Mint Surveys panel membership
Mint Surveys gathers personal information when individuals register to become a member of our research panel. Any personal
information will not be provided to any other party without your consent.
To become a panel member, we ask that you fill out a registration survey that gathers some personal and general consumer
information. The information we gather is used for matching you with the appropriate research projects.
Once you have registered on our registration site you will be considered an online panel member. This means that we will
contact you from time to time to participate in surveys. There is no obligation to take part in surveys, and you can leave
the panel at any time you wish by sending an email to support@mintsurveys.com.au
.
We only report the information you provide in aggregate form and never use this information to personally identify you.
There may be the occasional instance where we ask you within the survey for your 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 research purposes if you
choose to grant us this permission.
Once a panel member, your personal information (name, address, city, state, and postcode) will be used in order for us
to send you $AU rewards. Sensitive information will only be collected if we have your direct consent. Sensitive information
means information or an opinion about an identified individual's racial or ethnic origin, membership of a political association,
religious beliefs or affiliations, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual
preferences or practices, criminal record or health. We do not share any sensitive information unless required by law.
