Insight Assessment is a distributor of high quality tests and surveys. As such, Insight Assessment is committed to deliver the tests or surveys its clients have assigned to their test-takers in an accurate and timely manner. Insight Assessment is also committed to providing for its clients accurate test scores, survey results, and reports of such demographic information as is entered by test-takers in response to the questions on their assigned tests or surveys which those clients have contracted with Insight Assessment to deliver. As standardized testing has become more prevalent and in some cases more high stakes, and as culturally the sensitivity to the privacy of personal information has grown, it becomes increasingly important for the protection of our company, our clients, and our test-takers for Insight Assessment to notify all persons of a number of important matters. Thus the following notices are hereby published and made public.
