• To respond to a support based issue
• To validate answers a panelist gave in a recent survey we carried out on behalf of our clients;
• To update and ensure that our records of a panelist’s personal information is true and correct.
• Occasionally, we may contact a panelist for one of these other purposes:

To gather information to provide any other form of incentive offering

To ask for a panelist his/her permission to use their personal information for a purpose that was not explained to them when their personal information was first collected.

When a panelist participates in any of our surveys that we carry out on behalf of our clients, the survey may ask a panelist for their personal opinions, as well as demographic information, such as their age and household composition. A panelist may refuse to answer certain questions or discontinue participation in a study at any time.
