Your Privacy Is Our No.1 Concern
BartenderLounge.com is a site owned and operated by Braun Research, Inc. Braun Research, Inc. is a privately-owned online data collection company that builds and maintains online consumer and B2B panels. You can be assured your privacy and the confidentiality of your information is our number one priority.

All individual information provided is held strictly confidential.
Information We Gather and Its Use
To become a panel member, we ask that you fill out a registration form that gathers some personal information. We ask for your email address so that we can send you email invitations to participate in our surveys. All email contacts from Bartender Lounge will be sent to your primary email address that you gave to us upon registration. We also ask you for your name and contact address. This information is required so we are able to send your reward to the appropriate recipient address. Once you are a member of the Bartender Lounge Research Panel, your information is stored in our secure proprietary database so we may call upon it to determine which people match up with specific research studies. If we think your profile makes you a potential candidate for a study, we will email you an invitation to make you aware of this opportunity.
