Privacy Statement:

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about how PeoplePulse manages your personal information. PeoplePulse is a product of Quinntessential Marketing Consulting Pty Ltd (Quinntessential Marketing).

Quinntessential Marketing privacy and confidentiality policy

We take your individual right to privacy seriously; any personal information collected by Quinntessential Marketing is treated as confidential. Personal information is information relating to an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion provided.

We are committed to handling the information you provide responsibly. We will take every reasonable and practical precaution to safeguard the security, integrity and privacy of this information; including periodically reviewing and updating our security measures in light of current technologies.

Please note that this privacy information will be updated as appropriate. We recommend that you check back regularly to this page to be apprised of any updates or changes.

Australian privacy legislation compliance

Quinntessential Marketing Pty Ltd (ACN: 099 299 868) complies with the National Privacy Principles established by the Privacy Act 1988 (and subsequent amendments), Australia.

Information collected by Quinntessential Marketing

All personal information about individuals and confidential information about organisations that use Quinntessential Marketing is and will remain confidential and secure.

Personal information

Quinntessential Marketing ensures the privacy of all our survey participants through our confidential and secure survey systems.

Quinntessential Marketing' guiding principle in the use of data collected in staff or customer surveys is that these data may be used for any purpose known to the survey respondent prior to the provision of such data.

Though in the vast majority of cases, data is only used in aggregate form, and raw responses are kept by Quinntessential Marketing, deviations from this policy can be discussed with the relevant Project Manager PRIOR to the commencement of the survey. Clients are generally made aware of the fact that any increase in perceptions of being 'watched' on the part of respondents will produce a commensurate reduction in candour. Our surveys are specifically designed to give maximum insight without impinging upon respondent anonymity.

If clients desire a copy of the raw survey results, Quinntessential Marketing will provide a spreadsheet of responses (without the respondents email address or other information that could identify the respondent).

Quantitative respondent data

Quinntessential Marketing uses data at an aggregate level - that is, we use the combined answers of many people and present aggregated information about various demographic groups within an organisation. Participants' anonymous responses to Quinntessential Marketing will be held in the strictest of confidence by aggregating results. Unless it is made explicitly clear to the contrary employers are not able to identify individual responses.

Qualitative respondent data

Survey participants should note that the free-text responses to statements at the end of most Quinntessential Marketing surveys are provided verbatim (i.e., unedited) to the relevant organisation. Should a Survey participant identify himself or herself by name, writing style or otherwise, his or her comments will not remain anonymous. This fact is normally explained on each Survey for the avoidance of doubt.

Overall information

From time to time Quinntessential Marketing aggregates confidential information received from Survey participants and uses such information, together with other information received by Quinntessential Marketing, in providing industry benchmark or other comparative data, undertaking research and publishing or selling such aggregated information, provided always that such information shall not in any way identify the results of any organisation or the responses of any individual. However, in accordance with Quinntessential Marketing's standard terms of business, unless otherwise requested by a Client in writing, Quinntessential Marketing may refer to a Client by name as a user of its surveys in its marketing materials.

Special note on customer surveys, entry surveys and exit surveys

Often our clients request that individual feedback from these surveys is provided in addition to aggregated results. In such cases respondents are asked for permission for their individual feedback to be given to the client prior to the commencement of the survey/interview only when permission is given, is individual feedback provided to the client.
