how long does it take to get mobileexpressions to credit?

[dmalsbury]

I don't know the answer to that question. Anyone ?

[Kymberli0529]

I downloaded the app. and it's messing up my phone.  Never got credited.  Was told to open a ticket, not sure if they've responded yet.

[Valerie1979]

let me know if you hear anything.

[Kymberli0529]

Still nothing yet..it's been a while too.

Personally, I'm thinking of just deleting it and saying F it.  It isn't even working the way it's supposed to on my crackberry.

I read somewhere that it takes 7-14 days for them to gather all the info that they need and that's when you get credit. Throughout that time your phone needs to be always on and needs to always have reception. They will collect ALL kinds of data, including what you do online, what you keep in your phone (downloads, custom ringtones, etc.), how long you talk on your phone, your txt messages and so on. They even mentioned somewhere that it's possible for them to "stumble" onto your personal, financial and other "sensitive" data. Research this offer first.

What information is collected?

Basic Demographic Information: When you sign up for this program, we may obtain your contact information and some basic demographic information about you using a questionnaire, information from companies through which you obtained or inquired about this program, or the application that you install onto your mobile device and allow to track your Internet usage.

Survey response information: Once you agree to participate in this program, we may notify you of survey opportunities through various means. If you elect to participate in a survey, we require that you provide complete and accurate information about yourself and your household. The survey opportunities that we provide to you may be related to other information that that we collect. For example, we may provide you with a survey asking you about the quality of your user experience at a particular website.

Mobile device hardware and other configuration information: Our application may collect certain basic hardware, configuration and application usage information about the mobile device on which you install our application, including such data as the model of the mobile device , the amount of memory in the mobile device, and technical information about the device (e.g. number of games loaded, number of custom ringtones available, and operating system versions). To that end, we may also collect information about phone ownership, mobile phone services provider names and mobile phone models, usage of various mobile phone features, and opinions and attitudes related to all of the above.

Internet usage information: Once you install our application, it monitors all of the Internet behavior that occurs on the mobile device on which you install the application, including both your normal web browsing and the activity that you undertake during secure sessions, such as filling a shopping basket, completing an application form or checking your online accounts, which may include personal financial or health information. Inadvertently, we may collect personal information about our panelists; and when this happens, we make commercially viable efforts to purge our database of such information.

Internet usage information may include messaging services, mobile web browsing activity, usage and titles of downloaded applications and files as well as usage of cameras, video streaming and other utilities on the mobile device as well as usage times for certain device activities (e.g., text messaging, call lengths, and web browsing).

Please note: Our application does not examine text of your e-mail messages or text messages, image files either downloaded or captured via camera phones, contact or address book entries saved on the phone, or calendar entries. We may, however, record the number of text messages and review select e-mail header information, including any SMS Short Code numbers that may have been dialed.

How is the information collected?

This application monitors your Internet usage by transmitting to our servers information about the web pages that you visit and the actions that you take while online. The operation of transmitting this information to our servers requires a communication from your phone. Consequently, if you incur charges when using your browser to surf the Internet, then you will also incur charges related to the transmission of information to our servers. In addition, we may ask for information about you using surveys, for which participation is completely voluntary. We may also combine the information that you provide us with additional information (such as select credit bureau and prescription information) or with information obtained from other sources (such as consumer preference reporting companies, credit reporting agencies, and prescription benefits managers) using confidential matching procedures. In these cases, we will: (i) provide the third party data match processor only the personal information necessary to perform a match and, infrequently, to assist us performing statistical analyses; (ii) establish procedures and legal obligations that prohibit use of the information received for any other purpose or disclosure of this information to anyone else; and (iii) require destruction of the received information after completion of the match. The information that we obtain from other sources will not include confidential personally identifiable information such as credit card numbers and account numbers. You further agree that we may use third party service providers to obtain your TV viewing and mobile usage information and that we may integrate such data with the data that you provide us as part of this research community, provided that the acquisition and processing of such information adheres to the privacy principles included in this privacy policy and user license agreement. Your information is stored in the United States where our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of other countries may differ from those of the United States. Your information may be processed outside of the United States, provided that the data protection laws of such processing location affords similar if not more protections than those afforded in the United States for the processed data.

How is the collected information used?

Market Research Reports: Applying concepts similar to those used by television-rating services, we use the information collected through our application and your survey responses, combined with information from other sources, to make statistically-based projections about current and future Internet user behavior and, more generally, to extrapolate data about potential economic trends. For certain commercial customers, we may provide individual-level, anonymized information. We make this data available so that these customers may enhance their own understanding of Internet usage and online commercial trends. In all cases, we make commercially viable efforts to automatically filter confidential personally identifiable information such as UserID, password, credit card numbers, and account numbers from the data being provided. Our customers use our market research reports to: (i) modify online services and offerings; (ii) make more effective use of online data to understand both online and offline commercial behavior; and (iii) discern general economic trends and the business performance of specific entities for a wide range of business purposes including, but not limited to, identifying financial investment opportunities and understanding the value and interest in certain business enterprises.

By Those Who Assist Us In Providing Services To You: From time to time, we may share your contact information with those third parties who help us deliver this program to you (for example, companies that administer incentive programs). When we do this, we provide only the necessary information for the service provider to perform its assigned function, and we contractually prohibit the use or disclosure of this information to anyone else unless you authorize it.

As Required by Law: In rare cases, and as is done by any other business, if we are compelled to disclose certain information through a valid legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, or a search warrant, we would do so. However, we would comply by providing only the minimum information necessary.

How is the information secured?

Safeguards: We have implemented a variety of safeguards (including physical, digital, and legal protections) focused on ensuring that the information collected through this program is protected from unauthorized use, modification, or disclosure. For example, our employees are subjected to periodic evaluation and investigation, are contractually restricted on their use and access to personally identifiable information, and are educated and retrained as needed on internal security policies and procedures.

If you would like to access, modify, and/or request deletion of the personally identifiable profile information submitted by you as part of this program, you may complete a support form on our website, or e-mail our support staff at the e-mail address provided below.
