Privacy is an especially important issue for marketing research since we are in contact with business persons, consumers, and patients on a daily basis. In this regard, we often obtain confidential information from such persons ("Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII"). In order to protect the company and our Respondents and comply with legal requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and other relevant statutes and regulations, it is important to us that we are aware of and comply with our Privacy Policy when handling PII.

  (a) the last name or telephone number of any recruited Respondent for any research study;
