Confluence

The Confluence App is your opportunity to be a part of the research we do here at Nielsen. Your participation helps us understand how consumers use the internet and their mobile devices by studying the types of apps people like you use. By installing our app on your mobile, you’re contributing to the measurement of the digital landscape and are eligible to earn rewards.

Before downloading our Confluence App, you must first sign up using our registration form (if you were directly invited to participate, use the provided information to register your account). Once your registration is submitted, you can download this app to your mobile

If you haven’t completed our registration form, this app will not function and you won’t receive rewards. In addition, if you weren’t directly invited to participate or did not already register, you can sign up online for the Confluence mobile panel

With your help, Nielsen and our clients will better understand mobile device trends such as app usage, website visits and how much time is spent viewing content. Your mobile activity will be anonymized and aggregated along with thousands of other participating panelists before any reports are shared. Note that our app uses an on-device local VPN to collect high level mobile web and app usage information such as timestamp and URL for media research purposes.

This app uses Accessibility services. Confluence uses this permission with active consent of the end-user. The Accessibility permissions are used for analyzing the application and web usage on this device as part of an opt-in market research panel.

Our app also uses Foreground Services to sync app with a Nielsen backend on a regular interval to collect and process data - both of which are critical features of the app and core components of participation. In addition, the App serves as a tool for panelists to manage their account, including accessing their rewards.
