It is important that you read this Notice together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Notice supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.

Third Party links and Customers

Insights often deliver Insights Products directly to you in the context of a debrief, workshop, experience and/or learning event (an “Insights Event”).   However, we also enable Customers to deliver Insights Products to you through Insights Accredited Practitioners.

 

Your employer/organisation

Insights often accredits individuals to deliver and facilitate Insights Events, incorporating Insights Products, to you.  Where you undertake the Insights Discovery Evaluator or attend an Insights Event facilitated or delivered by a colleague, it is likely that your employer has paid for them to be accredited to deliver Insights Products internally to your employer/organisation.   We call your employer/organisation our “Direct Client” and Insights Accredited Practitioners within your employer or organisation are called “Client Practitioners”.

Insights provides Insights Products to Client Practitioners for the purposes set out in this Notice. Although Client Practitioners are accredited by Insights, as employees of your employer/organisation, they are under the control of our Direct Client and may act upon the Direct Client’s instructions.    Where your employer/organisation instructs or permits a Client Practitioner to process your personal data in a manner not set out in this Notice, they must have a lawful basis to do so, and they should provide you with a separate privacy notice or statement covering their processing activities. We encourage you to read all privacy notices and/or privacy statements given to you.

If you are concerned about how your employer/organisation may process the personal data provided to them by Insights, please contact them prior to providing any personal data to us.

Insights is not responsible for any processing activities carried out by Direct Client’s, Insights Accredited Practitioners, Administrators, Partners or otherwise, for any purpose other than those purposes specified in this Notice.

 

Provision through one of our Partners

Insights sometimes provides Insights Products to third parties who may incorporate such Insights Products (including, but not limited to, Personal Profiles and  Team Wheels which contain personal data about you), into their own programmes, products and/or services.  Although we share your Personal Profile, Colour Preferences, Team Wheel or other Insights Products with them for the purposes set out within this Notice, these third parties ( known as “Partners”) are not controlled by Insights and may incorporate such data about you), into their own programmes, products and/or services.

As independent controllers, Partners are responsible for their own compliance with data protection laws including information requirements.  The Partner should make themselves known to you and tell you how and why they process personal data as well as any lawful basis for their processing activities (should they deviate from the purposes set out in this Notice).    We encourage you to read all privacy notices and/or privacy statements given to you.  The privacy notices and statements provided to you by a  Partner should tell you how Insights Products are incorporated into their programmes, products and/or services, how and why they use your personal data and their lawful basis for their processing.

If you have any concerns with the way in which one of our Partners is handling your personal data you will need to address that directly with them, however, please feel free to let us know. We take such matters seriously and will investigate all complaints and treat your communications with respect.

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

 

The personal data we collect about you.

We generally collect personal data directly from you when you use or access our products and/or services. However, we may also collect information from third parties.

Our products are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

Where you are acting on behalf of a Customer, we will collect personal data mentioned above to the extent that you are named by the Customer or are directly involved in a relevant activity.  For example: if you are a named user of the company card or account which is to be used to purchase products and/or services, your identity data will be processed, or, if you are involved in the negotiation of a particular contract, we will process contact data and identity data to negotiate with you.

The personal data which we collect is usually collected in the following circumstances:

  • When you attend any of our premises and are required to provide information to us prior to or during the visit (e.g. we may need to keep a record that you are within the building in case of a fire).

For the purposes of this Notice our Partners are “Customers” as well as our Direct Clients.

 

Participant personal data.

When you are undertaking an Insights Discovery Evaluator, we will collect the following personal data:

  • Your full name;
  • Your work email address;
  • Your known as name;
  • Your preferred language;
  • Your preferred pronouns;
  • Country of residence (optional);
  • Age range (optional);

  • Job level (optional);
  • Sector (optional);
  • Sub-sector (optional);
  • Your responses to our Insights Discovery Evaluator;

  • Your Team Wheel

We may also collect personal data which you provide directly to us including, without limitation, when you fill in forms, provide feedback on our products and/or services or correspond with us in any manner, whether via post, email, through our website or otherwise.

