Privacy

This privacy policy sets out our privacy practices for this website and how your personal information will be treated by us.

This privacy policy was last updated on 15 April 2023.

What we do

We allow "Contributors" - who we call "Thinkers" - to upload videos of how they experience products and services. This is in order to help the organisations who provide those products and services (our clients) to better understand their customers. These clients may use the videos in any way they choose for internal purposes only or privately with their suppliers or retailers (please see the Terms & Conditions for more information).

Information Gathered and Usage

To set up a Watch Me Think account we will, as a minimum, collect your name, the country you currently live in, your year of birth & gender (in market research such things are very important) and email address. We’ll also need your paypal account ID in order to pay you. All email contact will come from @WatchMeThink.com addresses.

We do not pass on your personal information to anyone else.

We use your personal information:

The additional information we ask for is optional. This includes things such as your post code/zip, household income, living arrangements etc.

If this additional information is provided, we can invite you to take part in specific briefs where the client has requested a more detailed profile of those taking part. While adding this additional information is optional, the more information you provide, the more opportunity there is for you to earn money.

You can update your personal profile information on your profile page at anytime.

The video "content" that you upload on the site will be seen by our clients on a password protected site. It is never placed on external sites unless your permission is expressly given via direct and personal contact with us. You are too important for us to do anything that would obviously make you angry :-)

Please note that if you give out or show personal information in your videos, it is done so at your own risk.

Globally

Our clients are located in many different countries. We constantly endeavour to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that all our clients do not breach Australian Privacy Legislation (where the company was originally founded) in relation to your personal information, wherever this is possible. We additionally insist that our clients do not publish any of your videos in any public website or forum without our (and your) permission.

Additionally - while working for Watch Me Think is contracted “work made for hire”, we voluntarily follow, where appropriate, the principles as set out in the European General Data Protection Regulation, where they do not negatively impact the Terms & Conditions or Lawful Basis of the work we pay you for.

Terminating Accounts

You can close your account at anytime by logging in and doing so via your account settings. On request, all the personally identifiable text stored by us in our application can, at any time, be pseudo anonymised. Any videos that you have made and have been paid for will be deleted after 5 years if they are no longer needed/used.

System Data

When you visit our site we automatically log your IP address which identifies your computer's access point to the internet. We use IP addresses to help us administer the site and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.

Security

Data provided through this site will be transferred between countries, mainly Australia, the UK and the USA. This is because the technologies we use may be hosted outside of these territories.
