Privacy Statement for appreciation panels

GfK NOP Media would like to thank you for being a member. We are members of both the MRS and ESOMAR and carry out our services in accordance with the Standard Code of Conduct adopted by the Market Research Society, the Association of Market Survey Organisations and the ICC/ESOMAR International Code of Marketing and Social Research Practice.
We would like to reassure you that all the personal information that you have provided will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used to send information relating to this study. As a bona-fide Market Research company we will never sell or pass details to a third party and strictly adhere to the MRS code of conduct.

The answers you give us will be treated as confidential unless you have given your consent to the contrary. In the relatively few instances where we ask you for permission to pass data on in a form which allows you to be personally identified, we will ensure that the information will be used only for the purposes stated.

As with all forms of marketing and opinion research, your co-operation is voluntary at all times. No personal information is sought from or about you, without your prior knowledge and agreement. You are entitled at any stage of the interview, or subsequently, to ask that part or all of the record of your interview be destroyed or deleted. Wherever reasonable and practical we will carry out such a request. You are entitled at any time to withdraw from the panel and can do so by contacting us.

We try our best not to interview children without first getting the permission of their parents, though we cannot always guarantee this to be the case.

We use cookies and other similar devices sparingly and only for quality control, validation and to prevent any repeat surveying. You can configure your Browser to notify you when cookies are being placed on your computer. You can also delete cookies by adjusting your browser settings.

We automatically capture information about your browser type in order to deliver an interview best suited to your software. We do no other invisible processing of data from your computer.

Our web site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Only certain employees have access to the information you provide us. They have access only for data analysis and quality control purposes.

Confidentiality of the research is very important to us. As part of the research you have agreed to undertake for us you may sometimes be asked to watch (either a DVD or streamed content direct) new and existing programmes, as well as being asked to evaluate new tests of programme ideas and possible titles. You agree to treat all information relating this research as confidential and will not disclose any information to any third party or use the information for your own gain. If it is found that this agreement is broken, GfK NOP Media or our client reserve the right to explore any legal means of redress within our rights.
