3. For what purpose will the data be processed?

3.1 Purposes of data processing:

The aforementioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • to contact you,
  • to transmit information that you request from us,
  • to share your name (possibly with your profile picture, if you have posted one) with other registered users of our Website in order to be found for building an ID37-internal network with users known to you and to mutually exchange Test Results, Personality Profiles and the other data communicated by you according to Sec. 2.1 with these users,
  • to guarantee a smooth connection setup of our Website,
  • to ensure a comfortable use of our Website,
  • to evaluate system safety and stability,
  • to continually further develop our Tests and our Website (see Sec. 2.2 and 8.3),
  • to evaluate your way of using our website via Google Analytics (see Sec. 7).

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our justified interest follows from the purposes listed above for the collection of data. In addition, we use analysis services when you visit our Website. You will find more information on this in Sec. 7 (Google Analytics).

3.2 ID37-search:

The sharing of your name (possibly with your profile picture) is preset as "Opt-In" (consent to ID37-search, i.e. you will be found by registered users of our Website who have created their ID37 Personality Profile), so that all registered users of our Website, such as your work colleagues, business partners, friends and life partners, can find you via the ID37-search, contact you and exchange Test Results, Personality Profiles and the other data provided by you according to Sec. 2.1. 

You can change these preferences from "Opt-In" to "Opt-Out" (no consent to ID37 search, i.e. you will not be found by users who have created their ID37 Personality Profile) in your user account on ID37 at any time, even directly after you have registered with ID37. This way, however, your work colleagues, business partners, friends and life partners will not be able to find or contact you for the ID37 internal network according to Sec. 5.2.

In case of sharing your name (possibly with your profile picture) under the default setting "Opt-In" you can send other registered users of our Website (and they can send you) contact requests, which may or may not be accepted by the other side. Without acceptance contact requests remain in place for seven days before they are automatically deleted.

4. How secure is your data? How is your data stored?

4.1 Data security:

When visiting our Website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our Website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the bowl or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also make use of suitable technical and organizational security measures, see Sec. 4.2, to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

4.2 Data storage:

Your data is stored and secured electronically and double encrypted using a combined encryption process based on asymmetric RSA and symmetric AES-256 encryption.

Access to our computer system only takes place after personal authentication of authorized persons. Our rooms are secured by an appropriate locking system within the usual limits. Our employees and such service providers, who have access to your data, are bound to secrecy in writing as required by the GDPR.

We operate a double encrypted data backup on several data carriers, one of which is not kept near the computer system. This also ensures data recovery after fire or water damage.

5. Who gets your data?

5.1 A transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below does not take place in principle, i.e. we only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  • there is a legal obligation to pass on data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR, or
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the execution of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

5.2 If you as a user accept the contact request of another registered user of our Website (such as your work colleagues, business partners, friends and life partners), your Test Results, Personality Profiles and the other data provided by you according to Sec. 2.1 will be made accessible to each other via the ID37 internal network until one of you removes the other user from his ID37 internal network.

5.3 If you have registered with us via a Master, e.g. if a Master has entered you in our system and invited you to register with us, this Master will have access to your data, including your Test results, so that the Master can evaluate your Test results together with you. After you have taken your Test, we will inform the Master by email that your Test results are now available.

5.4 The same applies if you have registered with us on your own, but then wish to evaluate your test results together with a Master and activate the relevant Master in your user account for this purpose.

5.5 Nevertheless, the data sovereignty remains with you, i.e. you can revoke the access of a Master to your data at any time via your user account. In this case, we will never send your data and Test results by email, not even to a Master, and they will only be available via our Website and your user account, even for a Master.

6. Transfer of data to a third country

We will not transfer your data abroad without your further consent.

7. Use of Google Analytics

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. Google will use this information on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our online offer, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and Internet use. Pseudonymous user profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

7.3 You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our Website (including yourIP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on:

8. How long will your data be stored?

8.1 We only store your data for as long as required by legal obligations or our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR exists.

8.2 As already mentioned in Sec. 5.4, you retain data sovereignty, i.e. you can delete not only your user account but also your data at any time via your user account. In such a case, and also if you request us to delete your data in any other form, we will delete all your personal data and continue to store only parts of it as so-called "aggregated data" - i.e. data that is anonymised, pseudonymized or summarised - for statistical reasons, i.e. in order to be able to create anonymous profiles, and to continuously develop our Test.

8.3 In addition to the Test results, we only store the information on year of birth, sex, nationality, country of residence and, if available, education in anonymised or pseudonymized form, and in such a way that they can no longer be used to identify a specific natural person, whether in combination with other data or in any other way, as well as the click-behaviour of our registered users after login in order to be able to continually further develop our Tests and our Website (see Sec. 2.2).
