Privacy Policy

Versions: October 14th, 2020

Effective Date: October 14th, 2020

This privacy policy explains how SurveyLex handles your personal information. We value your trust, so we’ve strived to present this policy in clear, plain language instead of legalese. The policy is structured so you can quickly find answers to the questions that interest you the most.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to Sonde Health Inc. include saysurvey.com, NeuroLex, and SurveyLex.

This privacy policy applies to all the products, services and websites offered by SurveyLex and its affiliates, except where otherwise noted. We refer to those products, services and websites collectively as the “Services” in this policy. Some Services have supplementary privacy statements that explain in more detail our specific privacy practices in relation to them. Unless otherwise noted, our Services are provided by SurveyLex inside of the United States.

SurveyLex offers online and mobile survey tools related to the creation, deployment, analysis, and administration of voice-based surveys. By using the SurveyLex Services, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Please contact SurveyLex if you have any unresolved privacy or data use concern @ jschwoebel@sondehealth.com.

Key Privacy Points

For survey creators:

For survey respondents:

Survey Creators & Survey Respondents

SurveyLex is used by survey creators (people who create and conduct surveys online) and survey respondents (people who answer those surveys). The information we receive from survey creators and survey respondents and how we handle it differs, so we have split this privacy policy into two parts.

Privacy for Survey Creators

What information does SurveyLex collect?

When you use SurveyLex, we collect information relating to you and your use of our Services from a variety of sources. These are listed below. The sections afterward describe what we do with this information.

Information we collect directly from you:

  1. Registration information. You need a SurveyLex account before you can create surveys on SurveyLex. When you register for an account, we collect your username, password and email address. If you choose to register by using a third party account (such as your Google or Facebook account), please see “Information from third parties” below.
  2. Billing information. If you make a payment to SurveyLex, your billing information is collected and processed by a third party payment processor on our behalf. We require you to provide your billing details, such as a name, address, email address and financial information corresponding to your selected method of payment (e.g. a credit card number and expiration date or a bank account number). If you provide a billing address, we will regard that as the location of the account holder.
  3. Address book information. We may allow you to import email addresses or phone numbers into an Address Book so you can easily invite people to take your surveys via email or text message. We don’t contact these individuals except at your direction.
  4. Survey data. We store your survey data (e.g. audio data, questions, and answers) for you.
  5. Other data you intentionally share. We may collect your personal information or data if you submit it to us in other contexts. For example, if you provide us with a testimonial, or participate in a SurveyLex contest.

We don’t share or abuse your respondents’ email addresses. Rest assured, SurveyLex will not email your survey respondents or people in your Address Book except at your direction. We definitely don’t sell those email addresses to any third parties.

Information we may collect about you when you interact with the Services:

How does SurveyLex use the information we collect?

We treat your survey questions and responses as information that is private to you (except if you have made your survey questions and responses available via a public link). We know that, in many cases, you want to keep your survey questions and responses (which we collectively refer to as “survey data”) private. Unless you decide to share your survey questions and/or responses with the public (such as by making the survey questions and responses available via a public link), we do not use your survey data other than as described in this privacy policy or unless we have your express consent. We do not sell your survey data to third parties without your permission.

Generally, we use the information we collect from you in connection with providing our services to you and, on your behalf, to your survey respondents. Specific ways we use this information are listed below. However, this privacy policy is not intended to restrict our use of survey questions or responses that you have chosen to make available online through a public link.

With whom do we share or disclose your information?

We recognize that you have entrusted us with safeguarding the privacy of your information. Because that trust is very important to us, the only time we will disclose or share your personal information or survey data with a third party is when we have done one of three things, in accordance with applicable law: (a) given you notice, such as in this privacy policy; (b) obtained your express consent, such as through an opt-in checkbox; or (c) de-identified or aggregated the information so that individuals or other entities cannot reasonably be identified by it.

We may disclose:

What are your rights to your information?

You can:

For how long do we retain your data?

We generally retain your data for as long as you have an account with us, or to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Data that is deleted from our servers may remain as residual copies on offsite backup media for up to approximately 36 months afterward.

Security, cookies and other important information

Changes to this privacy policy. We may modify this privacy policy at any time, but if we do so, we will notify you by publishing the changes on this website. If we determine the changes are material, we will provide you with additional, prominent notice as is appropriate under the circumstances, such as via email or in another conspicuous manner reasonably designed to notify you. If, after being informed of these changes, you do not cancel your subscription and continue to use our services beyond the advance-notice period, you will be considered as having consented to the changes in our privacy policy. If you disagree with the terms of this privacy policy or any updated privacy policy, you may close your account at any time.

Privacy for Survey Respondents

What information does SurveyLex collect?

When you respond to surveys hosted by SurveyLex, we collect, on behalf and upon instructions of survey creators, information relating to you and your use of our services from a variety of sources. These are listed below. The sections afterward describe what we do with this information.

Information we collect directly from you:

Are your survey responses anonymous? You will need to ask the survey creator this as it depends on how they have chosen to configure their survey. Specific questions in the survey may ask you for your personal information or data that could be used to identify you.

Information we collect about you from other sources:

Providing survey responses is voluntary. Remember, you can always choose not to provide an answer to any given survey question (especially those requesting your personal information). However, sometimes this will prevent you from completing a survey if the survey creator has marked that question as requiring an answer.

How does SurveyLex use the information we collect?

Your survey responses are owned and managed by the survey creator, and we treat that information as private to the survey creator, except if the survey creator has made the questions and responses available via a public link. Please contact the survey creator directly to understand how they will use your survey responses. Some survey creators may provide you with a privacy policy or notice at the time you take their survey and we encourage you to review that to understand how the survey creator will handle your responses. SurveyLex does not sell survey responses to third parties without the survey creator’s permission and we do not use any contact details collected in our customers’ surveys to contact survey respondents.

We also use the information we collect from you (including usage data, device data, referral data and information from page tags) to manage and improve our services, for research purposes, and for the various purposes described in the Survey Creator version of this privacy policy.

With whom do we share or disclose your information?

SurveyLex does not sell your survey responses unless you expressly permit us to! We will share your survey responses with third parties only as described in this privacy policy.

We disclose:

SurveyLex reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account, by placing a prominent notice on our site, and/or by updating any privacy information on this page. Your continued use of the Site and/or Services available through this Site after such modifications will constitute your:
