Data collected from a user / customer - For the personal data we collect about you as a user of our services, including your personal information if you are an account holder using our services, Resultal is the data controller for the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 ( ‘GDPR’).

It does not apply to data that you upload or input in the course of using our web/cloud-based tools. That data is governed by our Terms of Use.

Data collected from a Participant / Respondent (or Data Study Subject) - Resultal collects study data on behalf of our customers and the data controller of the study data is our customer who invites respondents to participate in studies. When respondents are invited to participate in a study you should contact our customer if you have any questions about their survey, or to exercise your rights in relation to the study data. Our customers determine how they design their studies, what information they will collect and what they will use it for, information you can find in study information and informed consent. Before attending a study, please review their study and (possible) privacy information, and informed consent to understand how your information will be used. All responses should be kept strictly confidential and anonymous.

We will only use it for limited purposes including protecting the security of our services and to respond to you if you contact us directly. We will not use your contact information only for providing you access to your data.

Data storage


We will keep your details on record for so long as you have a registered account with Resultal, or for as long as is needed to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
Study Data - You are in control of the management of your study data and can delete it from our online systems or download it to your own systems at any time. Please refer to our policy for the specific period for which we retain your survey data when we cease providing you with our products and services and for how long your survey data remains in our backups before being permanently deleted.

If you would like to close your registered account, you can do so via the site. When you close your account, subscription usage and financial records are kept as part of our usage records, but personal identifying information will be deleted from your account, and your account data is pseudonymised/anonymised to form part of our aggregated statistics.

Research data will be stored for as long you have a registered account. All data processed by our services is stored anonymized and aggregated for 5 years. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Transfer and use of data


Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside Netherlands and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to the Netherlands and process it there.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Resultal will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information. If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area ('EEA') we will protect your personal information when it is transferred outside of the EEA by:
- Processing it in a territory which the European Commission has determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal information; or
- Otherwise implementing appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including through the use of standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission.

As we hold the data on secure servers within the European Economic Area ('EEA'), for now based in The Netherlands, certain transfers of personal information to third party recipients take place, as explained above.

Please be aware that such recipients of your personal information (as set out in this notice), may not be located within the EEA but instead located in countries which do not have equivalent protection for personal information to that within the EEA.

Where we transfer your information outside the EEA we will either undertake an assessment of the level of protection in light of the circumstances surrounding the transfer or:
- Only transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA; or
- Ensure we have an agreement in place with the recipient under which they are under a duty to protect your data to the same standards as those in place in the EEA; or
- Transfer it to US organizations that are signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme; or
- We will make sure that any transfers are not repetitive and only limited to the minimum amount of information possible. In certain circumstances we may need to seek your consent unless there is an overriding legal need to transfer the information; and
- In all cases where your information is transferred outside the EEA, you have a right to contact us for information on the measures we have put in place.

Resultal can never be held responsible and/or liable for any damages caused by using our services. Once data is copied or downloaded from the site, the user is responsible for the data.

Legal Requirements
- Resultal may disclose your personal data if such action is necessary to:

- To protect against legal liability.

We may disclose specific information upon lawful request by government authorities, law enforcement and regulatory authorities where required or permitted by law and for tax or other purposes. Personal information may also be released to external parties in response to legal process, and when required to comply with laws, or to enforce our agreements, corporate policies, and terms of use, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Resultal, our employees, agents, site users and other parties, as well as to parties to whom you authorise Resultal to release your personal information.

Security of data


The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. While we take efforts to safeguard your personal information which are consistent with relevant laws, the nature of the internet is such that we cannot guarantee absolutely the security of any personal information you disclose online.

Resultal personnel and service providers with access to personal information collected through our website are required to keep such information confidential and secure.

Access of data


You can request Resultal for the personal information we hold, normally free of charge, under data protection legislation.
