Survey Respondents: Confidentiality and Information Sharing
Electronics Cooling surveys that are conducted on behalf of our customers generate reports with data tables and summaries that are used by our customers, and in turn, may be used by our customers within their respective markets. These data are typically used to inform decisions, understand the needs and interests of stakeholders, or to evaluate attitudes and opinions on issues of interest. In all cases, data that is collected from individual survey participants is reported back to our clients in combination with other participants. We protect from disclosure to clients and third parties the identity of survey participants and respondent-identifiable information. All information will be supplied in aggregate format, unless otherwise indicated, as outlined in “Survey Respondents: Information Sharing”.
Any personal information provided when participating in an online sweepstakes or other online incentive program we host is used only for the purpose of fulfilling the given prize or incentive.
Survey Respondents: Information Sharing
Electronics Cooling will use the information you may provide to us for internal purposes and share it only for the limited purposes described herein.
We do occasionally host surveys which provide respondents with the opportunity to share their information with the client conducting the survey. In these cases, an option to share contact information is included in the survey, allowing the respondent to opt-in to having their information shared (anonymous survey data will still be used in aggregate, regardless).
Electronics Cooling surveys may contain links to information on other websites. We do not have any control over these other websites, and therefore we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. Those websites are not governed by this privacy policy, and if you have questions about how a website uses your information, consult that site’s privacy statement.
Survey Respondents: Handling of Personal Information
“Personal information” means information that (a) is about, or relates to, an identified or identifiable individual, (b) can be linked to that individual, and (c) is recorded. Personal information may include, among other things, an individual’s name, address, phone number, or email address. For further clarity, the term “personal information” does not include information that pertains to a specific individual, but from which that individual cannot reasonably be identified.
All personal information is handled in accordance with the policies listed with this privacy policy. You may opt out of the collection of personal information by choosing not to respond to any questions asking for personal information, or by choosing not to complete the survey at all. Further, you may contact us if you would like to opt out of (1) the disclosure of your personal information to a third party (as outlined elsewhere in this privacy policy), or (2) the use of your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Please submit such opt-out requests to info@electronics-cooling.com.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served in relation to the surveys.
Accessing Information You May Have Provided
All participants of surveys who have provided personal information when contacting us for any reason and would like to change or modify their information, or opt-out, should send an email directly to info@electronics-cooling.com.
Responses to such inquiries will be sent via email or regular mail within 30 days upon receipt.
