preferences) as well as information obtained from public sources, to

possible) de-identified survey questions and responses:

* To enforce our agreements where applicable;
* To investigate security issues;
* To prevent or address potentially unlawful activities; and
* To screen for and prevent undesirable or abusive activity. For example, we
have automated systems that screen content for phishing activities, spam,
and fraud under our Acceptable Uses Policy.

* 3.2 Respondent

We process Personal Data about you as a Respondent where:

* We need to fulfill our contractual responsibility to deliver the services
to the Creator of the survey;
* We have a legitimate interest; and
* We have a legal obligation.

3.2.1 Contract

(a) Contact information.

* We only use contact information to respond to an inquiry on behalf of a
Customer if you, as a Respondent, contact us.

(b) Cookies.

* We use required cookies to ensure the operation of a Creator’s survey,
form, application, or other SurveyMonkey product. These cookies are used
to ensure that all aspects of the survey operate appropriately and
optimally. For more information please read our Cookies section below and
our Respondent Cookies Notice.
* Examples: We use page tags to allow the email sender (for a survey or form
for example) to measure the performance of email messaging and to learn
how to improve email deliverability and open rates. We also use cookies to
ensure a respondent can only take a survey once (where the Creator has set
this function) and to track completion rates of surveys.
* After completion of a survey, in most cases, you will be redirected to our
website and treated as a website visitor where other cookies may be used
so you should read our Website Visitor section if this is of interest to
you.

* We use device data both to troubleshoot problems with our service and to
make improvements to it.
* We use your device and browser data to provide our services to the
Creator. For example: your IP address is used to ensure that you do not
complete the same survey, form, application or questionnaire twice if the
creator has included settings to avoid this (ballot stuffing).

(d) Inferred geographic location.

* We also may infer your geographic location based on your IP address. This
allows Creators to filter responses by inferred geographic location. Note:
we do not collect precise (GPS) location.

(e) Event data.

* We use event data for many different business purposes including the
following:
* To create and improve services, features, content or make
recommendations;
* To track behavior at the aggregate/de-identified level to identify and
understand trends in the various interactions with our services; and
* To fix bugs and troubleshoot product functionality.

(f) Third parties and integration data.

* We will collect and use information from third parties and integration
partners to facilitate Creators in sending
surveys/forms/applications/questionnaires to you.

(g) Survey response data.

* SurveyMonkey may use first party machine learning or third party
artificial intelligence tools on data around the type of survey the
Creator has sent you, the question type, survey responses (at an
aggregated and de-identified/pseudonymized level only), and device and
event data associated with responses to fulfill our contract with
Creators and provide Creators with useful and relevant insights from the
data they have collected using our services. Specifically, we use machine
learning on survey data to help Creators by:
* identifying trends in their responses;
* ongoing training of models to optimize responses;
* making product recommendations and providing guidance on which products
and services work best in different scenarios (For an example of this
check out how SurveyMonkey Genius works here);
* Extracting and analyzing usage patterns, for example, we might identify
when respondents prefer multiple choice versus open text questions and
make predictive response suggestions when certain question types are
selected. We might also use this data to help improve analysis of
responses;
* undertaking personalization for survey Creators;
* improving user experience (for example, by collecting and using device
and browser information from Respondents to improve how our survey
service operates on those devices and in those browsers or by altering
questions to match the responses being provided by a Respondent); and
* identify insightful data trends (which do not disclose Personal Data)
and make recommendations to Creators based on those trends.
* A Creator has some controls over how we use responses and may have
opted-out of applying machine learning to responses where it is linked to
a specific product feature in some cases.

3.2.2 Legitimate Interests

for you and all users and to make recommendations to our customers about
usage of our services.

so we can examine patterns in terms of respondent preferences when
submitting responses. We collect and use all this data to help us improve
our product so that questions are easier to answer and to help improve the
completion rates on surveys/forms.
* We will also use information such as the type of survey, form,
questionnaire or application that you answered to personalize products we
show you on completion of a survey and to understand trends in our service
adoption. See more about Customizing Survey End Page here).

