About Us

Ipsos is a leading market research company focused on line research and data collection. Our experience with online research and our extensive experience of working with a wide range of clients enables us to provide creative solutions to our clients issues and questions. Some of the surveys are done using a panel made up of participants (hereafter called panel members) who answer questionnaires on the Internet by accessing the links that Ipsos sends to the members of the panel via e-mail.

In case the registering process within the panel is not successfully completed, your personal information will not be retained by us.
