From what we are asked to agree to before going forward, we are made to believe that our data are in safe hands, but how can we be sure.

They collect all those data and store it somewhere, someone is meant to handle it, what they do further is their prerogative. It may not be safe.

There are lots of paid surveys which are very safe and pay well, most of those who tell lies are those who are not from the required regions thereby accessing the website via vpns, the websites can try to use anti vpns to prevent such, those who are from the region may tell lies but not as widespread as those who are not, in summary, one cannot therefore, fully trust the authenticity of survey results and analysis.

I think before you answer an online survey, search the company first to be sure.

Finishing paid survey online is a simple method to make additional money as an afterthought. You're probably not going to get rich with the cash from study destinations, yet a significant number of them do offer genuine money, gift vouchers, and different advantages for the individuals who give bits of knowledge to their statistical surveying activities.

Completing paid surveys online is an easy way to make extra cash on the side. You're unlikely to get rich with the money from survey sites, but many of them do offer real cash, gift cards, and other perks for those who provide insights for their market research initiatives.

I suppose the majority of survey panels are safe until certain points: they have got our e-mail addresses and maybe a lot of spam we receive comes from advertising surveys companies partners (look, it's only an hypothesis).
About the mentioned lying and cheating: I can't support such a behaviour. If we don't match the surveys requirements, it's very better to look after online tasks that suit us (for ex. PTWs, that use to pay very much more than surveys). Cheating damages the statistics about new products to develop. And yes, cheaters get easily banned by panels.

Safe I what sense! Ooh. I'm not sure about that though even though what they tell u is your information is secured with them. But we don know what other things this information are used for. They told you its for record purpose and in some of the question u feel its just to gather data

 

[Pousinha]

Some users feel like this (companies collecting our data for free) when the panel doesn't pay our time (for ex., no disqualification nor partial completion points after tons of redirectionings and we have wasted 10, 15, 20 minutes in change of nothing -that's why since last year I have avoided all survey panels that don't recognise disqualification and partial completion points-).

If you lied with the information which you have provided on any survey website in order to earn money from them, why then are you being worried about the data that you provided if they are safe or not?

 

[Mawome]

Your data is safe in the sense that whatever you most online I mean in those sites is for publick consumption, even if you publisise your family problem on the website it's also assumed to be for the public, so use your tonge to count your teeth, and be wise at all the time.

 

[James07]

Yes, they are safe, but the tend to have a huge margin of error because the people doing them have been incentivized. But wit proper strategy for incentivizing the responded will help provide accurate data.

Your data are safe except if they ask for your credit card information then don't give them , because such survey sites might be from scammers

I wonder how true it is to assure us that our data is safe with them when they can easily divulge it to a third party without our knowledge. I usually try as much as possible to be sincere with my responses to surveys.

That's true, some just go ahead to fill in information that doesn't represent their profile at all in order to earn. That happens because surveys operate on a gutted way.

 

[AlexandruCrudu]

It is possible, I earned a lot from surveys and with not too much effory

 

[Victor001]

Paid surveys are not totally safe, because the audience are not really targetted, and i will say to some extent the survey site caused it, imagine doing a survey for 1 hour and you end up gaining less.

This is the more reason why many online survey panels are taking very stringent measures to keep Africans away from their program. It is quite understandable that most survey are not relevant for Africans bit people still want to make money somehow, the reason for many falsifying information in many online survey.

Yeah i think they should do more surveys to favor the africans ,because some of those people hardly gives survey and this makes people look into falsifying

There is nothing bad about surveys, they are 200% safe as long as they are offering services in your country, you can easily earn money online from it.
