Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. We want you to be comfortable viewing our web site and providing information to us.

What We Do

Bryles Research is in the business of collecting high-quality data to help organizations better understand consumer behavior, preferences, and decision-making. We maintain a secure database of respondent information to efficiently identify and screen potential participants for market research studies.

While Bryles Research screens, recruits, and hosts marketing research studies, it is our clients who determine the objectives of each study and establish the specific participation criteria.

Information Gathering and Security

Registration in the Bryles Research database is completely voluntary. You are encouraged to provide only the information you feel comfortable sharing.

Note: Basic demographic information (such as sex, age, race, income, and education) remains essential to the marketing research process. Contact lists are generated from our database according to each study’s screening criteria. If a particular piece of information is missing from a respondent profile, that record is simply excluded from the applicable list.

Profile information may be updated periodically through online surveys or direct communication. Your information is handled with the utmost respect for privacy. Records are managed by a limited number of trained personnel. Most records are maintained electronically, and any paper documentation is stored in a secure filing system during and after processing.

Bryles Research does not sell or exchange respondent information.

Electronic call lists contain abbreviated information specific to a study’s requirements. These lists remain in our call center only for the duration of the project and are then returned to data processing for profile updates and deletion as appropriate.

Access to respondent information is limited strictly to authorized personnel. All Bryles Research employees are required to sign non-disclosure agreements to protect information provided by both clients and research participants.

Children

Bryles Research may occasionally recruit minors for marketing research studies. We strictly comply with all applicable federal and state laws regarding child safety and privacy protection, including parental consent requirements.

Information Shared with Clients

Bryles Research limits the personal information shared with clients to only what is essential for a specific study. Unless required for pre-study assignments or post-study validation, last names, phone numbers, and addresses are not shared.

Any personal information voluntarily disclosed by a participant during a focus group or interview to a client representative is not governed by this privacy policy.

Studies may be audio- or video-recorded strictly for marketing research purposes. Participants will be required to sign a Bryles Research disclosure agreement upon arrival for a study.
