1. OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT
   NielsenIQ complies with all applicable privacy laws, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. Indeed, it is crucial for us to keep NielsenIQ participant data confidential in order to prevent any interference with participants that could affect their behavior and the accuracy of our data. We will NOT use data that identifies you to advertise, promote, or market or sell third party goods or services directly to you or members of your household; we do not allow our clients to do so either.

2. YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS STUDY
   NielsenIQ processes your personal data primarily on the basis of your consent and voluntary participation in this Study. By participating in this Study, you are contributing your data to a pool of data from which broad participant statistics are derived. These statistics are relied upon by a wide variety of other companies to set pricing, advertising, merchandising, and other key business decisions. You have legal rights with respect to your personal data, as described in "Your Choices and Your Legal Rights," below.

3. THE DATA WE COLLECT
   We will collect or otherwise obtain data relating to you in a variety of ways. Such data includes personal data (i.e., data that alone or in combination with other data identifies you as an individual, such as your name, email address, phone number, and other data that can be reasonably linked to you as an individual). Additional details about the data that we may collect about you in connection with your participation in the Study and the sources of such data can be found below.
   Data you provide to us.

As part of this research study, you provide us with information. This may include:

directly identifying data, like your first and last name, home postal address or personal email address that by itself, or in combination with other readily available data, could identify you, or another member of your household;
demographic data such as age, gender, marital status, occupation and income range;[email protected]
your behaviors and preferences to help us better understand consumer behavior, use, and trends. “Behavior data” is when, why or how you do things such as how frequently you shop for groceries, use your computer, TV or the Internet. “Preference data” means the choices you make such as which breakfast cereals you buy, which stations to listen to or watch, or websites you visit.
any content or material you choose to submit, upload or transmit to NielsenIQ, including without limitation, photos, videos, images, or the likeliness of the individual submitting the content in connection with your participation in market research activities;
certain profile information stored in your social media platform account, should you agree to participate in market research activities through a third party service such as Facebook or Twitter;@aguinaldok4
voluntarily provided or disclosed Sensitive Information. "Sensitive information" means personal identifying information that discloses or reveals health or medical conditions, biometric or genetic data, sexual orientation or sexual life, political opinions/views, race/ethnic origin, religious and philosophical beliefs and trade-union membership.
your voice/ physical appearance as we might be audio/video taping your participation in a focus group or in-person interview or similar.

Information collected in connection with your use of this Website

In certain cases, we (or third parties) may collect data about your device using cookies and other similar technologies. This data may include your device’s internet protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, device model, operating system and version, browser type and language, and other transactional data (e.g., pages visited and access dates and times). Additional information about our use of cookies and similar technologies can be found in the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section below.

Data we get from other sources:

We may obtain data about you from third parties. For example, we may receive data from a Non-NielsenIQ Research Panel of which you are a member, which may include your name, contact information, and information about your willingness to participate in studies offered by companies like NielsenIQ.

Where applicable, we will combine the data we obtain from you with data obtained from other sources and will use it only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

4. HOW WE USE DATA
   We process the data that we collect in connection with the Studies in order to create a variety of market research insights for our clients. Specifically, your demographic data, data relating to your behaviors and preferences, and other data that you provide to us allow us to help companies understand, amongst other things, how consumers like you may react to their products, the probability of success of a product in the market, whether there are opportunities to improve a product, and how to market a product and communicate effectively with consumers.

When we prepare reports and share insights with our clients, we use tools and methods that are designed to ensure that there is no reasonable possibility of identifying you or any other participants in our Studies. For example, we will combine data obtained from you (including data in the photos and/or videos that you have uploaded) with data obtained from other participants in order to produce reports with aggregated data from which you cannot be reasonably identified.

We also create reports based upon modeled data. “Modeled data” are projections based on demographic and behavioral characteristics (like gender, age, and purchasing habits) that look at a sample group of people and then predict what people with similar characteristics or preferences would want to buy. This allows advertisers, for instance, to identify the likely audience for a marketing campaign.

If you are participating in a video research study, then the following applies:639784319599.1782.158.62.96.151/
We will share the individual videos you submit (and any accompanying personal data – primarily image and sound data) with the specific NielsenIQ client whose product you evaluated, and our client will use the videos (and any accompanying personal data) for its market research purposes. We will: (i) embed videos you provide to us in our report to the client, along with our insights and analyses, in order to highlight our insights and analyses; and (ii) provide the client with access to videos you submit. Providing the client with the videos you submit allows the client to observe how you respond to the product by seeing you react in the moment as you use the product, which may help uncover hidden risk(s) to the success of the product. Video recordings also capture and reveal to the client in image and sound what words alone cannot.

We may use your data to contact you. When we contact you – by phone (including mobile phone), email, SMS, or postal mail depending on what data you provide to us – we usually do so to:
respond to your inquiries or requests;
validate or clarify answers you have provided;
send you information regarding your participation in the Study;
provide notice regarding changes to our terms, conditions, and policies; and
Invite you to participate in additional Studies
We may also process your data for other purposes, including to:
manage the Study and assess your eligibility for participation in the Study and other Studies;
facilitate the day-to-day operations and financial management of the NielsenIQ group of companies and any corporate transactions (e.g., a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, etc.);gemini
prevent, investigate, and act concerning: (i) misconduct, such as fraud and unlawful or criminal activity; (ii) security or technical issues; or (iii) network and information security issues;
carry out data analysis and audits, develop new products, produce predictive data models, improve our services, identify usage trends, and determine the effectiveness of our communications;
protect the rights, property, operations, health, or safety of you, one or more entities within the NielsenIQ group of companies, or others;
enforce our agreements, comply with applicable laws and regulations, and establish, exercise, and/or defend the legal rights of one or more entities within the NielsenIQ group of companies; and
respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process/requests and communications from law enforcement authorities or other government officials.

We may employ de-identification techniques in order to prevent your personal identity from being revealed from the data that we hold about you and use such de-identified data or allow others to use it for historical, academic, or longitudinal research. We ensure in such cases that there is no reasonable possibility of re-identifying you from the data used.
