Privacy Policy Addendum 
Market Research Interviews

This addendum forms part of the Clause Crew Privacy Policy and applies where you participate in a market research interview, product discovery call, user research session, survey, feedback session or similar research activity with us.

1. Purpose of our research

Clause Crew may conduct market research interviews and related research activities to better understand how businesses manage vendor contracts, supplier relationships, contract renewals, compliance obligations and related business processes.

These research activities are for product development, service improvement, market validation, customer discovery and related business planning purposes. They are not sales calls, legal consultations or professional advisory sessions.

2. What information we may collect

During a research activity, we may collect personal information and business-related information you choose to provide, including:

  • your name;

  • business name;

  • role, title or industry;

  • contact details;

  • information about your organisation’s contract management processes;

  • information about tools, systems, workflows, spreadsheets or software used by your organisation;

  • information about vendor or supplier management practices;

  • information about contract renewal, compliance or operational issues;

  • opinions, preferences, experiences and feedback;

  • interview notes, summaries, transcripts or recordings, where applicable;

  • referral details, if you introduce or suggest another person for us to contact; and

  • any other information you choose to share.

We ask that you do not provide confidential, commercially sensitive, privileged, regulated, personal, sensitive or third-party information unless you are authorised to do so and it is appropriate in the circumstances.

In particular, please do not share actual contract documents, customer lists, employee information, pricing schedules, legal advice, passwords, access credentials, health information, government identifiers or information that would breach any duty of confidence, employment obligation, contract, law or professional obligation.

3. Recording interviews

We may ask to record research interviews for note-taking, transcription, analysis and product development purposes.

We will only record an interview if you consent. You may decline recording and still participate in the interview, unless we tell you before the session that recording is required for that particular research activity.

If you consent to recording, we may create audio recordings, video recordings, transcripts, summaries or research notes from the session.

You may ask us to stop recording at any time during the interview.

4. How we use research information

We may use information collected through research activities to:

  • understand market needs and customer problems;

  • identify common pain points, workflows and purchasing behaviours;

  • develop, test, improve or validate Clause Crew’s products, services, website, messaging and positioning;

  • create internal research notes, summaries, interview records, spreadsheets, reports and analysis;

  • prioritise features, pricing models, marketing language and product strategy;

  • improve our website, services, onboarding, customer experience and support materials;

  • follow up with you about the research or related services, where appropriate;

  • contact people you refer to us, where you have permission or where it is otherwise appropriate; and

  • comply with legal, administrative, accounting or record-keeping obligations.

5. Use of de-identified or aggregated insights

We may use de-identified, anonymised or aggregated insights from research activities in our product development, business planning, marketing, investor materials, website content, presentations, case studies or other business materials.

Where we use de-identified or aggregated information, we will take reasonable steps not to identify you or your organisation unless you have given us permission.

We will not publicly attribute quotes, comments, stories, examples or case studies to you or your organisation without your consent.

6. Confidentiality and sensitive business information

We will take reasonable steps to handle research information responsibly and securely.

However, research interviews are not intended to be a channel for receiving confidential business information, legal instructions, legal advice, privileged material, regulated information, personal information about third parties, or information subject to confidentiality restrictions.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide during a research activity can lawfully and appropriately be shared with us.

7. No legal advice or professional advice

Research interviews are for market research and product development only.

Nothing discussed during a research activity constitutes legal advice, compliance advice, financial advice, business advice or professional advice. You should not rely on anything discussed during a research activity as advice for your organisation.

Participation in a research activity does not create a solicitor-client relationship, advisory relationship, fiduciary relationship, consultancy relationship or customer relationship between you and Clause Crew.

8. Sharing research information

We may disclose research information to:

  • our personnel, contractors, consultants and advisers;

  • transcription, recording, video conferencing and note-taking providers;

  • cloud storage, CRM, analytics, survey and productivity software providers;

  • professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants and insurers;

  • potential business partners, advisers or investors, using de-identified or aggregated information where practical;

  • regulators, courts, tribunals, government agencies or law enforcement bodies where required or permitted by law; and

  • any other person or organisation with your consent or where otherwise permitted by law.

Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where applicable, we will handle overseas disclosure in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

9. Retention of research information

We may retain research notes, recordings, transcripts, summaries and related correspondence for as long as reasonably required for product development, business planning, record-keeping, legal, administrative or legitimate business purposes.

Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it.

  • decline to answer any interview question;

  • ask to stop an interview at any time;
