Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28th, 2021


This privacy policy is for the Task Analytics service (hereinafter Service) served by Task Analytics AS (hereinafter Task Analytics) and governs the privacy of its users who choose to use it. To understand our Privacy Policy it is important to distinguish between two aspects of our Service: Task Analytics for you as a respondent to a survey and Task Analytics for you as a client. More information on Task Analytics' Privacy, Data Safety & Security.

We strive to maintain the highest level of information security awareness and compliance in our product and infrastructure, as well as in our daily work activities. We have Data Processing Agreements based on EU's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) in place with all our US subcontractors. We continue working proactively with our US subcontractors to ensure that Schrems II requirements, as well as EDPB's recommendations 01/2020 (supplementary transfer tools) and 02/2020 (essential guarantees), will be complied with. This entails i.a. sufficient physical and logical restrictions, e.g. robust, state-of-the-art encryption in transit/at rest (with reliable key management and US subcontractors not having access to keys), and that our US subcontractors will challenge law enforcement requests and always disclose the minimum amount of data necessary. We will also focus on implementing new draft Standard Contractual Clauses as published by the EU Commission. View our GDPR compliance efforts concerning US data transfers.

1. Task Analytics for you as a Respondent to a Survey

In this section we describe how we protect the privacy for end users; users responding to a survey (the “Survey”) initiated by clients of Task Analytics.​

1.1 Information we collect

Task Analytics highly respects your privacy. We only collect data required to deliver reliable analysis to our clients. We do not store personal information unless it's provided by the respondent, e.g. in open-ended responses. If there is Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the client is able to delete these specific responses. ​

1.1.1 Device data

The Survey collects the following data from the device and application you are using when presented with the survey form:

  1. Web Browser name and version (e.g. “Chrome 60”)
  2. Web Browser user agent string
  3. Operating System (e.g. “macOS 10.10”)
  4. Device Type (e.g. “mac” vs. “pc”, “desktop” vs “smartphone”)
  5. Beginning and Ending website URL you were viewing while using the Survey​
1.1.2 Use of cookies

Cookies are small files saved to the user’s computer’s hard drive that track, save and store information about the user’s interactions and usage of the website. ​

The Survey is a cookie-based tool and uses cookies (“_tau”, "_tac", "_taj") so that users who have either participated (opted-in) or opted-out of the survey, are not asked to participate again. It records the state of your having opted in or out, and if you’ve opted in it stores a randomly generated response identifier sent with any of your Survey responses.​

1.1.3 Third party tools

Depending on how clients of Task Analytics are using the Survey, third party tools (the “Third Party”) like Google Analytics and Hotjar may be connected to the Survey by our clients. Your responses to questions in the Survey may also be sent to the Third Party.

The client is responsible for informing and notifying Respondents about potential integrations and data processing of answers given in Task Anaytics with Third Party software.​

1.2 Why do we collect your information

Task Analytics aims to help our clients understand customer intent to elevate their service and the customer experience of their websites. ​

We collect your device data to provide insights to our clients (those hosting and integrating the Survey) regarding which user demographics or platforms might be demanding certain capabilities from their website or which may be experiencing poor service. For example, it allows our clients to understand if there is a poor experience for users of mobile Safari. ​

We use a cookie to track the state of your opt-in status and if you’re currently engaged in the Survey.
