7. Description of the category or categories of data subject and of the data or categories of data relating to them

Generally, personal data of survey participants will not be passed on to the clients of our market research projects. Personal data provided during a survey will be used and processed by Psyma+Exevia Health GmbH for statistical purposes only. The survey results are anonymous and will be processed in their anonymized form.

Customers will receive access to personal data - if at all - only for legitimate research purposes. In this event, the family name, address, or phone number of the participants recruited for the study, or the originals of the recruitment from which personal data may be collected will not be disclosed to customers.

Furthermore, our customers are also obligated to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Any information of this kind that is passed on to our customers will be exclusively used for market and public opinion research purposes.

Personal data collected for secondary purposes will only be used by in-house departments and exclusively for executing the corresponding secondary purpose tasks.

External contractors (e.g., external moderators) may also be provided with personal data. These contractors will be bound to contract provisions that forbid the passing on of address data to third parties, any use beyond the particular purpose, e.g., interviewing, and that require these parties to delete them immediately afterwards.

If you provide us with your own or a third party’s personal data - or if third parties provide us with this information - we will never pass on or sell this data for commercial purposes. We use this data only for the above described purposes for which you provided it to us. Storage and use of the collected data is not subject to a time limit until you withdraw your consent. You may object to a further use/storage at any time.

 

8. Deletion of Data / Contacting Respondents

Personal data will be deleted after the discontinuation of the defined purpose and in accordance with the statutory deletion periods.

In the case of survey participants, this is usually the incentive program and/or the completion of the market research project plus a certain waiting period (e.g., for callbacks regarding the incentive processes).

 

9. Data privacy in relation to the website

Use of our website is generally possible without the need to give any personal information. In the case that any personal data needs to be gathered (for example name, address or e-mail address) this will be done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be given to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that data transfer via the interview (e.g. communication via e-mail) may have gaps in security. It is not possible to protect such data completely against access by third parties.

We process all personal data gathered during your visit to our website in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, in particular those of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/EU DSGVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG) and the German Teleservices Data Protection Act (Teledienstedatenschutzgesetz, TDDSG).
