Absolutely not. We encourage you, of course, to actively participate in research, but this is not obligatory. You decide in which surveys you do want to take part, and in which you are not interested.

Probably your email provider recognized our notifications as spam, check the appropriate mail folder and change your settings - add admin@cintindex.com to your safe contact e-mail - then it won’t be filtered anymore.
10.What is the number of participants in each study, do all registered fill each time the same surveys?
Our clients entrust us with surveys on various products and services, so while selecting respondents to a particular study, we do follow the information given us during your registration. There are researches dedicated to women, to men, to people of different age groups, etc.
11.I wanted to join the study to which you invited me, but I received notification that the number of participants was exceeded, what does it mean?
For each research, we invite higher number of respondents than actually needed. We must do so, to make sure that we collect the desired amount of data, and unfortunately we cannot predict how many participants actually fill the survey. Other invited respondents this time were faster than you. Do not worry, next time you overtake others.
12.I received an invitation to the survey, but after answering few questions, I received a message that I don’t meet the criteria of the target group, why has this happened?
Respondents are selected for the target groups based on their profile data. Each survey contains however a set of control questions that re-verify, if the participant actually meets the criteria of specific target group. Sometimes, the system assigns a participant to the study, and after a few control questions, it turns out, that it was wrong. Then this particular survey is being discontinued, and you are automatically transferred to another survey, more accurate for you, if we find one at the time in our system.

After completion of the study, we reward each of the respondents. Earned funds go to your account in our system, and after collecting the appropriate amount you can order a transfer to the account indicated by you.
2.Why do I have to wait till a larger amount of money is accumulated, to be able to transfer it to my bank account?
There is large number of respondents registered in the system. Collecting larger amount of money for transfers aims to improve service and funds settlement, which allows us to offer you more attractive salary.
3.When do I get paid?
Each time, you get your salary within 30 working days after sending us back the completed survey.
4.I still didn’t receive my salary for the study, in which I took part. Why?
There are two possibilities - perhaps you have not completed the survey. If you did finish it though, and you have seen a message about the successful completion after submitting it, the system could not calculate the remuneration yet, for the reason that the study is not yet closed - some studies are settled only after meeting a set of questionnaires of all respondents. It never takes longer than 30 days.
5.I wanted to transfer the money to my bank account, but after ordering the payment, they never arrived on my account. What happened?
Managing of your withdrawals requires providing valid data for the transfer, including the email address you used when registering in the system. Select the "My account status" and refer payment - Transfer. If you didn’t complete one of the above formalities, the system will not accept payment orders. But if you've done everything as required, you have to be patient and wait. According to the terms and conditions, the time for payment (transfers are made by system, rather than manually, and it happens at a specific time) is 45 days.
Rewarding
For every survey you receive a salary, the rate of which is clearly defined prior to the survey – you decide whether you want to participate. Earned funds accumulate in your account, that is created during your registration in the system, and you transfer it then to your bank account.
