ISPA may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version of the Privacy Policy will govern our use of your information and will always be located here. Unless stated otherwise, changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we may choose to notify you by posting a notice of such changes on the Site.

The Information We Collect
This Site contains a Quizzz that asks you to answer a series of questions. Your answers are designed to guide you through identifying and prioritizing your likes and dislikes with your current mattress to help you find the right fit when shopping for a new mattress. You may save your answers to the Quizzz on your phone, tablet, computer or other electronic device, and you may print out your answers to the Quizzz. You have the option to share either an electronic or hard copy of your Quizzz answers with a mattress retail sales associate or with any other person, and to share your answers via Facebook, Twitter and other social media. To allow ISPA to improve the user experience on this Site, you also have the option to provide ISPA your email address after you have taken the Quizzz.
The following describes which of the categories of information ISPA stores, whether that information is personally identifiable, and how ISPA will use your personally identifiable information.
Information That Is Not Personally Identifiable
Like many websites, ISPA uses a third party service provider, such as Google Analytics, to collect information about your use of our Site. We track data about traffic to our Site, as well as your visit to and experience on our Site, and your answers to the Quizzz. None of the information collected using such analytics, however, is personally identifiable to you. We use that information for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to improving and enriching our Site structure and content, as well as to compile aggregate data to help ISPA better understand the relative importance of factors that are relevant consumers when shopping for a mattress that meets their needs. ISPA may use and share with third parties aggregated information that does not uniquely identify you.
If you save your answers to the Quizzz on your phone, tablet, computer or other electronic device, print out your answers to the Quizzz, or transmit an electronic copy of your answers to a mattress retail sales associate or any other person, none of those actions will result in ISPA collecting any personally identifiable information from you, or permit ISPA to link to you personally any of the data we have collected using the analytics described above.
Personally Identifiable Information
“Personally identifiable information” refers to information that tells us who you are, such as your email address. ISPA collects and maintains personally identifiable information about you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. You may always refuse to supply personally identifiable information, and may visit our Site and participate in all aspects of the Quizzz anonymously.
At most, the only personally identifiable information that ISPA will collect from you in connection with the Quizzz is your email address, which you are asked to consider providing after you have completed the Quizzz. If you decide to provide your email address, ISPA will use it exclusively to request feedback that we can use to improve the user experience on this Site. ISPA will not use your email address for any other purpose, and will not sell or transfer your email address to any third party. ISPA will not link your email address to any information we may have collected using the analytics described above.
If you email us or contact us with regard to questions regarding this Privacy Policy, we also collect your email address (see email address under Questions). ISPA will use this information exclusively to respond to your email, and will not sell or transfer your email address to any third party.
By choosing at your option to provide ISPA with your email address, you are consenting ISPA’s use of such personally identifiable information as described above.
