All payment information entered when purchasing a service will be immediately transmitted securely to Stripe, our billing processor.

3. Survey Respondent Information
A "Respondent" or "Survey Respondent" is a person who accesses a survey that has been designed and deployed by a User. SurveyFactory provides a hosted, software-as-a-service platform only. It is our Users who use this hosted platform in order to conduct surveys, email potential participants and analyze results.
General Information provided by Survey Respondent
As mentioned in section 1, certain General Information will be automatically provided to us and recorded anytime a Respondent accesses our web server. This information may also be provided to the User who created the survey.
Information entered by a Survey Respondent
chumpsoft, inc. considers itself a data processor and collects any and all information that a Survey Respondent chooses to provide in a Survey conducted by a User. The User is considered the data controller and owner of Survey Respondent Information.
Information entered by a User
If a User possesses information about a Survey Respondent, it may be entered into our platform in the form of a data set so that the User may email potential Respondents or pre-populate a survey with Respondent information.
Use of Survey Respondent Information by User
Survey Respondents participate in any User survey at their own risk. It is up to the Respondent to check with the User conducting the survey to determine what privacy policy, if any, applies to information entered into a survey hosted on our platform. chumpsoft, inc. does not review or monitor Users' behavior with respect to Survey Respondent Information.
Use of Survey Respondent Information by chumpsoft, inc.
chumpsoft, inc. receives and records General Information sent by Respondent's web browser when accessing our servers and we may use it in a non-personally identifiable form to administer and improve our service. We will never use or disclose any other Survey Respondent Information, except as may be directed by the User in connection with the provision of the Service.
4. Additional Privacy Issues
How we protect your information
We store your information in password protected databases and use Rackspace as our managed web hosting provider. Anytime we request financial information due to purchases, your information will be sent over only secure SSL connections. Although we have taken many precautions to protect your data, no method of Internet transmission and storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
