Quantitative Data

When you complete a survey, the information you provide will be processed and aggregated into a report to be provided and used by Novatti. Novatti produces the aggregate level report data by combining the answers of multiple Respondents across various demographic characteristics, to present overall perspectives and insights. In these cases, the results of the survey will be anonymous, using an appropriate sample size of respondents for each analysis.
Raw survey responses are exported from the Survey Monkey website and stored in Novatti secure system(s).

Qualitative Data

Survey Respondents should note that these elements will be reported as they are written (i.e. unedited). Should a survey Respondent identify themself by name, writing style or otherwise, the Respondent will not remain anonymous.
Overall Information
Novatti may aggregate information gathered from the survey conducted and use this, together with other information known to Novatti, to perform industry benchmarking and comparisons for the benefit of ourselves and our customers. We may also use this information for research, marketing, publishing and/or selling.

Giveaway and prizes
In exchange for participating in the survey, Novatti agrees to award nine (9) participants a VISA prepaid gift card with a preloaded value of either $250 (2 available), $100 (3 available) or $50 (4 available). By offering an entry into the giveaway in exchange for survey participation by the respondent, Novatti confirms that this satisfies the primary benefit of the business being carried out, in accordance with VCFLR requirements.
Further to these requirements set out by the VCFLR, the email addresses of eligible respondents will be drawn at random by Novatti representatives to fulfil the quota of nine winners on the date of 17th December 2021. The winning respondents will be contacted with the details of their prize via email by a Novatti representative on the day of the draw. It will be the responsibility of the winning respondent to provide Novatti with adequate information (such as a name and postal address) in order to receive their prize.
Novatti confirms it is liable for domestic postage costs (if any) incurred in issuing the prize to the winning respondent. The prize will be issued to the winning respondent within 28 days of the draw being conducted.
Should Novatti receive no response from a winning respondent 28 days after the draw, then a redraw will be conducted, with a replacement winning respondent chosen.
Where the prize advertised is unavailable due to circumstances beyond the control of Novatti, and reasonable attempts were made to reach an agreement with the winning respondent that were unsuccessful, then Novatti must substitute the prize for something of equal or greater value of the original prize.
Information pertaining to the winning respondents (i.e: postal information collected in the course of issuing a prize), will be kept on file for three (3) years after the finalization of the giveaway. This information will be subject to Novatti’s privacy policy and securely stored.
