What does GMAC do with the contact information?
We check contact lists provided by schools against each other to ensure that individual employers do not receive multiple invitations to participate in the same survey. We also assign individuals to their respective schools to run School Benchmarking Reports. We keep on file only contact information of employers that participate in survey to be able to approach them for the next round of the survey. Such contact information is encrypted and stored on a stand-alone secure server; only limited number of people within Research & Development department has access to the files. All contact information of non-participating individuals are deleted from GMAC systems within 30 days after the survey closes. If a school chooses to administer the survey, we delete its contact information immediately after checking the list to eliminate duplicate entries with other schools.
