You may give us information about yourself, your attitudes and behaviours by answering questions via an online survey.
The information you give us may include your name, title, address, email address, phone number, job, ethnicity, income, and your views and attitudes towards buying a range of products and services.
The information that you give to us via a survey or market research interview/focus group is compared to the information provided by lots of other consumers like yourself, and Boxclever carry out an analysis of this data to produce a report to our client. This report looks at trends in the data and a consensus of opinion; as such, it is analysed anonymously, at an aggregate rather than individual customer level. This means that, in the data we analyse, we do not see or report on individual customer behaviour or views, or have access to or are able to provide any details of the identity of specific customers who have taken part, to our clients.
When you complete a survey, we use a partner company to host the survey, and this partner also acts as a data processor. This partner company may automatically collect information about your visit such as the webpages or sections you viewed, questions you completed, length of visits to certain pages, and the times and dates of these actions. These partner companies may also collect data from the device and application that you use to access the survey, including your IP address (from which it may be possible to infer your geographic location), and browser type. If you arrive at the survey website from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email) the partner company may record information about that source.
If you have any questions or concerns about the way that our hosting partners handle information they may collect about you, please contact privacy@boxcleverconsulting.com and we will connect you with the relevant partner who is the data processor for the survey you have completed.
