The Living Room panel and QuMind ensure that the personal details you provide on the registration survey (including your name and email address and other personal details) are held in a secure database with limited access rights.

Any information you provide, either on the registration survey or in subsequent surveys, will be treated as confidential and used as set out in the Privacy Policy.

Intellectual Property

You represent and warrant that any information you provide will not contain material subject to copyright or other proprietary rights, unless you have necessary permission.

We may use any information you provide (excluding any personal information) through participating in The Living Room panel without charge or limitation. You agree to assign any Intellectual Property Rights in the information at the time it is first provided to The Living Room panel. You shall not acquire in any way any title, rights of ownership, or Intellectual Property Rights of whatever nature through your participation in the Living Room panel.

Data Protection

We aim to be transparent and clear at all times and keep your information safe. Please see our Privacy Policy here for more information about how your personal data will be used. By using the Living Room panel, you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate and up- to-date.

Cookies

Cookies are used for validation and to prevent bothersome repeat surveying. Please see below and QuMind's Cookie Policy for full details. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being placed on your computer. You can also delete cookies by adjusting your browser settings.

The Living Room panel mostly uses session cookies that expire as soon as you close your Internet Browser. We only use persistent cookies to maintain the state of your questionnaire should you browse away from a survey and wish to continue where you left off. This cookie is in no way used for tracking or holding personal information and will be deleted at the end of the questionnaire or 1 day after the start of the questionnaire. We also use a cookie to keep you logged on to the the Living Room website, to save you having to log in over and over again.
