PRIVACY & SECURITY


CLEARLYRATED, INC. COMPREHENSIVE PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date:  May 26th, 2020

ClearlyRated, Inc. (“ClearlyRated”) is a survey based research and technology
company.  This privacy policy covers all ClearlyRated owned web sites (the
“Sites”) and all services available through the Sites.  If you have questions or
concerns regarding this policy, you should contact us at
privacy@clearlyrated.com or 1220 Main St Suite 400, Vancouver, WA 98660.


Privacy Shield


ClearlyRated complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Frameworks (Privacy Shield) as set forth by the U.S. Department of
Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information
transferred from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the
United States in reliance on Privacy Shield.  ClearlyRated has certified to the
Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles with
respect to such information. If there is any conflict between the terms in this
privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles
shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our
certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

When ClearlyRated receives personal information under the Privacy Shield and
then transfers it to a third-party service provider acting as an agent on
ClearlyRated's behalf, ClearlyRated has certain liability under the Privacy
Shield if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent
with the Privacy Shield and (ii) ClearlyRated is responsible for the event
giving rise to the damage.

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, ClearlyRated commits to
resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information.
 European Union, United Kingdom, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or
complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact ClearlyRated
at:

privacy@clearlyrated.com
1220 Main St Suite 400
Vancouver, WA 98660

ClearlyRated commits to cooperate with the panel established by the EU data
protection authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and
Information Commissioner, as applicable and comply with the advice given by the
panel and Commissioner with regard to data transferred from the EU and
Switzerland.

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over ClearlyRated’s compliance
with the Privacy Shield.  In certain situations, we may be required to disclose
personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to
meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website
https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=How-to-Submit-a-Complaint, you may
invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been
exhausted.


Surveying Company and Survey Respondent

ClearlyRated is used by surveying companies (individual companies that use
ClearlyRated to conduct online surveys on their behalf) and survey respondents
(people who answer those surveys).  The data received and processed from a
surveying company and a survey respondent is different and therefore the
remainder of this privacy policy is divided by those two different roles.
 Please review the appropriate section based on your contact with ClearlyRated.


Surveying Company

Information Collected

When you use ClearlyRated, we collect information relating to you and your use
of our services from a variety of sources.

Account information. When you register for an ClearlyRated account, we collect
your personal contact information (name, company, phone number, title, email,
and a password).

Billing information. If you make a payment to ClearlyRated, we require you to
provide your billing details, such as a name, address, email address and
financial information corresponding to your selected method of payment.

Device data. We collect data from the device and application you use to access
our services, such as your IP address, operating system version, device type,
system and performance information, and browser type. We may also infer your
geographic location based on your IP address.

Information from page tags. We use third party tracking services that employ
cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect aggregated and
anonymized data about visitors to our websites. This data includes usage and
user statistics. Emails sent by ClearlyRated or by users through our services
may include page tags that allow the sender to collect information about who
opened those emails and clicked on links within them. We do this to allow the
email sender to measure the performance of their email messaging and to learn
how to improve email deliverability and open rates.

Referral data. If you arrive at an ClearlyRated website from an external source
(such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about
the source that referred you to us.

Survey Respondent information. In order for us to send email survey invitations
to potential survey respondents we must collect from you basic contact
information, including email address, for all of the individuals you would like
to send a survey to.  You have the option to provide additional custom data for
each individual, along with segmentation information. We don’t use any of this
information for our own purposes or email them except at your direction.

Survey data. We store your survey data (questions and responses) for you.

Usage data. We collect usage data about you whenever you interact with our
services. This may include which webpages you visit, what you click on, when you
performed those actions, and so on. Additionally, like most websites today, our
web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those
servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including
originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our
site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, and
timestamps.

Information Use

Generally, we use the information we collect from you in connection with
providing our services to you and, on your behalf, to your survey respondents.

Provide our services. This includes providing you with customer support, which
requires us to access your information to assist you.

