Nielsen Pulse

Confluence is a Nielsen mobile research app that lets you join a trusted panel and earn rewards for sharing anonymized app and web usage data. After registering through the panel sign-up, install the Confluence app to contribute to market research on app usage, website visits, and time spent viewing content. Participation helps Nielsen and clients understand digital trends and improves measurement of the mobile landscape.

The app uses an on-device local VPN, Accessibility services (with your consent), and Foreground Services to collect high-level usage metadata (timestamp, URL, app activity). All data is anonymized and aggregated before reporting. You must complete registration to receive rewards; the app also provides tools to manage your panel account and track rewards. Privacy and opt-in consent are central: no data is shared individually, and participation is optional.
