Privacy Policy

Overview

Valuser ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at [valuser.co]. We connect everyday people with paid survey, focus group, and research opportunities. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.

By creating an account or using Valuser, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

What we collect

We collect information in two ways — what you give us directly and what we gather automatically.

Information you provide:

• Account information — your email address and password when you register
• Profile information — your first and last name, street address, city, and state
• Background information — your age range, employment status, and job title

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages you visit, links you click, time spent on the site
• Device information — browser type, operating system, and general location derived from your IP address
• Cookies — small files stored on your device that help the site function and help us understand how people use it

How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

• To create and manage your Valuser account
• To match you with surveys, focus groups, and research opportunities relevant to your profile
• To send you emails about new opportunities, site updates, and relevant announcements
• To improve the site experience based on how people use it
• To comply with legal obligations if required

We will never use your information for any purpose not listed here without first notifying you and giving you the choice to opt out.

Affiliate links

Valuser earns a commission when you sign up for or complete surveys and studies through links on our site. This is how we keep Valuser free for participants. The platforms we link to have their own privacy policies and data practices, which we encourage you to review before signing up.

Our affiliate relationships never influence which opportunities we list or how we describe them. We list opportunities we believe are legitimate and fairly compensated, regardless of commission rate.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Valuser. This helps us improve the site over time. The data collected through analytics is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that some site features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal information. Period.

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — companies that help us operate the site, such as hosting and email providers, who are contractually required to protect your data
• Legal requirements — if we are required by law or a valid legal process to disclose information
• Business transfer — if Valuser is ever acquired or merged, your data may transfer as part of that transaction, and you will be notified in advance

Your rights

You have the following rights over your personal information at any time:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction — request that we correct inaccurate information
• Deletion — request that we delete your account and associated data
• Opt out of emails — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email we send

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

Data security

We take the security of your information seriously. We use industry-standard measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential. Please notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.

Children

Valuser is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has created an account, we will delete that account and its associated data promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify registered users by email. Your continued use of Valuser after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
