The safety and security of your Marketplace projects are a top priority for Cint. We provide a number of ways we protect and monitor your surveys from invalid traffic and fraudulent respondents.
Invalid Traffic
Tracks and identifies invalid traffic (also known as suspicious or fraudulent activity), on entering the marketplace. This will check for any potential fraudulent respondents in real time. This is automatically enabled for all surveys in the Marketplace and you won’t need to make any updates to your security settings. Within reports, this will show up as Marketplace Response Codes- code 32.
GeoIP Check
GeoIP checking will validate that the IP address of a respondent matches the country-language of the survey they are attempting. This check will prohibit respondents from taking surveys that are not targeted to their location. This can help to provide a better experience for respondents and reduce reconciliations. Respondents that meet this status will be referenced with Marketplace Response Codes - code 37.
Deny List
Cint has developed a respondent Deny List, informed by a proprietary historical quality check, to block low-quality respondents from the Marketplace. These respondents are added to the Deny List for surpassing defined behavioral thresholds related to things like reconciliations, link manipulation, or entry to excessive country-languages. Respondents that meet this status will be referenced with Marketplace Response Codes - code 238.
Invalid Browser
Cint has developed the ability to block users from entering the Cint Marketplace from a browser(s) that are linked to high levels of fraud activity. Respondents that meet this status will be referenced with Marketplace Response Codes - code 240.
NOTE: Survey Protection will now replace RelevantID services across the platform.
Respondent Threshold Limit
Limits the number of surveys a respondent can complete on an hourly or daily basis. Respondents that meet this status will be referenced with Marketplace Response Codes - code 241.
Respondent Quality Score
Terminates respondents based on the Cint quality score model which predicts fraud based on a history of quality and fraud issues including straight-lining, speeding, ghost completes, inappropriate open ends, mismatched responses, and duplicate responses. Respondents terminated for exceeding the quality score threshold limit will be assigned the Marketplace Response Codes - code 242.
Marketplace Signature Check
Termination based on respondents attempting to bypass security checks during the pre-survey workflow. Respondents terminated for failing the security check will be assigned the Marketplace Response Codes - code 243
