Privacy Policy
1. At PKG, the focus of our information-gathering activities is the study of business and consumer trends, demographics and aggregate practices. We value the participation of each study participant, along with their commitment to their respective organizations. Therefore, we make protecting the personal privacy of each participant, insulating each participant's personal information from all reported study results, and maintaining the anonymity of each participant's organizational affiliations, a fundamental responsibility and priority in each study that we conduct.

2.What We Do. We gather information to study business and consumer purchasing, employment, product and opinion trends, demographics, and practices. All information that we gather is tabulated and prepared for review and distribution in aggregate form. We prepare our studies, using this aggregate information, for clients who are businesses that provide products and services for commercial interests and consumers. We provide our clients only aggregated data and information, and not with any personal or identifying information regarding our survey participants.

3.Our Commitment. The integrity of our work depends on honest and candid survey responses and an unbiased review of public information and data. Therefore, we will always make it a fundamental responsibility of our company to assure the privacy of our survey participants and the organizations with which they are associated.

4.Types of Information that We Collect. We collect information from written questions posed to survey participants. Our survey questions may include inquiries regarding opinions, product and service uses and preferences, and general information such as a participant's gender, level of education, age, marital status, and general type of employment, depending on the type of study that we are conducting. We also gather general information from public data and records, such as population, housing trends and types, traffic patterns, regional income, education and employment statistics, and similar information. We include all of this information in our studies on an aggregate basis. We make no effort to match public information or organizational membership with individual survey responses.

5.What We Do Not Disclose. We do gather personal and identifying information about individual survey participants but we do not communicate such information to our clients. Additionally, we do not reference or otherwise communicate to our clients, directly or indirectly, any information regarding the organizations with which survey participants are associated in any of our studies.

6.What We Do With Personal Information We Gather or May Receive. Once a participant completes and returns a survey, we retain his or her personal information as part of his or her personal profile. A participant’s personal profile also may include their survey responses and other public data. We maintain a personal profile for respondents because our clients request data or information from target groups, that is groups that possess or can be defined by certain characteristics. The participants’ personal profiles enable PKG to construct and specify to our client the group of respondents that most closely matches our client’s desired or target group.

7.Our Security Procedures. We make every effort to safeguard respondent information. We restrict access to respondent's personal information to our employees who need to know that information. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. After a respondent has competed participation in our program, we destroy all physical and electronic records associated with such participant, other than information that is included in our aggregate studies.
