You should check this page each time you visit the website to ensure that you are aware of our current policies. This version of the policy is effective as of July 10, 2023.
Information
We CollectWhen you participate in research with us, we collect information from you.

• When we contact you, we usually do so for one of the following reasons:
• You are invited to participate in the study.
• Confirm the details of the study you wish to participate in
• Conduct research with you
• Validate the answers/perspectives you have given in recent QA/validation studies
• Update your personal information and ensure that our records are accurate (if you are a member of an ongoing community/network/group at Phronesis)
• To let you know that we have conducted research or to provide you with a reward/prize/gift for participating in the research
• If you have applied for an open position in our organization, please discuss your profile
• The information we collect may include your personal opinions, as well as personal information such as your name, address, zip code, gender, occupation, age, date of birth, email address, telephone number, etc. Sometimes, we may also collect sensitive personal information, such as political opinions.
• In order to achieve the objectives of our research, we use personal information about data subjects to contact them and ask them if they are interested in participating in our research. Therefore, according to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, the first contact is based on "legitimate interests". Here, respondents have the option to decline to participate. Once the respondents have agreed to participate in the study, we continue to ask for their consent in a more structured manner. If this is relevant to the research conducted, we may also collect business contact information, such as company name, job title, and department.

In addition, online surveys collect your IP address, the type of browser you use, the operating system you use, your screen size, and other essential metrics.
We do not carry out any unnoticed processing of data from your system. We will only collect and use personal information in accordance with this Policy to the extent reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business purposes, and we will take protective measures to ensure the security, completeness, accuracy, and privacy of the information you provide.
Phronesis Partners makes every effort to keep the personal information it uses on a regular basis under its possession or control, accurate, complete, current, and relevant, in accordance with the most current information available to us. We rely on you to help us keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up-to-date by answering our questions correctly.
The personal information collected is generally retained for 9 months from the start of the program, unless specifically stated at the time of participation, or 6 months after the completion of the study, whichever is earlier. Non-identifying information you provide will not be retained for more than 9 months.

Why is market research important?
Market research gives you the opportunity to have an opinion on topics that may affect you, your business, and your family. Manufacturers, retailers, service companies, political parties and governments can only succeed if they please you, the customer; Therefore, they need to figure out what you need and want. Your opinions affect a variety of products and services and may have an impact on issues that affect the quality of your business or lifestyle. A market researcher's job is to ask questions – find out what you think.

Contact
us by phone/mobile phone phone interviewers are always professionally trained and get basic information to handle any queries raised during the call. However, there may be questions after the call, or you may want to leave a comment or complaint.
Where did you get my phone number?
We may obtain your phone number in two main ways:

• We are often hired by companies to conduct surveys on behalf of their clients: this ensures that opinions are collected in an independent, impartial manner, enabling companies to know exactly what their clients are saying. In this case, we receive customer data from the company that commissioned the research;
• Some clients want their surveys to be representative of the national or regional population. In this case, we turn to various subscription databases such as D&B, Hoovers, Capital IQ, Factiva, Bloomberg, Thomson, Zoominfo, Evaluate Pharma, PrivCo, PitchBook, as well as professional websites such as LinkedIn, Xing, etc., for details of professionals who are qualified to conduct surveys.

Why are you calling me even though I have signed up for the Telephony Preference Service (TPS)?
Phronesis Partners does not sell or market products to respondents – the purpose of our calls is always to conduct genuine market research, the answers of which are completely confidential and only disclosed to clients anonymously.
