2. THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Our legal basis for the collection and processing of data is determined as a ‘legitimate interest’ in that we need this information to conduct our business or to serve our Clients.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

• Legitimate Interest this means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us at enquiries@mosaictasks.com.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, with the legal bases we rely on to do so.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

Promotional offers from us

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you have provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the [COMPANY] group of companies for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by EMAILING enquiries@mosaictasks.com at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product OR service experience or other transactions.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see https://www.mosaictasks.com/cookie-policy.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact admin@mosaictasks.com.

As an example, when you complete a Mosaic Personality Tasks assessment you cannot complete it again for 6 months as to do so would impact how you complete the tasks and the validitiy of the assessment. If a different person/company asks you to complete the Mosaic Tasks within this timeframe we will email you to ask you to confirm (or decline) that the valid data we have for you can be used to produce reports for this new person/company. If you decline we will be unable to produce any reports for this new company and will inform them that you have not completed the Mosaic Personality Tasks. In order to protect your privacy we will not inform the company that you have previously completed Mosaic Personality Tasks.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5. WHO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

We will take all reasonable actions to ensure that our Clients use personal information in a professional manner in compliance with all existing legislation covering employment and use of personal information.

Users of the assessment platform should use the personal information provided solely and exclusively for the purpose that should have been clearly communicated to respondents prior to completing any assessment. Users should adhere and comply with existing legislation covering employment or use and retention of personal information under the Data Protection Act. Such requirements are required under our Terms and Conditions for use of the website and Mosaic platform.

Whilst we require such compliance as a condition of use of our website, we can take no responsibility for the usage of personal information beyond the immediate provision of reports and services to our Clients. It is advised that respondents seek the Legal Notice and Privacy Policy of the organisation that has invited them to complete the assessment to understand more fully how the personal information provided to them by Us is used. If respondents were invited to complete an assessment by a party other than Mosaic Assessments Ltd, they need to be mindful that they are entering into an agreement with this party, and the use of their personal information will be further subject to this agreement.

We will never knowingly provide any personal information to third parties with whom respondents have not entered into an agreement (whether formally or tacitly). For example, we do not pass data or contact information to anyone, save for the original party who may have invited respondents to undertake an assessment.

7. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

The assessment platform has been designed to ensure security is a primary consideration of Mosaic Assessments Ltd. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and we therefore cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

We will retain personal information relating to personality assessments in a form identifiable to the respondent for not longer than 12 months from the date that you either a) complete an assessment OR b) you confirm acceptance for us to use the existing data for a different client or purpose (in this case the data would be kept for a maximum of 18 months from date you complete an assessment) . However, we may destroy such data much earlier than this. We may hold information indefinitely, but without any reference to respondents as an individual, i.e. it will be held anonymously and will be non-identifiable. However this data will be used solely for research and development purposes, and to ensure our products meet the highest standards of technical quality. In which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Again, whilst, we seek to ensure our Clients and Associates act with the highest professional standards, and in compliance with existing legislation, we take no responsibility for actions of Third Parties not employed by Mosaic Assessments Ltd.

Please note that our policies on privacy will be overridden where we are required or permitted to disclose personal information under law or the terms of any court order.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your legal rights below for further information.

What we may need from you
