MyView is a panel of Australians from all over the country who participate in surveys. MyView is managed by I-View, a division of IPSOS SA, one of the ten largest research firms in the world. Our clients want to know what you think about their products and services and how they can make them better. They also want to know your ideas on current events and social issues.

To become a member you only need to fill out our membership survey. The survey asks questions about who you are and what you like to do. We use your information to determine which future surveys you might want to participate in. Click here to become a member of the MyView panel.

Absolutely not. Membership is completely FREE. We use the term member because once you register with us, you become a part of the MyView community. The community is a special group of people who are invited to participate in market and social research surveys.

As a MyView member you are able to provide your feedback and opinions on a wide variety of topics. Some of our surveys offer the chance to see new products or services from companies before the general public does. Our clients are some of the world's largest computer, consumer goods, automotive, food manufacturers and web based companies. A few of our surveys will also provide you with information about how other people in your age group or career feel about the same issues.

From April 2009 we are rewarding our members by awarding dollars to everyone who participates in a study. The number of dollars you receive depends on whether you have qualified to do our survey, as well as the length of the survey we have asked you to complete. If you are invited to participate in a survey, but do not qualify, you will be awarded with $0.50. If you qualify and complete a survey up to 10 minutes in length (approximately 30 questions) you will receive $1.00. For a survey 11-20 minutes, you will receive $2.00; 21 to 30 minutes, $3.00 and so on in blocks of ten minutes.

The information we gather during registration helps us to select people for our surveys. For example, if we do a survey for a large computer game developer, we might use state and age information to find MyView members who live in New South Wales, who are 18-23 and like to play computer games. Your information is used to help us target the right people for the survey. The information is also used to help our clients understand the demographic characteristics of those who complete their survey. For example, if we do a survey for a large pet food supplier, we can give them information such as the percentage of female dog owners with an income between $30-50,000 who live in Victoria and who are most likely to purchase their product.

NO! We will never give anyone outside of our company your personal information. The information you provide to us is used only for legitimate research purposes and to determine who is best suited for a survey.

For surveys, we will always contact you via e-mail. The e-mail we send to you will provide you with the survey URL or web address directing you to our survey site to take the most recent survey. If we need to send you a cheque or merchandise we will use the mailing information you have provided us with, OR we will have you visit our site to fill out a form asking for your current mailing address. If we are inviting you to participate in a Telephone Survey, a Group Discussion or Focus Group, we will still send you an e-mail invitation asking you to contact us at a specific telephone number, if you are interested. We also have our newsletters which are sent via e-mail to keep you informed on panel news and views.

A cookie is a small bit of information that is stored in a user's browser, often just a code that contains the server name and a generated string of unique text and numbers. A cookie cannot be used to get data from your hard drive. Cookies are used to store information about what pages you have requested within that specific site, unless the visitor has specifically offered personal information already on the site (i.e. through a registration form). There is no way for a site to know more about that individual. Cookies are beneficial in research to determine where you have "left-off" in the survey if you wish to pick up again at a later time.

We sometimes hear from our AOL members who have trouble viewing graphics with their web browser. There are many factors that can influence the quality of graphics. The easiest and fastest way to better viewing would be to upgrade your AOL to the latest version. All earlier versions of AOL have limitations on viewing graphic attachments. Another way is to use the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape which seems to be the best browser software for viewing graphics. Even if you connect through AOL, you can still use one of these browsers to access the Internet. The last concern would be to check your AOL "Preference for Web Graphics" settings. Make sure you have the option set at "uncompressed". This should help although it may take a little longer to load a web page.
