OpenQ is a user research platform that connects companies conducting research studies with participants. By participating in these studies, you can provide valuable feedback and help shape the development of products and services and receive rewards and incentives in return for your contribution.

You are not required to sign-up for research studies proactively at the moment. If we determine that you are a good fit for an existing study based on your work experience and qualifications, we will reach out to you with an invitation to participate.

At the moment, you can participate in user interviews and surveys through OpenQ. The types of studies you are invited to may vary depending on your profile, experience and the currently active studies on the platform.

Most research studies do not require special equipment. However, for some remote studies, such as video interviews, you may need a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.

Your work experience, and interests determine your eligibility for specific research studies. When a study matches your profile and experience, OpenQ will invite you to participate.

The frequency of participation depends on the availability of research studies that match your profile and experience. There's no limit to the number of studies you can participate in, as long as you meet the criteria.

The duration of a research study varies depending on the type and complexity of the study. Surveys may take just a few minutes to complete, while user interviews could vary anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or more.

OpenQ values your privacy and only uses your work experience information to match you with relevant research studies. Your personal information is never shared with third parties beyond the Research teams conducting studies without your consent. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy.

Yes, your participation in research studies is kept confidential and never shared by OpenQ with any third-party organization without your explicit consent. OpenQ takes privacy and confidentiality very seriously, ensuring that your personal information and responses are protected and securely stored.

The information you share with Researchers during a research study is used for serving the immediate purpose of the study's objectives. They may be shared internally within the Researcher's organization (which is different from OpenQ) or with the Researcher's client organizations. However, your feedback is usually not shared publicly without your explicit consent. If you have any questions regarding how the data you share during the study will be used, you can always ask the Researcher this question at the start of the session.

Yes, participants typically receive rewards or incentives for their involvement in research studies. The incentive amount and type varies depending on the type of study, session duration and participant location. This information is communicated to you along with the research participation invite. Be sure to review this information when you sign-up to participate in a study.

Incentives are usually distributed within three business days from session completion. The method and time frame for receiving your incentive will be communicated in the study invitation or during the study itself. You will typically be able to redeem your incentive from a number of different options, including prepaid Visa cards, gift cards, cash, donations to charity, or discounts on products and services.

Yes, OpenQ conducts research studies for companies around the world. Your eligibility for specific studies will depend on your location and the requirements of the research.

OpenQ will notify you via email when a research study matching your profile and experience becomes available. You can also stay updated by following us on social media and subscribing to our newsletter.

Yes, you can withdraw from a study at any time without any consequences. Simply inform the research team about your decision. If you withdraw from a study, you may not be eligible to receive an incentive for that study. However, your decision to withdraw will not impact your eligibility for future studies.

While you cannot directly choose the studies you participate in at the moment, OpenQ will match you with research opportunities based on your profile and experience. You can decide whether to accept or decline each invitation.
