form, application, or other SurveyMonkey product. These cookies are used
to ensure that all aspects of the survey operate appropriately and
optimally. For more information please read our Cookies section below and
our Respondent Cookies Notice.
* Examples: We use page tags to allow the email sender (for a survey or form
for example) to measure the performance of email messaging and to learn
how to improve email deliverability and open rates. We also use cookies to
ensure a respondent can only take a survey once (where the Creator has set
this function) and to track completion rates of surveys.
* After completion of a survey, in most cases, you will be redirected to our
website and treated as a website visitor where other cookies may be used
so you should read our Website Visitor section if this is of interest to
you.

* We use device data both to troubleshoot problems with our service and to
make improvements to it.
* We use your device and browser data to provide our services to the
Creator. For example: your IP address is used to ensure that you do not
complete the same survey, form, application or questionnaire twice if the
creator has included settings to avoid this (ballot stuffing).

* We also may infer your geographic location based on your IP address. This
allows Creators to filter responses by inferred geographic location. Note:
we do not collect precise (GPS) location.

artificial intelligence tools on data around the type of survey the
Creator has sent you, the question type, survey responses (at an
aggregated and de-identified/pseudonymized level only), and device and
event data associated with responses to fulfill our contract with
Creators and provide Creators with useful and relevant insights from the
data they have collected using our services. Specifically, we use machine
learning on survey data to help Creators by:
* identifying trends in their responses;
* ongoing training of models to optimize responses;
* making product recommendations and providing guidance on which products
and services work best in different scenarios (For an example of this
check out how SurveyMonkey Genius works here);
* Extracting and analyzing usage patterns, for example, we might identify
when respondents prefer multiple choice versus open text questions and
make predictive response suggestions when certain question types are
selected. We might also use this data to help improve analysis of
responses;
* undertaking personalization for survey Creators;
* improving user experience (for example, by collecting and using device
and browser information from Respondents to improve how our survey
service operates on those devices and in those browsers or by altering
questions to match the responses being provided by a Respondent); and
* identify insightful data trends (which do not disclose Personal Data)
and make recommendations to Creators based on those trends.

opted-out of applying machine learning to responses where it is linked to
a specific product feature in some cases.

7. SECURITY

We have a security statement related to our self-serve businesses (SurveyMonkey
and Wufoo) available to view here. For information about security related to our
other business lines you can speak to a sales representative by completing the
form here.

8. SAFETY OF MINORS

Our services (including creating and responding to surveys) are not intended for
and may not be used by minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 16 (or
under a higher age as provided in certain countries or territories).
SurveyMonkey does not knowingly collect Personal Data from Minors or allow them
to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected Personal Data
from a Minor, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason
to believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

9. DATA TRANSFERS

Your information and data may be processed in and transferred or disclosed in
the United States and countries in which our affiliates are located and in which
our service providers are located or have servers. You can view a list of these
locations in our EU Data Transfer Statement. You can also read about data that
is stored in our other data centers here in our International Data Center
Overview. We ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data offers an adequate
level of protection, for instance by entering into the appropriate back-to-back
agreements with standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms as
approved by the European Commission or relevant data protection authority.

We have also provided a help article which answers some additional questions
about data transfers to the US.

9.1 EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF,
and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles.

SurveyMonkey Inc. has self-certified its compliance under the EU-U.S. Data
Privacy Framework, the UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles.
SurveyMonkey is committed to subjecting all personal information received from
the European Union (EU) member countries, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to
the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the DPF, see
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s.

SurveyMonkey also complies with the onward transfer liability provisions of the
DPF.

When SurveyMonkey receives personal information under the DPF and then transfers
it to a third-party service provider acting as agent on SurveyMonkey's behalf,
SurveyMonkey has certain liability under the DPF if both (i) the agent processes
the information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF and (ii) SurveyMonkey is
responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. In certain situations,
SurveyMonkey may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to lawful
requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law
enforcement requirements.

