HOW WE USE AND COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION IN RESEARCH
When conducting research studies on behalf of clients, KR&I may be required to collect or obtain Personal Information from individuals directly or in partnership with third-party research partners.
All third-party research partners are required to have a privacy policy in place that is in accordance with applicable data protection laws. A list of partners and their privacy policies may be provided upon request.
KR&I treats any Personal Information provided with the utmost care. We employ legally required technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Information and participants privacy. Participants identifying information will only be used, as necessary, for the purposes of the specific client’s research needs. Personal Information will not be shared with or sold to third-party individuals or businesses for marketing purposes.
Personal Information will be retained only for such period as is appropriate for its intended and lawful use.
