HR METRICS PRIVACY AND PERSONAL DATA NOTIFICATION

Collection and Use of Personal Information:

Personal information refers to any data that can identify an individual or can be used to communicate with them. When you contact HR METRICS, access our Website, or use our products, you may be asked to provide personal information.

HR METRICS can share and use this personal data in accordance with legal limits. Additionally, to provide and enhance our products, services, content, and promotions, this data can be combined with other information. While you're not obliged to share your personal information with us, if you choose not to, we might not be able to offer our products or services or answer your inquiries. Due to the nature of the HR sector, employers might search for employees with specific profiles and may require certain personal data of potential employees; hence, it is recommended to consent to sharing your personal information to fully benefit from our services.

Below are examples of the personal data HR METRICS might collect and how we might use them:

Types of Personal Information We Collect:

When you connect to our services or contact us, we might collect various details such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and communication preferences.
When you share your content with third parties using HR METRICS services, HR METRICS uses this information to address your needs, provide relevant products and services, and prevent fraud.
Reports prepared on the results of tests, inventories or surveys answered by you are used for the purpose of performing these evaluations.
In order to ensure the security of the tests, the preservation of visual security records (web camera images) can be carried out with your permission in the matters presented on the preliminary information screens regarding the said tests.

How We Use Your Personal Information:

Your personal data will be processed in alignment with the purposes described here, obtaining your consent, and adhering to the legal obligations of HR METRICS. This might include fulfilling a contract, safeguarding your critical interests, or for the legitimate interests pursued by HR METRICS or third parties we might disclose information to. If you have questions about the legal basis, you can contact us.

The personal information we collect aids in updating you on HR METRICS's new product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. If you don't wish to be on our mailing list, you can update your preferences to opt-out at any time.
We use personal information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and enhance our products, services, content, and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. We might also use your personal information to protect our services, pre-screen and scan content for potential illegal activities, and ensure account and network security. When you perform an online transaction with us, we use your personal data to prevent fraud. Our use of data for anti-fraud purposes is strictly for our legitimate interests to protect our customers and services. Additionally, we may verify information you provide using publicly available sources.
To verify your identity, assist in verifying user identities, and determine appropriate services, we might use your personal information, including your birth date. We might use your personal data to send important notices, like changes in terms and policies. This information is vital for your interaction with HR METRICS, and you might not opt out of receiving such communications.
For internal purposes like auditing, data analysis, and research, we might use your personal information.
If you apply for a position posted by HR METRICS or an HR METRICS solution partner or if we access your information, we can use this information to evaluate your candidacy and contact you. If you're a candidate, you can obtain more details on how HR METRICS handles candidate data during the application process.

Source of Personal Data Not Provided by You

We may have obtained your personal data from other individuals who have shared content with you using HR METRICS services, sent you gift certificates or products, or invited you to participate in HR METRICS services. Additionally, when setting up your HR METRICS identity, we may validate the information you provide for security and fraud prevention with a third party.

If you're a potential candidate for employment at HR METRICS, your personal data might come from third parties like recruitment agencies or external websites. We may use the personal data we obtain to contact you about a potential opportunity or to evaluate your candidacy. If you didn't provide the data directly to us, we will inform you of the source when we first contact you regarding your candidacy. For research and development purposes, we might use data sets containing images, sounds, or other data that could be associated with an identifiable person. When we obtain such data sets, we do so in compliance with the laws of the country hosting the data. When using these data sets for research and development, we will not attempt to re-identify individuals within the data.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We may also collect data that, on its own, does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We can collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. Examples of the non-personal information we collect and how we use it include:

To better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising, we might collect information like occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referral URL, location, and the time HR METRICS services are used.
We might collect information about customer activities on our website. This data helps us offer more useful information to our customers and understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is viewed as non-personal information.
Details about how you use our services may be collected and stored. This information can be used to enhance the relevance of results provided by our services. Unless it's essential for ensuring the quality of our online services, this data isn't linked to your IP address.
If we combine non-personal data with personal data, the combined data will be treated as personal for as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and Other Technologies

HR METRICS's websites, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use "cookies" and other technologies like pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us understand user behavior, show us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We consider information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. Yet, if local laws consider Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers as personal information, we treat those identifiers as personal too. Similarly, if non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal as long as it's combined.

While using our website, online services, and applications, HR METRICS may use identifiers and other technologies to remember your personal information. This is to make your HR METRICS experience more comfortable and personalized. For instance, knowing your name allows us to greet you when you revisit our website. Knowing your country and language (and if you're an educator, your school) helps us offer a more personalized shopping experience. If you're job hunting in a specific sector, knowing your preference lets us match you with employers in that sector. Knowing the details about your computer or device helps us personalize your operating system and provide better customer service.

Disclosure to Third Parties

At times, HR METRICS may provide certain personal data to third parties to provide or improve our products and services (this includes assisting with product deliveries or aiding in marketing products to consumers). In such cases, we ensure that these third parties use the information in compliance with relevant laws. HR METRICS does not sell personal information, and it's never shared with third parties for marketing purposes. HR METRICS recognizes that personal data is invaluable and shouldn't be commoditized.

Public Order

There might be situations where disclosing your personal data is necessary for HR METRICS due to the laws, legal processes, or requests from public or governmental bodies of your country or other countries. We might also disclose data about you if we determine it's necessary for national security, law enforcement, or other matters of public importance. Additionally, if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to ensure our terms and conditions are met or to protect our operations or users, we may disclose information about you. In such cases, we might disclose to the public or regulatory authorities. Remember that HR METRICS takes the security of your personal data very seriously.
