Our client/your employer
Your employer will not have access to your personalised report or any of the information stored within your Diagnostic user account, and we will not share any of this information with your employer.
However, we will derive anonymous statistical data from technical user data, job role data, diagnostics data, 360° reviewer data and support request data for the purposes of reporting to your employer in respect of its employees’ engagement, progress and attainment (as a cohort rather than as individuals). The data we use for this purpose is anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the individuals to whom it relates. Analysis data shared with your employer will always meet a minimum group size of participants in order to retain anonymity. It will not be possible to combine multiple groups to isolate an individual participant.
Does Mind Gym transfer personal data outside the UK?
Our use of the service providers referred to above involves transfers outside the UK, as some are based outside the UK and their service infrastructure involves processing of data by them and their subcontractors in various countries outside the UK. We ensure that any transfers we make to our service providers comply with the conditions for transfers stipulated by data protection law, including making transfers subject to Standard Contractual Clauses or Adequacy Decisions. If you would like to know what that means in respect of your personal data collected via the Diagnostic, please contact us by emailing dpo@themindgym.com.
How long does Mind Gym store personal data?
We will retain the data we obtain via the Diagnostic only for so long as is necessary for the purposes described in this notice. The applicable retention periods are set out in our Data Retention Policy. If you would like to know what that means in respect of your personal data collected via the Diagnostic, please contact us by emailing dpo@themindgym.com.
