PREDIQT – PRIVACY POLICY
By utilizing the Prediqt app (the “Prediqt App” or “App”), you agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions set forth below (the “Terms of Use” or “Agreement”). The terms “you” and “User” refer to anyone who accesses the Prediqt app.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PRIVACY
The Prediqt app is a survey and opinion collection application, so if you join our panel we will ask and collect the information you’ll provide us. Such information may include your name, e-mail address, user name, and password. In addition, the app collects some information about your mobile phone automatically, such as the type of mobile device you use and the device’s unique ID and IP address.
If you agree to share your geographic location, your phone will notify us when you visit key locations, so we can send you location-specific surveys. You can stop the data collection process by deleting the app, or you can stop geographic survey feature by disabling location alerts.
The data collected for this app is for market research purposes only and is not used to market anything directly to you.
I. TERMS OF USE
Subject to applicable laws and regulations, Prediqt (Prediqt) may change these Terms of Use at any time without notice.
Changes will be posted on the Prediqt App and/or sent to you via email and such changes shall be effective immediately. You agree to review the App periodically to be aware of any such amendments. Your continued use of the App after such amendments have been made shall constitute acceptance of the amendments.
If any of these changes are unacceptable, you are not authorized to access the Prediqt App and should delete the App from your device.
1) ELIGIBILITY
Accounts in the Prediqt App are limited to individuals only. Corporations and other business entities are not eligible.
Use of automated services or machines is not permitted.
Use of the App requires you to establish an account and is limited to one (1) account per person, even if the individual has multiple e-mail addresses.
Users must be at least 13 years old. Users must be 13 years of age or older to use the Prediqt App. By using the Prediqt App you represent that you are 13 or older. If Prediqt discovers that a user under 13 years of age has created an account, or that a user or visitor under 13 years of age has posted personally identifiable information or other content to the Prediqt App, Prediqt will terminate the account and remove the information or other content.
Users between 13 and 18 need permission from a parent or guardian. Users between 13 and 18 years of age may utilize the Prediqt App with parent or guardian’s approval.
2) MEMBER REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
As part of the registration process, you must provide Prediqt with accurate, complete, and updated information, including your first name, last name, and a valid email address. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of your access to the app and forfeiture of incentive payments. Please see our Privacy Policy & Cookie Notice for information regarding how this information will be used and maintained.
As part of the registration process you must select a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password used to log into the Prediqt App and you accept responsibility for all activities, charges and damages that occur in relation to your account. You shall promptly contact Prediqt if you believe there has been unauthorized use of your account.

Not all surveys will include incentives and you are not required to participate in any survey.
You will receive the incentive only for completed and submitted surveys unless the survey invitation stipulates otherwise.
If you begin, then save a survey to complete at a later time or date, you acknowledge that survey respondent quotas may fill up, resulting in the survey being closed and preventing you from being able to complete the survey. You will not be entitled to any incentive if a survey closes before you submit the completed survey.
5) REDEEMING INCENTIVES
Cash Incentives. For surveys with cash incentives, you are not entitled to receive payment of any such cash rewards until your account reaches a minimum balance of $5.00 US.
Cash incentives are paid through PayPal only.

Prediqt App incentives and accounts may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold.
Your Prediqt App account may not be merged with the account of any other Member under any circumstances.
Prediqt reserves the right to change the incentive program to include different types of awards other than cash, such as an award points system. In the event that the incentive program is changed from cash to a points system, you will be given equal value in points for the existing balance in your account.

II. PRIVACY POLICY AND COOKIE NOTICE
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 17, 2019.
This Privacy Policy lets you know how we collect, use, and share the personal information that you provide to us through our consumer survey website and mobile application (“app”) that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Platform”).
The Platform offers you the ability to respond to surveys that we conduct on behalf of our business partners (“Partners”). We may offer you incentives in exchange for your survey participation. Partners typically use these surveys to conduct and improve their products, services, and advertising.
From time to time, we may permit selected third parties to send offers on our Platform for additional survey opportunities from those third parties. If you decide to participate in such additional opportunities, your participation in those third-party surveys will be outside our Platform and will not be governed by this Privacy Policy.
1) Information Collection
We collect personal information that you provide to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, and zip code. We collect this information, for example, when you register for one of our survey panels. We may also obtain personal and other information about you from third parties and combine it with the information that you provide to us.
If you use our Facebook log-in tool, we may collect the information you choose to make publicly available through your Facebook profile such as your name, date of birth, email address, and residence location. You can control what specific information is made public through your use of your Facebook privacy settings.
You may also choose to provide us with your online payment information, such as PayPal account information, in order to credit incentives to you.
If you register for one of our survey panels, we may collect demographic and other information you provide to help us send you relevant surveys and for other purposes. When you register for a panel or otherwise participate in a survey, we will collect any information and responses that you provide in the course of the survey. For some surveys, this may include photo, audio, and video information that you may submit through the Platform. If you choose to participate in the TrackCash Weekly program, we will collect additional information as described below.
We may also collect information automatically, such as your Internet domain and IP address, identifiers associated with your mobile device, type of browser and operating system, other apps installed on your device, the streaming video services that you use (including the content you choose to watch), and the date and time of your visit or when you download our app. Additionally, as further described below, we may collect the precise location of your device, with your permission.
Partners that use our survey services may also provide us with certain device information to enable our Platform and our services to them, such as device identifiers.
We may combine any information that we collect, including device information, usage data (described below), location data, and survey responses, with the personal information that you choose to provide to us.
If you no longer want us to collect information from you, you can stop responding to surveys and uninstall the app. We may continue to use and share the information that you previously provided, as described in this Privacy Policy.

