Surveys

BT INS regularly surveys networking professionals on performance, cost of ownership, security, web-based management and similar networking topics. These surveys collect job-related demographic data, such as your job title, the type of company you work for, the size of its IT budget, and so on. These data are used to interpret the survey results and are published in our survey reports. Contact information (your e-mail address) is optional. We occasionally contact survey participants about our services.

Newsletter Subscriptions

Our site offers subscriptions to several e-mailed newsletters. To fulfill your subscription, we ask for your e-mail address along with other information that allows us to personalize newsletter content. We do not use your information for any other purpose. Opt-out capability appears at the bottom of each newsletter

Promotional Offers

BT INS offers whitepapers and related material thorough advertising on search engine services such as Google and Yahoo. We follow-up with individuals who download our collateral material to see if a sales opportunity may exist. We give individuals the opportunity to opt-out of any further communication based on their original interest.

Seminar Registrations

BT INS offers free web seminars. You register for these seminars using our online registration form which requests some minimal personal data. Your information will be shared with: co-sponsors, if any, to customize the seminar to the interests of attendees; a company (which is under a non-disclosure agreement) that handles the registration process and confirms your registration with you.

You will not be contacted if you let us know you do not wish to hear from us. Opt-out capability appears at the bottom of each web seminar invitation.