Manage our services. We internally use your information, including certain
survey data, for the following limited purposes:

 * To monitor, maintain, and improve our services and features. We internally
   perform statistical and other analysis on information we collect (including
   usage data, device data, referral data, question and response data and
   information from page tags) to analyze and measure user behavior and trends,
   to understand how people use our services, and to monitor, troubleshoot and
   improve our services, including to help us evaluate or devise new features.
   We may use your information for internal purposes designed to keep our
   services secure and operational, such as for troubleshooting and testing
   purposes, and for service improvement, marketing, research and development
   purposes.
 * To prevent potentially illegal activities.
 * To screen for and prevent undesirable or abusive activity.

Contact you about your service or account. We occasionally send you
communications of a transactional nature (e.g. service-related announcements,
billing-related matters, changes to our services or policies, a welcome email
when you first register). You can’t opt out of these communications since they
are required to provide our services to you.

Contact you for marketing purposes. We will only do this if you have consented
to ClearlyRated contacting you for this purpose.  You may opt out of these
communications at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in them.

Respond to legal requests and prevent harm. If we receive a subpoena or other
legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to
respond.


Information Sharing

The only times we will disclose or share your personal information or survey
data with a third party is under one of the circumstances identified below,  we
have obtained your express consent, or aggregated the information so that
individuals or other entities cannot reasonably be identified by it. Where
required by law, we will obtain your express consent prior to disclosing or
sharing any personal information.

We may disclose:

Your information to our service providers. We use service providers who help us
to provide you with our services. We give relevant persons working for some of
these providers access to your information, but only to the extent necessary for
them to perform their services for us. We also implement reasonable contractual
and technical protections to ensure the confidentiality of your personal
information and data is maintained, used only for the provision of their
services to us, and handled in accordance with this privacy policy.

Your email address to your organization. If the email address under which you’ve
registered your account belongs to or is controlled by an organization, we may
disclose that email address to that organization in order to help it understand
who associated with that organization uses ClearlyRated.

Aggregated or de-identified information to third parties to improve or promote
our services. No individuals can reasonably be identified or linked to any part
of the information we share with third parties to improve or promote our
services.

The presence of a cookie to advertise our services. We may ask advertising
networks and exchanges to display ads promoting our services on other websites.
We may ask them to deliver those ads based on the presence of a cookie, but in
doing so will not share any other personal information with the advertiser. Our
advertising network partners may use cookies and page tags or web beacons to
collect certain non-personal information about your activities on this and other
websites to provide you with targeted advertising based upon your interests. If
you do not wish to have this information used for the purpose of serving you
such targeted ads, you may opt-out at http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/ or, if
you’re located in the European Union, at http://www.youronlinechoices.eu. You
will continue to receive generic ads.

Your information if required or permitted by law. We may disclose your
information as required or permitted by law, or when we believe that disclosure
is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others,
and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or other
legal process served on us.

Your information if there’s a change in business ownership or structure. If
ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, or we undertake a
corporate reorganization (including a merger or consolidation) or any other
action or transfer between ClearlyRated entities, you expressly consent to
ClearlyRated transferring your information to the new owner or successor entity
so that we can continue providing our services. If required, ClearlyRated will
notify the applicable data protection agency in each jurisdiction of such a
transfer in accordance with the notification procedures under applicable data
protection laws.

Limiting Use and Disclosure of Information

You have the right to request that we not use or disclose any of your
information as described in the Information Use and Information Sharing sections
above. However, if the use or disclosure of your information is necessary for us
to provide services to you the only way we can limit use and disclosure of that
information is to discontinue providing services to you. You can make that
request via the contact information provided in this privacy policy.

Rights to Collected Information

Update your account details. You can update your account information on your My
Account page. Information is updated immediately.

