Commitment

Toluna UK Ltd of Power House, Harrison Close, Knowlhill, Milton Keynes, MK5 8PA ("Toluna") is an online data collection company focused on providing high quality data to the full-service marketing research industry, advertising agencies and consultancies. Toluna builds and maintains large online consumer panels and operates the LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES on behalf of V. MANE FILS, 620, route de Grasse – 06620 Le Bar-sur-Loup France. V. MANE FILS ("we", "us", "our") is the "data controller" in respect of all personal data collected and used on this site and the LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES. We take your privacy seriously and have developed this Privacy Policy to explain what data we collect from our users ("you", "your"), account holders and panellists and how we use and share this information.

You can be assured your privacy and the confidentiality of your information is our number one priority. All of the data that Toluna collects in our research studies report is aggregate information, that is, information about groups - not individuals. Individual information is never reviewed or published without your consent, as it is irrelevant to the research conducted by our clients. All individual information provided is held confidential in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

The information we gather

We gather personal information when an individual registers to become a member of our panels. Your participation in any of our panels and surveys is voluntary. After registration we ask panel members to provide us with more personal information so that we may invite them to appropriate surveys. To become a LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES member, we ask that you fill out a registration survey that gathers some personal and general consumer information. We ask for your email address so that we can send you email invitations to participate in our upcoming surveys and subject to the preferences you expressed when registering, to send you newsletters to make you aware of new features or contests running on the site. The other information we gather, such as your name, address, gender, and birthday is for matching you with the appropriate marketing research projects. Your birthday is used to automatically update your age for us to target age-related marketing groups. We ask you for this information as a means to see if you might qualify for particular projects. All email contact from LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES will be sent to your primary email address that you gave to us upon registration. If you become a LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES member, your information (name, address, city, state, and zip or postcode) is also used for the purposes of incentive fulfillment. When incentive points are deposited in your account and you wish to redeem them or you are determined as the winner of a physical gift card in a sweepstakes, this information is required so that we may send your reward to the appropriate recipient address. From time to time, a third party may be used for issuing cheques or processing the delivery of rewards.

You should be aware that any personal information you choose to make public on the site, in the Community area (as an opinion or topic in a message board or live chat or any other public area or forum) can be read, collected, or used by other users and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit or make public in this way. In addition, we are not responsible for the content you publicly post on the site that can be found via web-based search engines. To request removal of your personal information from our blog or community forum, contact us at contact@listentoyoursenses.com. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

We display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our site in addition to other endorsements. With your consent we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us at contact@listentoyoursenses.com.

Use of this information

We do not sell or share the personal information collected on this site. Information which is personally identifiable will only be transferred with your prior permission on a case by case basis, except for the narrow exceptions specified below. If you are a member of the LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES panel, your information is stored in our proprietary database so we may call upon it to determine which people match up with specific research studies. If we think your profile makes you a potential candidate for a study, we will email you an invitation to make you aware of this opportunity. From time to time we may use third-party software for email list management and email distribution, or may use third party list management providers to match the members of our panel to members of other lists or panels, or to validate accuracy of personal information you provide. We may use third parties to provide us with data they have collected about you, and append this data to your demographic profile. In such cases only a minimum amount of information is transferred to these third parties so as to enable them to perform specific functions on our behalf. We also may share your information with our service providers, such as to provide prizes you have won or other incentives for your participation in our panels.

Your information may be transferred to other countries in the European Economic Area. All such transfers shall solely be made in accordance with applicable law.

Sharing

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose your personal information when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or a court order or if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Toluna site terms, or as otherwise required by law. We may also disclose your personal information to third parties where it has your express permission to do so, or where it can reasonably be inferred from the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to the third parties.

If in the future you change your mind about participating in the application program, please contact: contact@listentoyoursenses.com.
