Additional optional information may include your home address, phone number, IP address, and various demographic details—such as postal code, marital status, education level, relationship status, job history, race or ethnicity (as allowed by law), health data, employment-related details, and general household information like income, age, and the number of residents.

If you choose to share data about your spouse, family members, or anyone living with you, Global Meta Survey will ask you to confirm that you have obtained their permission to disclose their personally identifiable information.

Global Meta Survey enhances its services by collecting accurate and detailed user information, allowing for a more personalized experience. You can update your personal details at any time by logging into your account with your username and password, then navigating to the "My Preferences" section under your name on the Dashboard. Any updates you make will be saved and applied immediately. It’s important to keep your information current to help Global Meta Survey maintain accurate records.

The company is committed to ensuring that the data it collects is used appropriately and remains relevant for its intended purpose. To this end, Global Meta Survey takes reasonable steps to ensure that all data is reliable, valid, complete, and up to date.

Automatically Collected Information: When you browse the website or open HTML emails from Global Meta Survey, certain data is automatically collected and stored. This includes information about your computer or mobile device and your online behavior, known as “Response Metadata” or “Response Data.” This data is handled in line with the terms of the Privacy Policy.

Response Data may be shared with survey creators, researchers, clients, and app developers. It may also be provided to independent third parties for internal purposes, such as marketing. If you do not wish for your data to be shared with these third parties, you can opt out by contacting info@globalmetasurvey.com or by permanently deleting your account.

Response Metadata includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Cookies Information:When you visit the Site, we may place one or more cookies—a small text file with a string of alphanumeric characters—on your computer. These cookies help us perform analytics, operate our services, and understand how users interact with the Site, including preferences and behavioral trends. For example, a cookie may allow you to skip a survey you've already completed.

Global Meta Survey uses both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device and may be used during future visits). You can remove persistent cookies at any time. Each browser has its own method for managing cookies, so please consult your browser’s help documentation or support resources to adjust your cookie settings.

If you're accessing the Site from a region where cookie consent is legally required, you will be prompted to accept cookies before any are used.

If you choose to disable or reject cookies, some features of the Services may not work as intended. By opting out of cookies, you acknowledge and accept any resulting limitations in functionality or user experience.

• Device Information: We may collect technical details about your device, such as your browser type, operating system, device type, and IP address.
• Geolocation Data: Your device’s IP address may be used to determine your approximate location.
• Usage Metrics: We track how you interact with the Services, including how long you use them, the time it takes to complete tasks like surveys, and which features or functions you engage with.
• Web Beacons: Also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs," these are small, transparent images that may be included in emails. Used alongside cookies, web beacons help us understand user behavior and improve the Services by collecting limited information.

Optionally Collected Information: If you choose to participate and install optional contextual tracking on your computer or mobile device, you are giving us permission to passively monitor and collect data about your online activity. This includes the collection of mobile identifiers such as Apple’s Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) and Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID), which help us recognize your device within mobile apps and connect you with relevant survey opportunities.

While using your computer, we may log the websites you visit, the times of those visits, how long you spend on each site, the search terms and phrases you enter, the search engines you use, and the software or apps you rely on to browse and access the internet. You are free to pause or turn off this optional tracking feature at any time.

Additional types of information may also be collected and stored.

When conducting surveys on behalf of our survey partners, Global Meta Survey may collect the responses submitted through these surveys. However, this information is not owned by Global Meta Survey. Therefore, any data you choose to share during these surveys is governed by the privacy policies of the respective survey partner.

If you provide Global Meta Survey with comments, suggestions, or other feedback about our Services (“Feedback”), you acknowledge that we may—though we are not required to—store, use, share, or otherwise commercially apply that Feedback in relation to any of our Services, without offering you any form of payment or acknowledgment.

Optional contextual tracking runs silently in the background and does not impact your internet speed. We do not intentionally use this tracking to collect highly sensitive personal data such as passwords, usernames, Social Security numbers, financial details (except noting visits to financial institutions), or specific health information (other than recognizing visits to healthcare-related websites or searches on medical topics).

Global Meta Survey, as part of its operations, connects users with third parties through various offers and surveys. If you choose to subscribe to or opt into an offer or survey from one of these third parties, Global Meta Survey may share your information with them to help facilitate that relationship. We may also share your information with service providers who assist us in delivering services such as website hosting, IT support, data analysis, infrastructure, email distribution, auditing, and customer service.

In many instances, you may be asked directly by the third party to provide your personal information—this could occur when completing an offer, taking a survey, or interacting with their websites. Global Meta Survey is not responsible for any information you share directly with these third parties and strongly recommends reviewing their privacy policies.

We may also share both personally identifiable and automatically collected data with affiliated companies or service providers that work on our behalf. These third parties may help with site maintenance, security, feature development, and overall improvement of the Site. They are required to handle the data in line with our Privacy Policy and implement appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Global Meta Survey may provide non-personally identifiable and aggregated data to interested third parties for their own business use, including insights into user behavior, content engagement, advertising, and promotional effectiveness.

Optionally collected information may also be shared in aggregate form with clients to identify internet usage patterns and consumer behavior trends, which can inform the development of current or future products and services.

In certain cases, we may share personally identifiable information with third-party organizations for their marketing or promotional use, unless a specific program or feature allows you to opt out. We may also dsclose your personal information if we believe it is necessary in good faith to:

• Comply with legal obligations or respond to legal requests like subpoenas, court orders, or warrants.
• Protect our rights, property, users, or third parties from fraud, abuse, legal violations, or other harmful actions.
• Safeguard the security or integrity of Global Meta Survey, our users, the public, or others, as deemed appropriate by us.

