Personal Information and Confidentiality

Why do you need to know my income? How do you use my personal information?
Information such as name, age, and income are factors we use to select participants for our surveys. Without them, we are not able to balance our results according to U.S. census data and have statistically accurate survey results. Income is part of the demographic information we require to ensure we have a panel representative of the U.S. population.
Will you sell any of my information?
No! We will never give your personal information to anyone except as necessary with our trusted reward partners to enable them to provide member benefits. These third parties will not share your information with anyone else and will use it only to provide the rewards you have earned. Our clients never receive your personal information and the information you provide is only used for legitimate research purposes, and to determine who is best suited for a survey.

How will you contact me? How will I know if I have a survey to complete?
For surveys, we will contact you mostly by e-mail, but sometimes by telephone or mail. The e-mail invitation will provide the survey link (URL).
Make sure that questions@i-say.com is added to your address book or to your safe list. This way, any survey invitations we send you will go directly to your inbox, and not to the junk list.

If we need to send you a check or merchandise, we will use the mailing information you provided us. We also send newsletters by e-mail to keep you informed on i-Say Online Panel views.
