# ClearVoice Surveys

Data breach — High

In August 2015, ClearVoice Surveys suffered a data breach. 15 million accounts were affected. The exposed data includes dates of birth, email addresses, connection data, names, passwords, phone numbers and postal addresses.

| Fact | Value |

| Disclosed on | April 23, 2021 |
| Incident dated | August 23, 2015 |
| Accounts affected | 15M |
| Sector | Media and leisure |
| Country | International or undetermined |
| Cause | Undisclosed |
| Severity | High |
| Status | Confirmed |

## Exposed data

- Date of birth
- Email address
- Connection data (IP, logs)
- Full name
- Password (hashed)
- Phone number
- Postal address

## What you can do

- Change that password — and everywhere you reused it. That is how a leak spreads to your other accounts.
- Turn on two-factor authentication on the affected accounts: a stolen password is then no longer enough.
- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
