What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide certain features.
While you may disable cookies in your browser, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of opinionjungle.com's features, we recommend that you leave them enabled.

Does Opinion Jungle Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our users is an important part of our business. We share customer information as described below:

We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses request Opinion Jungle to conduct specific consumer research, such as product or service reviews. In other cases, these businesses request more generic, existing information. In either case, Opinion Jungle provides the requested information in aggregate, filtered form to remove personally identifiable information, such as name and/or username. However, any personally identifiable information that you embed in reviews or other comments you provide, may not be filtered to remove such personally identifiable information.
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of users on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name or address.
We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For example, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity we will provide the requested information to law enforcement or other governmental officials. In such events, we will disclose information relevant to the investigation, such as name, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, User ID history, IP address, fraud complaints, and website activity.
Should we plan certain transactions with other business entities, such as mergers or acquisitions, we may share information with other business entities.
With your permission, we may send personally identifiable information to businesses or other entities. For example, businesses may wish to conduct focus groups and/or survey studies and may wish to compensate participants.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
It is important for you to protect your password and your computer against unauthorized access. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
Your information is generally stored and processed on our servers located in the United States. In some cases, we may store and/or process personal information outside your country.
We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use many tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the site.

Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications with, or through, Opinion Jungle will always remain private.

What About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?

Our Website may include third-party advertising and links to other Web sites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party Web sites.

These third-party Web sites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our Web site directly to your browser. They may receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party Web sites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative offers useful information about Internet advertising companies (also called "ad networks" or "network advertisers"), including information about how to opt-out of their information collection. Opinionjungle.com may also display personalized third-party advertising based on personal information about users, such as product reviews.

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others on our sites or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Opinion Jungle does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
