"Toluna is our online social voting platform of over 21 million users in 50 countries and 28 languages. Our influencers have the power to influence some of the world's largest brands and get rewarded instantly. Tell the world's leading providers of products and services what you think and earn rewards by participating in surveys and by sharing your opinions through polls and topics created directly on Toluna.com.
Every service that our site offers is free of charge, and for participation in most Toluna activities, you will be awarded points. "

Points are a form of virtual currency awarded to Toluna members for various actions, these include: participation in surveys; inviting friends to join Toluna who complete the registration process; completing profile surveys, playing games and of course engaging in community content. When you sign up on Toluna you will receive 500 points to welcome you to the site. When you have earned enough points, you may redeem them for rewards, such as vouchers from great shops and brands. To stay up to date on all of our offers, please visit the Rewards Centre

To join Toluna, simply click on "SIGN UP". You will be asked to provide some basic information when creating your account. After signing up, a confirmation email will be sent to you in order to finalise your registration. You must click the link in this email to confirm your registration on Toluna. Once your registration is complete, you can start participating in surveys, content, and games to get rewarded.

Registration to Toluna is completely free - Not only will you never be asked to pay, but just by answering our surveys and engaging in fun community activities like content and games, you will earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers and cash payments.

Becoming a member lets you take part in surveys and allows you to create your own polls and topics. You can then start to accumulate points that are redeemable for rewards.

Toluna invites thousands of members to answer surveys everyday on a wide array of subjects. The purpose of these surveys is to collect your opinions about the products and services of large consumer brands, your habits as a consumer, or about the world you live in. Your opinion will have a direct impact on companies and how they market, distribute or advertise new products and services to consumers like you.

We ask for personal information such as your name, address, gender, birthday and employment status to better match you with the appropriate market research projects. This information is also used for the purposes of incentive fulfillment so that we may send your reward to the appropriate recipient address. Other personal information that you may be asked to provide to us is solely for the purpose of building and operating a worldwide proprietary database of panelists, in order to conduct market research studies on that basis and we provide your responses to our surveys on to our clients in anonymised and aggregated form.

We do a variety of surveys for many clients. Some of these surveys are programmed by us, others are programmed by our clients and hosted on their systems. A major factor in technical issues is that survey respondents are using a wide variety of operating systems, browsers, Internet connections, and hardware, and not all of these are necessarily compatible with the technology of a particular survey. And, of course, sometimes, human error is a factor. If you encounter a technical problem with a survey, usually, by waiting a while and trying again later, the problem will be resolved. If the same error persists, please report it to us at https://enmy.toluna.com/contactus by providing the Survey ID and a screen shot, if possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by technical errors and will do our best to get them resolved.

Sometimes this happens if a survey is generating greater than expected responses. Also, the invitations aren't necessarily delivered right away by your email service provider. We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience and thank you for your participation. Please know that more survey opportunities will become available.

Your Profile Surveys can be accessed directly from the "Survey Centre" or via the Surveys menu in the header: "Surveys" -"Profile Surveys". Profile Surveys are designed to help us improve the level of service we provide and allows us to send you surveys that you are most likely to qualify for. Profile Surveys are divided into three categories: profiles you haven't filled in yet, profiles you have answered before, but have since been updated and require your attention (New), and profiles you have already completed. For each completed personal profile survey, you are awarded 100 points.
Remember to update your profiles every 6 months to earn more points.

Finish your full registration on Toluna and verify your email by clicking on the link you receive in your mailbox. If a survey matches your profile, you will receive an invitation by email or see the surveys available in your Survey Center on Toluna. The more up to date your Profile Surveys are, the more chances you have of being invited to take part in surveys you qualify to take.e. Toluna will only send a limited number of surveys on mobile to specific users that we believe will qualify.

You can opt out from this service at any time by going to your account page.

For each completed survey you can generally earn between 15 and 50,000 points (depending on its length). Some special surveys could offer higher incentives.