(b) Responses (in aggregated and/or de-identified form).

* To build new product features.

* We may infer your geographic location based on your IP address to produce
aggregated data around Respondent location trends. We will use this
information to compare and look at trends on how our service operates and
how you interact with surveys, on different browsers and devices. Note: we
do not collect precise (GPS) location.

(d) Customer support information.

* We may use information provided to our Customer Support, Customer Success,
and Sales teams such as name, email, and message content to train machine
learning models to better predict customer support question type, provide
answers, generate insights about customer support trends, and to improve
our Customer Support for our Customer. This data is de-identified where

across different services and multiple devices such as tablets, browsers,
and mobile phones. We may do so to tailor ads to users, personalize
marketing, to enable us to determine the success of our advertising
campaigns and to improve upon them. We use this data to personalize online
marketing campaigns to be relevant to you and your interests in our
services. You can withdraw your consent at any time on our Cookie Banner.

one of our brands, presented by one of our partners on the web, which
brought you to one of our websites, we will record this information to
help us track the success of advertising campaigns.

3.3.4 Legal obligation.

(b) We may also use event data:

* To enforce our agreements where applicable;
* To prevent potentially illegal activities; and
* To screen for and prevent undesirable or abusive activity. For example, we
have automated systems that screen content for phishing activities, spam,
and fraud under our Acceptable Uses Policy.

4. HOW WE SHARE OR DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA

4.1 Information you share

Many of our services let you share information with others. Remember that when
you share information publicly, it can be indexable by search engines. Our
services provide you with different options on sharing and deleting your content
but we cannot delete content from search engines so you need to be careful about
information you make public.

4.2 Information we share

We do not share your information or data with third parties outside SurveyMonkey
except in the following limited circumstances:

(a) If you are a Creator that is part of a SurveyMonkey team plan or
SurveyMonkey Enterprise plan, your account information and data will be shared
with the primary administrator(s) and your survey data may also be visible to
other members in your team with whom you share your surveys or with whom you
collaborate. Your administrator(s) will be able to view your account data,
change your passwords, suspend, transfer or terminate your account or restrict
your settings. Please refer to your organization’s internal policies if you have
questions about this.

(b) If you are part of a SurveyMonkey Enterprise plan, your plan’s
administrator(s) can transfer your survey questions and responses to, or share
them with, other members in your team, including your plan’s administrator(s)
themselves. Your plan’s administrator(s) can also delete your survey questions
and responses. Your plan’s administrator(s) may also have the ability to make
changes to any aspects of your survey questions and analysis. Please refer to
your organization’s internal policies if you have questions about this.

(c) If your organization has purchased a SurveyMonkey Enterprise account and you
are using an email address on a domain owned by your employer or organization
linked to your individual account, you may be asked to migrate to the
SurveyMonkey Enterprise Account and your email address, name and account data
will subsequently be visible to the primary administrator(s) for that account
once you have been migrated. You may be notified in advance of this migration
and given an opportunity to change the email address linked to your account if
you are not using your account for business purposes.

(d) To help us provide certain aspects of our services we use our affiliates and
trusted key partners – in particular, we engage third parties to:

* facilitate our collectors for sending surveys by email or text to
Respondents. For email delivery, we use SparkPost and for text/SMS services
we use Twilio. We share the relevant contact information for respondents
(email address or phone number as applicable) with these third parties.
* facilitate Creators in making payments.
* to facilitate the delivery of certain features, for example if you use the
“Create a survey using AI” we will send your survey prompts to our AI vendor.
We recommend that you do not include Personal Data in these prompts but if
you do they will be shared with the AI vendor.
* to detect fraud (to include, for example, performing identify checks or
verify malicious IPs).
* deliver and help us track our marketing and advertising content.
* help us track website conversion success metrics.
* manage our sales and customer support services to you, including for
resolving any disputes.

(e) We enter into confidentiality and data processing terms with partners to
ensure they comply with high levels of confidentiality and best practices in
privacy and security standards and we regularly review these standards and
practices. You can find more information in our Subprocessor Statement.

