They all are subject to confidentiality requirements and may use your personal data solely to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which your personal data was collected, except as otherwise required by law.
The personal data collected through our Website is stored in Switzerland. Moreover, we may transfer, store and process your personal data in data locations around the world, for example where our third-party providers or business partners are located (like our business partner Harrison Assessments). Therefore, we may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) if it is required for the data processing described in this Privacy Notice in accordance with applicable law.
If data is disclosed to countries that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection, TalentProfilingSolutions will ensure adequate protection of data disclosed by putting appropriate safeguards in place, such as contractual guarantees (e.g., on the basis of EU standard clauses), binding corporate rules, or transferring data pursuant to your explicit consent, conclusion or performance of a contract, or in connection with the determination, exercise or enforcement of legal claims.

On that basis, we normally process personal data subject to the following rules and obligations:
When you access or use the Website, we may place so-called cookies - small text files - or similar tools on your computer. We use these cookies to recognize you as a user of the Website, to customize content, to improve the performance of the Website and to enhance your experience.
a) Categories of Cookies we use
Depending on their function and intended purpose, cookies we may use can be divided into the following categories: functional cookies, performance cookies, and advertising cookies.
These cookies may be placed by us or a third party on our behalf. To learn more about cookies and how they are used, please visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
b) Google Maps
This Website uses the Google Maps API, a mapping service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the Website and makes it easy for you to use the map function.
The legal basis of the processing is derived from your consent based on your voluntary information for the creation of a map and our legitimate interests in the presentation of our location as well as an easy findability of the location we have indicated on the Website.
By using Google Maps, information about the use of our Website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information obtained by Google Maps to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify at least individual users based on the data received. It would be possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the Website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have and can have no influence.
It is possible to deactivate Google Maps and prevent data transfers to Google if you deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.

We use the service reCAPTCHA of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The inquiry in the contact form serves the purpose of checking whether the entry is made by a human being or by automated, machine processing. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behavior of the user based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the user enters the Website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the Website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of reCAPTCHA is not combined with other data from Google.
The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

We do not make any decision about you which is based solely on automated processing and which has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar way.
