As always, you have the option not to receive these types of communications (see  'Opt-out').  Uses of Information  SurveyWriter is a web-based service for conducting surveys. Any information shared with SurveyWriter  during the creation of a survey is owned solely by the administrator of that survey. By the nature or how  our service works, surveys need to be shared via a URL on the Internet. We provide the option to  password protect your surveys if they contain sensitive content.  Email addresses uploaded to the system for the purpose of sending survey invitations and email  communication are owned solely by the survey administrator. We will never share any information  uploaded to the system with any 3rd parties.  Data collected through surveys is owned solely by the survey administrator. By default, the data is only  accessible by providing a username and password and logging into the site. There is the option to  share online reports via a URL from the administrative account. The survey administrator controls this  option. We will never use any of the data collected.  Communications from the Site  Ongoing Communication and Product Updates  We will occasionally send you information on product enhancements, new services, and additional  instruction on utilizing our services. These communications are designed to educate our users on the  services offered. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of  communications. Please see the 'Opt-out'.  Service-related Announcements  We will send you strictly service-related announcements when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if  our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Service-related  emails are also sent confirming billing transactions, account upgrades, and account cancellations.  Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do  not wish to receive them, you have the option to cancel your account.  Information Sharing and Disclosure  Personally Identifiable Information Sharing with Partners  If a user specifically requests a service from one of our partnering companies, their personally  identifying information will be shared. The partnering company may contact them directly regarding  their inquiry. Any requests of partnering companies are initiated solely by the user and it will be clearly  indicated that a partnering company offers the requested service. We reserve the right to disclose your  personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary  to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.  Opt-out  If you no longer wish to receive our product updates, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the  instructions included in each product update email.  Cookies  A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes.

You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your  Internet browser's 'help' file.  If you reject cookies, the site will not function properly after logging in to your administrative account.  Clear Gifs  We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by  recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness  of our marketing campaigns.

Security  We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us,  both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or  method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially  acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.  Changes in this Privacy Statement  If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement and  other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it,  and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
