Agent – Principal Relationship
 

The relationship between MoneyForMyData and the member in regard to a member's data, identity and information is one of agent-principal. The member (principal) expressly appoints the company as his/her general agent to represent the member in the collection, storage, aggregation and marketing of all data specific to the member. In return for this appointment and to encourage the continued sharing of member data for this purpose, the company (agent) will pay the principal a portion of the profit derived from marketing the da ta's economic value. The primary data collection method is the presentation of periodic surveys to members. Offering data by answering survey questions is not mandatory for membership, but note:
  1. The benefits of data ownership and compensation for marketing this data are based upon the member's participation.
  2. Survey questions unanswered do not generate property rights nor monetary returns in such questions; these restrictions also apply when the member specifically opts out and does not give permission to use the data.
  3. The member receives one point for every answer with opt-in. Point totals are used to calculate the member's pro-rata profit-sharing amounts compared to all points held by all members. The website may periodically award additional points to be earned by all members in any particular class. Some questions may also earn more than one point based on a higher value for the information compared to other questions.
  4. Members who do not participate in half or more of survey questions presented may be subject to having their membership terminated.

My Earnings

Click MY DATA to access your information and your account balances at MoneyForMyData. Profit sharing amounts are deposited to your account quarterly. Balances over $50 will be available to you within 24 hours of the end of each quarter. Remember that, in order for a data element to be considered for profit sharing, you must give permission to utilize that data in the marketing products offered by MoneyForMyData. Under the Terms of Service, you have named us as your agent and directed us to manage and market your consumer and personal information in the same way it is presently marketed by many other U.S. market data companies (which do NOT pay you!).

For example, if you have indicated a consumer preference for purchasing a new 4-door sedan in the next 60 days, automakers will pay for that information in order to send an advertisement or contact you by email. At MoneyForMyData, such information will come directly from you, the consumer, and you will be compensated (through profit-sharing) for your willingness to communicate that information and receive ads from  automakers.

There are some types of data that, while very valuable, are practically unknown to you. The OBD data from your vehicle’s onboard computer is one example. We will help members to be aware of such data and how it can be valuable. Car repair shops, especially brand dealers, collect this data and regard it as theirs; it is invaluable to the automaker for recall research, R&D, engineering, warranty strategies, etc. We will be looking at all your data (on your behalf) to develop market opportunities.  You may direct questions about your account and earnings to us at myearnings@moneyformydata.com.
