The Fan Lab is, from what I've pieced together, essentially a large reference pool where you share opinions on various entertainment-related things with both the "Company" and other "Members."

Do be aware that they're asking you to disclose personal information, and the terms and conditions explicitely state that if you agree to said terms and conditions, you're essentially giving them permission to collect as much personal information available to them on this site for research purposes. If you don't have much info aside from typical registration stuff (first/last names, e-mail adress, etc.), then you can probably join and still be safe, but don't forget that their whole purpose is getting data, and basically anything you put on the internet is subject to their research.

Personally, I think the whole thing is a bad idea. I don't trust research companies. But it's up to you whether it's worth it to check it out. Which is the reason the moment they started askin for personal info I closed the tab and dismissed the notification
