Ethnio Recruiting Privacy Policy
The Basics
We will not use information gathered from you or Ethnio recruiting screeners in any way, except as descibed when you agreed to provide it. Furthermore, any other data or information you provide us (including images, email addresses, etc.) will otherwise be held in total confidence. We will never share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, and don’t engage in cross-marketing or link-referral programs with other sites. If you have opted-in, we will send you updates and information on Ethnio occasionally, but you can always unsubscribe.
Data You Submit
We ask for your email address, and other contact information for the purpose of confirmation emails, authenticating accounts, and for billing purposes. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide this information on a voluntary basis. We will make every effort to ensure that whatever information you provide will be maintained in a secure environment. However, even if you opt out of receiving any communications from Bolt | Peters regarding Ethnio, we reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status or any other matter that might affect our service to you and/or our records on you.
Our web logs collect standard web log entries for each page served, including your IP address, page URL, and time stamp. Web logs help us to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the Ethnio site, and to otherwise provide our service to you.
Data in Recruiting Screeners
Ethnio is a hosted usability service that allows our customers to create recruiting screeners, similar to web surveys. Our customers use our service to post Recruiting Screeners on a website, or send links to those screeners via email or other methods. We have no control over how Ethnio customers use the personal data submitted by users to their recruiting screeners, except if they violate the Ethnio Customer Terms & Conditions, which basically state that they should only be using recruiting screeners for purposed related to usability or ethnographic research. If you suspect someone has violated these terms, please contact us. Screener Respondents may have any relationship to our customers, and Ethnio only acts as a Data Processor (a company that processes Personally Identifiable Information on behalf of a Data Controller) so that each Ethnio Customer acts as a Data Controller (a company that determines the purposes for which and the means by which the Personally Identifiable Information is processed). To process information means to carry out an operation or set of operations on the information, such as collecting, recording, storing, disclosing, or organizing it. Information that Screener Respondents provide to Ethnio Customers passes through our service and resides on our servers, in the most secure manner adhering to industry guidelines. That information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Bolt | Peters or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.
We do employ cookies in the Recruiting Screeners. A cookie is a small text file that our Web server places on a user’s computer hard drive to be a unique identifier. Cookies enable Ethnio to make sure people don't see recruiting screeners more than once, because that would be really annoying. Our cookies expire after 30 days, and don not collect personally identifiable information.
