Every Scrutiny Global process is designed from the ground up to meet GDPR, ESOMAR, and ISO 20252 requirements — protecting respondents and delivering legally compliant research.
All personal data processing complies with EU GDPR Article 5 principles. Data is collected with explicit informed consent, stored on EU-resident servers, and never sold to third parties. Respondents may exercise their rights of access, rectification, and erasure at any time.
Scrutiny Global is certified to ISO 20252:2012 — the international standard for market, opinion, and social research. This covers our sample management, fieldwork execution, data processing, and reporting workflows.
As a proud ESOMAR member, we have published full responses to all 37 ESOMAR questions. Our operational practices align with the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market, Opinion and Social Research.
Six core pillars that guarantee the security and privacy of all panel participants globally.
Every panelist provides explicit, double opt-in consent for each distinct study wave they enter.
We collect only the minimum demographic/firmographic details required for sampling validation.
Panel records are strictly restricted to non-commercial research use — never repurposed for sales.
Personal identifiers are completely stripped and anonymized in exported datasets post-delivery.
All datasets are encrypted using AES-256 at rest, with secure TLS 1.3 encryption in transit.
Opt-out and personal data deletion requests are processed automatically within 72 hours.
Our sampling nodes and survey database infrastructures are hosted on ISO 27001 certified cloud servers. We run continuous vulnerability scans and undergo annually scheduled external penetration testing.
Our administrative and system logs align with SOC 2 Type II security principles, ensuring absolute operational accountability for complex corporate audits.
