The respondent data is obtained by means of the double opt-in procedure. As such, E2Ma customers have consumers’ consent and may use their data for advertising purposes. E2Ma thus provides consumer data optimally tailored to customers’ needs with the highest possible quality standards. To date, E2Ma has more than 300 satisfied customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and cooperates with over 500 partners within the scope of the surveys.
