Overview & Ethics
We practice what we preach. When it comes to customer-centricity, listening to you is an important part of how we create value for entrepreneurs and growing companies around the globe. If you choose to participate in a first-party research initiative administered by Six Catalysts, you can count on the following :
You can choose to remain anonymous.
Unless clearly stated ahead of time, you can participate in research activities without providing personally-identifiable information (PII). Collection of IP addresses is disabled for survey submissions, and providing information commonly considered PII is optional. The option to subscribe to a mailing list or otherwise enter into an information-sharing relationship is provided using an ethical wall architecture, which makes it impossible for us to attribute your survey submission to any PII provided in a separate action.
You can withdraw consent at any time.
For any submission provided which contains personally-identifiable information, you can withdraw consent to use this data and request that it be deleted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (even if you’re not a citizen of the European Union—we afford equivalent treatment to all, regardless of nationality). Requests for data-deletion can be made here : https://6catalysts.ca/contact/privacy-officer/
Personally-identifiable information will never be sold, traded, or provided to a third party.
We treat personally-identifiable information in the strictest confidence. Any PII which you provide will never be sold, traded, or provided to a third party unless you’ve given informed consent to do so—generally, this is only requested when you’re already part of a relevant commercial relationship.
Our own use of PII which you provide, for marketing or other commercial purposes, is only undertaken with your informed consent and is always separated from our first-party research with an ethical wall architecture.
Research Surveys
For your sanity, we respectfully suggest treating this as a “big internet” exercise (use a full keyboard instead of a touchscreen device).
