Introduction to Panelabs Privacy Policy
Panelabs.com is committed to full transparency in the processing of its users' personal information and to full protection of their privacy.
Our Privacy Policy, which is available on all our panel websites and online questionnaires, is intended to present to all of our users – members of our online panel (panellists) and non-member users – all the data we collect about them from these websites and questionnaires in accordance with the EU regulation 2016/679, "General Data Protection Regulation" (GDPR) of April 27th, 2016.
What is personal data?
Current regulations specify that personal data (PII, or "personally identifiable information") is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. In other words, a piece of data – whatever its nature – becomes a PII when a link can be made between this data and an individual (identified or identifiable).
There are two types of PII:
- Information that identifies an individual either directly (e.g. name and surname) or indirectly (e.g. website username); this information is considered "nominative";
- All other information qthat is not "nominative" and does not allow an individual to be identified, but is associated with "nominative" information enabling identification (e.g.: a comment that a user leaves on a site is not PII of that particular person but becomes so when the user is registered along with his username in a database; the latter frequently associating the comment with the user's email address, or first and last name).
There are many "nominative" details allowing an individual to be identified. Other than first and last name, the main PII are website usernames, email addresses, phone numbers or IP addresses. Sometimes, it may be a combination of several pieces of information that makes them "nominative" and hence permit identification, as for example date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY) combined with post code of residence.
Moreover, data collected from professionals (e.g. customers, prospects, suppliers, partners, etc.) are also considered PII for the purposes of GDPR if they relate to a physical person (an individual) and not to a legal person (a company).
In summary, only information that is completely anonymized and cannot be linked to an identified or identifiable individual – even indirectly from a username – cannot be considered PII.

Do you need to conduct an experimental study to test differents stimuli, scenarios, concepts or visuals administered to samples? To answer this need, we make questionnaires to form automatically and randomly identical respondent groups. We simultaneously expose stimuli (1 stimulus per group) to these groups. In this way, we avoid bias, and we guarantee a serene and efficient data processing.
A sample matching your search criteria We have 1,500,000 consumers available to answer your questionnaires Thanks to our consumer panel made of more than 1.5 million web users around the world, including 200,000 in the United Kingdom, we can collect data from the 'general population' sample as well as from targeted, specific samples. Only the panelists belonging to the targeted sample will have access to the questionnaire.
Data is carefully checked to ensure that it is reliable
Our project managers systematically perform data checks by looking at the answering times of
every respondent, the consistency of the responses given and the quality of open-ended
answers.
Do you think that some of the collected data is not reliable enough? Are you uncertain
about the credibility of some respondents?
No worries- we will re-launch the data collection, without any extra fees, to replace the data
you have rejected.
Ready to use data
At the end of the data collection, we will send you the raw data - coded and/or labelled -
in the Excel format, along with the coding plan to make your analysis easier.
We can also send you the data in the SPSS format, or even do the basic sorting and cross-sorting
in a Word document report.
