The personal data we collect
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where your identity has been removed (“Anonymous Data”).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
Identity Data
Title, first name, last name, gender.
Contact Data
Home/work address, email address, contact telephone number.
Psychometric Data
If you agree, we will collect results of your psychometric assessment from our third-party assessment provider. This data is drawn from the psychometric assessment you have taken prior to starting a development programme with us. Please see the “Psychometric Assessment” section below.
Technical Data
Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technical information about the devices you use to access our website.
Usage Data
Information about how you use our website (e.g. what pages you access most frequently, how long you remain on certain pages etc.)
Health Data
We may take note of any disabilities or conditions which you tell us about, so that we can make reasonable adjustments when providing coaching services to you.
Psychometric assessments
Psychometric assessments are intended to provide a way to objectively measure certain skills, attitudes, personality traits and abilities. Whilst they are not definitive, we use them as a way to gain an insight into your personality, behaviours, and how you relate to others in specific situations. This insight is then incorporated into our bespoke development programmes.
How we obtain your data
Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you, when you contact us by phone, email, letter or by enquiring through our website.
On occasions we also receive personal data about you indirectly, when it is passed to us by third parties, as follows:
- your employer will disclose your identity data and contact data; and
- our psychometrics assessment provider will disclose the results of the psychometric assessment you have taken, if you consent.
Legal basis for collecting your personal data
If you have directly employed us, the collection of your personal data is necessary for us to be able to provide our services to you.
If your employer has contracted for these services on your behalf, it is in our legitimate interests to collect the personal data we hold about you.
In the case of any special category data we hold, we will only process this with your explicit consent.
Legitimate interests
We may rely on legitimate interests to process your personal data, provided that your interests do not override our own. Where we rely on legitimate interests, these interests are:
- to grow our business and inform our marketing strategies;
- to keep our records updated and to study how our website is used; and
- to administer and protect our business and web presence (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting).
What we do with the information we have
When contacting you for the above purposes we may do so by phone or email, unless you instruct us not to do so.
Disclosing your personal data
We may need to disclose your personal data to third parties. Where we do so, any such disclosure will be on the basis that these third parties are required to keep the data we give them confidential and secure, and will not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us. We may disclose personal data as follows:
- we will disclose your name and email address to our psychometrics assessment provider, so that they can send you a link to the relevant assessments;
- personal data will be disclosed to our overseas consultants where necessary (e.g. if some or all of our services are to take place in Germany, we will disclose personal data to our local associates there, who will carry out this work);
- we will share personal data with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If any such change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy; and
- we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order. We also may need to retain and disclose certain personal data about you to regulatory authorities and to appropriate agencies to conduct anti-money laundering checks and to assist with fraud prevention. We will disclose this information as is required by law.
How we store your data
Your data will be treated in accordance with applicable data protection law. It will not be disclosed to anyone outside of Kura Consulting, our affiliated or associated companies, and any other parties named or described in this Privacy Policy. Your personal data is securely stored electronically and with adequate security protection that is reviewed on a regular basis. Only authorised employees have access to this data. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the Information Commissioner’s Office of a breach where we are legally required to do so. However, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of the internet, external networks, or your own device, accordingly any online communications (e.g. information you give us by email) are at your own risk.
Links to third party websites
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the personal data collected by Kura Consulting and does not apply to any third-party websites we may link to (e.g. our psychometric assessment provider). Kura Consulting is not responsible for the privacy policies of third-party websites. You should read the privacy policies of other websites before providing them with any personal data about you.
Your data protection rights
We want you to remain in control of your personal data. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are as follows:
- your right of access: you have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data;
- your right to rectification: you have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete;
- your right to erasure: you have the right to ask us to erase your personal data in certain circumstances (though this is not an absolute right and may not apply if we need to continue using it for a lawful reason);
- your right to restriction of processing: you have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances;
- your right to object to processing: you have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances; and
- your right to data portability: you have the right to ask that we transfer the personal data we hold about you to another organisation in a portable electronic format (where technically feasible), or to you, in certain circumstances.
Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so (for example, because the data you are requesting no longer exists or there is an exception which applies to your request). Please contact us using the information above if you would like further information about your rights, or wish to exercise any of them.
Making a complaint
If you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, please contact us using the information above. If you are not happy with our response, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees data protection compliance in the UK.
