How to Update Your Survey Profile When Your Life Changes

Your demographic profile is what connects your surveys to you: thanks to it, the system assigns you the studies you fit. So when something changes in your life — you move house, your situation changes — it is worth updating it to keep receiving the right surveys. It is quick, and on encuentaspagadas.com it takes a minute. Here is when and how.

Why keeping your profile current matters

Market research studies look for specific groups, often by geographic area or age. If your profile says you live somewhere you have already left, you can be excluded from studies in your new area and keep receiving (or losing) those from the old one. An accurate profile means more relevant surveys and fewer disqualifications. Studies follow professional standards from bodies like ESOMAR, and the accuracy of your data improves the quality of matching.

When you should update it

• You move house. The postcode is key for regional studies: update it when you change address.
• You change country. Studies are commissioned per country, so this field is fundamental.
• A relevant situation changes. If any profile field no longer reflects your reality, bring it up to date.

What you do not need is to touch it constantly: the profile is filled in once and only updated when something genuinely changes.

How to update it, step by step

1. Log in to your account and open your profile section.
2. Review your four fields: year of birth, gender, country and postcode.
3. Correct whatever has changed (usually the postcode or country).
4. Save. From that moment, survey matching takes your new data into account.

A note on your data and privacy

We only ask for those four demographic fields, following the data minimisation principle of the GDPR: just enough to assign you studies, with your consent and always under your control. You can correct them or ask for them to be deleted whenever you want. Updating your profile is, in fact, exercising your right to rectification. Payments run through PayPal, so your financial data never passes through us.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I update my profile?

Only when something genuinely changes, usually a house move or a change of country. There is no need to touch it often: it is filled in once and adjusted if your data changes.

What happens if I do not update my postcode after moving?

You can be excluded from studies in your new area and receive regional studies less well. Updating it brings you back to surveys relevant to where you live now.

Does updating the profile affect my balance or my streak?

No. Your balance and streak are kept. Updating the profile only improves the matching of future surveys.

Where do I change my data?

In the profile section inside your account. You review your four fields, correct what has changed and save; the system takes it into account immediately.

Is it safe to change my data?

Yes. We only handle four demographic fields under the GDPR, with your consent and control. Updating them is exercising your right to rectification.
