What happens to your data?
Trust starts with transparency. marketmind processes personal data exclusively for the defined purposes of "market research, opinion research and social research". In doing so, we comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Data Protection Act and recognised quality standards in our industry (particularly the ESOMAR guidelines).
And your answers? Personal information and study data (e.g. your responses within a study) are stored separately. Your answers are analysed anonymously, and clients receive only aggregated results. We store personal data locally at our Vienna office in a separate, encrypted system.
Have we contacted you?
Wondering why marketmind holds your data? If personal data (e.g. your name or contact details) are needed for a specific study, we use them exclusively for quality assurance. These data are deleted no later than three months after they are collected.
What does this mean for your answers? Your survey responses are processed separately from your personal data and analysed anonymously. This means your answers can never be linked back to you personally.
What is the legal basis for processing your data?
Different legal bases apply depending on the purpose. We rely on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Legitimate interests apply where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, provided these interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms requiring the protection of personal data.
For processing your data as part of registration with Ingress, the legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw it at any time if you no longer wish to participate. Your personal data will then be deleted in accordance with legal requirements, unless another legal basis requires further processing.
You have the right to access information about the processing of your personal data, to have inaccurate data rectified, to have data erased, to restrict processing, to data portability and, where the legal requirements are met, to object to processing. Further details are set out in Articles 15 to 21 GDPR.
