Commitment to PII Protection
Keep your respondent’s voice confidential by using our Audio Masking service. Given the importance of protecting PII, this will eliminate the possibility of your respondent being identified by the end client, because of their voice. You may further combine this with our Face Blurring service – especially where webcam interviews are involved.
Sometimes, your project requires that your respondent is on their webcam during an interview. Use our image blurring service and we will help you edit/blur you respondents’ image so that they are not recognizable when the video is played back. You can combine this with our Audio Masking service.
Our extensive Network Encryption Policy requires the use of cryptography to protect data in transit. All devices connecting to the network must be authorized and documented. Identity of users and computers connecting to the network must be authenticated via network firewall. We control the types of connections permitted.
Some clients prefer their own file transfer system when working sharing personally identifiable information or personal health information with us. We fully support use of your preferred file transfer method when transmitting respondent between your organization and ours. This can enhance your sense of protection even further when working with us.
We have the expertise to manage PII requirements in real time, on both our audio and web-enabled platforms. GDPR-eligible respondent acknowledgements to participate are logged by respondent, date, and time of agreement. Respondents are required to identify their country when requesting information or participating in a study we facilitate on behalf of our clients.
