Make surveys more relevant*

To ensure surveys are as relevant as possible click on the 'Profile' tab once you have confirmed your email, and complete at least the Household profiling questions. If you don’t have kids for example, there is little point in us sending you surveys about kids!

There is no need complete all 100+ profiling questions and 10+ topics, just the Household are enough for us to work with initially. It will improve your Opinion Donor experience if you want to complete them all, but it is completely optional.

Refer to the 'Opinion Donor FAQs' on the other tab for details about how we handle personal data. In  summary, Opinionate collects profiling information simply to help send suitable surveys and does not share this information in an identifiable form with Wynnum Manly Sea Eagles or third parties.

We may share your first name and email with Wynnum Manly Sea Eagles so they can let you know the impact your opinion donations are having as an Opinion Donor. We do not share your personal data with other third-parties.

Neither Opinionate or Wynnum Manly Sea Eagles have access to responses you give in surveys unless specifically stated in the survey invitation.

How does the model translate into revenue?

We deliver survey invitations via email, online in your Opinion Donation portal, and via smart phone notification (for those who have downloaded 'Opinion App').

We display the estimated survey length in each survey invitation. You can choose to participate, or if the survey appears too long you can simply ignore the invitation (or decline it so you don't receive a reminder).

The length of each survey is based on the estimated time it would take an average person to answer. Some people might take less time, others may take more depending on your responses.

A survey session might take a little longer than the displayed survey length due to the routing process prior to entering the survey which is in place to make sure the survey is relevant to your profile.
