Data Retention
We will retain your information for as long as we are engaged to provide services to the client organisation, as well as an additional 30 days. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
 
Use of Data
Any information shared with Data To The People, the survey administrator, during the completion of a survey is owned solely by the client organisation requesting the survey. By the nature of how our service works, surveys need to be shared via a URL on the Internet. We provide the option to password-protect your surveys if they contain sensitive content. Email addresses uploaded to the system for the purpose of sending survey invitations and email communication are owned solely by the client organisation requesting the survey.
 
Sale of Data
Data collected through surveys is owned solely by the client organisation requesting the survey. We will never share any information uploaded to the system with any 3rd parties. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or similar legal process.
 
Contacting Individuals
We will occasionally contact the individuals or client organisation's representatives about the services in which you have expressed interest. These communications are designed to educate our users on the services offered. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of communications. If you no longer wish to receive our updates, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each update email.
