Confidentiality, Privacy and Integrity
- You will be conducting breakthrough research on highly
sensitive topics touching peoples lives in every
possible aspect, including but not limited to
psychological, social, political, economical and other
areas.
We take the confidentiality
and privacy of our surveys and the people involved very
seriously. If people do not trust us or believe
that a contractor or an employee or a third party can
get access to their information for any other than the
stated reason, they will not be honest, candid or
forthcoming when sharing their information, opinions and
experiences; this will ultimately result in inaccurate
research results.
We have very strict rules and processes to ensure
complete privacy of the surveys and the people involved.
You must sign a non-disclosure and a non-compete
agreements. You may not advertise or share
publicly or
privately with anyone any information about the
research work done at the Institute without a written
permission. This include verbal, email, online posting,

this to prevent anyone in your social network from
connecting any learned information to any person
surveyed, thus enabling us to keep our promises of
complete privacy.
Privacy and confidentiality rules include but not
limited to work references, collected people
information, data collection methodologies, learned
analysis, insights and research networks. Upon
completing the project, you must submit all data and may
not retain any client or data identifying personal
information of the people surveyed or their shared
responses. Privacy protection entail deleting any

the research subjects or data.

indemnification letter for any violation of
confidentiality and privacy laws
