2.7 Survey Demographic Information

Survey partners match people to surveys based on demographics. If you choose to take surveys on Earnopolis, we ask you to fill out a short survey profile first. This is optional. You only need it to access surveys, and you can use the rest of Earnopolis, including offers, games, and videos, without it.

The survey profile may include:

• Date of birth
• Gender
• Postal or ZIP code
• Household income range
• Education level
• Employment status
• Marital status
• Household size
• Number of children
• Home ownership

We do not ask for special-category information such as race, ethnicity, religion, health, or political views as part of your survey profile. You must be 18 or older to take surveys.

Your survey profile is stored separately, with restricted access, and is encrypted at rest like all data on Earnopolis. Our team cannot browse it, and your answers are not shown back to you or our staff after you submit them.
