While information is the cornerstone of our ability to provide superior service to our clients, our most important asset is our Shoppers’ trust. For more than 32 years, respecting and protecting your privacy has been vital to our business. At Service Integrity, we understand your concerns about privacy and have created this Privacy Statement in order to demonstrate our strong commitment to the privacy of our Mystery Shoppers and the personal information that they share with us. This Privacy Statement tells you the type(s) of information we collect, how it is handled and with whom it is shared. As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of technologies to improve the services we provide, this policy will most likely change. Therefore, we encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis.
We treat all the information collected at this site as highly confidential. We will never, give or sell confidential or personal information (including your e-mail address) about our shoppers to any third party except as required by law. Keeping secure the personal information you have shared with us is a top priority for everyone at Service Integrity.
Most of the information that we have came directly from you. When submitting your Application, or Contractor Information Sheet, you gave us information such as your name, address, and drivers license number. We also keep historical information about your mystery shopping assignments such as the types of assignments you have completed. Occasionally we may ask for your participation in surveys and obtain additional personal information from you regarding your buying habits, shopping preferences and other personal information related to the surveys. Participation in these surveys will always be optional as this information may be shared with others. Only the survey results and broad demographic information with be shared, not any of your personally identifiable information.
Only a limited number of trusted Service Integrity employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Each of these employees has signed a binding Confidentiality Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement as a condition of their employment with Service Integrity. To log in to our proprietary system that contains information about you, our employees must enter a registered password and are granted permission to enter the system only after receiving training on how to handle personal information. The servers where we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure, locked environment with restricted access safe behind our corporate firewalls. We have established physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. Should your relationship with Service Integrity end; your information will remain protected in accordance with our privacy practices as outlined in this Privacy Statement.
Service Integrity’s website will allow Service Integrity Mystery Shoppers options for changing, modifying or deleting personally identifiable information previously submitted to Service Integrity. Options will include an e-mail address which can be used to request one of our employees to make the change in the database as well as a method for the Mystery Shopper to personally change the information in our database; it will be the Shopper’s option as to which method to choose.

The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and most major websites use them. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your browser to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

We will revise this policy statement accordingly if we elect to begin using this technology on a regular and routine basis, so you may wish to check this policy periodically for updates