Access and correct your personal information. As an account holder, you may
access and correct certain personal information that ClearlyRated holds about
you by visiting your My Account page.  Some account holders and other
individuals (including those whose information we receive under the EU-U.S.
Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield  Framework) have
certain legal rights to obtain information of whether we hold personal
information about them, to access personal information we hold about them, and
to obtain its correction, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate
circumstances.  For some information, these rights may be exercised through the
My Account page mentioned above, and in all cases, requests to exercise these
rights may be directed to our customer support team. These rights are subject to
some exceptions, such as where giving you access would have an unreasonable
impact on the privacy of other individuals. We will respond to your request to
exercise these rights within a reasonable time and, where required by law or
where we deem it otherwise appropriate and practicable to do so, we will honor
your request.

Download/backup your survey data. Depending on what subscription plan you have,
we provide you with the ability to export, share and publish your survey data in
a variety of formats. This allows you to create your own backups or conduct
offline data analysis.

Delete your survey data. As long as you maintain an account with us, we may
retain your deleted data for a limited time in case you delete something by
accident and need to restore it (which you can request by contacting customer
support). To the extent permitted by law, we will permanently delete your data
if you request to cancel your account.

Cancel your account. To cancel and delete your account, please contact customer
support. Deleting your account will cause all the survey data in the account to
be permanently deleted from our systems within a reasonable time period, as
permitted by law, and will disable your access to any other services that
require a ClearlyRated account. We will respond to any such request, and any
appropriate request to access, correct, update or delete your personal
information within the time period specified by law (if applicable) or without
excessive delay. We will promptly fulfill requests to delete personal data
unless the request is not technically feasible or such data is required to be
retained by law (in which case we will block access to such data, if required by
law).

Other Important Information

Changes to this privacy policy. We may modify this privacy policy at any time,
but if we do so, we will notify you by publishing the changes on this website.
If we determine the changes are material, we will provide you with additional,
prominent notice as is appropriate under the circumstances, such as via email or
in another conspicuous manner reasonably designed to notify you. If, after being
informed of these changes, you do not cancel your subscription and continue to
use our services beyond the advance-notice period, you will be considered as
having expressly consented to the changes in our privacy policy. If you disagree
with the terms of this privacy policy or any updated privacy policy, you may
close your account at any time.

Security. Details about ClearlyRated’s security practices are available in our
Security Statement.

Data locations. Our servers are based in the United States, so your personal
information will be hosted and processed by us in the United States.

Cookies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies on our
websites. Cookies are small bits of data we store on the device you use to
access our services so we can recognize repeat users. Each cookie expires after
a certain period of time, depending on what we use it for. We use cookies and
similar technologies for several reasons:

 * For security reasons. We use cookies to authenticate your identity, such as
   confirming whether you are currently logged into ClearlyRated.
 * To provide you with personalized content. We may store user preferences in
   cookies to personalize the content you see. We also use cookies to ensure
   that users can’t retake certain surveys that they have already completed.
 * To improve our services. We use cookies to measure your usage of our websites
   and track referral data, as well as to occasionally display different
   versions of content to you. This information helps us to develop and improve
   our services and optimize the content we display to users.
 * To advertise to you. We, or our service providers and other third parties we
   work with, may place cookies when you visit our website and other websites or
   when you open emails that we send you, in order to provide you with more
   tailored marketing content (about our services or other services), and to
   evaluate whether this content is useful or effective. For instance, we may
   evaluate which ads are clicked on most often, and whether those clicks lead
   users to make better use of our tools, features and services. If you don’t
   want to receive ads that are tailored to you based on your anonymous online
   activity, you may “opt out” of many of the companies that are involved in
   such tailoring by going to http://www.aboutads.info. Opting out in this way
   does not mean you will not receive any ads; it just means that you will not
   receive ads from such companies that have been tailored to you based on your
   activities and inferred preferences.
 * Google Analytics. In addition to the above, we have implemented on our
   websites and other services certain Google Analytics features that support
   Display Advertising, including re-targeting. Visitors to our websites may opt
   out of certain types of Google Analytics tracking, customize the Google
   Display Network ads by using the Google Ad Preferences Manager and learn more
   about how Google serves ads by viewing its Customer Ads Help Center. If you
   do not wish to participate in Google Analytics, you may also download the
   Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Online Tracking. We currently do not process or comply with any web browser’s
“do not track” signal or other similar mechanism that indicates a request to
disable online tracking of individual users who visit our websites or use our
services (unless otherwise stated in a service-specific privacy statement).

