When do we share information?
We may share information for the reasons set forth below: Can you opt out?
With our clients for their business purposes - for example companies on whose behalf we conduct various kinds of research projects. The following information is shared:
  • We share non-identifiable information from research projects with clients. This includes background information combined with survey opinion data.
 No
  • Clients may request that we share personal information with them for their own marketing purposes. You will be provided an opportunity to agree to having your information shared before it is provided to the client.
 Yes
With and among the Sites and the other companies affiliated with C+R (the "Affiliated Parties") for their business purposes - for example, if you were a member of one panel (for instance, our panel of Hispanic adults, LatinoEyes) and we believe you now qualify for another (for instance, our community of parents, ParentSpeak) No
Within C+R Social Networks - if you post content in a social networking community forum operated by C+R, it will be publicly available to other members of that community, and we cannot ensure that they will respect your privacy. No
For other reasons that may be disclosed to you - in some situations we may disclose information about you for reasons not set forth in this policy. We will disclose those reasons to you either at the time we collect your information or before we share your information with third parties, and will give you information about how to limit the sharing at that time. Yes
With third parties providing services on our behalf - such as companies that help us analyze site data, provide marketing or analytic assistance, fulfill prizes, etc. No
When required by law or law enforcement - including at the request of governmental authorities, in response to a subpoena or complaint, to verify or enforce compliance with our policies if we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the Sites, our users, or others. No
Corporate Change - we may sell, transfer, or otherwise disclose user information, including PII, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets or of a business group, or other fundamental corporate change. No
Our tracking activities and your choices We - or third parties - use browser cookies, web beacons, and Flash cookies. We use these methods to limit multiple responses and registrations, for market research analysis, to facilitate your ability to navigate the Sites, and as part of a verification or screening process. Information collected may be linked to your personal information, and may be shared with third parties for the reasons described in this policy.

You can control browser cookies by modifying your settings in your browser. You can control Flash cookies (these are similar to traditional cookies, but reside in Adobe Flash Player rather than your browser and thus will not be affected by any browser setting changes you make) by going to http://phtshp.us/edMmSQ and following the instructions on that page.

Some parts of the Sites may not operate correctly if you disable cookies, and you may not be able to participate in projects or join panels, or take advantage of some of the Sites’ features.
Security To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place what we believe to be appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

We cannot guarantee, however, that the information we collect will remain secure. The Internet by its nature is a public medium, and we encourage you to use caution when disclosing information online.
Your Rights for California Residents If you have an established business relationship with us you may request from us a list of the categories of personal information we have disclosed to third parties for those third parties’ marketing purposes during the previous calendar year, and a list of those third parties. We will include in that list the names and addresses of the third parties who received the information and used it (or who we believe may have used it) for their own marketing purposes in the last calendar year.
