If you sign up for the panel, we’ll collect:
- your name
- email address
- which of our services you have used or applied for.
We may later ask you to provide additional details, such as what region of the country you live in or your gender.
From time to time, we may contact you by email to see if you would like to take part in research with us. At that time we would provide you with full details of the research and what you would be asked to do. You can then decide if you would like to participate in that piece of research or not.
We won’t contact you more than a few times per month. Where possible, we’ll update you on findings from our research.