Safety of Children and COPPA. Our services are not intended for and may not
permissibly be used by individuals under the age of 13. ClearlyRated does not
knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 13 or allow them
to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data
from such a person, we may delete this information without notice. If you have
reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

Additional Information for European Union Users

“Personal data”. For users located in the EU, references to “personal
information” in this policy are equivalent to what is commonly referred to as
“personal data” in the EU.

About IP addresses. Our servers record the incoming IP addresses of visitors to
our websites (whether or not the visitor has a ClearlyRated account) and store
the IP addresses in log files. We use these log files for purposes such as
system administration and maintenance, record keeping, tracking referring web
sites, inferring your location, and security purposes (e.g. controlling abuse,
spam and DDOS attacks). We also store IP addresses along with certain actions
you take on our system.  By agreeing to this privacy policy, you expressly
consent to ClearlyRated using your IP address for the foregoing purposes. If you
wish to opt out from the foregoing consent to use your IP address, you must
cancel your account (if you have one) or not respond to a survey if requested to
do so.

Data controller. ClearlyRated is the data controller for billing and other
account information that we collect from users in the EU. However, the data
controller for survey data is the surveying company. The surveying company
determines how their survey questions and responses are used and disclosed.
ClearlyRated only processes such survey data in accordance with the instructions
and permissions (including those given under this privacy policy) selected by
the surveying company.

Accessing and correcting your personal data. You have the right to access and
correct the personal information that ClearlyRated holds about you. This right
may be exercised by visiting your account’s My Account page or by contacting
customer support.

Your responsibilities. By using our services, you agree to comply with
applicable data protection requirements when collecting and using your survey
data, such as requirements to inform respondents about the specific uses and
disclosures of their data.

Consents. By using any ClearlyRated service you expressly consent to the
following:

 * You consent to the collection, use, disclosure and processing of your
   personal data in the manner described in this privacy policy, including our
   procedures relating to cookies, IP addresses and log files.
 * Our servers are based in the United States, so your personal data will be
   primarily processed by us in the United States. You consent to the transfer
   and processing of your personal data in the United States by ClearlyRated and
   by our service providers.
 * You consent and agree that we may transfer your data to data processors
   located in countries, including the United States, which do not have data
   protection laws that provide the same level of protection that exists in
   countries in the European Economic Area. Your consent is voluntary, and you
   may revoke your consent by opting out at any time. Please note that if you
   opt-out, we may no longer be able to provide you our services.
 * You consent to us sharing your personal data with relevant persons working
   for service providers who assist us to provide our services.
 * If you have enabled cookies on your web browser, you consent to our use of
   cookies as described in this privacy policy.

Survey Respondent

Information Collected

When you respond to surveys hosted by ClearlyRated, we collect, on behalf and
upon instructions (including the ones provided in this privacy policy) of
surveying companies, information relating to you and your use of our services
from a variety of sources. These are listed below.

Survey responses. We collect and store the survey responses that you submit. The
surveying company is responsible for this data and manages it. A survey may ask
you to provide personal information or data. If you have any questions about a
survey you are taking, please contact the surveying company directly as
ClearlyRated is not responsible for the content of that survey. The surveying
company is usually the same person that invited you to take the survey and
sometimes they have their own privacy policy. In any case where we specifically
tell you, usually through the email invitation, your survey response is
anonymous our system will not allow the surveying company to see your survey
response in connection with any identifying information that would allow the
surveying company to know conclusively it was you that completed the survey. The
surveying company still owns your survey response in that case, but they will
not be able to see that it was you who completed it.

