We collect your personal data directly from you, for example when you register an account and answer our profiling questions.
In some of our profiling questions you can choose to share sensitive personal data (e.g. data about your health) with us. Answering these questions is optional and we will process the data you share with us only if you give your explicit consent .
Generally, you are free to choose if you want to provide your personal data to us. It is however in some instances necessary for you to provide personal data to us, e.g. to register an account. What exact personal data we require from you can be found in the tables below in relation to the legal bases “fulfilment of contract” and “legal obligation”. The data we require from you is never sensitive data.
If you don’t provide us with certain requested personal data, you will not be able to participate in the surveys or games we provide or create and use an account. Furthermore, we will not be able to comply with bookkeeping and accounting law and handle possible legal claims.
Your personal data is primarily processed by us at Ebuno. However, in certain instances, we share your personal data with third parties in accordance with below.

You also have a right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data. For example, when you question the accuracy of the personal data, when you have objected to our processing of your personal data based upon our legitimate interest, or where the processing is unlawful, and you oppose to the erasure of your personal data and instead want us to restrict our processing.

Your participation in a survey or other market research program is completely voluntary and Cint’s use of your Personal Data is carried out with your consent.
