Account and profile. Name, email, password (hashed), country or region, and other details you provide when registering or completing profile or prescreen questionnaires.

Support and communications. Messages you send us, feedback, and metadata associated with support tickets.
Technical data. Log files, cookies, and similar technologies as described in Section 6.

3. Legal bases (where applicable)
If the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on appropriate bases such as performance of a contract (providing the Service), legitimate interests (security, product improvement, and fraud prevention, balanced against your rights), consent where required (e.g. certain cookies or marketing), and legal obligation.
4. Sharing of information
We may share information with:
- Research clients and partners who field studies, subject to contracts and, where promised, aggregated or limited identifiers as appropriate for the project.

5. Retention
We retain information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Research datasets may be retained in line with client contracts and industry practice; we apply minimization and access controls where feasible.
7. Security
We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we encourage strong passwords and caution when sharing links.
8. International transfers
We may process information in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data across borders, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required by applicable law.
