  • Why was I chosen to take part in the study?

    It’s important to us that our research represents the views of everyone living in the UK. Our sample is selected very carefully so it is as representative as possible. Your household was selected as part of this process. You will have recently been visited by one of our interviewers from Kantar and agreed to complete our survey.

  • How will the information I provide by participating in a Kantar survey be used?

    The National Buying Survey is an important piece of market research, which is used by businesses and organisations to understand more about the product consumption and ownership of over 4,000 brands, together with the media habits and attitudes of people in Great Britain.  We collect data from thousands of respondents each year to build up a complete and accurate picture of the nation.
    Because the survey is conducted every year we are able to identify areas of growth and decline, giving great insight into life in the UK.  

    For more information on how your data might be used, please see our data protection commitment.  

  • Will I receive more junk mail as a result of taking part in a Kantar survey?

    Absolutely not! Kantar will never use, or permit others to use, the personal information you give us to send you direct marketing messages. Kantar adheres to the Market Research Society (MRS) Code of Conduct (www.mrs.org.uk).

  • I’ve completed the survey, but I haven’t received my incentive yet. What should I do?
