INDIEFIELD paid research

I find it quite troubling, the amount of info they attempt to harvest and the permissions they seek to use the data in the questionnaire before they have decided to seek my opinion. Their questionnaire asks for access to website, photo and business details and it is quite possible that I never hear from them again. Something feels not right here.

Is this data harvesting? @martinlewis

Has anyone else been asked very personal info and just heard nothing? Does anyone else agree the depth of info requested seems too much?

    Not sure if it helps, but there are two cos. with similar names, both with registered office in Basker St. Enfield.

    Indiefield Ltd (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06622952) and Indiefield Services Ltd (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10773555). Tara-Mary Lyons is the only Company Officer registered for both.

    If you click on the Filing history for both companies, you will see that Indiefield Services Ltd is apparently a dormant company and appears to have been so since incorporation in 2017.

    I wouldn't go for this personally, but I don't like surveys anyway. They seem to have had two 5* and two 1* review on Trustpilot (https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/indiefield.com). This appears to be for Indiefield.com, but this does not seem to appear to relate to a separate company on Google except for the location of its server.
