Effective:

This Survey Privacy Notice applies to all surveys conducted by CEIR, the official research division of IAEE, and is part of and incorporated into the IAEE Privacy Policy.

For a full description of the rights and choices you may have related to your Personal Data (as defined below), please visit the IAEE Privacy Policy.

PERSONAL DATA THAT MAY BE CAPTURED AND HOW IT IS USED

CEIR conducts surveys using Verint’s online survey system. In the process of conducting an online survey, the following information that can be used to identify an individual or organization (“Personal Data”) may be collected and used, depending on your inputs and responses: gender, age, education level, job title, contact information, and home address.

Email is used to invite individuals to participate in a CEIR survey. If the email invitation is sent via Verint’s online survey system, email and sometimes an individual’s first name is used to invite the individual to participate in the survey. Email is used to track whether an individual has completed a survey. This enables removing individuals who have responded from additional reminder emails. If partners participate in a survey by sending out email invitations, they handle these issues through their own email systems.

Phone numbers may also be retained and used to call respondents in an effort to remind and encourage them to complete a survey.

In some surveys, CEIR offers a benefit of receiving a copy of report(s) that are generated from the research in exchange for participating. For those wishing to take advantage of this offer, an email needs to be provided and is used for the sole purpose of sending promised report(s).

Additionally, cookies are used to monitor response to a given survey or to enable a respondent to continue completing a survey at a later time or editing a completed one. Cookies are used for these two purposes only.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A SURVEY IS COMPLETED

At the conclusion of a survey – the final, cleaned data set used for data analysis will be anonymized, meaning that all Personal Data will be rendered unidentifiable before any analysis occurs. Only aggregated, group data is analyzed.

RIGHT TO NOT DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA

A respondent has the right not to answer any questions that relate to Personal Data. These questions are not required in a survey. Participation is possible without disclosing any Personal Data not described in this Privacy Notice.

DISABLING SURVEY COOKIES

You can remove or disable optional cookies used in a survey by going to your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.). Be advised this may adversely impact the performance of a survey. For more information about our use of cookies and tracking technologies, please see our Privacy Policy at the link provided below.

UNSUBSCRIBING FROM SURVEY PARTICIPATION

CEIR includes an unsubscribe link in email invitations to participate in a CEIR survey sent via the Verint online survey system. For those wanting to not receive survey invitations in the future, using this link will remove them from receiving survey invitations in the future deployed by CEIR via the Verint survey system.
