What is Digital Finger Printing and how do we use it?

In general, Digital Fingerprinting technologies assign a unique identifier or "Machine-ID" to a user's computer to identify and track the computer. Toluna will not use Digital Fingerprinting technology (the "technology") to collect personal information, or track the online activities, of the user of a computer; and will not disrupt or interfere with the use or control of a computer or alter, modify or change the settings or functionality of a computer. Toluna will use the technology to assist Christian Book Insiders Community and other Toluna clients in ensuring the integrity of survey results. The technology will analyze publicly available information and data obtained from the computer's web browser and from other publicly available data points, including without limitation the technical settings of the computer, the characteristics of the computer, and the computer's IP Address, to create a unique identifier assigned to the computer. The unique identifier will be an alpha-numeric ID. After creating the unique identifier, Toluna does not retain the information ID used by the Technology to create the unique identifier.

Toluna (a) may link or associate your unique identifier to you and any of your Personal Information, (b) may share your unique identifier with Christian Book Insiders Community and with other sample or panel providers; and (c) may receive or obtain a unique identifier linked to you from Small Business or a third party, including without limitation a sample or panel provider or another client of Toluna. Any unique identifier(s) received or obtained by Toluna and linked to a specific individual will be protected as if it were your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. These steps are taken in furtherance of Toluna's efforts to assist Christian Book Insiders Community and other clients of Toluna in protecting and ensuring the integrity of survey results, as they allow the identification of fraudulent and duplicate respondents.

In the event that Toluna discovers or learns of any unethical conduct in connection with the use of the above technology, or that the technology is being used in a manner that is inconsistent with the statements and/or disclosures made by Toluna to respondents or in violation of applicable Laws and Codes, Toluna will take immediate action to prohibit such unethical conduct and to ensure the proper administration of the technology.

For US Members only: Many browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome contain a "do not track" optional setting. In general, when a "do not track" setting is active, the user's browser notifies websites that the user does not want the user's personally identifiable information about an individual consumer's online activities tracked over time and across different Web sites or online services. Websites are not required to honor a do not track request and as required by amendments to the California Shine the Light law, we are informing you that we do not honor such requests.
