Information Submitted by You
Information About You: We collect information about you when you participate in our research process and use the services in a variety of ways:
When you create an account, you provide us with information such as your name and email address either directly or via your social media account. We may also ask for your credit card or other banking details if you purchase certain of our services. You can provide additional information to enhance your profile such as your location, industry, bio, picture, and phone number. If you believe that someone has created an unauthorized account depicting you or your likeness, you can request its removal by contacting us.
As part of the review submission process, we will collect your name, company name, phone number, and email address for our records, but this information will not be made available to the public.
For posted reviews, you will have the option to either remain anonymous (e.g., only your generic job title, company description, industry, company size, and location will be posted with your review) or attribute your comments by providing information such as your name, company name, project details, and your photo. If you choose to attribute your review, you agree that we may publicly display such information in connection with your review through the services.
When you complete a survey, your responses will remain anonymous, and we will only display the results along with a generic job title, department, industry, company size, and location.
Information About Others: You may provide information about others (e.g. clients), including their names, emails, phone numbers and companies to support our reference check and review process. You should obtain the consent of other individuals before providing Visual Objects with their information. The information you provide about others is only used in the reference check and review process.
Information from Third-Parties We may collect, process and store your user ID associated with any social media account (such as your LinkedIn account) that you use to sign in to the services or connect with or use with the services. When you sign in to your account with your social media account information, or otherwise, connect to your social media account with the services, you consent to our collection, storage, and use, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, of the information that you choose to make available to us through the social media interface.
