| Privacy, in the age of electronic
data banks, increased telemarketing and direct mail, looms as
a major issue for the government, for manufacturers, and for
researchers. Keeping the identity and the reported opinions
or behaviour of the individual respondent private from buyers
and users of research has long been a key principle of all ethical
media and market research. Tabulating data in such a way that
individual respondent identities are not revealed to members
of the research organization (except as absolutely necessary)
is standard operating procedure.
The need to be ever vigilant in this area is more important
than ever given today’s consumer climate of opinion.
Not observing privacy principles helps encourage future non-cooperation
by respondents and possible legislative or judicial action.
Many interactive media have the real or potential capability
via the “clickstream” to identify and track the
behaviour of the individuals accessing their medium. Particular
care needs to be taken in this circumstance that user identities
be kept secret and user privacy be respected by no more contact
than is necessary for proper maintenance of equipment and
the production of accurate user estimates. Moreover, research
subjects must never be contacted for direct marketing or other
non-research purposes by research conductors themselves.
