Who we are
We are a research group based in Virginia, USA, formed in 2019 to collect and independently report consumer and market research, primarily around the use of technology. Our website address is: https://dotswell.com. We can be contacted at research@dotswell.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Survey data collected will be used to generate anonymous reports on consumer habits and preferences. Your personal information will not be collected on surveys. We will attempt to delete any personal information you may accidentally or inadvertently leave in a survey, but will not be held responsible for doing so.
Personal data, including your name, email address, and other details, will be collected for the purposes of entering you into drawings and informing you about future surveys, according to your specified contact preferences. This personally identifiable information will not be linked to the survey data you provide.
Who we share your data with
We will never share your email address or personal information. We do not share or publish personally identifiable details about survey participants.
How long we retain your data
Anonymous data may be retained indefinitely. Personally identifiable data will be scrubbed within two years, or upon request. Please contact research@dotswell.com for any such requests.
What rights you have over your data
You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
When you participate in our surveys and drawings to win prizes, your data will be stored on our behalf at our vendor sites MailChimp, SurveyMonkey, and Microsoft. These vendors will not be licensed to use our data. Our clients will not be permitted to access your personal or contact information.
