    To be honest, if you!!!8217;re uncomfortable with data capture you shouldn!!!8217;t be on any site like this as that is a priority purpose for them.
    Isn't it the personal identifiers we need to worry about? Emails, credit cards, addresses, I'm sure there's something else. (names!)

  • Maybe try a different browser, or an incognito tab. I had the same problem for a few days and that worked for me.

    I've just earned 20 SB for a survey (F15485664) which promised extra 15p per correctly answered question regarding information they provide - supposed to be 8 questions. There were in fact two sets of 8 questions and I know I got at least 13 of these correct. However it decided I had got none of them right and therefore would not pay out.

    I did give them feedback (when they had made that statement the first time) that if they did not pay out I would not do any more of that company's surveys.

    This happened to me yesterday. First of all it was a bit of a long drawn out survey for just 20 sb and then it didn't pay out for the correct answers :mad:
    They told me I had answered 12 questions correctly and earned £1.80 but when I clicked submit it opened a page that told me I hadn't answered any of the questions correctly :eek:

    Thanks for this, it worked when I opened Explorer. Stopped working at 25 or so, which is still really good.


    I'll have to learn about incognito tabs ... I guess its easy to do that on a mobile :)

    On desktop "Ctrl shift N" opens an incognito window in Chrome, without "shift" it just opens a new window

    (Using "P" instead of "N" opens the edge equivalent which is InPrivate browsing)

    Thanks mjm3346 - I used to use private browsing a lot on my kindle (which sounds terrible, doesn't it) it was just that normal browsing seemed to paralyse the thing. It's a great solution to this particular problem though :)
