Security

To protect your information we use the latest 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for communication. SSL encrypts the connection between your web browser and EasyQuest. We will also implement such other security measures as required from time to time by applicable data privacy laws, including the Norwegian Data Privacy Act § 13 and GDPR.

Authentication

In order to protect the privacy of your information all users of the Service (this does not include Survey Respondents or Site Visitors) must authenticate themselves using a verified email address and password before gaining admittance.

Privacy of Survey Respondents

A Survey Respondent is anyone who fills out survey, form, application, or questionnaire powered by an EasyQuest service. On the instructions of the Survey Creator, we collect and store your survey responses on their behalf.

Anonymous surveys

The Survey Creator has the ability to configure a survey as anonymous. If you participate in a survey configured as anonymous no information that can identify you and link you to your answers will be provided to the Survey Creator. Please be aware that specific questions in the survey may still ask you for your personal information or data that could be used to identify you.

Information we collect directly from you

We collect and store the survey responses that you submit. The creator of the survey is responsible for this data and manages it, including the responsibilities as Data Controller under applicable privacy laws. A survey may also ask you to provide personal information or data. As a respondent, you can choose not to provide an answer to any given question. If you have any questions about a survey you are taking, please contact the Survey Creator directly as EasyQuest is not responsible for the content of that survey.

Information we collect from the Survey Creator

If the Survey Creator uses EasyQuest to send you a survey invitation email, we collect your email address and possibly other respondent data when the Survey Creator provides it to us.

Information we collect using technology

Our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses. This information is not connected to your survey response.

How we use the information we collect

Survey data and responses are controlled and managed by the Survey Creator. EasyQuest is only processing the data on behalf of the Survey Creator.

We do not send you emails except when directed by the Survey Creator. The emails we send on behalf of a Survey Creator may appear to come from that Survey Creator’s email.

At at an aggregated and anonymized level we use automated processes and machine learning in order to provide Survey Creators with useful and relevant insights from the data they have collected using our Services and to improve our Services with new features.

Data Retention

As a respondent you will need to ask the Survey Creator how long your responses will be stored.

Your rights

If you want to access or delete your data, object to the processing of your data, or have any other enquiries regarding the handling of your data, you will need to reach out directly to the Survey Creator. EasyQuest does not control your response data and, accordingly, is not in a position to directly handle these requests. The Survey Creator is able to access and delete all the survey data and responses from its account.

If you are having difficulties contacting the Survey Creator or if you believe that the Survey Creator is not complying with its legal obligations regarding your data, please contact us and we will try our best to help you.
