Last Reviewed on: [January 24, 2020]

Jackson Adept Research, Inc. (“Jackson Adept,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has a long-standing commitment to safeguarding the privacy of information entrusted to us. The privacy principles and procedures set forth below (“Privacy Policy”) are intended to tell you how we may collect, use, and disclose information. Jackson Adept is in the business of data collection in order to tailor our clients’ marketing and advertising to better serve consumer needs. We maintain a database of respondent information in order to more efficiently locate and screen potential participants for marketing research studies. While we screen, recruit and host the marketing research studies, it is our clients who determine the nature of the study, as well as the criteria required for participation.

This Privacy Policy applies to all Personal Information (defined below) that Jackson Adept collects, both online and offline. We collect data about users of www.adeptresearch.com and any other websites, blogs, mobile sites, applications, and other interactive features operated now and in the future by or for Jackson Adept (collectively the “Website”); about individuals who create profiles through the Website; about individuals who attend events organized or hosted by us; about our clients or prospective clients (where these are natural persons) or their employees, agents, customers, and representatives; and about others who express an interest in us or with whom we carry on business (and these individuals about whom we collect data are referred to as “you” and “your” in this Privacy Policy). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Information, such as name, address, or phone number, that you voluntarily disclose privately or publicly in a focus group or personal interview to any research representative outside of Jackson Adept.

By accessing or using our Website, including by creating a profile or registering for events, focus groups, or surveys, you signify that you agree with all of the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Website.

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Website. The date this Privacy Policy was last reviewed is identified at the top of the page. By accessing or using the Website following any such changes, you signify that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.

We collect several types of information, including:

· Information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device (“Personal Information”);

· Information that is about you but individually does not identify you (see Other Information We May Collect); and/or

· Information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details.

The information we collect is obtained from the following categories of sources:

· Directly from You – We may collect information you provide to us, or that you authorize a third party to provide to us, including when you create a profile on our Website (“User Profile”), attend events, participate in focus groups, surveys, or other research, communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or in person, and when you apply for a job or otherwise communicate with us.

· Directly from Clients – We may collect information provided to us by our clients.

Registration for our database is voluntary. By creating a User Profile, you consent to Jackson Adept’s use of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Jackson Adept collects Personal Information in order to provide services to our clients. Our services include managing market research, such as focus groups, surveys, and personal interviews, and finding suitable participants that meet our clients’ needs. In the course of providing our services, we may disclose your Personal Information to our service providers pursuant to a written contract that prohibits the service provider from retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Information they receive. We may also use the Personal Information we collect to select market research participants according to our clients’ selection criteria. By registering and creating a User Profile, you expressly agree that Jackson Adept may use your Personal Information to determine your eligibility to participate in our clients’ market research activities. In the process of selecting users to participate in our clients’ market research, we may disclose your Personal Information to the client if doing so is necessary to select eligible participants. Except for disclosure to our service providers and our clients, we will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties at your direction. For example, if you are our client or an employee or representative of our client(s), or those with whom we interact on behalf of our client(s), we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties in connection with the work we perform for you or the client, to further the work for which we were engaged.

Jackson Adept receives compensation from our clients for our market research services.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by either:

· Visiting www.adeptresearch.com and logging in to your User Profile.

You may exercise these rights by accessing www.adeptresearch.com/, navigating to the “Participants” section and clicking “Click here to sign in to see available studies!” link to log in. Once signed in, clicking the “Account Information” tile will open a form allowing you to update directly.

· E-mailing your request with the information required below to: REMOVE@AdeptResearch.com

· Calling us at 310-279-4600 or toll-free at 866-719-2007.

Any request to exercise your rights under this Privacy Policy must contain sufficient information for us to verify your identity. You may verify your identity by logging into your User Profile. Otherwise, to verify your identity in connection with a request for the general categories of Personal Information that we have collected about you or your request to delete Personal Information, we ask that you provide two data points of information that we can match to the information in our files. We will only disclose the specific pieces of information that we have collected about you if we have (1) matched at least three data points provided in your request to the information we have in our database and (2) obtained a signed declaration under penalty of perjury confirming the request.

If you choose to make a request by e-mail, please provide your full name, your e-mail address, home address, and the phone number we would have in our records so that we are able to verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information. Your e-mail should also describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Do not send your social security number, credit card number, passport number, or other identification card number when you submit your request. The Personal Information you provide with your request will only be used to verify your identity. You may use an authorized agent to submit requests under this policy on your behalf. However, we may request copies of written authorization to such agent, and may also request that you independently verify the information contained in the request in order to confirm your identity.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity (and that of an authorized agent) and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We cannot and will not discriminate against any person, including with respect to the quality or cost of our services, on the basis of any request with respect to your Personal Information.

You may have similar rights under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, relating to our disclosure of certain Personal Information to third parties, which are also covered by our compliance with the requirements of this section and our obligations under the CCPA.
