What personal data we collect and why we collect it

For those users who are visiting our websites:

From time to time, we may invite visitors to our website to contact us with questions they may have about our service offerings, to submit a resume in response to job opportunities or to participate in online surveys in which we ask various demographic or product preference-related questions. This information will be used for purposes of improving our site, keeping you informed about our latest products and services, or responding to your inquiry. Your participation is entirely voluntary.

For those users who take our assessments and questionnaires:

In addition to providing general contact information such as name and email address, those who take our assessments and questionnaires may be asked to provide information which includes, but is not limited to, gender, ethnicity, nationality, work experience (e.g., years of experience) and educational background (e.g., highest degree obtained). These additional questions are always optional and you will not be required to provide this information to use peoplefactors.com services. The answers that you do give are stored on a secure database. However they are not presented with your results, nor are they disclosed to any person. We use this information, in an aggregated form (that is in an anonymous form, grouped together with data from other people), to ensure that the exercises are fair for everyone and not biased towards any one group.

For those users who purchase services from us and/or administer assessments or questionnaires:

In addition to general contact information, we may collect other account-related information where appropriate, such as corporate banking account numbers (for payment purposes). We use this information to process your orders, market our products, provide technical support and customer service, and analyze your usage of our services. We may also obtain a credit report or similar financial background check on you from third party vendors, such as Dun & Bradstreet, to assist us in evaluating your request for our services. peoplefactors.com may, on occasion, directly contact you about new products, services, or special offers, but we will not pass on your details to any third parties without your express permission.

Cookies

When you sign on to our website, we may pass a cookie (a string of information that is sent by our website to be stored in your computer’s memory). Cookies are not used to run programs and cannot deliver viruses to your computer. We only use temporary cookies which delete themselves after use, and we do not collect personal data from you in this way. We use cookies to record user-specific data relating to online test sessions (e.g., date test completed) and for other purposes related to site administration. You can set your browser to decline cookies if you wish. However this is likely to hinder the performance of our website and negatively impact your experience.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

peoplefactors does not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to others. However, we may share your information with third party service providers who are providing a service to you through our website. For example if you accessed our website through an Applicant Tracking System as part of an application for a job, we may return your results to that Applicant Tracking System to enable you to continue your job application. The information that we provide to them will be the minimum necessary to allow them to provide the required service. We request that these third parties do not use the information for purposes beyond that of providing the required service. We may disclose personal information about you, without notice, in response to (i) requests from law enforcement officials or data protection authorities; (ii) if requested by any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding or order, such as subpoena; (iii) if required by law.

Assessment and questionnaire results, as well as the information you provide to peoplefactors as part of answering an assessment or questionnaire, will be shared with the entity who arranged the assessment or questionnaire for you. We may also disclose aggregate (and anonymous) information about a group of users for a such an entity. peoplefactors will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us for purposes unrelated to the purposes and circumstances described in this Privacy Statement.

Scores and other responses are often transmitted immediately to the entity who arranged the assessment or questionnaire for you. Upon reasonable request, peoplefactors will provide you an opportunity to access and update your personal information that we have on file.
