Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy discloses the practices of C Space
Corporation concerning information we obtain by and through your use of the
C Space website (the "Site") and/or online market research
communities hosted and conducted by C Space (a "Community").
C Space is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need
for appropriate protection and management of any personal information you share
with us. The purpose of this privacy policy is to explain the types of
information C Space obtains about visitors to our Site and members of
C Space's online Communities, how the information is obtained, how it is
used, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review
and correct, the information. By using the Site or participating in a
Community, you are accepting and consenting to the use of your information as
described in this policy.
What Information We Collect and How We Use it
The information we collect on our Site and through Communities
generally fall into the following two categories: Personally Identifiable
Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Personally
Identifiable Information refers to information that lets us know the specifics
of who you are. The Personally Identifiable Information we may collect when you
use our Site or become a member of a Community may include, for example, your
name and e-mail address. Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to
information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. If we do
combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable
Information, the combined information will be treated as personal information
for as long as it remains combined.
In general, any information you provide may be used in the
following ways:
a)
to determine whether you meet the criteria for online
market research projects conducted by C Space (a "Community");
b)
to communicate with you regarding C Space's
services and/or your participation in a Community;
c)
for market research conducted on behalf of a
C Space client;
d)
to analyze, evaluate and/or improve C Space's
website, services and/or market research tools.
Information Provided Through Our Website
You may choose to share Personally Identifiable Information, for
example your name or email address, by completing a form on this website. When
you provide Personally Identifiable Information to us, we may ask if you want
to receive future marketing information and communication from us, such as
newsletters, email or other information. You can choose not to receive this
communication, if you wish. If you have already chosen to receive such
communication, you can ask us to stop by clicking the opt-out link on any email
communication, or by emailing a request to helpdesk@cspace.com.
Your information may also be used to help us track the way you
use our site and our products. We may also combine the information you provide
with information that we collect separately, including information you have
provided to other organizations (with consent that it can be shared) as well as
public information. All of this information will help us to better understand
your needs and how we can improve our products and services. In order to do
this, we may also share your information with companies who carry out work for
us. These companies have agreed to only use your information in the way we tell
them and to have procedures in place to protect that information. We do not share
the information you provide with third parties for their direct marketing
purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure.
Use of Cookies
Our Site uses or may use
"cookies" to gather Non-Personally Identifiable Information. A cookie
is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and
stored on your computer's hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to store
information, such as your email address, user name and/or password, about your
preferences and activity during and after your visit to a website. By using the
Site and/or participating in a Community, you consent to C Space's use of
"cookies."
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
refuse cookies, or selectively accept certain cookies, by adjusting the
preferences in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, there may be some
features and functions of our Site and Communities that will not be available
to you and some pages may not display properly.
Information Provided Through Communities
Your selection for and/or participation in an online Community
may require you to submit Personally Identifiable Information to C Space.
This information will be used for market research purposes and to contact you
regarding Community participation and not for direct marketing purposes
(however, if you have provided your information to C Space in other ways,
such as through our website, we may use your information to contact you as set
forth above).
In some circumstances, the information you provide may include
sensitive personal information (ethnicity, income, education, etc.).
C Space collects such sensitive information solely for meeting
C Space's (and its client's) market research goals, specifically,
collecting this sensitive information allows C Space and its client to
create a balanced community reflective of a certain consumer population or its
segments. Such information is not collected for any discriminatory purposes.
You will always retain the right not to answer any question with which you do
not feel comfortable.
If you are a Community Member and participate in Community
Activities, we may share your information with the Sponsor for whom the market
research is conducted. In most cases, your information is shared with Community
Sponsors only on an aggregate and anonymous basis. In some cases, however,
C Space may share your Personally Identifiable Information with the
Community Sponsor or the Sponsor may have access to that information in the
Community. In these circumstances, your personal information may be handled in
accordance with the Sponsor's privacy policy, a copy of which will be made
available through your Community, but the Sponsor's use of your information
will also be consistent with the purposes set forth above.
Special Circumstances
Other than as set forth above, we may use and/or disclose your
information, including your Personally Identifiable Information, in the
following circumstances:
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable technological and physical safeguards to protect
Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us from loss, misuse and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We follow
generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to
us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
Storage and Processing of Personal Information
Personally Identifiable Information collected on this website or
in a Community may be hosted, stored, processed, or supported in your country
of residence or any other country in which C Space Corporation or its
affiliates, subcontractors or agents maintain facilities and by using the site
or participating in a Community, you consent to any transfer of information
outside your country of residence. If information is transferred outside your
country of residence it will be treated in accordance with applicable data
protection laws.
Further, any of your Personally Identifiable Information may be
directed to a third party site administered and hosted by a third party vendor
retained by C Space Corporation for processing provided, that in such
event, the third party vendor will have no right to use any such information
other than uses necessary to fulfill its services to C Space Corporation.
C Space Corporation will retain your information for a
reasonable period and not longer than allowed by applicable law.
How to Correct or Remove Personally
Identifiable Information
If you do not want your personally identifiable information
collected, please do not submit it to us. If you have already submitted this
information and would like to review, correct, or remove it from our records,
please contact your community facilitator or helpdesk@cspace.com.
Safe Harbor Compliance
C Space has certified its participation, and compliance
with, the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor framework regarding the
transfer of personal information from European Union member countries and
Switzerland to the United States. The principles of Safe Harbor compliance are
notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access and
enforcement. Additional information about the Safe Harbor principles and
certification process can be found at www.export.gov/safeharbor.
Links to Third Party Sites and/or Integration
with Third Party Services
Our Site and Communities may interface with third party sites
and services, (for example, Facebook® or other third party
applications or services). Our Site and Communities may also contain links to
websites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no
control.
Privacy policies for these third party site sand services may be
different from our privacy policy. You access these third party sites and
services at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a
linked site or integrated service before disclosing any personal information on
such site and/or through such service. C Space is not responsible for
information you submit to third parties.
Currently, to help facilitate login to our communities, we may
offer in some Communities, at the Sponsor's discretion, a sign-on service that
allows you to sign into your Community using login credentials from your
Facebook® account. This allows you to associate your existing
Facebook® profile with your C Space account. By linking these
accounts, C Space will have access to certain profile information
contained within your Facebook® profile such as your full name,
e-mail, locale, gender, profile picture, as well as other publicly available
profile information. No Community content will ever be shared on Facebook®
without your express permission. You can disassociate your Facebook®
account from your Community account at any time by clicking "Unlink"
on your Member Profile page.
Use of the C Space Mobile Application
In some Communities, members may have the option to participate
in Community activities on their mobile device through C Space's mobile
application. Use of the mobile application is voluntary and optional. Members
who choose to use the mobile application must provide their Community login and
password to access and complete mobile Community activities. The mobile
application may request your permission to collect location data and/or may
request access to multimedia stored on your mobile device (i.e., photos or
videos). Location data is not required for participation in Community
activities; if you do not wish for your location data to be submitted, please
respond accordingly when prompted on your mobile device. Multimedia will only
be collected from your device if you affirmatively select it for submission
through the application (i.e., you chose an image or video to submit for a
Community activity). You can change your permissions with respect to location
data and multimedia sharing through the settings feature on your mobile device.
Any information and content collected through the mobile application will be
used consistent with this Policy and the policies and agreements applicable to
your Community.
Use of the mobile application may not be available in all
Communities, at the Sponsor's discretion.
