You can be assured that your privacy and the confidentiality of your information is our number one priority. The data that Resolution Research collects in research studies is reported in aggregate (summary form) -- that is, we provide information about group responses, not individuals. In fact, in most instances, your personal contact information is withheld from any reporting mechanism provided to clients. All individual information provided is held strictly confidential.

Resolution Research is and has been a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau and was a Winner of a Gold Star Certificate from BBB Denver/Boulder, 2008 - for having no complaints in a three-year period.

2) Information Collected on Panel.ResolutionResearch.com

Resolution Research gathers personal information when individuals register online to become a panel member in order to provide invitations to appropriate studies that match a panelist's profile. Personal information may include your name, address, gender, birth date and employment status. (We ask for your birth date to facilitate the automatic update of your age for studies with age-related requirements.) As an example of why personal information is necessary: if we need to interview moms with children under two years of age who live in Las Vegas, we wouldn't want to contact you for participation if you are a male living in Boise.

Most often, we email survey and/or focus group invitations. Email communications are fast, help promote "green" citizenship and help us save money, which allows more rewards to be passed on to you. If you prefer to be contacted by phone only, please send us an email to panel@re-search.com and we will add you to telephone only database. If you have joined and provided your email address but prefer to be contacted by phone only, please email us at panel@re-search.com so we can update your record.

All email contact from Resolution Research is delivered to the primary email address you've provided at registration. Additionally, your information is also used for the purpose of incentive fulfillment.

If you elect not to join our panel but provide personal information for a study, we preserve your email address to a) notify you of an incentive award, and/or b) to limit the number of times which you are eligible to take a survey. In addition, other personally identifiable information may be maintained as required by virtue of any law or regulation.

Children's Privacy. Resolution Research is committed to protecting the online privacy of children. It is our policy to not collect Personal Information from children, who are 13 years of age or younger and Resolution Research is in adherence to all COPPA rules and regulations. Additionally, children are only allowed to participate in studies with the full written consent of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

No information from children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register for this site or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us at panel@re-search.com.

3) How Information is Used

If you are invited to join a Proprietary Panel, you will be made fully aware of the commitment involved before you choose whether to participate.