With respect to Personal Data received or transferred pursuant to the DPF,
SurveyMonkey is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission. Please contact SurveyMonkey as described in Section 11
below if you have any concerns or complaints of any nature. If you have an
unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed
satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution
provider, (free of charge) at https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the DPF website
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/article/How-to-Submit-a-Complaint-Relating-to-a-Participating-Organization-s-Compliance-with-the-DPF-Principles-dpf,
you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have
been exhausted.

10. WHO IS MY DATA CONTROLLER?

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an
application, or provided website feedback to a Creator using SurveyMonkey
services, that Creator is the controller of your data, and SurveyMonkey is the
processor of that data.

For SurveyMonkey Enterprise account holders, your organization’s primary
administrator controls some basic account level information which you input when
setting up your account like name, email address and profile photo.

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an
application, or provided website feedback directly to SurveyMonkey, then
SurveyMonkey is the controller and our use of that data is described in our
SurveyMonkey Research Privacy Notice.

If you are a Creator and have received more responses than your plan allows
(“overage data”), SurveyMonkey is the controller over the overage data until you
change your plan type, or the overage data is deleted in accordance with section
12.4 of our Terms of Use or per the terms of your negotiated contract.

SurveyMonkey is a controller for the account-level data provided by its Creators
and panelists from Contribute and Rewards.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

You may wish to exercise a right to obtain information about yourself or to
correct, update or delete that information. For more information about these
rights you can read about it here. Some of these rights may be subject to some
exceptions or limitations in local law. Please note your rights and choices vary
depending upon your location. We will take reasonable steps to verify your
identity and we will respond to your request to exercise these rights within a
reasonable time (and in all cases within 30 days of receiving a request) subject
to the below for specific categories of person.

11.1 Apply Applicants

For SurveyMonkey Apply users please see information on how to exercise your
rights here.

* 11. 2 Creator

Where you hold an account with any SurveyMonkey service, you are entitled to
a copy of all Personal Data which we hold in relation to you. You also may be
entitled to request that we restrict how we use your data or object to some
aspect of our treatment of your data. You can access a lot of your data in
your own account when you log in. If you want to exercise your rights, please
contact us here.

Depending on your plan type, SurveyMonkey also enables you to export your own
response data from our system in a variety of formats so that you can back it
up or use it with other applications. Alternatively, for assistance in
exporting you can contact us.

* 11.3 Respondent

Where you have responded to a survey, form, questionnaire or application sent
to you by a Creator using a SurveyMonkey service, you will need to reach out
directly to that individual or organization to discuss managing, deleting,
accessing, restricting access to or otherwise withdrawing consent for use of
the information which you provided to them in your responses. SurveyMonkey
does not control your response data and, accordingly, is not in a position to
directly handle these requests in relation to that data. If you are having
difficulties finding this Creator or if you have any other questions after
reading this Privacy Notice, you can contact us through our support team and
we will try our best to help you.

* 11.4 Panelist

If you have created a Rewards or Contribute account with us, you can request
a copy of your Personal Data, delete your Personal Data, or correct it.

* 11.5 Visitor

Where you have visited our website and you want to exercise any of the above
rights please contact our support team here. Alternatively, if your request
is for the right to be forgotten as it relates only to our use of cookies you
can achieve this by clearing the cookies in your browser settings. See our
Help Center article describing how to do this here.

* 11.6 Authorized Agent

If you are a third party organization acting on behalf of a data subject (or
class of data subjects) to exercise data subject rights, we do work with you.
In this case:

* We ask you to follow our process outlined in this Privacy Notice for
security reasons so that we can independently verify the Creator (if it is
a Creator) making any requests to exercise their rights.
* Where applicable, we directly interact with a Creator’s registered email
address, because we authenticate users with username and unique password
and not with other identifying information (e.g., photo ID or similar).

Please do not share other forms of personal identification for data subjects
with us when submitting requests.

11.7 Other rights and choices

* For rights and choices specific to US consumers, please refer to our Region
Specific Privacy Notice. Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify
your identity and the authenticity of your request as described in that
Notice.

to do so).

We assign a unique identification number to each TechFact. The ID will appear on
each copy of the TechFact. Our site is designed so that visitors may look up and
view TechFacts without the collection of any personal information (except for
such visitor's internet protocol (IP) address).
