We may ask for your email address so you can log in to our service from multiple devices or different publishing partners using the AppHype application.
AppHype stores this information in its database to suggest future surveys that match your profile. Participation in these suggested surveys is entirely voluntary. Additionally, this information will be shared with survey partners. If you are a respondent and have questions about our survey partners' privacy practices and your data storage, please contact the survey partner directly. Respondents are shown their privacy policy whenever we first direct them to our survey partners.
We process your personal information lawfully, fairly, and transparently. We only collect and process your information when we have a legal basis.
These legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we only collect and use your information when:
- Necessary to perform a contract where you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering such a contract (e.g., when providing services you request);
- To satisfy legitimate interests (which are not overridden by your data protection rights), such as for research and development, marketing and promoting our services, and protecting our legitimate rights;
- You consent to us doing so for a specific purpose (e.g., you may consent to us sending you our newsletter); or
- We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation
If you consent to us using your information for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time (but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place).
We do not retain personal information longer than necessary. While retaining this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute data security. We may retain your personal information where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect your or other natural persons' vital interests.
Your data will be processed according to the following legal provisions:
- For data submitted through forms, surveys, etc., with your consent, Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR
- For services used to perform a contract, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR

Privacy Statement - Brazil
This privacy statement for Brazilian users supplements the information contained in the AppHype GmbH Privacy Policy and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in Brazil ("Consumers" or "You"). We adopt this notice to comply with Brazilian data protection law Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (Law No. 13,709/2018) ("LGPD"). Any terms defined in the LGPD have the same meaning when used in this notice.
LGPD
On September 18, 2020, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) came into effect for residents of Brazil. In addition to the rights set forth in our Privacy Policy, as a Brazilian user, you may exercise the following rights regarding the personal information we collect, subject to certain restrictions:
- You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data.
- Right to access data. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and certain information about how we use this data and with whom we share it, including information about any public and private entities with which we have shared your personal data.
- Right to correct incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data. If you wish to correct or modify any of your data we retain, you can access your account and the information contained therein, or contact our team.
- Right to anonymize, block, or delete unnecessary or excessive data, or data not processed in accordance with the LGPD. Please note that upon request, this may lead to suspension or discontinuation of certain services and may be subject to legal and/or contractual retention guidelines.
- You have the right to port data to another service or product provider through an explicit request. We allow you to transfer any of your account data to third parties at any time.
- Right to delete personal data processed with the data subject's consent. You have the right to request permanent deletion of your data, subject to certain exceptions. Please note that exercising this right may lead to suspension or discontinuation of services and may be subject to legal and/or contractual retention guidelines.
- You have the right to request information about the possibility of not consenting to the processing of your personal data and the consequences of refusal.
- Right to revoke consent.
Please note that the above rights are not all absolute and there are limitations/exceptions in certain cases. For example, if we are subject to certain legal constraints or contractual requirements, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, but in such cases, we will still respond by notifying you of this decision.
Exercising Data Portability and Deletion Rights
To exercise the data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us: support@globalsurvey.top
Before processing your request, we need to verify your identity. A verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
- Describe your request in sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and cannot confirm that the personal information relates to you, we will not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
Response Time and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 15 days of receipt, but no later than 30 days. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Where applicable, we will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request in our response. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request.
If you have provided AppHype GmbH with data about your customers that is subject to the LGPD, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from those customers before sharing their personal information with us.
Changes to Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement at our discretion at any time.
When we make changes to this privacy statement, we will notify you through email or a notice on the website homepage.
