Protecting the privacy of users of the CivicScience, Inc. ("CivicScience") web site and our polling products is important to us.

From time to time, CivicScience may modify this Privacy Policy.

CivicScience is a for-profit corporation that earns money by administering polls sponsored by outside parties, collecting data from those polls ("Data") and by providing data and analysis services to researchers and other organizations. CivicScience may develop one or more databases containing the Data and may analyze, sell, redistribute the Data or any part thereof. However, that CivicScience will not (1) disclose the name, email address, or any personally identifying information of the person to whom the particular poll responses relate, (2) distribute the Data in any way which identifies the source of such Data. Neither CivicScience nor any organization that utilizes our polling software monitors how an individual voted on a particular issue. Instead, we can provide valuable information regarding, for example, "How women between the ages of 25 and 35 from Central Indiana voted" on a particular issue. An individual’s personal identity and voting record will remain confidential.
