Information . Trone is the sole owner of the information collected on opinions@trone. We collect personally identifiable information from our Panelists in the initial questionnaire Panelists complete. We will not sell, distribute, or make available in any form personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, phone, or email) of any Panelist without their express permission. We will not solicit you or ask you to purchase anything from us. As noted in our initial questionnaire, we are marketing specialists and we frequently need opinions on new ideas. When we need your opinion, we will contact you and provide you with the opportunity to participate in a survey panel. We collect the information provided to us by Panelists who choose to complete a survey that they have been invited to complete. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others, but we will provide to others summaries of the information we obtain from surveys. We may also invite Panelists to participate in a more in-depth survey or an interview by telephone or in person. If we do so, it will be an invitation that a Panelist can either accept or reject.
