Privacy

This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for the Trans-Forum Research web site, http://www.trans-forumresearch.com/.

The Trans-Forum Research privacy policy adheres to the principles outlined below.

The core of the Trans-Forum Research privacy policy is this: Trans-Forum Research promotes principles of full disclosure, and opt-in informed consent.  Because Trans-Forum Reseach wants to demostrate its commitment to your privacy, it is disclosing its information practices in full.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the site's privacy statement, please contact Trans-Forum Research.

What personally identifiable information we collect and how we collect it:

We collect aggregate information site-wide, including anonymous site stats.  We also log domain names and/or IP addresses. We may set cookies on your computer to facilitate your use of the Trans-Forum Research web site.   Recent versions of most browsers let you easily see and control cookies.  We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information.  This personal information is only gathered by Trans-Forum Research with your express knowledge and active consent.  If you have joined the Trans-Forum Research Panel, you may be contacted to participate in online studies.  Your informed consent will always be obtained prior to your participation in studies, and the information collected will be subject to this privacy policy.  All information you provide to Trans-Forum Research is collected using secure server pages.  

Your informed consent will always be obtained prior to your participation in studies, and the information collected will be subject to this privacy policy. 

All information you provide to Trans-Forum Research is collected using secure server pages. Any passwords that are set/provided that are required to access Trans-Forum Research services are stored as encrypted. 

How the information is used

In some cases, we may use the information you give us to tailor your web experience on the Trans-Forum Research site, generate anonymous statistics, or to contact you via email (e.g. to send you information you may have requested about Trans-Forum Research activities). The examples of Trans-Forum Research activities for which you can elect to receive information include: 

1) Surveys, interviews, and other study initiatives for which you have agreed to participate and have been randomly selected; 

2) New Trans-Forum Research services that we develop over time. However, you will not actually receive these services unless you choose to do so. In other words, Trans-Forum Research adheres to an opt-in privacy policy. 

Who we share your information with: 

Trans-Forum Research does not share your contact information with other third parties without your consent. If Trans-Forum Research were to share your information, this would only operate on an opt-in basis (i.e. your information will not be shared in this way unless you personally explicitly allow it.)

What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information:

Our policy is that you may opt-out of any use by us of information you have provided to us (and in fact you have to opt-in voluntarily for any such use to happen in the first place.) Our delete/deactivate policy is the same as our opt-out policy - if you want to be removed from our panel roster, mailing lists or other databases, simply fill out the form in the applicable section. 

Your consent to this Agreement: 

By using the Trans-Forum Research web site and registering for services provided by Trans-Forum Research, you consent to the collection and use of information by Trans-Forum Research as specified above. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it.
