Yazi Panel Terms

The panel is run by Yazi Research (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2020/635132/07, 31 Heerengracht Street, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa. Yazi decides how panel information is used.

• You must be 18 or older. If you are under 18, we cannot add you, and we do not keep your details.
• You need WhatsApp on your own phone number.
• You can join from any country.
• One membership per person.

• You can also sign up on WhatsApp through our panel sign up form.
• Joining is optional. Saying no never affects a reward you are already owed.
• When you agree, we record the date, the version of these terms you saw, and that you agreed to three things: receiving messages from us, our handling of your information, and being contacted about future studies.
• Sometimes new members go on a waiting list and are reviewed first. If we cannot offer you a place, we tell you and delete the details you shared for the panel.

• When a study fits you, we message you on WhatsApp. You always choose whether to take part.
• Some studies are looking for a particular group, so you may sometimes be screened out after a few questions.
• Reply MENU (or send Hi) at any time to see the studies open to you, check your payouts, update your details or contact support.
• Save the Yazi chat so you do not miss an invite.

• We keep the profile answers you give us: country, region, date of birth, gender, race (if asked), work status, household income or money situation, and any extra questions you answered, such as area type, education, household size and home language.
• We use your profile to match you to studies, and so you do not have to answer the same questions every time.
• Research clients see results that do not include your name or number. For example, they see your age group, never your date of birth.
• You can update your details at any time: reply MENU and choose to update your details.

How often we check your profile

• Each invite says what the study pays. Rewards follow our Participant Terms: you finish, your answers pass our quality checks, and the reward is sent to your WhatsApp number as airtime or as a voucher link in the chat.
• Reply MENU to check your balance and payouts.
• Some studies offer a prize draw instead. Our Prize Draw Rules apply.

Please answer honestly and as yourself. If your answers look not genuine, we may hold or refuse a reward and stop inviting you.

You can always reply in the chat and ask for a person to review a decision.

Send these words on their own in the Yazi WhatsApp chat:

After deletion we keep records of rewards already paid where we need them for accounting or the law, and anonymous delivery statistics with your number removed. Results already combined into anonymous totals or reports cannot be changed. You can also email accounts+privacy@askyazi.com for any of these.

We keep your profile while you are a member. If you leave without deleting your data, or stop responding, we keep your profile only while a study you are taking part in is still running, then delete it.

We may update these terms. The version and date at the top of this page show which one applies.
