Privacy policy

Version 2026-10-08. QPondr Inc, Dallas, Texas.

The short version: you answer quick chats, brands see the crowd's answers grouped together, and your name, number, email, and address never leave QPondr. We do not sell your personal information.

What we collect

When you join: your email, mobile number, first name if you give it, that you confirmed you are 18 or older, and that you agreed to receive chats. We also record the date, time, and version of the consent you gave.
If you finish your profile: only what you choose to add, such as mailing address, whether you rent or own, and household details like kids, pets, or work. Every one of these is optional.
When you answer a chat: your answers, and the time you answered.
Automatically: basic technical details like your browser type, and where you joined from (web, or a partner's QR code).

We do not ask for, and please do not send us, information about your race or ethnicity, religion, health, sexual orientation, citizenship, or biometrics. We never collect precise location.

How we use it

To send you quick chats from brands by text and email, and to deliver your gifts and coupons.
To pick which chats fit you, using the profile details you chose to share.
To run QPondr: keeping the panel honest, preventing duplicate accounts, fixing problems, and meeting our legal obligations.

What brands see

Brands that ask a question see the answers grouped together, for example "62% of people who answered picked the blue sweater." They never receive your name, phone number, email, address, or anything that identifies you. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Texts and emails

You get chats only because you ticked the box when you joined. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to stop texts, or use the unsubscribe link in any email. You can also ask us to remove you entirely.

Who else touches your data

Only the service providers we need to run QPondr, such as our hosting, storage, texting, and email providers. They work under contract and may only use your data to provide the service to us.

How long we keep it

While you are on the panel. If you leave, we delete your profile and contact details within 30 days, except where we have to keep a record for legal reasons, such as proof of the consent you gave.

Your choices and rights

See what we hold about you, correct it, or ask us to delete it.
Leave the panel at any time.
Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act you can also ask us to confirm whether we process your data and to receive a copy. We will answer within 45 days.

To exercise any of these, reply to any QPondr text or email with your request, or contact QPondr Inc in Dallas, Texas. We will confirm it is you before acting.

Age

QPondr is for adults. You must be 18 or older to join. If we learn that someone under 18 has joined, we remove them.

Security

We use encrypted connections and limit who can access panel data. No system is perfect, so please tell us right away if you think something is wrong with your account.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters to you, we will tell you by text or email before the change takes effect, and the version date at the top will update.
