}}Carrot Rewards is a mobile app for residents of three Canadian provinces, allowing users to complete health questionnaires and track steps in exchange for rewards points.[1] The app is developed by Toronto-based Carrot Insights, a certified B corporation founded in 2015.[2] The app was first launched in British Columbia during March 2016, followed by Newfoundland and Labrador during June 2016 and Ontario during February 2017.[3] Users can choose during sign-up whether they want Aeroplan, Scene, Petro-Points, More Rewards or Drop rewards points.[4] RBC Rewards was also added as an option in June 2018.[5] Survey points are paid for by the organization which created the survey and step points are paid for by the provincial government where the user lives.[6] Carrot Rewards has also partnered with Heart & Stroke, Diabetes Canada and YMCA Canada.[7] The app was later expanded to include questionnaires and surveys on energy conservation and financial literacy.[8] In November 2018, an optional paid tier was added to the Carrot app, allowing users to receive bonus points for completing their goals.[9]

Criticism

Sylvia Jones, a Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario criticized Carrot Insights for advertising a service to check credit scores in the app which was powered by Equifax Canada, leading to customer personal information being breached in the Equifax data breach.[10] Carrot Insights responded by stating that funds provided by the Ontario government were only used to pay for step tracking rewards points.
