Utah Quarterly Issues Survey Privacy Statement
The Utah Quarterly Issues Survey is firmly committed to protecting confidential information from abuse or exploitation. To protect your privacy and our professional integrity, the researchers conducting the Utah Quarterly Issues Survey will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your contact or personal information to any outside individual or group. We will never attempt to sell you anything or make sales solicitations. Only aggregate data will be shared with groups or individuals who are not directly associated with the Utah Quarterly Issues Survey. From the aggregate data, there will be no way to identify you or your answers.
Information you provide
We ask you to provide certain information about yourself to better measure the representation of our survey. To make correct conclusions about Utah public opinion, we need to know who is responding to our survey and what their lives are like. Therefore, we collect basic demographic information (e.g. income, education, sex, age, marital status) to identify the characteristics of our respondents. We need to identify the characteristics of our survey respondents to generalize the answers of only a small portion of all residents along the Wasatch Front to the entire group as accurately and correctly as possible. The demographic information you provide is never shared with anyone except professional researchers and is never linked to your name. Even for non-personal questions, your answers are completely confidential and never linked to you individually. You can always choose to decline to answer any question in the survey.
Information we collect passively
Our survey response software automatically collects such data as time it takes to complete the survey, date and time of access, whether the survey was completed or terminated early, and other such information. None of the information automatically collected compromises your privacy or confidentiality. All data collection is done on our servers and through the survey software; no files are downloaded to or stored on your computer. We do not use cookies to collect any information.
