Due to the nature of work we do, sometimes people share information with us we haven’t sought out (known as 'unsolicited information'). Where we receive unsolicited personal information about you, we will check whether that information is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities. If it is, we'll handle this information the same way we do with other information we seek from you. If not, we'll as soon as practicable destroy or de-identify it (unless the information is contained in a Commonwealth Record or it is unreasonable or unlawful to do so).

 

9. What we do when we receive personal information

When we receive personal information from you directly, we will take reasonable steps to notify you how and why we collected your information, who we may disclose it to and how you can access it, seek correction of it or make a complaint. Sometimes we collect information from third parties and you may not be aware that we have done so. If we collect information that can be used to identify youyou, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of the collection.

12. How to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can choose to view, edit, or delete your personal data. How you can access or control your personal data will depend on which channel you use.

 

MultiRater Surveys Unsubscribe Page: The unsubscribe option appears in every marketing email we send. If you no longer wish to receive our emails, click on that option, which will bring you to the Unsubscribe Page.

 

MultiRater Surveys Database Deletion Request: This allows you to request the removal of your personal information from MultiRater Surveys' marketing database. Email your request to support@multiratersurveys.com with the subject 'Please Delete My Marketing Data', these requests will be processed within one week.

 

Personal data rectification: If you would like to view or correct your personal data information, please contact us at support@multiratersurveys.com with the subject 'My PII Information Please'. MultiRater Surveys will reply to your request in an email within an estimated period of 30 (thirty) days.

 

MultiRater Surveys Application - Survey Participant perspective: Upon request, MultiRater Surveys will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your PII. To request this information, please contact us at support@multiratersurveys.com with the subject 'My PII Survey Information'.

You may at any time order a complete data copy. Your data will be delivered within 30 working days as spreadsheet files in Microsoft Excel format. Logical relations between datasets will be preserved in form of unique identifiers. We will charge a $500 fee for providing a complete data copy. MultiRater Surveys is the hosting site for surveys developed and completed by other companies (the 'Customer'). Therefore, we do not issue the survey or survey results to Survey Participants, nor are we involved in any of the HR processes. When the MultiRater Surveys Application provides survey results and any interpretation of them to a Customer, we cannot delete that information from the Customer’s records, nor can we control the use the Customer makes of it. The Customer, as the entity that issues the surveys and manages your survey results, has control of this information. Please refer to your point of contact from the company that issued the survey you took if you have any privacy concerns with your testing information.

 

MultiRater Surveys Application - Customer perspective: If you are a Customer, you may submit a request to access, review, correct or delete your PII by contacting support@multiratersurveys.com with the subject 'My Customer PII Changes'. If you are a Customer, we cannot delete all of your PII unless we also delete your user account. If you wish to cancel your account, please contact your account manager.

 

Final considerations:

For all three of the above-mentioned categories, you can always choose whether you wish to receive promotional emails, telephone calls or postal mail from MultiRater Surveys. Every marketing email from MultiRater Surveys contains instructions for how to opt out of receiving further marketing emails.

We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

 

Since we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on the Websites or through the Services. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your PII because some residual information may exist in archived data backups. Finally, we reserve the right to retain and use your PII as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

 

13. Personal Data Breach Notification

In the event that your data is compromised, MultiRater Surveys will notify affected users within 72 hours by email with information about the extent of the breach, affected data and any impact on services, along with MultiRater Surveys' action plan for measures to secure the data and limit any possible detrimental effect on the data subjects. 'Personal data breach' means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed in connection with the provision of services.

17. Anonymity

It is your right to be dealt with anonymously, provided that is it lawful and practicable.
