Privacy policy
PRA gathers information for research purposes only. All research data, information, lists, material, ideas, procedures, and methods unique to PRA are confidential indefinitely. We maintain strict confidentiality of both client and respondent information. We do not sell or trade information that identifies individuals.
Information gathered by PRA through qualitative or quantitative research (surveys, focus groups, one-on-one interviews, etc.) is volunteered by respondents and is considered confidential by PRA. In almost all cases, the information gathered during the research process is analysed in aggregate form, that is, the responses of a particular individual are not examined. While the information is in aggregate form, it is impossible to attribute answers to a specific respondent.
No information that can personally identify an individual respondent is provided to anyone outside PRA. In the rare event that information that might personally identify individual respondents is to be transferred to a third party, permission is obtained from those individual respondents.
Information from individual respondents will not be used for any purpose other than originally specified. However, individual respondents may be invited to take part in future research.
