5.1 We may survey the information (your content) that you and other account holders upload post or select on the site.

For example a typical survey may be: From a cross section of 1000 account holders in the 45 – 56 age group, 60% said they preferred to have money gifted to charity rather than 40% who still wanted traditional flowers at their service. This simple illustration shows how a group of account holders feel on a particular subject and may help other people who see the results understand issues around later life planning or how a particular group feel in relation to an issue.   

5.2 We will never identify any individual or group of account holders by name unless with the account holder/s express written consent.
