Insofar as we obtain the consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data relating to persons who are in the European Union.
We also collect and process personal data to facilitate our legitimate business interests in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). These interests include providing our products and services to you, communicating additional information to you regarding our products and services, and conducting other activities associated with managing our business.
When we process your personal data to facilitate our business interests, we balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). Prior to collecting and processing special categories of personal data that are, or might reasonably be considered to be, sensitive or otherwise subject to heightened protection under applicable laws, we will ask for your explicit consent. We will also ask for your consent in each case before processing your personal data other than as described in this Privacy Statement or as previously consented to by you. If you participate in an assessment, we will first obtain your consent to process your personal data, including contact information, assessment responses, and resulting profiles and reports as reasonably necessary to conduct the assessment. Your consent will establish a legal basis for such processing in accordance with GDPR Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. (a). The consent document for each assessment will provide you with specific information regarding how your data will be processed, prior to your taking the assessment. In accordance with GDPR Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. (b) Personal data can be processed in order to establish, execute or terminate a contract with you. This is also the case if we are legally obliged to process your personal data, cf. Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. (c) GDPR.
To provide you with information regarding our products and services and to enable you to use and procure them, we may collect personal data including but not limited to: ● name, ● telephone number, ● address, and email address. Some products, such as assessments, require the collection of additional information such as your responses to questions which identify thinking style preferences. Demographic and research information may also be requested. We use information collected from assessments to create and deliver reports, such as the HBDI® individual profile reports, profile transparency pages, data summary sheets, narrative descriptions and other reports. These reports are provided to certified practitioners for interpretation and distribution to assessment subjects or, in some cases, may be sent directly to them. Certified practitioners have been accredited by Herrmann to distribute and interpret assessment results responsibly and are required to do so in accordance with applicable laws. To enable you to interact with our websites, mobile apps, products and services, we may also collect passwords, password hints, and similar security information needed for authentication and account access. To enable purchases of products and services, we collect data necessary to process payments. Such information may include a credit card number and the associated security code if that is your chosen method of payment. We may also request and collect other data from you via forms on our websites. In some cases, our apps may permit you to enter, sync, store and process third party personal data, which will not be accessible to us. If you choose to use such app functionality, you are responsible for processing the personal data you enter, sync, store and process in conformance with all applicable data processing and privacy laws and regulations.
Our websites may automatically gather and store certain information in log files, including, without limitation, IP Address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exiting pages, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data. We also use personal data, to the extent necessary to: i. protect against and prevent fraud, legal claims, and liabilities; and to manage risk exposure; ii. respond to your inquiries and requests; iii process and manage opt-out or unsubscribe requests; iv. comply with applicable laws, regulations, codes, and industry standards and practices; v. create and send communications to you; vi. respond to subpoenas or to orders of a court or government agency; and vii. establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, including, without limitation, to protect Herrmann's rights and/or property.
The processing of personal data relating to persons who are in the European Union through the use of log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Examples of services which may give contractors or service providers access to personal data include: ● hosting our websites and services; ● hosting our email server; ● processing your payments; ● maintaining, enhancing, or adding to the functionality of our websites; ● processing and fulfilling orders; ● collecting web analytics data; and g. enabling us to send you email, or performing other administrative services.
If you participate in taking the HBDI® thinking preference assessment or other assessments offered by us, we may share your contact information, assessment responses, and assessment results with certified practitioners who have been accredited by Herrmann to administer assessments and interpret assessment results and reports. We may also share such data with persons assisting certified practitioners and with others who are involved in administering and coordinating assessments. Before receiving your data, all persons described in this paragraph must have: (i) agreed to protect the data and to use it only in accordance with the terms of the Access Agreement which you may review here. and (ii) been determined by authorized Herrmann personnel to have a legitimate need to access assessment data in order to facilitate, administer or coordinate assessments.
We have further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please contact the independent recourse mechanism listed below.
We may retain your personal data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of its collection. In most cases, this means that we will retain your personal data indefinitely. We also may retain your personal data during the period of time needed for us to pursue our legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR) or for direct marketing purposes.
