A cookie is a packet of electronic data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. As part of offering your specific surveys, information, and personalized services, BlancResearch may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. BlancResearch may require that you accept cookies for preparing such specific content for you. This also avoids you having to enter your login information every time.

BlancResearch collects information through surveys, registration and other means, which helps our research clients develop new products and services for consumers. You are sharing that information with BlancResearch only, unless it is specifically stated otherwise on any survey you participate in. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than BlancResearch, you will be notified prior to the time of the data collection or transfer. If you do not want your data to be shared, you may choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular survey or product. Rewards and promotions offered on BlancResearch may be sponsored by other companies independently, or co-sponsored by BlancResearch and another company. Some data collected during such a promotion may be shared with the sponsor; you will be notified before such collection/transfer. You can decide not to participate if you do not want to share your data. Any specific Sensitive Information (e.g. medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious beliefs, trade union membership, or sexual life information) will be treated with additional care. If BlancResearch intends to share such information for a different purpose than originally collected, we will ask for your express permission before any disclosure.

We take privacy very seriously. BlancResearch will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your explicit permission or when required by law, or under the circumstances described here. Business Partners, Clients & Sponsors: BlancResearch may disclose personal information to partners, clients or sponsors. If personal data about you will be shared, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data. Many activities request additional information from sponsors; by requesting more information you give BlancResearch permission to share your information with the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances only your email address will be shared. If more information will be shared, you will be notified in advance. If you opt-in to receive information from third parties, BlancResearch will (with your permission) share your name and email address with them. BlancResearch may also disclose personal information when necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone violating BlancResearch policies or causing damage to our services, members, or others. We may disclose or access account information if we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative purposes necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

BlancResearch is committed to Privacy and Data protection. Our privacy policy adopts the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) issued by the European Union as a benchmark which we, our employees and suppliers adhere to where applicable.

Only BlancResearch (or partners working under confidentiality agreements) will send you direct mail if you indicate you do not object. You also have choices about how cookies work. By changing your browser settings you can accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies you may be unable to use services that require registration. BlancResearch does not sell or lease user information. We will notify you at the time of collection if your data will be shared with a third party and you will have the option to decline.

Keep in mind that whenever you disclose personal information online (emails, social networks, blogs, chat areas) that information can be collected and used by others. If you post personal information publicly you may receive unsolicited messages. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online.

BlancResearch obtains prior parental consent where surveys require children to participate and parental supervision is required for surveys with children ages 6-15. We take extra care to protect young users' safety and privacy and encourage parental participation. We do not permit marketing to children in research and certain topics are prohibited when children participate, including: name/account name/email or physical address, phone number, race or ethnicity, religion or caste, household income, family illness, marital status of parents or family members, relationship matters, school grades, alcohol, sexual issues, tobacco and firearms.

The Site may be hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from the EU, Asia, or other regions with different data protection laws, please note that you may be transferring your personal data to a country whose laws differ from your local laws. By providing personal data you consent to the uses identified in this Privacy Policy and to transfer of data as described. If you do not want your information transferred, do not share it or use the Site. To the extent allowed by local law, you may be asked to waive rights to require treatment of your identifying information under laws other than those of the United States. This waiver may not be legally binding in some countries (for example EU Member States), and where it is not binding it does not apply to you.

BlancResearch reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. Each time we update the policy you will be required to affirmatively accept the updated Privacy Policy to continue using the Site; if you do not accept it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Site.
