1) Accountability

We are responsible for maintaining and protecting your personal information under our control. Our privacy officer has the responsibility for compliance with these principles.

2) Identifying Purposes

Before we collect your personal information, we will identify the purpose for which the information is being collected. Assessments are created to provide personal characteristic information for employee training, development, placement, or research.

3) Consent

Use of our website, or any products or services, indicates your implied consent and acceptance of our Terms of Use. Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, except where required or permitted by law. TalentClick requires that all participants taking an assessment have given their informed consent to participate in the assessment process. This concept of informed consent underlies all current and anticipated data protection guidelines and legislation. In order for assessment participants to give their informed consent, they must understand the purpose of the assessment, the use of the assessment data, and protection of the data.

4) Limiting Collection

We shall limit the collection of your personal information to that which is necessary for the purposes identified. We shall collect information only by fair and lawful means. TalentClick uses cookies and logs IP addresses of visitors in order to optimize our internal systems and processes. Some of the sites that we link to may use cookies, and we have no access to or control over those cookies. TalentClick is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of Web sites to which it may link or which may link to it.

5) Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

Data submitted by participants will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with any party other than the parties who have initiated the assessment process. TalentClick will retain data submitted by participants and will remove all participant-identifying information if the data is to be used for research purposes. We shall not use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, unless you have otherwise consented, or when it is required or permitted by law. We shall retain your personal information only for so long as is necessary to fulfill those purposes.

TalentClick takes every precaution to protect our users’ information through the use of SSL encryption and internal company policies regarding the disclosure of user information.
