without reading the questions precisely.
• Your answers were inconsistent.
• You did not fit the survey's target group.
• Your target group quota is already full. Sometimes, it can happen that a target group fills quickly and is then closed. For this reason, it is always recommended that you participate in the survey as soon as possible.
• Someone from the same IP address has already taken part in this survey.

• People who live in the same household or work in the same company share the same IP.
• Internet/mobile providers change user IPs frequently, and someone from the same IP has already participated in the survey.
• You are registered in another panel and have already participated in the survey (the system remembers your IP and prevents you from participating again).

If you have problems viewing the survey, please first try to copy the link from the invitation e-mail and paste it to your usual browser or try a new browser. It's always helpful to try different browsers if the link doesn't seem to work.

If it doesn't work, please contact us at support.rs@seeintouch.com, including the specific link you received, so we can trace the issue quickly.
