Auntie Index
Before you give us anything

What we collect and why.

Your name, email and an optional mobile number so we can reach you. Your age range, state and ZIP so we know the panel fits and can match regional studies. A reusable profile so we never ask the same background questions twice. Every question shows its reason beside it. Here is the consent you will be asked for, word for word.

Panel membership and contact

Required to join

Auntie Index keeps your profile and contacts you about studies that fit, by the method you chose.

More detail

We store your profile answers and contact details to match you to studies. You can update or delete them, and leave the panel, by one message. We do not sell your information. Reminders stop the moment you complete, decline or opt out.

Research participation

Required to join

When you accept a study, your answers can be used in research for Auntie Index clients, without your name unless that study says otherwise.

More detail

Client reports use your answers de-identified by default. Some methods, like live interviews, cannot be fully anonymous; that study’s invitation says so before you accept. Each study is its own decision.

AI-assisted processing

Please read

Auntie Index may use software, including AI tools, to transcribe and help organize responses. People make the research judgments.

More detail

Transcription and sorting may be done with software. Findings, quotes chosen for a client and payment validation are reviewed by a person. Your responses are not used to train public AI models.

Recording

Not asked today

Some studies record voice or video. Each one asks you separately, before you accept.

More detail

Nothing today grants recording rights. When a study records, its invitation says what is recorded, how it is stored and who hears it, and you consent for that study only.

Public use of your name, image, voice or quote

Not asked today

Never automatic. If a client wants to use something identifiable publicly, we ask you for that specific use. You can say no.

More detail

Research participation and public use are separate. A public-use request names the client, the material, where it would appear and for how long. Declining changes nothing about your panel membership.
