SurveyShare is a survey clearinghouse and Web hosting service. We do not censor the questions or messages in the surveys or the invitations to take surveys that third parties may propound, nor do we censor the responses you may provide. As detailed below, members of this service who send our Web-based surveys are solely responsible for the subject matter, questions, and contents of any survey invitations and surveys in which they participate. In addition, they are solely responsible for the contents of their survey responses.

Account Information SurveyShare collects contact information from its users, such as name, address, email address, etc., in order to confirm your registration, deliver newsletters that you request, deliver information to you about our company's services, products and site, allow use of the survey creation and analysis features, and to customize and personalize your SurveyShare user experience. This information is stored in a secure online database. Information that is supplied to SurveyShare through our online registration forms and other places throughout the site will be used to communicate with the visitor when necessary. This information may also be used to provide goods and/or services to a customer, after the goods and/or services have been ordered by the customer. Financial information (like credit card numbers) that the user provides will used to bill for products and services, and will be available to our credit card service and fulfillment companies. You will only be billed for items and services that you order. We reserve the right, even after a user has canceled all accounts with us, to send email and print communications to them describing this and other services offered by SurveyShare.

Surveys and Newsletters We sometimes use our member database to solicit participants in our online survey research or to request feedback on new services, tools, and events. If solicited to participate in any of these surveys, any member can decline participation. We also will occasionally offer online newsletters, which are opt-in only and can be unsubscribed from at any time.

Server Traffic Like the vast majority of complex Web sites, SurveyShare tracks user traffic through our Web site servers. We might utilize information such as your IP address to help diagnose technological problems, and other Web site administrative activities. Your IP address may also be utilized in order to customize information sent to you in order to make it as relevant as possible. We might also release aggregate traffic pattern data in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, third parties, or for any other lawful purpose. We reserve the right to perform statistical analysis of user behavior and characteristics in the effort to improve our system's performance and our marketing efforts.

Surveys and Sharing SurveyShare allows users to input the e-mail addresses of other individuals in order to allow the SurveyShare system to send out invitations to those individuals, and checks these email addresses when invitees attempt to respond to surveys. E-mail addresses collected in this manner will not be used in any way by SurveyShare, other than in the administration of that user's surveys, and will not be shared or sold to others.

SurveyShare also allows users to share their survey data, including questions and user responses, which may include personal information, with others. The user must specifically choose to share their results or survey templates. SurveyShare is not responsible for decisions made my SurveyShare members to share their results or survey templates or any ensuing sharing between and among members. SurveyShare also is not responsible for the content of users' survey questions, nor is it responsible for the responses to these questions given by survey invitees. However, we reserve the right to review the contents of our Web server and to delete any surveys, and the user accounts associated with them, without warning or advance notice, if it appears that our Terms of Service are violated. When a survey is created, it is given a unique URL (Web address) which is not shared with any other survey. SurveyShare does not claim any ownership rights to the contents of the surveys created by users, or of the data associated with them. This private URL will not be distributed to others by anyone other than the survey creator.

Members can access surveys they have built as well as associated data or results through their individual accounts and lockers protected by a password that they have selected. We will store the survey results in our database, for which we have made a good-faith effort to secure from outside, unauthorized access, but SurveyShare cannot be held liable in the event of unauthorized access to user files by outside parties. We will prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, any unauthorized attempt to gain access to the data on our servers or to disrupt the operations of this online system. While we will do our utmost to ensure the reliability of our servers, users agree that SurveyShare cannot be held liable for data loss or data corruption.
