Your submission of a SHRM Voice of Work Research Panel recruitment survey and/or provision of your Personal Information to SHRM or the Panel Administrator for the purposes of participation in the Panel or any survey constitutes your consent to the collection, use, and/or disclosure of that information in accordance with this Panel Privacy Policy.
1. What information do we collect?
In order to manage the Panel, administer surveys, and provide participation incentives ("Panel Services"), SHRM collects certain Personal Information from Panel members and prospective members.

The Personal Information we collect through the Voice of Work Panel recruitment survey or other channels includes but is not limited to: name, date of birth, gender, address, email, phone, employer, work address, work email, work phone, for each participant on enrollment as a Panel member. In addition, we collect other such Personal Information as Panel members may choose to provide in survey responses or otherwise communicate to SHRM or the Panel Administrator.

a) to offer the Panel Services and manage the Panel;
b) to administer surveys and communicate with members regarding survey opportunities, participation in the Panel, and rewards;
c) to manage and administer Panel rewards and provide such benefits to members;
d) to communicate with prospective Panel members regarding the Panel and potential participation in the Panel;
e) to tailor survey opportunities to Panel members;

3. When do we share information with third parties?
We may share Panel members' Personal Information in the following ways:
a) Service Providers. We may share information with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us, such as IT services, maintenance and hosting of the Panel Services, accounting, auditing, and tax services, and other such professional services.
b) Clients. SHRM provides research services to third-party clients ("SHRM Clients") using the Panel. SHRM may share non-identifying geographic or demographic data about Panel members and/or survey respondents with SHRM Clients as part of a summary of survey results. In cases where Panel members voluntarily disclose Personal Information in survey responses, such information may be shared with SHRM Clients. Panel members are not required to provide Personal Information in response to any survey, and may skip any survey question you do not want to answer. Please note that Panel members who choose to exit the survey without completing it will not receive credit toward the survey.
c) Rewards Providers. We may share Panel members’ contact information with third parties in order to deliver rewards or other incentives that members earn in connection with participating in a particular Panel survey. For instance, if you earned an online gift card to a particular retailer, your name, email address, and similar contact information may be provided to the retailer in order to deliver your gift card. Such third parties subsequent use of your information is subject to their posted terms and privacy policies.
d) Corporate Event. We reserve the right to transfer to another entity or its affiliates or service providers some or all information about you in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, acquisition, sale of assets or any line of business, change in ownership control, or financing transaction. We cannot promise that an acquiring party or the merged entity will have the same privacy practices or treat your information the same as described in this Policy.
e) Legal. We share information where necessary to comply with applicable law, to respond to requests from law enforcement agencies or other government authorities or third parties, as permitted by law and without your consent when it is necessary to protect our customers, employees, or property; in emergency situations; or to enforce our rights under our terms of use and policies.
4. Rewards for panel participation
Panel members may have the opportunity to earn rewards or incentives for participation in certain surveys. Because the provision of Personal Information in connection with any survey is not required and entirely voluntary, SHRM does not generally assign monetary or other value to Panel members’ Personal Information. To the extent applicable law requires that a value be assigned, SHRM values the Personal Information collected and used as being equal to the value of the incentives provided in connection with completing each such survey.
