2. Data Controller and Our Role

Data Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of the GDPR is the organization from which you received the access link to this assessment (hereinafter: the "client"). This organization determines the purposes and means of the data processing and is your point of contact for all data protection matters relating to your participation.

Our Role: Processor

We, Dr. Nick Stratemeyer (Psychometric Services), provide the technical platform for conducting the psychometric assessments and process your data solely on behalf of and on the documented instructions of the client. Our activities are carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR).

For technical questions about the platform, you can reach us at:
mail@psychometric-services.de

For requests concerning your data (access, deletion, withdrawal), please contact your client directly — not us.

3. Technical Infrastructure and Hosting

Server Location

The platform is operated on servers provided by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. All servers are located in Germany. When you visit the website, server log files are automatically recorded (browser type, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, timestamp). This processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically secure provision of the platform). A data processing agreement is in place with IONOS.

Email

For email operations, we use webgo GmbH, Heidenkampsweg 81, 20097 Hamburg, Germany. A data processing agreement is in place with webgo.

4. General Information

TLS Encryption

All data transmission is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS). This means that your entries cannot be read by third parties.

No Tracking Cookies

This platform does not use any tracking or marketing cookies. No analysis of your user behavior for advertising purposes takes place.

Technically Necessary Session Storage

To technically conduct the assessments, an entry is created in your browser's session storage. This is automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.

5. Conducting the Online Assessments

Purpose of Processing

Your data is processed in order to conduct the psychometric assessment and to provide the client with a results report. The specific purpose arises from the context in which the access link was provided to you.

Note: The assessments are designed for work-related questions and are not suitable for clinical diagnosis or the determination of health data.

Data Processed

The following data is processed as part of the assessment:

Provided by you:

  • Your name
  • Demographic information (e.g., gender, age)
  • Your answers to the assessment questions

Recorded automatically:

  • Timestamp of participation
  • Internal participation ID (technical identifier)

Results Report and Storage

Based on your responses, an individual results report is created and made available to the client. Your name and the results report are stored in encrypted form on our server for 90 days after completion of the assessment. After this period, your name is removed from our database; the results can then no longer be linked to you personally.

Please note: The client receives the results report and is responsible for its further processing and retention. If you wish to access your report, please contact the organization that provided you with the access link.

Further Development of the Assessments

Test results may be used in anonymized form — that is, without any personal reference — for quality assurance and the further development of the assessments.

6. Consent and Its Documentation

Your Consent

At the beginning of the assessment, you will be asked to agree to a checkbox. With this confirmation, you consent vis-à-vis the client to your data being processed to the extent described and to the results report being made available to the client. The legal basis for the processing is determined by the client as the controller.

Documentation of Consent

To fulfill the client's accountability obligations (Article 7(1) GDPR), we document on behalf of the client:

  • Time of confirmation
  • Text of the consent declaration displayed
  • Version of the privacy policy at the time of consent
  • Internal participation ID
  • The client's project reference
  • Anonymized IP address (last octet truncated)
  • Browser type (user agent)

The IP address is processed only briefly to generate the anonymized entry and is not stored thereafter. The consent records are retained for three years in order to fulfill accountability obligations.

Withdrawal

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please contact the organization from which you received the access link. Alternatively, you can contact us at mail@psychometric-services.de; we will forward your request to the client.

7. Retention Period

Your personal data (name, results report) is stored for 90 days after completion of the assessment and is then automatically deleted or anonymized. Consent records are retained for three years.

Any retention periods beyond this are governed by the instructions of the client as well as any statutory obligations.

In the event of a deletion request, your name is removed from the database. Any remaining test data can then no longer be attributed to any individual.

8. Your Rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller — that is, vis-à-vis the organization from which you received the access link:

  • Right of access to the data processed (Article 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification of inaccurate data (Article 16 GDPR)
  • Right to erasure of your data (Article 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
  • Right to object to processing (Article 21 GDPR)
  • Right to withdraw consent given (Article 7(3) GDPR)

To exercise these rights, please contact the organization from which you received the access link directly. As a processor, we are obliged to support the client in handling such requests.

If you contact us directly, we will forward your request to the responsible client: mail@psychometric-services.de

9. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

For services offered in Germany, the supervisory authority of the relevant federal state is often responsible.
