Hub Entertainment Research LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of its survey research participants. This privacy policy applies to research participant data housed at any Hub facility or stored on the Hub network. Anyone who has access to such information or data must follow this privacy policy.
Participation in Hub surveys is strictly voluntary. Consent is obtained when a respondent agrees to participate in survey research.
An individual may refuse to answer certain questions, discontinue participation in a study, or withdraw consent at any time, even after initially agreeing to participate.
All responses to our research are completely confidential. We collect data in our studies for research purposes only, and our use of that information will be limited to that purpose. Respondents will not be contacted for other purposes, including sales solicitations, without their prior consent.
Responses are analyzed and shared with our clients in aggregate form only. Since this information is in aggregate form, clients or other third parties will be unable to identify an individual’s specific personal information.
In order to provide our services to clients, we may request from research participants their personal information such as names, email address, phone number, or mailing address. This collection of personal information from research participants is only done with the express consent of the participant.
We do not rent, sell or give personal information to any third party for the purpose of directly marketing any products or services. In some cases, we may need to share personal information with third parties that provide research services in support of the research project. Any third party that receives personal information is obligated to follow all of the same privacy protection regulations as followed by Hub.
Hub will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
Personal information shall be protected by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
Hub safeguards personal information in its possession or control from loss or theft and from unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, use or modification.
Some information is stored electronically. Recent paper records containing individuals’ personal information are stored onsite at our office.
Hub safeguards personal information in its possession or control through security measures, such as:
Physical security – restricted access to offices and filing cabinets
Organizational security – controlled entry in offices and limited access to relevant information
Electronic security – firewalls and passwords
Hub uses care when disposing of or destroying personal information in order to prevent unauthorized access to the information.
The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Hub’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

To comply with the law
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Hub will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
Under certain circumstances, Hub may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
