touching peoples lives in every possible aspect,

We take the confidentiality and privacy of our

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.

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

surveyed, thus enabling us to keep our promises of
complete privacy.

methodologies, learned analysis, insights and