(f) On your instructions, we share your information or data if you choose to use
an integration in conjunction with SurveyMonkey services, to the extent
necessary to facilitate that use. See further information here on our API
partners.

(g) We also may have to share information or data for the following purposes:

* To meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable
governmental request;
* To enforce applicable policies, including investigation of potential
violations;
* To detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues;
* To protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our users, the
public or to SurveyMonkey and/or as required or permitted by law; and
* To facilitate a sale, merger or change in control of all or any part of our
company or business or in preparation for any of these events.

5. DATA RETENTION

If you are a Creator, we generally do not delete the data in your account as
long as your account is active – you are responsible for and control the time
periods for which you retain this data. You can read about this here for account
use. Here are some exceptions:

* If you are a SurveyMonkey Basic (free) user on our platforms and you have not
engaged with the service actively for some time, we reserve the right to
delete your account and data in accordance with our data retention policy.

* If you have exceeded your response limit as a SurveyMonkey Basic (free)
account holder, we will delete the overages if you do not upgrade within a
fixed timeframe.

We also encourage Creators to actively review their data retention practices in
their account and take care to retain data only as long as is strictly
necessary.

We also describe the expiry periods for cookies on our websites in our Cookies
Notice.

6. PERSONALIZED MARKETING AND COOKIES

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies on our websites. For
more information see our Cookies Notice. For information about cookies used in
our surveys please see Cookies used on Survey Pages. If you are a customer of
SurveyMonkey and separately use cookies or similar technologies in conjunction
with any of our products and services, then you yourself will be responsible for
complying with any laws related to the use of those technologies and this
Privacy Notice is not applicable to that use by you.

You can also choose to remove or disable cookies via your browser settings and,
depending on your geographic location you can withdraw consent to non-essential
cookies using the in-product cookie preferences tool.

You can opt-out from direct marketing in your account and we provide opt-out
options in all direct marketing emails. Finally, if you do not wish to see
personalized marketing content on the web related to our service you can clear
the cookies in your browser settings. See our Help Center article on how to do
this here.

7. SECURITY

We have a security statement related to our self-serve businesses (SurveyMonkey
and Wufoo) available to view here. For information about security related to our
other business lines you can speak to a sales representative by completing the
form here.

8. SAFETY OF MINORS

Our services (including creating and responding to surveys) are not intended for
and may not be used by minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 16 (or
under a higher age as provided in certain countries or territories).
SurveyMonkey does not knowingly collect Personal Data from Minors or allow them
to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected Personal Data
from a Minor, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason
to believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

9. DATA TRANSFERS

Your information and data may be processed in and transferred or disclosed in
the United States and countries in which our affiliates are located and in which
our service providers are located or have servers. You can view a list of these
locations in our EU Data Transfer Statement. You can also read about data that
is stored in our other data centers here in our International Data Center
Overview. We ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data offers an adequate
level of protection, for instance by entering into the appropriate back-to-back
agreements with standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms as
approved by the European Commission or relevant data protection authority.

We have also provided a help article which answers some additional questions
about data transfers to the US.

9.1 EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF,
and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles.

SurveyMonkey Inc. has self-certified its compliance under the EU-U.S. Data
Privacy Framework, the UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles.
SurveyMonkey is committed to subjecting all personal information received from
the European Union (EU) member countries, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to
the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the DPF, see
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s.

SurveyMonkey also complies with the onward transfer liability provisions of the
DPF.

When SurveyMonkey receives personal information under the DPF and then transfers
it to a third-party service provider acting as agent on SurveyMonkey's behalf,
SurveyMonkey has certain liability under the DPF if both (i) the agent processes
the information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF and (ii) SurveyMonkey is
responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. In certain situations,
SurveyMonkey may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to lawful
requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law
enforcement requirements.

With respect to Personal Data received or transferred pursuant to the DPF,
SurveyMonkey is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission. Please contact SurveyMonkey as described in Section 11
below if you have any concerns or complaints of any nature. If you have an
unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed
satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution
provider, (free of charge) at https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the DPF website
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/article/How-to-Submit-a-Complaint-Relating-to-a-Participating-Organization-s-Compliance-with-the-DPF-Principles-dpf,
you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have
been exhausted.