We use session and persistent cookies, and other similar technologies, to make it easier for you to navigate our Platform, to provide a better experience for survey participants, and for quality control and validation purposes. You may be able to disable and/or delete cookies via your browser and/or plug-in settings; however, this may: (1) decrease the functionality of the websites you visit; (2) limit your ability to use and view our services; and (3) limit your participation in the Platform, including incentivized surveys.

On the Platform, we may use analytics services provided by third parties. These service providers may use cookies or other technologies to collect information about your online activities across the Platform and other sites and apps over time for analytics purposes.
3) Geographic Location Information
If permitted on your device, we may collect and use your precise location information obtained by our mobile app, to provide you with geographically focused survey opportunities from us and our Partners and to maintain and improve our Platform. We may also permit selected third parties to collect and use your precise location data through our app in order to send offers on our Platform for additional survey opportunities from those third parties. You will receive prior notice and must give your consent before your geographic location is collected through our mobile app. (In the event that you share your device with another person, please be aware that this person could change these permissions on your behalf.) If you do not want to provide your location through our app, please use the settings available on your mobile device to limit this sharing.
4) Information Use
We use the information we gather to offer and improve the Platform and our business, including to administer surveys and provide results to our Partners, to learn about the number and geographic location of people who use our apps and the technology used, to assist in developing changes to our Platform, to offer more relevant surveys to you, and to detect and prevent fraud, as well as for business planning purposes. As part of the Platform, we may send you push notifications as permitted by your settings.
We retain your registration information over time in order to provide the Platform to you, including to offer you additional survey opportunities for Partners or for our internal research. If you participate in our surveys, the survey responses that you provide will be used only for market research purposes for Partners to conduct and improve their products, services, and advertising. We will not use or share your responses for direct marketing.
5) Information Sharing
We will not make your personal information available to other, non-affiliated organizations or companies without your permission except as set forth herein.
We may disclose your personal information as follows:
when we have your permission to do so, including when you give your permission for a specific Partner to contact you for follow-up research purposes;
to our affiliates;
to service providers that help us provide the Platform and otherwise operate our business;
to selected third parties when they send offers on our Platform for additional survey opportunities from those third parties;
when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, pursuant to a court order, subpoena, warrant, or in response to a government inquiry;
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the law or our rights or interfering with (either intentionally or unintentionally) use of our apps or services;
in connection with a sale of stock or assets, merger, or any other change of control transaction, or in the case of a bulk or partial sale, or other transfer (including third party panelist administration) of information to another research organization / end user.
We do not provide information to Partners that identifies you as an individual (such as a name or email address) unless you give permission for us to do so, but Partners may be able to link the identifiers that we provide to personal information that they have about you from other sources. We may share other information with our Partners to provide them with our services or for their own research purposes. Typically, this information may include survey responses, geolocation information, and/or demographic information associated with unique identifiers such as hashed email addresses, device identifiers, or other alphanumeric identifiers used for internal purposes. If you participate in the TrackCash Weekly program, data collected through that program will be shared with Partners. We may also provide Partners or other third parties with aggregate reports that include combined demographic or other survey data. Partners may use and share the information that we provide consistent with their own privacy policies.
We may share and disclose information that is de-identified or otherwise does not specifically identify you or your device, in our discretion.
7) Third-Party Links
Our Platform may provide links to third-party websites or apps including offers and links to additional survey opportunities on third-party platforms.

You should review the privacy policies of other websites or apps to learn about their data practices.

You can ask us to delete your personal information from our active files by emailing us at help@prediqt.co . We may still retain some personal information as needed for legal and recordkeeping purposes.

In all other cases, we will retain information as long as required by law or as long as needed for our business purposes.
10) Children under 13
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13 on the Platform.

If you are using our Platform from other locations outside the United States, please note that by providing your information to us, you are agreeing to the transfer of your information to, and the collection and processing of such information in, the United States.
