GfK's business is opinion research. While unsolicited commercial calls are prohibited in Germany, pollsters can legally contact you. However, they must adhere to rules. Reputable companies in this industry will therefore not buy your data, but will call you in two ways:

1. A customer of the company wants to start a satisfaction analysis and has therefore given GfK your contact details.
2. Your phone number is generated electronically by a random number generator, which will then call you. If a contact is made, a human employee takes over.

The range of call reasons is large. Among other things, it was reported that people were asked about television behavior. In other cases, for example, it was about whether you noticed a certain type of advertising (such as gang advertising in the stadium) and whether you still remembered the name of the insurance company.

In almost all cases, it was also reported that the callers were very polite and, even if they were blown away, ended the calls politely.
