The company conducting this research program is RTI. They ignore requests to put your number on their internal Do Not Call List. They ignore the number block (*67) flag and are able to record and recite your number even if you attempt to block it. They repeatedly call numbers even after the owner of the number asks them to stop calling and put them on their Internal Do Not Call List. This is a very unethical company. Why would you trust them with your personal information??!!!!!

The data interviewer claims the survey takes 30 minutes with a 2 minute pre-screener. They want your name, DOB (Age), Address, income, Sex, Sexual Preference, County Of Origin, and ask health related questions.
Who knows where this data will be sold, copied, or given to. While they have a page titled Assurance of Confidentiality, this does not prevent rogue entities from stealing and selling your personal information.
