    "Not every survey can be a winner, but here's 5 SB for trying Survey 23939022"

    :eek: A rare moment of generosity from SB, or are they just doing 1 x 5SB DQ instead of 5x1sb...?

    Anyone else not having any flight searches today?
    Flight searches show for me, although yesterday the completed searches did not show in the Activity list, so did not get the SB nor tick the To Do List.

    Anyone had the 'cookie consent' come up when accessing Peanut Labs? I've managed to accept the t&c's on my iPad because the screen is big enough but I can't do it on my phone. Tried downloading the SB app too but that's just the same.

    People will have seen that survey companies (and banks, credit card companies etc.) are increasingly seeking consent to use and/or hold data. This will increase further this month because new data protection regulations come in on 25th May.

    The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) are designed to protect consumers/public from companies or the Government using personal information without consent. There are really high penalties if companies don't comply and if data is mis-used consumers are entitled to significant compensation.

    Read the questions in requests from survey companies and if not happy don't consent, However, nothing fundamentally has changed with the way survey companies use the info provided as they risk fines if they don't ask for consent to be confirmed, it's just that they have to ensure they renew the consent request.

    Information on GDPR (from a company perspective) is set out under the link below.

    Hi All, I had a long break from Swagging but started again last weekend. Have they ditched the personalised daily goals? The first goal has been 40 every day for me this week, which is just about achievable on a busy work day. I used to get frustrated with a high goal on a busy day, usually when I needed it to complete a streak.

    Because you have been away for a long time they are giving you a low personal first target (and I expect the second one will be relatively low too).

    They also now seem to be maintaining the number for a longer run than they used to (but still generally lower at the weekend).

    Final comment - they used to give bonus SB of 10% of the target and have now cut back to be 1 or 2 below the 10% figure.
