Spinter online panel rules

Online panel - is the group of respondents who use the internet. Each registered panellist receives an invitation to complete a questionnaire on a specific topic in their email inbox. Panel members have completed the registration form in advance and have voluntarily agreed to take part in Spinter online surveys.
It's an opportunity to make your voice heard, to influence market decisions, to adjust products and services that are being developed or have already been developed, and to improve the environment in which you live.
Spinter online participants are not obliged to take part in all surveys, they can choose whether they want to take part in a particular survey upon invitation.
Spinter tyrimai adheres strictly to the ESOMAR Code of Ethics for Researchers, respects the privacy of its respondents and ensures data security. All your personal data is processed accurately, securely and lawfully. "Spinter Research guarantees your confidentiality. All information relating to you is protected against accidental or targeted destruction, fraudulent use, disclosure or any other unauthorised interference.
Spinter online only processes information that you have voluntarily entered when registering or taking part in surveys. No additional information is collected about you.
Spinter online employees are subject to extremely strict confidentiality rules, so all information relating to you is carefully and professionally protected.
In many cases, the survey requires selection criteria that can only be ascertained once the respondent has started to fill in the questionnaire, the so-called initial screening questions. In this case, if (1) the respondent does not meet the selection criteria (e.g. does not buy a certain type of food/does not use a certain service, etc.) or (2) the response quotas for the relevant socio-demographic characteristics have already been filled, the respondent will not be asked any further questions and no points will be deducted.
If you do not wish to participate in the surveys, you can unsubscribe from the panel at any time. To do so, you need to log in to your account and select UPDATE PROFILE > CLOSE ACCOUNT.
You can become a member of Spinter online by filling in the registration form at www.spinter.lt or by clicking here. You will receive invitations to participate in the surveys in your email inbox when you sign up. For each survey you complete, you will be awarded a number of points (as indicated on the invitation) which you can then redeem for a gift voucher of your choice.
After completing the initial registration form, a personal account is created for you, where you can keep track of all the points you've accumulated and edit or update your personal information.
Your personal account includes a questionnaire where you can provide more information about yourself. The more information you provide, the more likely you are to receive invitations to participate in studies.

Technical support for the Spinter online panel is provided by the international research platform Cint (more www.cint.com), which gives us the opportunity to invite you to participate not only in local research, but also in the various international studies being carried out in Lithuania. In such cases, you may see the logo of an agency other than Spinter Research on the questionnaire. Even in such cases, the third party does not have access to your personal data, and you were invited to participate in the study because the system selected you according to the socio-demographic criteria you provided. Regardless of the research agency the questionnaire is administered by, the points for a fully completed questionnaire are always scored in the spinter online panel.
The answers you give in the questionnaires are not stored with your personal data and cannot be linked to your identity. Our customers only receive aggregated responses.
If you would like to know what information we have collected about you, you can always do so by providing us with proof of your identity.
For each questionnaire you complete, depending on the length and complexity of the questionnaire, your account will be topped up from €0.20 to €2.00. If you collect €10.00 or more, you can exchange your points for valuable gift vouchers.
No gift will be sent if the respondent cancels his/her membership after accumulating less than €10.00.
Once you've collected the required amount of money, you can exchange it for a gift voucher of your choice in your account.

Often, studies focus on a particular target group, such as higher-income urban dwellers or women with pre-school children. With as much information about you as possible, we will know whether you are eligible for the study and whether we can send you an invitation.
We ensure that your personal information is kept secure, is used only for research purposes and is never shared with third parties.
If you prefer, you can omit some of the information (not marked with asterisks), but you may receive fewer invitations to take part in the surveys.
Each invitation to take part in the survey will indicate the average time it will take to complete the survey, ranging from just a few minutes to 30 minutes. The most common is up to 15 minutes. The longer the survey, the more points you will receive.
You will be contacted by email when the survey you qualify for is completed. You will receive an email from spinter online in your email inbox with a link to the survey.
If you do not receive invitations to take part in surveys, it is likely that the study for which you are eligible is not currently ongoing.
In many cases, the survey requires selection criteria that can only be ascertained once the respondent has started to fill in the questionnaire, the so-called initial screening questions. In this case, if (1) the respondent does not meet the selection criteria (e.g. does not buy a certain type of food/does not use a certain service, etc.) or (2) the response quotas for respondents with the relevant socio-demographic characteristics have already been filled up, no further questions are asked and no points are given.

Respect each other - let's work together in good faith.
We sincerely hope that our respondents will participate honestly in the surveys. We pay great attention to the quality of our surveys, and therefore we regularly carry out a logical analysis of completed questionnaires. In the case of an apparently illogical completion, the questionnaire will be considered as unfairly filled in, undermining the quality of the whole study and will be removed from the data set for analysis. No points will be awarded for such questionnaires (or cancelled if automatically awarded).
In case of regular malicious completions, the respondent may be removed from the panel without prior warning.
