  • Community means Project Management Institute UK, the Client's community space on the Platform.

  • Responder means an individual who joins (or applies to join) the Community and submits Responses via the Platform.

  • Response means any content submitted by a Responder via the Platform (including video responses and any accompanying text or metadata) in answer to the Client's questions.

Key points

Key points:

  • Your Responses may be kept for for 3 years, and the Client is responsible for deleting them at the end of that period.

  • Your Responses will be used for research, engagement (knowledge and experiences) and marketing (publicly visible) activities.

1. Purpose and scope

1.1 Opiner provides a video-based research platform where Responders can share insights, opinions, and experiences by submitting Responses to questions created by the Client. The purpose of these terms is to ensure smooth, respectful, and productive engagement between all parties.

2. Community participation

2.1 Anyone aged 16 or over who meets the Client's target responder profile, as outlined on the community sign-up page and in the Responder app, can apply to join the Community through the Opiner app by submitting a response to the welcome question. The Client has sole discretion to approve or deny applications. Some communities may have limited capacity, which could result in a waitlist.

2.2 Responders agree to participate voluntarily and submit their video responses through the Opiner app in response to the Client's questions. Participation is based on the Responder's willingness to engage in the research process and provide truthful and insightful answers.

2.3 Responders retain ownership of the content they provide. The license granted to the Client, and how responses may be used, are set out in section 5 and the Key points.

2.4 The Client has the sole discretion to remove any Responder from the community at any time, for any reason.

3. Respectful communication

4. Confidentiality and privacy

4.1 Responder video responses will be accessible as public and are intended for use in research, engagement (knowledge and experiences) and marketing (publicly visible). Responders should avoid sharing special category data or other sensitive information unless it is necessary and they are comfortable sharing it at the selected access level.

4.2 Where response access or usage includes public visibility (for example marketing/public), Responders acknowledge that content may be viewed, copied, shared, or stored by others outside Opiner's control.

4.3 The Client is the Data Controller for personal data collected and used for the purposes of the Community (including Responses), and determines how and why that data is processed. Opiner processes personal data to operate the Platform and may process data on the Client's behalf where applicable.

4.4 All collected data will be stored securely and used in compliance with applicable privacy laws, including but not limited to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or any relevant data protection laws.

5.2 The Client owns the rights to any research insights derived from Responder submissions, including but not limited to aggregated and anonymised data.

5.3 The Client may use video responses for research analysis, presentations, reports, and other forms of publication. Personal identifiers may be removed to ensure anonymity unless otherwise specified by the Responder.

7.4 Responders are responsible for protecting their login information and keeping their account secure. Responders must not share their login details with anyone and should take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access (for example, using a strong password and keeping their device secure).

7.5 If a Responder suspects their account has been compromised, misused, or accessed by someone else, they should contact the Client's community manager or Opiner support as soon as possible.

8. Termination of engagement

8.1 Responders may withdraw their participation at any time by notifying the Client or Opiner. Upon withdrawal, the Responder's access to the Platform may be revoked.

8.2 Opiner and the Client reserves the right to terminate a Responder's participation in the community for any violation of these terms, including but not limited to disrespectful behavior, failure to comply with submission guidelines, or any other actions deemed detrimental to the integrity of the research process.

Where deletion is required by law, or otherwise agreed in writing, the Client and/or Opiner will take reasonable steps to delete or restrict access to the relevant content.
