2. What sources do we use?
<\/strong>
The source of your personal information depends on the study which led to us trying to contact you. As a rule, we have been provided with a telephone number or an e-mail address or a name, along with contact details, by a client authorised to do so for the purpose of conducting the survey, in the context of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. If you have been contacted in the context of one of our studies, on request we will of course provide you with the name and contact details of the controller as well as the contact details of the respective data protection officer.<\/p>

3. What personal data do we use or process?<\/strong><\/p>

Personal data means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. In the context of our studies, this may include the following data:
First name, surname, address and other contact information, such as your phone number, mobile phone number, e-mail address or IP address.<\/p>

We use software tools such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom to conduct online meetings and interviews. You can find more information on the processing of personal data by these tools here: Microsoft Teams<\/a> and Zoom<\/a>.<\/p>

4. Purpose of contacting you<\/strong><\/p>

When carrying out projects to process our clients\u2019 orders in the field of market\/social research, we require contact details in order to contact you. These are generally anonymous market research studies that are not for the purpose of sales or advertising.
Your participation is always voluntary and you always have the option of having your contact details made unavailable or deleted.<\/p>

5. Legal basis of data processing<\/strong><\/p>

The legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in furthering economic interests.
In principle, the GDPR permits the processing of personal data in our studies:
\u2022\u00a0on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR) or
\u2022\u00a0for the fulfilment of contractual obligations (Article 6 (1b) GDPR) or
\u2022 in the context of weighing up different interests (Article 6 (1f) GDPR)<\/p>

6. Disclosure of personal data<\/strong><\/p>

It is not envisaged that personal data be disclosed to third countries or international organisations.<\/p>

7. Retention period
<\/strong>
Personal data are routinely stored for a period of 6 months after completion of a project. The data are stored in order to be able to fulfil subsequent requests for information and provide quality assurance measures. If our customers voluntarily participate in competitions, this may extend the retention period up to the time the winner is drawn. Immediately after the interview is carried out, the data are pseudonymised.<\/p>

8. Right to access to data, rectification, erasure
<\/strong>
You have the right to be granted access to the relevant personal data by the controller at any time. You also have the right to order the rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing.<\/p>

9. Right to object, right to withdraw consent, right to lodge a complaint
<\/strong>
You have a right to object to the processing. To the extent that the processing is based on Article 6 (1a), you have the right to withdraw your previously given consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to its withdrawal. It is not required in order to conclude a contract. You are not required to provide personal data.<\/p>

Please also note that you have a right to lodge a complaint with one of the data protection supervisory authorities under Art. 77 (1) GDPR.<\/p>
