What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Data entered into the contact form will be used to contact you and respond to your enquiry. This data may subsequently be used to establish a business relationship with you.

Downloading your DISC test result

The DISC test is calculated entirely in your browser: your answers are not sent anywhere. If you choose to download your result as a PDF, you enter your name and email address (and, if you wish, your company and a project) and agree — by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked — to be contacted if a project comes up at your company. That information and your four scores are then sent to me by email, and to no one else; the PDF itself is produced in your browser. It is used for that follow-up only: no newsletter, never passed on. It is kept for as long as your consent stands; you can withdraw it, or ask to see or delete your data, via the Contact page.

Downloading your MBTI test result

The MBTI test works the same way: your answers stay in your browser. If you ask for your PDF report, you enter your name and email address (and, if you wish, your company and a project) and agree — by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked — to be contacted if a project comes up at your company. That information and your scores on the four axes are then sent to me by email, and to no one else; the PDF is produced in your browser. The same use, retention period and rights apply as for the DISC test above.

Downloading your conflict styles test result

The five conflict styles test, on the page about the Thomas-Kilmann method, works the same way: your answers stay in your browser. If you ask for your profile as a PDF, you enter your name and email address (and your company and project if you wish) and agree, by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked, to be contacted again if a project comes up in your organisation. This information and your five scores are sent to me by email, and to no one else; the PDF itself is generated in your browser. Same use, same retention period and same rights as for the DISC test above.

Downloading your Four Toltec Agreements self-assessment result

The leadership self-assessment based on The Four Toltec Agreements, on the page about applying them in management, works the same way: your answers stay in your browser. If you ask for your profile as a PDF, you enter your name and email address (and, if you wish, your company and a project) and agree — by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked — to be contacted if a project comes up at your company. That information and your four scores are then sent to me by email, and to no one else; the PDF is produced in your browser. The same use, retention period and rights apply as for the DISC test above.

Downloading your six work motivations test result

The six work motivations test, on the page about employee motivation, works the same way: your answers stay in your browser. If you ask for your profile as a PDF, you enter your name and email address (and, if you wish, your company and a project) and agree — by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked — to be contacted if a project comes up at your company. That information and your six scores are then sent to me by email, and to no one else; the PDF is produced in your browser. The same use, retention period and rights apply as for the DISC test above.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year. If you have an account and log in to this website, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is automatically deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, we will set up a number of cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. A login cookie lasts for two days, and a screen options cookie for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be removed. When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the ID of the post you have just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had 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.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to measure its audience: number of visits, pages viewed, and where your visit came from. These cookies are only set once you have explicitly agreed, through the banner shown on your first visit. Until you answer, or if you decline, nothing is sent to Google — not even your IP address.

You can change your mind at any time using the “Audience measurement” link at the foot of every page: the measurement cookies are deleted and collection stops immediately, without waiting for the page to reload. Your choice, whether you agreed or declined, is kept for six months, after which you are asked again. None of this data is used for advertising.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our site (where applicable), we also store the personal data provided in their profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also see and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