Additionally, we may share personal and demographic data—such as a unique ID, postal code, gender, marital status, education, race/ethnicity (where legally permitted), job-related details, and household information—with third-party market research companies (“Third Party MR Companies”). These companies may use this data to match you with relevant survey opportunities, and they may also share this information with their own clients or vendors.

Such data sharing may also occur in the event of a business transition, such as a merger, sale, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other corporate reorganization involving Global Meta Survey. Third Party MR Companies may likewise share your data if required by law or deemed necessary in good faith.

In accordance with applicable laws—including those outside your country of residence—we may disclose your information for the following reasons:

If you qualify for a survey opportunity, the Third Party Market Research (MR) Company will send us your unique identification number along with a survey link, and we will then invite you to take part in the survey. We do not share your name, email address, or phone number with these Third Party MR Companies. Please note that your data may be transferred and stored outside your country of residence as part of this process.

If you have any questions about how your data is shared, you can contact us using the information below. You may also opt out of this data sharing by deleting your account via the Preferences section on the Global Meta Survey platform.

Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, Global Meta Survey does not share personal information with third parties unless it is necessary to fulfill a user’s request, is legally required, or is in Global Meta Survey’s legitimate interest to protect its rights, property, or the rights and property of others.

Global Meta Survey complies with the Privacy Shield Principles regarding the handling of personal data transferred to third parties. If we engage third-party agents to process data on our behalf and they do so in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles, Global Meta Survey remains responsible unless we can demonstrate we were not at fault for the issue that caused the damage.

You have the ability to access your personal information and can update, modify, or remove your account details and email preferences at any time.

To help safeguard your privacy and ensure account security, we take appropriate measures to verify your identity before allowing access to your profile. It is your responsibility to keep your password and account details confidential at all times.

Please be aware that, unless Global Meta Survey specifies otherwise for certain types of information, any content you choose to post on the Site will be publicly visible to all users.

Although we strive to safeguard your personal information from loss, breaches, unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction by implementing security and maintenance measures, any information you provide is still vulnerable to unauthorized access, hardware or software failures, and the inherent risks of using the Internet. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your data will always remain completely secure.

We may transfer the information we collect from you to countries other than where it was originally gathered. Please be aware that some of these countries may have different data protection laws than your own. However, we will safeguard your information according to this Privacy Policy when transferring it internationally. By using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, transfer, storage, and disclosure of your information as outlined in this policy, including its transfer outside your country of residence. If you use the Services from outside the United States, your data—including any Response Data—may be sent to, stored, and processed within the United States. As a result, U.S. federal and state governments, courts, or law enforcement and regulatory agencies may have the legal authority to access your information.

In accordance with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect or request Response Data or personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of sixteen (16). By providing personal information on the Site, users confirm they are at least 16 years old. If you are a parent or legal guardian and find that your child has shared such information with us, you can contact Global Meta Survey at info@globalmetasurvey.com to have their information removed.

The Site allows you to actively opt-out of receiving communications from us and our partners when we ask for your information. You can choose to stop us from using your information and to stop receiving or accessing future communications or services. To do so, please contact us at info@globalmetasurvey.com.

Global Meta Survey may work with third-party ad servers or ad networks to display ads on the Site. These third parties can send ads and links directly to your browser and may automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They might also use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons to track how effective their ads are and to customize the ads you see.

If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal when you visit the Site, Global Meta Survey will not honor it because we don’t track users across the web unless you opt into a specific program or feature.

Global Meta Survey does not allow these third-party ad servers or networks to collect or access your personally identifiable information unless you have explicitly opted in to a related program or feature. Additionally, if you interact with an ad targeted to a specific audience, the advertiser or ad network may assume you match that audience profile.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks, as Global Meta Survey’s Privacy Policy does not cover or control their actions or websites.

No data sent over the Internet can be guaranteed completely secure. Therefore, we cannot promise the security of any information you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we take reasonable measures to protect it using secure server software (SSL) and firewalls to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information won’t be accessed or compromised unlawfully.

If Global Meta Survey becomes aware of a security breach, we may try to notify you electronically so you can take appropriate protective actions. By using the Site or providing your personal information, you agree that we can contact you electronically about security, privacy, and administrative matters related to your use of the Site. We may also post a notice on the Site about the breach, which you can view using a web browser. Additionally, we may send an email to the address you provided. Depending on your location, you might have the legal right to receive written notice of such a breach. To request a free written notice or to opt out of electronic notifications, please contact us at info@globalmetasurvey.com.

If you are accessing the Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with data protection laws different from those in the United States, please be aware that by providing your personal data, you are agreeing to have your data transferred to the United States, where data protection laws may be less strict than in your region. By sharing your information, you consent to the uses described in this Privacy Policy and to the transfer of your data to the U.S.

You acknowledge that U.S. laws may treat your personal information differently and with less protection than laws in other countries. If you do not want your information transferred to the U.S., you should avoid sharing your data with us or using the Site.

Where permitted by your local laws, you also waive any rights to require us to handle your personal data according to laws outside of the United States. However, this waiver may not be legally valid in some places, such as European Union member countries. If that is the case, this waiver does not apply to you.

Global Meta Survey reserves the right to update, change, add, or remove parts of this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will show a new "last updated" date at the top. Each time the policy is updated, you will need to actively agree to the new terms. If you do not accept the updated Privacy Policy, you will lose access to and the ability to use the Site.
