OTX Researchs Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online informationpractices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice
easy to find, we make it available on all pages of our surveys.
The information we collect:
a. Survey data: We collect all the data and information you agree to provide during the course of the survey.
b. Personal data: Personal data are deemed to be any information pertaining to the personal or
material circumstances of specific or ascertainable natural persons. For example, email address, name, fulladdress etc. are insofar regarded as personal data. As our surveys are for market research purposes only,
we generally DO NOT collect any personal data. Your email address, name, contact information and other
personal data may be collected by the organization that invited you to take this market research survey or
their partner sites before or after this survey. Please be aware that we, OTX Research, are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site
and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by surveys hosted on the
http://www.OpinionsHere.com or http://survey.otxresearch.com domains. Our surveys may also redirect
you to another survey hosted by a client or a third party. We, OTX Research, are not responsible for the
privacy practices of such other research companies. Although we encourage our clients to post their own
privacy policies on their site, we encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Web site, whether they collect personally identifiable information or
not. If you have been invited to take a survey by Survey Exchange, Ampsurveys, or another program
belonging to OTX Corporation, including its Ampario division, please note that these programs have their
own privacy policies that you should refer to.
c. On rare occasions, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information in a survey. For
any personally identifiable information revealed or collected in the survey process, OTX Research, our
employees, affiliates, contractors, subsidiaries, officers and directors receiving such information (collectively
the Research Parties) will only use such personally identifiable information for research purposes, or in
order to contact a potential sweepstakes winner in the research studies that have a related sweepstakes
program, and will dispose of/ or otherwise render useless the personally identifiable information after such
research or related sweepstakes is complete. None of the Research Parties will directly re-contact through
information revealed in the survey, re-sell or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any of the Research Parties may disclosepersonally identifiable information pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise
required by law.
d. Appended data: We also collect data provided by the website that invited you to take the survey.
The data may be appended at the end of the survey entry link in a non-encrypted or encrypted form. It
includes the identity of the survey program that we contracted to invite you to take the survey. It may also

include some session or membership identifiers in order to record and/or reward your participation. In some
cases, it may include some demographic information (such as gender or age) stored on your member profile
on the inviting survey program to check the accuracy of the information provided or to reduce the number of
questions you need to answer.
How we use your data
Your information is used solely for research purposes. We will never try to sell you anything; we are only interested in
your opinions. When you complete a survey, any information you provide to us is combined with responses given by
others, analyzed and reported not individually, but only in the aggregate.
When you take one of our surveys, you may be shown confidential information. In order to protect the integrity and
confidentiality of our clients' research, you must agree not to reveal any information contained in surveys, and do not
copy or distribute any video, graphics or other content from the surveys.
We will not disclose any personally identifiable information (e.g. name, address and other data that identifies you) to
business partners or third parties unless you agree, in advance, that we may do so, or when required to do so by law,
or if there is a risk of injury to you, OTX Research or third parties (other individuals, organizations or businesses), or
to protect our rights or property.
OTX Research supports the rights of survey takers by limiting the use of their information for legitimate marketing
research purposes and is conforming to the following organizations created to uphold ethical survey research:
Advertising Research Foundation (ARF). American Marketing Association(AMA). Marketing Research Association (MRA). Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO). World Association of Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).
