  • To fix bugs and troubleshoot product functionality.
  • To investigate security issues.

For example: Your IP address is used to determine where an unknown/unauthorized access may have occurred in your account (abuse monitoring).

We process other aspects of your account information (like the personal information you provide about your job, your job title, and your marketing preferences) as well as information obtained from public sources, to provide you with a personalized experience and relevant and useful marketing information as well as to make other product, feature, and service recommendations to you and your organization to optimize the use of the services we offer (where permitted by law). You can object to us using your information as described above but in some cases, our ability to fully and properly provide our services to you may be impacted if you do not want us to collect or use the above data. Furthermore, if you are a Brain it Enterprise account holder, your organization controls some of the data that you include in your profile and they can also edit or remove that information through the primary administrator(s) of that account.

The end page is part of the Brain it website. We may include our own research surveys and polling on this end page. These surveys are optional for any Respondent to take or skip.

(i) De-identified Device Data.

We use aggregated or de-identified Device Data to extract usage patterns and to improve our services.

  • To enforce our agreements where applicable;
  • To investigate security issues;
  • To prevent or address potentially unlawful activities; and
  • To screen for and prevent undesirable or abusive activity. For example, we have automated systems that screen content for phishing activities, spam, and fraud under our Acceptable Uses Policy.

3.2 Respondent

We process Personal Data about you as a Respondent where:

  • We need to fulfill our contractual responsibility to deliver the services to the Creator of the survey;
  • We have a legitimate interest; and
  • We have a legal obligation.

(a) Contact information.

We only use contact information to respond to an inquiry on behalf of a Customer if you, as a Respondent, contact us.

(b) Cookies.

We use required cookies to ensure the operation of a Creator’s survey, form, application, or other Brain it product. These cookies are used to ensure that all aspects of the survey operate appropriately and optimally. For more information please read our Cookies section below and our Respondent Cookies Notice.

Examples: We use page tags to allow the email sender (for a survey or form, for example) to measure the performance of email messaging and to learn how to improve email deliverability and open rates. We also use cookies to ensure a respondent can only take a survey once (where the Creator has set this function) and to track completion rates of surveys. After completion of a survey, in most cases, you will be redirected to our website and treated as a website visitor where other cookies may be used so you should read our Website Visitor section if this is of interest to you.

(c) Device and browser data.

We use device data both to troubleshoot problems with our service and to make improvements to it. We use your device and browser data to provide our services to the Creator. For example, your IP address is used to ensure that you do not complete the same survey, form, application, or questionnaire twice if the creator has included settings to avoid this (ballot stuffing).

(d) Inferred geographic location.

We also may infer your geographic location based on your IP address. This allows Creators to filter responses by inferred geographic location. Note: we do not collect precise (GPS) location.

(e) Event data.

We use event data for many different business purposes, including the following:

  • To create and improve services, features, content, or make recommendations;
  • To track behavior at the aggregate/de-identified level to identify and understand trends in the various interactions with our services; and
  • To fix bugs and troubleshoot product functionality.
(f) Third parties and integration data.

We will collect and use information from third parties and integration partners to facilitate Creators in sending surveys/forms/applications/questionnaires to you.

(g) Survey response data.

Brain it may use first-party machine learning or third-party artificial intelligence tools on data around the type of survey the Creator has sent you, the question type, survey responses (at an aggregated and de-identified/pseudonymized level only), and device and event data associated with responses to fulfill our contract with Creators and provide Creators with useful and relevant insights from the data they have collected using our services. Specifically, we use machine learning on survey data to help Creators by:

  • Identifying trends in their responses;
  • Ongoing training of models to optimize responses;
  • Making product recommendations and providing guidance on which products and services work best in different scenarios;
  • Extracting and analyzing usage patterns, for example, we might identify when respondents prefer multiple choice versus open text questions and make predictive response suggestions when certain question types are selected. We might also use this data to help improve analysis of responses;
  • Undertaking personalization for survey Creators;
  • Improving user experience (for example, by collecting and using device and browser information from Respondents to improve how our survey service operates on those devices and in those browsers or by altering questions to match the responses being provided by a Respondent); and
  • Identifying insightful data trends (which do not disclose Personal Data) and making recommendations to Creators based on those trends.

A Creator has some controls over how we use responses and may have opted out of applying machine learning to responses where it is linked to a specific product feature in some cases.

3.2.2 Legitimate Interests

We collect and use all this data to help us improve our product so that questions are easier to answer and to help improve the completion rates on surveys/forms. We will also use information such as the type of survey, form, questionnaire, or application that you answered to personalize products we show you on completion of a survey and to understand trends in our service adoption.

(b) Responses (in aggregated and/or de-identified form).

To build new product features.

(c) Inferred geographic location.

We may infer your geographic location based on your IP address to produce aggregated data around Respondent location trends.

Note: we do not collect precise (GPS) location.

(d) Customer support information.

We may use information provided to our Customer Support, Customer Success, and Sales teams, such as name, email, and message content, to train machine learning models to better predict customer support question type, provide answers, generate insights about customer support trends, and improve our Customer Support for our Customers.

We or third-party data and advertising platforms that we work with may use or combine multiple technologies, such as non-required cookies, page tags, mobile identifiers, and IP addresses to infer users’ common identities across different services and multiple devices such as tablets, browsers, and mobile phones. We may do so to tailor ads to users, personalize marketing, enable us to determine the success of our advertising campaigns, and improve upon them. We use this data to personalize online marketing campaigns to be relevant to you and your interests in our services. You can withdraw your consent at any time on our Cookie Banner.

4.1 Information you share

Many of our services let you share information with others. Remember that when you share information publicly, it can be indexed by search engines. Our services provide you with different options for sharing and deleting your content, but we cannot delete content from search engines, so you need to be careful about information you make public.

