1. TO WHOM DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLY?

This Privacy Policy applies to any person or entity delivering, entering or in any other way registers or have registered data, through the Platform and its related products, services, and any other functionality. Thus, this Privacy Policy applies to you. If you are not of age, you must obtain the consent of your parent or guardian prior to submitting any data to the Platform.

2. END-USER’S, CULTURE EXPLOIT, CULTURE EXPLOIT’S PARTNERS AND THIRD PARTIES

End-Users (“End-Users”) are typically using the Platform to collect, and process data through the Platform. An End-User is for example a company inviting you to complete an assessment as part of their hiring process.

Partners of Culture Exploit are for example, but not limited to Culture Exploit’s distribution channel, business and/or alliance partners etc.

Third parties (“Third Parties”) are any other entity than End-Users.

4. YOUR DATA

Data (“Data”) means specific information regarding the personal or material circumstances related to you as a specific and/or identifiable individual. This includes information like (but not limited to) your real name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, photo(s), video(s), assessment data, IP address, username and password, background information such as educational attainment, interests, any content you submit using a Platform service, payment information etc., and any other data you communicate, register, or deliver to the Platform.

When you enter the Platform, an account (“Account”) is created for you, or you may be required to create an Account. Culture Exploit strives to ensure that Data collected through the Platform is relevant, up-to-date and not excessive in relation to the intended purposes. Any information not being directly relatable to your real identity is not considered to be Data.

Culture Exploit may also collect Data automatically using its website technologies, its other websites or systems, or receive Data form for example analytics and search information providers, payment services etc., and from Culture Exploit Partners and Third Parties. Culture Exploit may use this to refine and/or combine Data.

You have the right to have your Account and the Data connected to it, archived or anonymised:

If your Account is archived, your Data is intact but no longer available to anyone but Culture Exploit. If you request to have your account unarchived, you at the same time automatically approve the at that time present Terms of Use.

If your Account is anonymised, your Data is anonymised and can no longer be connected to you or restored to your Account, and neither can your Account be restored.

You are entitled to inspect your personal Data (not including assessment data etc.), and if incorrect to correct such personal Data stored by the Platform. If you are not able to inspect and correct incorrect personal Data online, you may direct your request to datamanager@cultureexploit.com.

5. HANDLING YOUR DATA

The Data voluntarily communicated, registered, delivered or entered to the Platform, and other Data and information collected, is stored by the Platform.

Your Data may not be stored and/or processed in your own country, or it may be transferred and subsequently stored and/or processed outside your own country. The primary reasons for this is that Culture Exploit’s IT infrastructure provider may have servers in many different countries, and because servicing for example global End-Users may require your Data to be transferred, stored, and/or processed in other countries than your own. Please contact datamanager@cultureexploit.com if you want to know where your Data is physically stored and/or processed.

If your Data is archived, anonymised or deleted, such requests are in principle executed instantly in our database(s). However, your original Data may still exist on one or more backup systems, and depending on the backup cycle(s), it may take some time before all copies of your original Data are processed.

If your Data has not been used or accessed for a given period (typically 6 to 24 months), Culture Exploit has the right to archive, anonymise or delete your Account, and your Data without notification. If you want to archive or anonymise your Account and your Data, please direct your request to datamanager@cultureexploit.com

6. USING YOUR DATA

Your Data is primarily used By the End-User who invited you to provide Data. Data is typically presented to End-User in reports after being processed by the Platform. End-User may export Data from the Platform and process it (further) outside the Platform. In that case, it is End-User’s responsibility to protect your Data.

Your Data is also used by Culture Exploit for statistic and/or scientific purposes, and in the effort to keep the Platform safe and secure.

Your contact information, which is part of your Data, may be used by Culture Exploit and Culture Exploit Partners according to article 8.

Culture Exploit and its distribution channel may have direct or indirect access to all or some of your Data in its original and/or processed format when servicing and supporting End-Users.

Except for fully anonymised Data, Culture Exploit will not disclose your Data to Third Parties unless it is required by law enforcement institutions or to comply with the law; for Culture Exploit intermediaries to comply with this Privacy Policy; to protect Culture Exploit and its business, rights and assets; or if you voluntarily provide Data or information to an advert presented by Culture Exploit on behalf of a Third Party. In such case, Culture Exploit will inform you.

Finally, if Culture Exploit is substantially sold or otherwise handed over to any other entity, your Data may be transferred to that entity.

7. DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY

The System complies with present EU data protection laws and regulations, and your Data is stored and processed in accordance with the legal regulations applicable within the European Union. In general, your Data is also protected by separation of personal Data and other Data, and partial database encryption.

The online transmission of your Data is performed through secured connections to protect your Data from manipulation and/or unauthorised access. Data protection and security is paramount to Culture Exploit, and we take reasonable measures to prevent unauthorised access or manipulation of your Data. However, unfortunately Culture Exploit cannot guarantee that communication carried by the Internet (for instance, but not limited to e-mail correspondence or entering Data into the Platform) is secure.

Do not reveal personal information in the Platform’s forums or chat rooms (if any).

Do not support and/or encourage violations against Culture Exploit policies, principles or guidelines.

Your Data, both in its original and in any processed form, is handled confidentially by Culture Exploit. Furthermore, we require other entities having access to your Data to handle it, no matter the format, confidentially.

Some countries require a local Data Protection Officer, and you can request to be contacted by a Data Protection Officer by sending a request to datamanager@cultureexploit.com

8. COMMUNICATION

However, you can decline such contact by notifying datamanager@cultureexploit.com, or by opting out online where and when it is possible.
