What is PermissionResearch?
PermissionResearch is part of an online market research community with over 2 million members worldwide. PermissionResearch relies on its members to gain valuable insight into Internet trends and behavior. In exchange for having their Internet browsing and purchasing activity monitored, members have access to free software downloads and a variety of other benefits. We DO NOT sell personal information; nor do members receive any advertisements as a result of their participation in PermissionResearch.

Why Become a Member?
Beside the free stuff available to members, PermissionResearch is in the business of improving the Internet...for everyone. The anonymous data we gather from our members helps us understand how people use the Internet; what they like, and what they don’t. This opt-in research is a mainstay of major media outlets and an asset for organizations trying to understand how people around the globe actually use the Internet.

Who Are We?
PermissionResearch operates an Internet research panel that supports one of the nation’s leading market research companies. Our goal is to help companies understand Internet trends and patterns. Just as the television industry uses rating services to determine which are the most watched programs — and to affect the shows and commercials that air — the Internet community relies on services like PermissionResearch to understand the likes and dislikes of Internet users to make informed business decisions. Because of this reliance, PermissionResearch panelists can actually influence the information and services that are available on the Internet, and the manner in which that information and those services are presented.

In order to participate in this research community, we ask that you download software on your computer. This software download contains two components. The first component consists of a screensaver or other software offering that is chosen by the PermissionResearch member. The second component consists of research software, which monitors the community member’s Internet activity, allowing PermissionResearch to develop an understanding of how they and the members of their household use the Internet. In addition, PermissionResearch may occasionally invite its members to participate in online surveys that are designed to help companies understand their attitudes and interests on a wide variety of topics not necessarily related to their Internet activities. Participation in these surveys is optional.

Member Internet usage information and survey results are used together with information from millions of other Internet research panel members to create research reports on Internet trends and e-commerce activities. These results are regularly quoted by leading news organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fox News, etc. Click here to see examples of the types of reports powered by PermissionResearch members.

In no event do our research reports contain your personal, identifiable information. Our reports provide analyses on commercial trends that help a wide variety of companies decide how to (i) modify their online services and offerings; (ii) make more effective use of online data to understand both online and offline consumer behavior; and (iii) discern general economic trends and the business performance of companies. Or simply put, your input helps improve the Internet for everyone. It’s anonymous, safe and easy.

Has anyone signed up with them?

Been with them over a year. Never a problem. Points have just been adding up until I get enough to cash out for what I want. It's going slower than I'd like but it's steady.

Opera crashes constantly for me. Too bad. I like it more than IE 7.