10. WHO IS MY DATA CONTROLLER?

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an
application, or provided website feedback to a Creator using SurveyMonkey
services, that Creator is the controller of your data, and SurveyMonkey is the
processor of that data.

For SurveyMonkey Enterprise account holders, your organization’s primary
administrator controls some basic account level information which you input when
setting up your account like name, email address and profile photo.

If you have provided survey responses, filled out a form, submitted an
application, or provided website feedback directly to SurveyMonkey, then
SurveyMonkey is the controller and our use of that data is described in our
SurveyMonkey Research Privacy Notice.

If you are a Creator and have received more responses than your plan allows
(“overage data”), SurveyMonkey is the controller over the overage data until you
change your plan type, or the overage data is deleted in accordance with section
12.4 of our Terms of Use or per the terms of your negotiated contract.

SurveyMonkey is a controller for the account-level data provided by its Creators
and panelists from Contribute and Rewards.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

You may wish to exercise a right to obtain information about yourself or to
correct, update or delete that information. For more information about these
rights you can read about it here. Some of these rights may be subject to some
exceptions or limitations in local law. Please note your rights and choices vary
depending upon your location. We will take reasonable steps to verify your
identity and we will respond to your request to exercise these rights within a
reasonable time (and in all cases within 30 days of receiving a request) subject
to the below for specific categories of person.

11.1 Apply Applicants

For SurveyMonkey Apply users please see information on how to exercise your
rights here.

* 11. 2 Creator

Where you hold an account with any SurveyMonkey service, you are entitled to
a copy of all Personal Data which we hold in relation to you. You also may be
entitled to request that we restrict how we use your data or object to some
aspect of our treatment of your data. You can access a lot of your data in
your own account when you log in. If you want to exercise your rights, please
contact us here.

Depending on your plan type, SurveyMonkey also enables you to export your own
response data from our system in a variety of formats so that you can back it
up or use it with other applications. Alternatively, for assistance in
exporting you can contact us.

* 11.3 Respondent

Where you have responded to a survey, form, questionnaire or application sent
to you by a Creator using a SurveyMonkey service, you will need to reach out
directly to that individual or organization to discuss managing, deleting,
accessing, restricting access to or otherwise withdrawing consent for use of
the information which you provided to them in your responses. SurveyMonkey
does not control your response data and, accordingly, is not in a position to
directly handle these requests in relation to that data. If you are having
difficulties finding this Creator or if you have any other questions after
reading this Privacy Notice, you can contact us through our support team and
we will try our best to help you.

* 11.4 Panelist

If you have created a Rewards or Contribute account with us, you can request
a copy of your Personal Data, delete your Personal Data, or correct it.

* 11.5 Visitor

Where you have visited our website and you want to exercise any of the above
rights please contact our support team here. Alternatively, if your request
is for the right to be forgotten as it relates only to our use of cookies you
can achieve this by clearing the cookies in your browser settings. See our
Help Center article describing how to do this here.

* 11.6 Authorized Agent

If you are a third party organization acting on behalf of a data subject (or
class of data subjects) to exercise data subject rights, we do work with you.
In this case:

* We ask you to follow our process outlined in this Privacy Notice for
security reasons so that we can independently verify the Creator (if it is
a Creator) making any requests to exercise their rights.
* Where applicable, we directly interact with a Creator’s registered email
address, because we authenticate users with username and unique password
and not with other identifying information (e.g., photo ID or similar).

Please do not share other forms of personal identification for data subjects
with us when submitting requests.

11.7 Other rights and choices

* For rights and choices specific to US consumers, please refer to our Region
Specific Privacy Notice. Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify
your identity and the authenticity of your request as described in that
Notice.

We assign a unique identification number to each TechFact. The ID will appear on

view TechFacts without the collection of any personal information (except for
such visitor's internet protocol (IP) address).
