Join Today!

Thank you for your interest in joining our Consumer Technology Panel™. As a Panel Member,
you and the other members of your household will have the opportunity to participate in a
variety of fun and interesting opinion polls and product tests.

Cash and Prizes!

All of our client surveys involve Incentives to encourage your participation. In most cases, your
name will be entered into our Survey Incentive Sweepstakes, the winners of which receive
cash or merchandise.  We encourage you to take a moment to view our Winners page.

Often times, when you participate in a product test, you will be allowed to keep the item for
your own enjoyment.

To join, simply complete our short application. Please answer every question completely.
This information is for research purposes only and will be held strictly confidential. Your
privacy is assured. We encourage you to take a moment to review our Privacy Pledge
before joining.

A Word About Minors

Occasionally, our work focuses on the attitudes, opinions and preferences of young people.
Respondents under the age of 18 may participate in our surveys only with the consent of an adult
member in the household.

When responses from minors are needed for a survey, we will ask adult members to discuss with
the minors in their household whether or not they are willing to participate.

If an applicant to the Panel indicates that he/she is under the age of 18, we will not process the
application.  Instead, we will offer two means by which they can participate in our studies: Option 1 -
we will supply an online permission form that can be printed out, signed by an adult member of
the household, and returned to us. Option 2 - the applicant can ask an adult member of the
household to join our Panel and become the primary contact for that household.

These policies are consistent with those recommended by the Children's Advertising Review Unit
of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc., the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
and the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO).

DRI can accept this Panel Application only if you are 18 years of age or older.
