This privacy policy applies to opinions4good.com and *.opinionpl.us domains, which are owned and operated by Op4G (Opinions4Good). This privacy policy describes how Op4G collects and uses the personal information requested when creating a new account in the Opinions4Good web applications. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access, update, and delete this information at any time.

Security is the key to our shared success. Every element of the Opinions4Good user experience is designed to fiercely protect our members’ privacy and information.

And we are 100% transparent with our members about our policies, their data, and how to safely leave our programs.

Any survey data we collect from our members is delivered to our clients via pseudonymous data management. This means your name, email, and any other identifiable information on record will not be shared. Any exception to this must be approved by Op4G and consent must be willfully given by our members.