Usage data. We collect usage data about you whenever you interact with our
services. This may include which webpages you visit, what you click on, when you
performed those actions, and so on. Additionally, as with most websites today,
our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses
those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access,
including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed
on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, and
timestamps.

Device data. We collect data from the device and application you use to access
our services, such as your IP address, operating system version, device type,
system and performance information, and browser type. We may also infer your
geographic location based on your IP address. Your IP address will be linked to
your survey responses.

Referral data. We record information about the source that referred you to a
survey.

Information from page tags. We use third party tracking services that employ
cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect aggregated and
anonymized data about visitors to our websites. This data includes usage and
user statistics.

Your email address. We collect your email address and basic contact information
when the surveying company requests that we survey you on their behalf. We don’t
use this to send you email except at the direction of a surveying company. The
emails we send on behalf of a surveying company appear to come from that
surveying company’s email address. If you no longer want to be contacted by a
surveying company, please contact the surveying company directly or follow the
unsubscribe link in the footer of the survey invitation email you received to
opt-out of future surveys from the surveying company.

Providing survey responses is voluntary. You can always choose not to provide an
answer to any given survey question.

Information Use

Your survey responses are owned and managed by the surveying company, and we
treat that information as private to the surveying company. Please contact the
surveying company directly to understand how they will use your survey
responses. ClearlyRated does not sell survey responses to third parties and we
do not use any contact details collected in our customers’ surveys to contact
survey respondents.

We also use the information we collect from you (including usage data, device
data, referral data and information from page tags) to manage and improve our
services, for research purposes, and for the various purposes described in the
Surveying Company version of this privacy policy.

Information Sharing and Limiting Use

ClearlyRated does not sell your survey responses. We will share your survey
responses with third parties only as described in this privacy policy.

We disclose your survey responses to surveying companies. We host surveys for
surveying companies, but they are the primary curator of survey data. Anything
you expressly disclose in your survey responses will be provided to them. Please
contact the surveying company directly to understand how they might share your
survey responses.

Contact the surveying company to limit the use and disclosure of personal data
collected in a survey response. We host surveys for surveying companies, but
they are the primary curator of survey data. Anything you expressly disclose in
your survey responses will be provided to them and to limit the use and
disclosure of that information you should contact the surveying company. As
previously described ClearlyRated does not sell your survey responses and will
only share with a third party as described in this privacy policy.

Rights to Collected Information

Contact the surveying company to access and correct your responses and personal
information. Because we collect survey responses on behalf of surveying
companies, you will need to contact the surveying company if you have any
questions about the survey, or if you want to access, update, or delete anything
in your responses. You may request access to and correction of the personal
information we hold about you by contacting customer support, but in most cases
ClearlyRated cannot provide you with this access since survey responses are the
surveying company’s private information and giving you access may have an
unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals. We will respond to your
request for access or correction within a reasonable time and, where reasonable
and practicable to do so, we will provide access to your personal information in
the manner requested by you.

Opt out of receiving surveys. You may opt out of receiving email invitations to
take surveys which are sent by surveying companies via ClearlyRated.

Other Important Information

Changes to this privacy policy. We may modify this privacy policy at any time,
but if we do so, we will notify you by publishing the changes on this website.
If we determine the changes are material, we will provide you with additional,
prominent notice as is appropriate under the circumstances, such as via email or
in another conspicuous manner reasonably designed to notify you. If, after being
informed of these changes, you continue to use our services beyond the
advance-notice period, you will be considered as having expressly consented to
the changes in our privacy policy. If you disagree with the terms of this
privacy policy or any updated privacy policy, you may not respond to a survey.

Security. Details about ClearlyRated’s security practices are available in our
Security Statement.

Data locations. Our servers are based in the United States, so your personal
information will be hosted and processed by us in the United States.