4.2 Information we share

We do not share your information or data with third parties outside Brain it LLC except in the following limited circumstances:

(a) If you are a Creator that is part of a Brain it team plan or Brain it Enterprise plan, your account information and data will be shared with the primary administrator(s), and your survey data may also be visible to other members in your team with whom you share your surveys or with whom you collaborate. Your administrator(s) will be able to view your account data, change your passwords, suspend, transfer or terminate your account, or restrict your settings. Please refer to your organization’s internal policies if you have questions about this.

(b) If you are part of a Brain it Enterprise plan, your plan’s administrator(s) can transfer your survey questions and responses to, or share them with, other members in your team, including your plan’s administrator(s) themselves. Your plan’s administrator(s) can also delete your survey questions and responses. Your plan’s administrator(s) may also have the ability to make changes to any aspects of your survey questions and analysis. Please refer to your organization’s internal policies if you have questions about this.

(c) If your organization has purchased a Brain it Enterprise account and you are using an email address on a domain owned by your employer or organization linked to your individual account, you may be asked to migrate to the Brain it Enterprise Account and your email address, name, and account data will subsequently be visible to the primary administrator(s) for that account once you have been migrated. You may be notified in advance of this migration and given an opportunity to change the email address linked to your account if you are not using your account for business purposes.

(d) To help us provide certain aspects of our services we use our affiliates and trusted key partners – in particular, we engage third parties to:

  • Facilitate our collectors for sending surveys by email or text to Respondents. For email delivery, we use Mailchimp and for text/SMS services we use Twilio. We share the relevant contact information for respondents (email address or phone number as applicable) with these third parties.
  • Facilitate Creators in making payments.
  • Facilitate the delivery of certain features. For example, if you use the “Create a survey using AI” feature, we will send your survey prompts to our AI vendor. We recommend that you do not include Personal Data in these prompts, but if you do, they will be shared with the AI vendor.
  • Detect fraud (to include, for example, performing identity checks or verifying malicious IPs).
  • Deliver and help us track our marketing and advertising content.
  • Help us track website conversion success metrics.
  • Manage our sales and customer support services to you, including for resolving any disputes.

(e) We enter into confidentiality and data processing terms with partners to ensure they comply with high levels of confidentiality and best practices in privacy and security standards, and we regularly review these standards and practices. 

(f) On your instructions, we share your information or data if you choose to use an integration in conjunction with Brain it services, to the extent necessary to facilitate that use. See further information here on our API partners.

(g) We also may have to share information or data for the following purposes:

5. Data Retention

If you are a Creator, we generally do not delete the data in your account as long as your account is active – you are responsible for and control the time periods for which you retain this data. Here are some exceptions:

  • If you are a Brain it Basic (free) user on our platforms and you have not engaged with the service actively for some time, we reserve the right to delete your account and data in accordance with our data retention policy.
  • If you have exceeded your response limit as a Brain it Basic (free) account holder, we will delete the overages if you do not upgrade within a fixed timeframe.

We also encourage Creators to actively review their data retention practices in their account and take care to retain data only as long as is strictly necessary.

We also describe the expiry periods for cookies on our websites in our Cookies Notice.

6. Personalized marketing and cookies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies on our websites. For more information, see our Cookies Notice. For information about cookies used in our surveys, please see Cookies used on Survey Pages. If you are a customer of Brain it and separately use cookies or similar technologies in conjunction with any of our products and services, then you yourself will be responsible for complying with any laws related to the use of those technologies, and this Privacy Notice is not applicable to that use by you.

You can also choose to remove or disable cookies via your browser settings and, depending on your geographic location, you can withdraw consent to non-essential cookies using the in-product cookie preferences tool.

You can opt out of direct marketing in your account, and we provide opt-out options in all direct marketing emails. Finally, if you do not wish to see personalized marketing content on the web related to our service, you can clear the cookies in your browser settings. 

7. Security

We have a security statement available to view here. 

8. Safety of Minors

Our services (including creating and responding to surveys) are not intended for and may not be used by minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 16 (or under a higher age as provided in certain countries or territories). Brain it does not knowingly collect Personal Data from Minors or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected Personal Data from a Minor, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

9. Who is my data controller?

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an application, or provided website feedback to a Creator using Brain it LLC services, that Creator is the controller of your data, and Brain it is the processor of that data.

For Brain it Enterprise account holders, your organization’s primary administrator controls some basic account-level information which you input when setting up your account, such as name, email address, and profile photo. 

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an application, or provided website feedback directly to Brain it, then Brain it is the controller.

If you are a Creator and have received more responses than your plan allows (“overage data”), Brain it is the controller over the overage data until you change your plan type, or the overage data is deleted in accordance with our Terms of Use or per the terms of your negotiated contract.

Brain it is a controller for the account-level data provided by its Creators and panelists from Contribute and Rewards.

11. Your rights

You may wish to exercise a right to obtain information about yourself or to correct, update, or delete that information. Some of these rights may be subject to some exceptions or limitations in local law. Please note your rights and choices vary depending upon your location. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, and we will respond to your request to exercise these rights within a reasonable time.

11.2 Creator

Where you hold an account with any Brain it service, you are entitled to a copy of all Personal Data which we hold in relation to you. You can access a lot of your data in your own account when you log in. If you want to exercise your rights, please contact us.

Depending on your plan type, Brain it also enables you to export your own response data from our system.

11.3 Respondent

Where you have responded to a survey, form, questionnaire, or application sent to you by a Creator using a Brain it service, you will need to reach out directly to that individual or organization to discuss managing, deleting, accessing, restricting access to, or otherwise withdrawing consent for the use of the information which you provided to them in your responses.
