Your personal data may be collected direct from a brand (who you will have given consent for sharing for the purposes of market research already), or it might be collected directly from yourselves by us.

We will only collect relevant data where it is necessary. For instance, when conducting telephone or face to face interviews it may be essential that we have your name, number, email address or work address in order to contact you and conduct the interviews.
We may collect data to pass back to our end client who wishes to contact you again in the future, perhaps with the results of the research carried out.

Data will be used by Sapio Research to contact research participants, carry out interviews and reimburse with incentives (where relevant). Occasionally data will be passed onto our end-clients (with your permission) so that they can use it to contact you again. Specific uses will be outlined at point of data collection, where you can opt into providing the data or not.

We will only share information associated with your name with your consent, unless otherwise legally obliged to do so.
