We use the following automated systems for carrying out certain kinds of profiling.

Please contact us to find out more using the details in Part 11.
· The following automated profiling may take place:
o Use of psychometric and neuro-science based profiling tools, such as TMSDI, PRISM or Risk Compass, in which clients complete an online questionnaire which then produces an automated profile.

Profiling is offered as part of our coaching services, and may be for individuals or teams. No profile maps or other content will be shared with other members of a team, without the explicit written consent of the individual. Transmission of the profile to the individual will only take place when they have verified their email address and provided their consent.
o SenseMaker is an application used to capture micro-narratives for clients that enables powerful insights into business performance, such as organisational culture or whistle-blowing, for example. Each application is customised for the client, and is likely to contain ethnographic information, such as gender, race or age, but does not contain individual names or contact details. The purpose is to provide services to clients. Individuals retain control of what content they input into the application, and this may include voice recordings, images as well as text.

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

Please send an email with “GDPR- Subject Access Request Form” in the header to be sent the form.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding. You will be informed of the administrative cost before processing the request, in case you wish to cancel the request.
We will respond to your subject access request within 21 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, our aim is to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
