How Long We Keep Your Information

我們會保存您的資料多久？
 

How long we keep your information will depend on the purpose for which we use it. While you are a user of the Panel, we will only retain your information for as long as is necessary for those purposes.

If you decide to delete your Panel account, your data will be held in aggregate format for research purposes ONLY to allow for tracking long term trends in consumer behaviour. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. That is, no names, addresses or telephone numbers are attached to any answers, but instead answers are provided as counts and percentages.

We review the Panel every 6 months and remove non-active members. You will be contacted by us beforehand to make you aware of any inactivity on your Panel account. Any member data in relation to the Panel held thereafter will also be in aggregate format for research purposes ONLY to allow for tracking long term trends in consumer behaviour.

我們保存您的資料時間多久，取決於我們使用資料的目的。當您是Panel的用戶時，我們只會在需要達到這些目的的時間內保留您的資料。
 
如您決定刪除您的Panel帳戶，您的數據將以匯總形式保存，並僅用於研究目的，以便追蹤消費者行為的長期趨勢。匯總數據可能來自於您的個人數據，但在法律上不被視為個人數據，原因是這些數據不會直接或間接透露您的身分。也就是說，任何答案都不會附加姓名、地址或電話號碼，但會以數字和百分比形式顯示。
 
我們每 6 個月審查Panel一次，並會刪除不活躍的會員。我們會提前與您聯絡，以便您知道你的Panel帳戶不活躍。此後Panel保存任何有關聯的會員數據也將採用匯總形式，僅用於研究目的，以便追蹤消費者行為的長期趨勢。
