Privacy Policy & Data Confidentiality
Data Confidentiality
We treat each company’s data in the strictest confidence and take our responsibility seriously regarding the security and integrity of the data provided to us. Company-identifiable data is not to be released. The information we collect will remain confidential and will not be shared with any third party or used for purposes other than the production of the salary data set results. Customized compensation reports require the selection of at least ten companies to ensure salary benchmarking data sufficiency and confidentiality. In addition, we check that at least five companies reported data to a specific job before displaying it on any reports. These rules ensure that SalaryCube provides the highest level of data confidentiality to our participants.
Privacy Policy
Overview
This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store and use data collected from our website (www.salarycube.com).
This Privacy Policy demonstrates our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your personal information. Information obtained from website visitors and customers of our products and services will only be used for the purposes outlined in this policy. Except as specified in this Privacy Policy, at no time will we sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personal information or survey data to a non-agent third party.
Use of our website or services constitutes your agreement with this Privacy Policy, so please read it carefully. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of our website and services immediately. This Privacy Policy may also be updated from time to time, as noted in our company news and customer announcements. Continued use of our website and services following the announcement of these updates constitutes your agreement with the changes.
How Data is Collected and Used
Data from Order and Contact Forms
When you purchase our products or services online, we collect your contact and payment information (such as name, postal address, email address, and credit card number). We use the information collected from our order forms to create and update your account, verify your identity, authorize payments, and to send you a confirmation of your payment. We will share your credit card information via a secure Internet connection with our third party credit card processing vendor for the sole purpose of processing your order or refund.
When you fill out a form on our website, we store the information you provide to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and contact message. Following the collection of your data using a website form, we may also use marketing or analytics tools to subsequently track certain purchasing and browsing activities, such as website pages visited, time spent on pages, and marketing emails opened or clicked.
Data collected from our website forms and our marketing tools may be used to periodically send marketing notices, product updates, or company news notices to that email address. You may opt-out of receiving these emails at any time by following the Unsubscribe link located in the footer of these emails or by contacting us as specified in the Contact Information clause of this Privacy Policy. We will process your request as soon as possible. We may also use this data in aggregate to improve our overall website performance and product/service offerings.
At no time will we sell or otherwise transfer any data from your SalaryCube account to any non-agent third party.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information from our website and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to monitor system performance, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on our website. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
We use persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
We set cookies when you visit the SalaryCube website. Cookies are used to:

Third-Party Analytics and Advertising Services
We may use website analytics tools and services, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze our site and how it is used. Information about how Google Analytics handles personal information is available here, and you can learn how to opt out of Google Analytics here.
We may also use third-party tools to help us deliver advertising. As noted above, these third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to track a user’s online activities. Targeted advertising may take place on our site or on websites not affiliated with us, if those websites participate in the same advertising networks. We currently use Google Ads (also known as Google AdWords) and Microsoft Advertising (also known as Bing Ads).
You can take steps to limit or block targeted advertising. You can learn how to control or block advertisements enabled by Google Ads here. If you have a Google account, you can also learn how to control targeted advertising enabled by Google here. If you have a Microsoft account, you can learn how to control targeted advertising enabled by Microsoft here. In addition, both Google and Microsoft participate in the “AdChoices” program of the Digital Advertising Alliance and have committed to comply with the NAI Code of Conduct of the Network Advertising Initiative. You can learn more about advertising networks and how to opt out of targeted advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance here and through the Network Advertising Initiative here.

Other Uses of Data
Our privacy practices as described in this Privacy Policy are subject to our ongoing obligation to comply with applicable law or lawful requests by government authorities and with our right to protect ourselves and others when necessary. We may disclose any information necessary to investigate or take action with respect to suspected fraud or other illegal activities, to enforce the terms of agreements to which we are a party, or as otherwise required by law.
In connection with a potential acquisition or merger of our company with another company, we may share our data, which may include information about you, with that other company, but we will only do so under an appropriate confidentiality agreement.
