Privacy policy

Effective November 3, 2026. Applies to the Humint browser extension, the Humint desktop app for Windows (both called Survey Helper before version 3.0), and this website.

In short: everything Humint keeps stays on your computer. The app and the extension send us nothing, have no analytics and no ads, and we never sell or share your data. This website counts visits without cookies.

What Humint stores on your computer

Humint uses your browser's own storage (extension storage and IndexedDB). It stores:

Your profile: facts you type in or approve, such as date of birth, gender, ZIP code, state, country, education, work, household income and household size, so it can fill them into surveys for you.
Saved answers: answers you type in surveys, so the same question can be filled next time. By default, ordinary answers are kept automatically, and your answer to an opinion question is kept for 30 days and reused only if the exact same question (with the same choices) comes back. Saved answers can be about anything a survey asks, including your health, money or opinions. You can review, edit or delete them, or turn either off, in Options.
Your survey history: for each survey you do: which sites it went through, when it started and ended, how many pages and questions it had, how it ended, and what it paid.
Copies of survey pages with your answers, if "Keep a copy of each survey page" is on (it is by default). They're deleted after 90 days unless you change that.
Your balances and survey lists on earning sites you use, such as GAIN.GG, read while you're signed in there.
Your GAIN.GG earnings history: each credit in GAIN.GG's own earnings list (its date, its amount, and the survey provider or offer it came from), and your cash-outs, to show your totals by month. It's read while a GAIN.GG page is open, signed in as you, a page every few seconds.
Your settings, and a short error log without profile values, answers or page contents.

Humint only learns answers on survey pages while a survey is being tracked, unless you turn on learning everywhere in Options. It never records pages with a password box, and never saves passwords.

What leaves your computer

Nothing is sent to us. Humint has no server of ours that receives your data.
Survey sites you open receive the answers filled into their forms when you submit them, just as if you had typed them.
GAIN.GG and other earning sites: while you're on their pages, Humint reads your balance, survey list, credits and earnings history from the site itself, using your own sign-in. Those requests go only to that site.
The Humint desktop app (optional): if you use it and link it, the extension shares your survey history, balances and survey lists with it over a connection that stays on your own computer (127.0.0.1). Your profile and saved answers are never shared with it.
Files: a PDF and a data file for each finished survey are saved to your Downloads folder (you can turn this off in Options).
Background checks (off unless you turn them on): Humint opens the job pages you chose, such as Microworkers, to look for new work, signed in as you.

The desktop app

The app keeps the same kinds of data as the extension (profile, saved answers, survey history, balances, GAIN.GG earnings history and settings) in its data folder on your computer, %APPDATA%\Survey Helper. Its built-in browser keeps your sign-ins to the sites you use, like any browser.

It sends nothing to us. It has no analytics, no crash reporting to us, and no automatic updates; you download new versions yourself.
To find surveys for you, it opens GAIN.GG, its survey walls and any other earning sites you turn on in a hidden window, signed in as you. Those requests go only to those sites.
To delete everything, delete the app and its data folder.

This website

This website counts visits and clicks on its download and community links with GoatCounter. It uses no cookies or other browser storage and keeps nothing that identifies you. It counts the page, the site you came from, your browser and system, language, screen width and country (worked out from your IP address, which isn't stored), as totals. To count a visit only once, it keeps a random id in memory for up to eight hours. We use the totals to see how many people find Humint and download it. Download links go to GitHub, and the Telegram link goes to Telegram, which have their own privacy policies.

The GAIN.GG invite link

If you make a new GAIN.GG account from Humint's setup, GAIN.GG opens through our invite link, and GAIN.GG sets a referral cookie in your browser. The setup tells you this before anything opens. GAIN.GG then pays us a referral bonus out of its own pocket. It never comes out of your earnings. Your GAIN.GG account is covered by GAIN.GG's own privacy policy. Humint isn't made by or affiliated with GAIN.GG.

Why it asks for the permissions it has

Access to all sites: surveys run on thousands of different websites, so the helper has to be able to fill questions wherever a survey takes you.
Tabs and navigation: to know when a survey starts, moves to another site and ends, so its time and pay are recorded.
Storage: to keep your profile, answers and history on your computer.
Downloads: to save the files you export.
Notifications and alarms: optional alerts about new work, and daily cleanup.
Side panel, scripting and offscreen documents: the side panel, loading the helper only where it's needed, and building export files.

What we never do

Sell, rent or share your data, or use it for advertising.
Use or transfer your data for purposes other than Humint's single purpose: helping you complete paid surveys and track your earnings.
Use or transfer your data to decide creditworthiness or for lending.

Humint's use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Your choices

Edit or delete any profile field or saved answer in Humint's Options page.
Choose "Erase all data" in Options to delete everything it stored.
Uninstall Humint: your browser deletes everything it stored.
Turn off page copies, automatic answer saving or alerts in Options.

Children

Humint isn't meant for children under 13. Survey and reward sites set their own minimum ages; follow theirs.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