Cookies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies on our
websites. Cookies are small bits of data we store on the device you use to
access our services so we can recognize repeat users. Each cookie expires after
a certain period of time, depending on what we use it for. We use cookies and
similar technologies for several reasons:

 * To provide you with personalized content. We may store user preferences in
   cookies to personalize the content you see. We also use cookies to ensure
   that users can’t retake certain surveys that they have already completed.
 * To improve our services. We use cookies to measure your usage of our websites
   and track referral data, as well as to occasionally display different
   versions of content to you. This information helps us to develop and improve
   our services and optimize the content we display to users.
 * Google Analytics. In addition to the above, we have implemented on our
   websites and other services certain Google Analytics features that support
   Display Advertising, including re-targeting. Visitors to our websites may opt
   out of certain types of Google Analytics tracking, customize the Google
   Display Network ads by using the Google Ad Preferences Manager and learn more
   about how Google serves ads by viewing its Customer Ads Help Center. If you
   do not wish to participate in Google Analytics, you may also download the
   Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
   

Online Tracking. We currently do not process or comply with any web browser’s
“do not track” signal or other similar mechanism that indicates a request to
disable online tracking of individual users who visit our websites or use our
services (unless otherwise stated in a service-specific privacy statement).

Safety of Children and COPPA. Our services are not intended for and may not
permissibly be used by individuals under the age of 13. ClearlyRated does not
knowingly collect personal data from persons under 13 or allow them to register.
If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from such a
person, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason to
believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

Additional Information for European Union Users

“Personal data”. For users located in the EU, references to “personal
information” in this policy are equivalent to what is commonly referred to as
“personal data” in the EU.

About IP addresses. Our servers record the incoming IP addresses of visitors to
our websites (whether or not the visitor has a ClearlyRated account) and store
the IP addresses in log files. We use these log files for purposes such as
system administration and maintenance, record keeping, tracking referring web
sites, inferring your location, and security purposes (e.g. controlling abuse,
spam and DDOS attacks). We also store IP addresses along with certain actions
you take on our system.  By agreeing to this privacy policy, you expressly
consent to ClearlyRated using your IP address for the foregoing purposes. If you
wish to opt out from the foregoing consent to use your IP address, you must
cancel your account (if you have one) or not respond to a survey if requested to
do so.

Data controller. ClearlyRated is the data controller for  billing and other
account information that we collect from users in the EU. However, the data
controller for survey data is the surveying company. The surveying company
determines how their survey questions and responses are used and disclosed.
ClearlyRated only processes such survey data in accordance with the instructions
and permissions (including those given under this privacy policy) selected by
the surveying company.

Accessing and correcting your personal data. You have the right to access and
correct the personal information that ClearlyRated holds about you. This right
may be exercised by contacting privacy@clearlyrated.com.

Your responsibilities. By using our services, you agree to comply with
applicable data protection requirements when collecting and using your survey
data, such as requirements to inform respondents about the specific uses and
disclosures of their data.

Consents. By responding to a survey delivered to you by ClearlyRated on behalf
of a surveying company:

 * You consent to the collection, use, disclosure and processing of your
   personal data in the manner described in this privacy policy, including our
   procedures relating to cookies, IP addresses and log files.
 * Our servers are based in the United States, so your personal data will be
   primarily processed by us in the United States. You consent to the transfer
   and processing of your personal data in the United States by ClearlyRated and
   by our service providers.
 * You consent and agree that we may transfer your data to data processors
   located in countries, including the United States, which do not have data
   protection laws that provide the same level of protection that exists in
   countries in the European Economic Area. Your consent is voluntary, and you
   may revoke your consent by opting out at any time. Please note that if you
   opt-out, we may no longer be able to provide you our services.
 * You consent to us sharing your personal data with relevant persons working
   for service providers who assist us to provide our services.
 * If you have enabled cookies on your web browser, you consent to our use of
   cookies as described in this privacy policy.
