Your privacy and the security of your data are extremely important to us. All data that you supply is encrypted, securely stored, and treated as highly confidential.

- How will Ipsos MediaLink impact my device?
The app is designed to have minimum impact on your device and will work seamlessly alongside applications that you use regularly.

- What if I change my mind and want to stop sharing my data?
Data collection will end once the study is complete, but you can stop it at any time by uninstalling the app from your device. However, if you uninstall the app and exit the study before completion, this will prevent you from receiving the full participation reward.
