Collection, Use, Disclosure of Information
Podtrac does not collect personally identifiable information from respondents to our surveys. The information you provide is used for compiling anonymous statistics only and is not identifiable back to any individual.
Our site automatically creates logs regarding user sessions on Podtrac.com, such as features that you use, the actions that you take, and the information that you access. We generally use this information in statistical and aggregate formats to assess the effectiveness of our site and to better understand consumer priorities and interests.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of data stored on a user's hard drive that contain information about a user. Our survey technology uses cookies to limit your participation to once per survey. These cookies are used only for this purpose and are intended to be used only by our survey site.
Choice and Data Access
Survey responses are stored anonymously on servers operated by Podtrac and its contractors. This data is not accessible at an individual level for review or edit.
Data Security/Integrity
Podtrac employs industry standard security measures to protect the security of all data. Data stored on Podtrac's servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the public. Only authorized employees and contractors have access to the data you provide and that access is limited by need. Our employees and contractors who have access to this data have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of this information.
Children
Podtrac understands the importance of protecting children's privacy in the online interactive world. Podtrac panels are not open to children under 13 years of age.
Safe Harbor
The European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. Podtrac adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information see www.export.gov/safeharbor.