Survey length is strictly dependent on the study.

No, under no circumstances will surveys be used to sell or promote a product, nor will you receive any advertising or promotional material as a result of joining the Toluna community.

This is because some surveys are looking for a very specific group of people who meet a very narrow set of demographic criteria. Sometimes, determining whether someone qualifies for a survey takes just a few questions, other times it may take more questions. Please know we appreciate your participation and that when you don't qualify, your responses are not used in the final research findings.
To increase the chances that you will qualify for future online surveys, complete all of the member personal profile surveys. Remember, you are awarded 100 points for each personal profile survey you complete!

The timing of crediting for points depends on the survey. For some surveys, points are credited very quickly or within a few days, while for others you will receive the points only after the survey has closed. You can expect to wait a maximum of six weeks for points to be credited to your account from when a survey closes, though we try to limit this as much as possible.

This is because some surveys are looking for a very specific group of people who meet a very narrow set of demographic criteria. Sometimes, determining whether someone qualifies for a survey takes just a few questions, other times it may take more questions.

Toluna's profiling process is continuous — the objective being to have broad and current attributes on each member. Our clients make marketing decisions based on responses from our members in their surveys so we must implement strict quality controls to make sure you are part of the target the client is looking for. The questions we ask at the beginning of each survey may seem repetitive but are necessary to ensure the integrity of the survey sample.

When you do not qualify for a survey, your responses cannot be used in the final research findings, and therefore are never transferred to our clients. Likewise, Toluna will never use or transfer these responses for internal use. As the information you entered is incomplete and cannot be used for our client’s research, you will not receive points when you have not completed the survey.

If you would like to receive surveys on your smartphone, simply enter your mobile phone number on Toluna during your registration or directly on your account page. Don’t forget to tick the option “I agree to receive invitations to surveys by SMS”.
Toluna will only send a limited number of surveys on mobile to specific users that we believe will qualify. You will not be required to answer the survey by text message. The SMS you will receive will include a link to the survey.
When you access a survey from your smartphone, please make sure you have a good internet connectivity. We recommend using a Wi-Fi secure connection, instead of taking the survey through your Mobile Internet Plan/Mobile Data, to avoid additional costs on your monthly bill/top-up.
Warning: Standard SMS reception rates may apply depending on your service provider

You can opt out from this service at any time by going to your account page and unticking the option “I agree to receive invitations to surveys by SMS” in the Personal Details tab.

Toluna is all about proposing interesting experiences to our members. This is why we thought it necessary to allow you the opportunity to help us personalise our content feed by only showing content that our Influencers would like to interact with. By rating content, you can make sure that you see quality discussions and that the most interesting content will display at the top of the "Recommended" feed.

"On each content, you will see 2 arrows:

Upvote - Arrow pointing up: allows you to indicate which content you find most engaging.

Downvote - Arrow pointing down: if you feel that a specific content is not interesting enough to show up on the main feed, you can choose to express that feeling by downvoting it.

"

"When you upvote a piece of content, this adds to its popularity. If many people like you, have upvoted the same content, it will be considered as engaging and show up in the ""Recommended"" and ""Popular"" sections.
Of course, content selected by the community as being of quality is more likely to get rewarded. "

"When you downvote a piece of content, this decreases its popularity. If many others like you, have downvoted the same content, it will be considered as low quality and not show up in the ""Recommended"" or ""Popular"" sections.
If a piece of content is widely downvoted, the community managers will investigate, and have it deleted if necessary." If a piece of content is widely downvoted, the community managers will investigate, and have it deleted if necessary."

"Toluna takes pride in making sure that interesting content is always pushed to the top and that our tools cannot be used to bully or harass fellow influencers. This is why we have taken measures to ensure that manual checks are in place and good content cannot be abusively downvoted.
Thanks to our user feedback, we have also made sure that only upvote numbers are displayed publicly. "
