MySkillsProfile is committed to ensuring that privacy of data provided by users is protected. We apply a risk-based approach aligned with FERMA’s risk management principles and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any personal or customer information collected through our sites with third parties unless required by law or expressly authorized.
Our Range of Products
MySkillsProfile offers behavioral style self-assessments and 360-degree feedback surveys.
MySkillsProfile Users
MySkillsProfile has three categories of user:
- Individual Users – visitors who complete an assessment independently and purchase their own report. These users have limited direct access to their test results and do not have any log-in access.
- Corporate Account Administrators – HR professionals or consultants who manage assessments/surveys for groups of test-takers.
- Corporate Users – test-takers invited by the Administrator to complete assessments.
The Administrator is normally either a member of an organization’s HR Department or a self-employed consultant. The creation of an account requires that the client identifies the Administrator to manage the assessments available under their account. While the Administrator is a single person, it is possible that the email address of the Administrator is accessible to more than one person in the customer organization. The Administrator can invite test-takers individually or create a generic login for a group of test-takers.
MySkillsProfile offers a White Label service enabling customers to brand assessment screens and feedback reports with their organization name and logo.
Information We Collect
- Core Personal Data - Name and Email address.
- Additional Personal Data - Test-taker’s current management level for certain assessments; in the 360-degree survey, the relationship of the assessors' relationship to the assessee (e.g., manager, direct report, peer).
- Assessment Item Data - The test-taker’s responses to assessment items.
- Results Data - Test taker scores generated by our automated analytical processes.
Purpose of Collection of Personal Data
Personal data is collected for the following purposes:
- The Email address of the Administrator enables test-takers to communicate with the Administrator (e.g., questions about the assessment, technical issues, requests for feedback reports.)
- The Email address of a test-taker enables us to send a unique assessment access link and the feedback report. It is also used to help a test-taker complete an assessment and obtain results where support is needed.
- The Name of the test-taker is collected to generate a personalized feedback report and to address test-takers in our communications.
We design our processes to minimize risks to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in line with FERMA’s principles.
Data Life Cycle & Retention
MySkillsProfile delivers assessments and provides results dynamically. We automatically anonymize minimal personal identifiers (Name, Email) after 120 days. Beyond this, clients and Administrators are responsible for storing and managing all assessment data (Personal Data, Assessment Data, Results Data) once delivered or accessed via the platform.
Clients must define and enforce their own retention, deletion, and access policies for assessment data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. MySkillsProfile may retain anonymized aggregate data for research and development (e.g., norm updates and validation studies).
Data Access & Controls
During the 120-day period before anonymization:
- Individual Users: Only MySkillsProfile staff have access to data supplied by the test-taker. The feedback report is accessible only by the test-taker and MySkillsProfile staff upon request.
- Corporate Users: Administrators control access to results and determine whether, when, and how reports are distributed. MySkillsProfile staff may provide technical support but do not control storage or retention.
Clients are responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards, secure storage, and access controls for any reports or datasets they download, store, or circulate internally.
Regulations
Use of assessment and profiling in recruitment and development is governed by local or regional regulations and informed by guidance from professional bodies and best practice. For example, in the European Union (EU), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) places obligations on how organizations handle and store personal data. Under GDPR, individuals in the EU have rights including the right to be informed, to access their data, and to have their data erased.
Responsibilities of Clients
Clients and Administrators are the data controllers of assessment results within their organization. Clients are responsible for:
- Ensuring their Administrators comply with applicable data protection laws.
- Defining and enforcing retention, deletion, and access policies for assessment data.
- Responding to individual rights requests (access, amendment, erasure) relating to assessment results stored in their systems.
MySkillsProfile is not responsible for how clients store, manage, or process data once it has been accessed, downloaded, or distributed through the platform.
