Who is Dynamic Logic and what does Dynamic Logic do?
Dynamic Logic is a leading research company that analyzes marketing effectiveness
through surveys and studies that are voluntarily completed by consumers. We do not use cookies or any other tracking
technology but may retain or partner with entities, such as Safecount.net (www.safecount.net), to discern consumer
exposure to certain ads (if they are part of a study we are conducting) and the
number of times these ads are seen. For our studies on advertising
effectiveness, our partners such as Safecount.net may capture standard web
traffic information such as time, date, IP address and browser. Safecount.net offers you the opportunity to
choose to NOT be tracked for ad exposure (and also to NOT be invited to take an
online survey) where safecount.net is tracking and/or recruiting for research
studies. To exercise this option, you
can click here (http://www.safecount.net/cookies.htm)
and scroll down to use the "Consumer Opt-Out" button which will set a
special cookie that excludes you from the above mentioned activity.
Once a user agrees to participate in the survey, the user may be asked to
provide their zip code, gender, birth year, income and in some cases, email
address. Email address is only requested in 3 specific cases: 1) sweepstakes or
other incentive is offered for users to participate in a particular research
study, in which case the email address is used to notify the user if he/she has
been selected to receive a prize, 2) to re-contact the user if he/she has
opted-in to take future surveys, and 3) from time to time we conduct internal
collaboration exercises and if an inconsistency with respect to your survey
answers is noted in that process, we may contact you to get clarity . The other
(i.e., other than email address) data values are only used to weight and
analyze the survey results. If you do not wish to provide this information,
then you will not be able to participate in our survey.
Survey results sent to our clients do not include email addresses or other
personally-identifying information. We never divulge specific user information.
In the case where a sweepstakes is offered as an incentive to participate in a
study, selected winners must provide their name and address so that the winning
prize may be delivered to them.
Occasionally, a web site partner of Dynamic Logic wants to know how your usage
of their web site impacts your attitudes as reflected in surveys. To do this,
they place identifying code, or beacons, on our survey page. This enables our
publisher partner to tell, for example, if people who use the sports section of
the site think differently than people who use the finance section of the site.
This is consistent with that web site's privacy policy, and it is never
released to a third party.
Do you rent, sell or release my name, address or email information?
No. We do not rent, sell, or release list information without your consent. You
are providing it to our organization only, and we do not assume that we have
your permission to provide it to any other organization or company without your
consent.
What do you do with my survey answers?
All data collected is grouped together and analyzed as a whole - in the
aggregate. Your identity will never be attached to a specific piece of
information or response. In the analysis we provide to clients we do not say:
Bob Smith from Tuscon, AZ said XYZ. On the occasion that we'd like
to use a direct quote from your survey you will be contacted directly. And if
you do not grant us permission, the quote will not be used.
All data is stored in the US.
Why do I need to provide my name, address and email?
We use your email address for a few purposes. The first is to inform you if you
have been chosen as a sweepstakes winner for having taken a survey. The second
is to contact you if you have opted in to take future surveys. Your name and
mailing address would be requested only in the case where you are the
sweepstakes winner and a check or prize has to be delivered to you.
Age, gender and other demographic information is used to determine a user's
eligibility to qualify for a survey.
You will be notified by email if there is ever a change in the way we use your
personal information.
Lastly, we may contact you if we have any questions or concerns about the
accuracy of your information. We periodically conduct internal corroboration
amongst all our data tables and also validate data fields to reveal any
possible inconsistencies in the database. The outcome of this exercise may
prompt us to contact you.
And keep in mind, if you ever want any personal information (name, address,
email address or other contact information) to be removed from our database,
just contact us via email at info@dynamiclogic.com,
and we will accommodate your request.
Why do I need to provide income, education and occupation information?
This information is used to properly analyze data. Many different types of
people participate in these surveys and this type of data helps us and our
clients understand who participated and see if there are any interesting
similarities, differences or trends among participants in different groups.
How do you pay me if I am a Sweepstakes winner?
Based on the name and address you submit, we will issue you a check when
applicable. This process takes 4 - 6 weeks depending on the nature of the
survey.
What types of data do you collect?
We primarily collect attitudinal data. Attitudinal data is about attitudes,
just like it sounds. You provide this type of data when you answer survey
questions. For example, your opinions or attitudes toward a certain topic or
specific product or service make up attitudinal data.
We also keep automated server log files that record IP address, browser type,
time and date, and file accessed for all visitors to this website
(www.dynamiclogic.com). These logs are for maintenance purposes only, and we
are not able nor do we make any effort to match them to any personal
identifiable information.
Do we use cookies?
Dynamic Logic does not use cookies or any other tracking technology. However, we work with entities or partners
that do employ cookies to track users exposure to certain ads. Every time a user sees an ad that is part of
a Dynamic Logic study, a cookie may be set in your browser. The cookie will
remain dormant until you are asked to take a survey.
If you choose to take the survey, your browser may be examined to see if a cookie
has been set which denotes your exposure to a certain ad. If a related cookie is
detected in your browser, only two pieces of information will be gathered from
it: where you have seen a particular ad, and how many times you have seen it.
Any cookie file information used in our studies is only to evaluate your
exposure to an advertisement or web site pages belonging to companies that have
retained our services. However, we do NOT have access to your computer or your
cookie files to see what third party web sites you may have visited. Our research
clients will be given your responses as part of an aggregate dataset delivery
but they will not know who you are. No
personally identifiable information is secured via the cookie and no personally
identifiable information is delivered to our clients.
What security measures do you take?
Dynamic Logic uses the latest industry standards in its efforts to safeguard
the integrity and confidentiality of your Personal Information through the use
of a firewall and password protection systems. Our security and Privacy Policy
are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. Unfortunately though, you
should understand that "perfect security" does not exist on the
Internet.
What is your policy regarding children's privacy?
Dynamic Logic is committed to the safety of our children. Children under 18 may
not participate in the Dynamic Logic Sweepstakes. Dynamic Logic generally does
not allow children under 13 to participate in Surveys. If a Survey is open to
children under 13, the study is conducted in full compliance with the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (For more information on the
Childrens' Online Privacy Protection Act, please click here or go to http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/coppa.htm).
Are you compliant with the EU Safe Harbor Agreement?
Yes, Dynamic Logic abides by the EU Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the
Department of Commerce regarding collections, use, and retention of data from
the European Union.
Notification of Changes
If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via
email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in
this different manner. However, if you have opted out of communication with the
site then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used
in the new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy
practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database,
we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change.
In some cases where we post the notice we will also email users, who have opted
to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy
practices.
Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire
us to use that information after you have provided it to us, simply email info@dynamiclogic.com with your
request.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a
court order or legal process served on our Web site.