 

The Insights Discovery Evaluator

In order to produce products such as the Personal Profile and  Team Wheel, we require to collect personal data from you through a questionnaire which we call the “Insights Discovery Evaluator”.  This psychometric tool uses a simple and memorable colour model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to their team.

The Insights Discovery Evaluator consists of a series of statements, and you will be asked to rank how well you believe each statement describes you and/or your preferences. Your answers will be processed by our algorithm, which relies on our decades of experience and development of our intellectual property to produce a Personal Profile which is personal to you.

We also keep a copy of your Insights Discovery Evaluator responses on file to:

  • Re-generate your Personal Profile (in the event you wish to receive another copy or an Insights Accredited Practitioners requires a copy in relation to an Insights Event which you are to attend);
  • Re-generate or update a Team Wheel (in the event that a new team member needs to be added, or you wish to receive a copy of an existing wheel);
  • enable you to make comparisons of your responses over time and to track your learning journey;
  • help you to discover more about yourself; and
  • to enable Insights Accredited Practitioners to engage with you throughout your learning journey.

This enables us to provide and you to obtain the full benefit of Insights Products as an individual through our Insights Accredited Practitioners.

We may provide Insights Products (incorporating your personal data) to Insights Accredited Practitioners more than once and to more than one such practitioner (i.e. we will provide your Personal Profile to an Insights Accredited Practitioner to allow them to provide it to you in connection with an Insights Event which you are to attend.  Please note: Insights Events may include attendees from other organisations which are not connected with your employer and/or organisation).

 

Profiling

Although we are using your responses to the Insights Discovery Evaluator to create a Personal Profile and Team Wheel, we are not ‘profiling’ as defined in data protection law because we are not using your information for automatic decision-making purposes.

 

Opting out of  Team Wheels or Personal Profiles

Please be aware that you are not obliged to provide us with your personal data.  If you would not like to receive a Personal Profile, please do not complete our Insights Discovery Evaluator because once completed, a Personal Profile will automatically be generated.

Once a Personal Profile is created and printed, your personal data may be shared with an Insights Accredited Practitioner  or Administrators and whilst we can delete any copies which we hold, we will not have control over any hard copies or electronic copies stored by your employer, organisation,  Insights Accredited Practitioner or Administrator. Therefore, it is important that you also request that your Insights Accredited Practitioner and/or Administrator also deletes any copies which they hold from their own systems.  Insights has no control over, and are not responsible for, which are not stored on our own internal systems.

You are entitled to opt out of being included in a  Team Wheel.  If you chose to opt out of the  Team Wheel, you may not receive the full benefit of any Insights Event which you are to attend.   If you would like to opt out of the  Team Wheel you can do so by contacting us by email: dpo@insights.com or by letting your Insights Accredited Practitioner know.

Once a  Team Wheel is created and printed, your personal data may be shared with other members of your Team and/or with your employer or organisation.  We can remove your wheel position from future electronic copies of  Team Wheels, but we may not be able to remove you from hard copies or electronic copies which are already in existence (i.e. which are stored by your employer, organisation or Insights Accredited Practitioner separately from us).  Therefore, it is important that you tell us that you wish to opt out as soon as possible and, where you have already been a part of a  Team Wheel, that you request your removal from existing  Team Wheels stored by your employer, organisation and/or Insights Accredited Practitioner. Insights has no control over, and is not responsible for,  Team Wheels which are not stored on Insights’ internal systems.

If you choose not to provide us with your personal data, or if you choose to opt out, it may delay or prevent us from providing some of our products and/or services to you or it may prevent you from receiving the full benefit of them.  Nevertheless, you are under no obligation to provide us with any of the personal data we request, and you are fully entitled to opt out at any time.

You may request that we delete your personal data from our records at any time by emailing dpo@insights.com

So that you are completely clear about how we use your personal data, even after we have completely anonymised it, we may use anonymised information in various ways including, without limitation: testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our service and developing new products and features.
