SIMAR privacy policy

The Association of Market and Public Opinion Research Agencies is a non-profit organisation that supports, promotes and enriches market research, public opinion research, sociological research and data analytics. More information about SIMAR can be found here.

We obtained your contact details through your SIMAR membership, through co-operation with SIMAR, at one of our events, through a personal meeting, in the course of our correspondence about market and public opinion research, or through your interest in our newsletters.

From time to time we will write to you about news and training, or include you in our industry research:

• news and trends in market research — the monthly research DJ and information about the research industry, such as the annual research report
• information about training events — upcoming and past seminars that SIMAR organises or partners
• polls and research surveys about your view of the state of the research market

SIMAR members and partners also receive communications related to SIMAR membership and the association’s activities, and information arising from our co-operation with ESOMAR.

What personal data we process

First name, surname, company and job title, e-mail address and telephone number, and other organisational details if you register for our seminars. We take photographs at SIMAR events and record video of the presentations, which we publish on the SIMAR website and use to promote the association’s work and the industry. To measure how effective our communication is we use statistical and analytical tools (such as Google Analytics).

We keep personal data for the duration of your SIMAR membership or of our co-operation. If you are interested in news from the industry, you will keep receiving it for as long as you wish.

Your rights

At your request we will delete or anonymise your personal data so that it no longer identifies you, unless we are entitled or obliged by law to keep certain data — for instance in connection with tax and accounting duties.

You can unsubscribe from our mailing list by filling in the short form in the body of the e-mail, or by writing to simar@simar.cz with your contact e-mail address and name. We will also help you at that address if you need to change your contact details.

Who we share personal data with

Personal data is processed by the SIMAR team when preparing communications; we use an e-mail tool and the database is stored on a password-protected computer. We provide the organisers of joint training events with a list of participants and presenters (first name, surname, company).
