When you visit our website, and if you accept our website's use of cookies, we collect personal data about you via the specific type of cookies you have accepted. In this regard we may collect information about your online behaviour, such as your IP-address, information about the chosen operating system on your computer, your mobile device, chosen internet browser and your online activities on the website (depending on the type of cookies accepted).

We do not process special categories of personal data (sensitive personal data) about you.

We limit our processing of personal data to situations where the processing is relevant and necessary for a specific purpose.

The processing of your personal data may be necessary in order for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, e.g. in relation to the provision of our services, cf. Article 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), or because processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us where such interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, cf. Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. Such legitimate interests are, for instance:

Fulfilment of contractual obligations with the company you are representing or working at;
Providing consultancy services, including coaching, to you as part of an agreement with your current or former employer;
Carrying out workshops, courses and certifications and provision of feedback and coaching in this regard;
Providing customer service or communicating with you if you have questions to specific services;
Maintaining and enhancing customer relationships;
Marketing and events;
Webinars and courses, e.g. online;
Invoicing for the services we provide to your company or vice versa;
Documentation of events, correspondence, etc. in case of a specific dispute between us and the company you are employed at.

Certain processing of personal data is necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation, cf. Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR, namely retaining bookkeeping material pursuant to applicable bookkeeping rules.

When you sign up for newsletters via our website, the direct marketing communications are provided to you based on your prior consent, cf. Section 10 (1) of the Danish Marketing Practices Act. The personal data processed for this purpose is based on our legitimate interests to provide you with the content of the newsletter as requested by you, cf. Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

We may engage third parties (data processors) to process personal data on behalf of us and in accordance with our instructions, such as our IT service providers and/or other external suppliers (where relevant). When you participate in a workshop, we use Hogan Assessment Systems Inc. (HALO) as our processor for your personality assessment.

To the extent we disclose or transfer your personal data to third parties who may use your personal data for their own purposes, such disclosure or transfer will only take place if it is in accordance with applicable law and with prior consent obtained from you, where such consent is required.

Where relevant, we may disclose or transfer your personal data to other controllers, e.g. affiliates, vendors, or other business partners for business purposes. Where our associate consultants (independent contractors) are engaged in a coaching assignment or project, these are considered as independent data controllers.

By visiting our business sites on LinkedIn, you may disclose personal data about your online behaviour and preferences to LinkedIn as well. Therefore, we recommend that you read the privacy policy of LinkedIn and thereby obtain information on its processing of your personal data. Please also read section 5in relation to social media and joint controllership.

When you visit our social media sites on e.g. Linkedin or our website, where social media plugins have been installed, our social media service providers collect and process your personal data using cookies, subject to your consent to the service provider, as applicable. Such collection and processing may take place even if you have no account on the social media. When you visit our LinkedIn site, we will receive anonymous demographic and geographic statistics from LinkedIn on the visitors on our website and/our LinkedIn site. This happens via LinkedIn’s plugins ("LinkedIn Insight Tag").

In such case, we will be joint data controller with the social media providers for personal data collected and processed in connection with your visit to our social media sites and our website. It means, among other things, that you may contact both A&D and the social media providers to exercise your data protection rights. LinkedIn has primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with the applicable data protection laws and responding to requests from visitors on LinkedIn. If you are registered as user of LinkedIn, you may exercise your rights via your account settings on LinkedIn.

In certain cases, your personal data may be transferred to countries outside of the EU/EEA. Such transfer will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws. This entails that we will identify and verify the transfer tool to rely on and adopt any supplementary measures that are necessary to bring the level of protection of the transferred personal data up to the EU standard of essential equivalence. We may, for example, ensure this by entering into the relevant EU standard contractual clauses (“SCC”) with the data importer and - where relevant and necessary - by implementing supplementary measures. We have entered into the relevant SCC with Hogan Assessment Systems Inc., Oklahoma, United States. If you wish to obtain a copy of the relevant information on third country transfers, please send an email to the email address provided under contacts below.

We will only store your personal data as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for the processing of your personal data.

In relation to workshops, we will store personal data related to personality assessments for 6 months after the personality assessment has been taken. Please note that if your employer wishes to have your personality assessment report transferred to your employer’s own HALO account, we must receive such request immediately after you have completed your certification. Your employer will need to obtain your written explicit consent to the transfer and send the request and consent to us. Please note that transferring data from one HALO account to another is subject to a standard fee.

Certain consultants employed with us may be authorised psychologists, who are subject to, inter alia, the Danish Act on Medical Record-Keeping and the Danish Act on Psychologists. In this case, we will (if applicable) store personal data in accordance with the mandatory record-keeping rules, e.g. as a minimum 5 years after the last noted remark. We will therefore as a general rule store all personal data obtained as part of our consultancy services and projects, e.g. coaching, for 5 years. This does not apply to personal data stored in the online assessment platform(s), e.g. HALO (see below).

Please note that when you take a personality assessment as part of your employment, we are the data processor and your employer is the data controller. The personality assessment is taken via the online platform, HALO, provided by Hogan Assessment Systems, Inc., United States (and for the 360Hogan test, Peter Berry Consultancy Ltd., Australia). As a starting point all personality assessments are stored in HALO for 2 years unless otherwise instructed by your employer. Please contact your employer (current/former) for any further information.

We advise you to keep a copy of your own personality assessment report (you will usually receive this per e-mail from your employer) if you wish to keep it for longer.

We will store personal data about you as a contact person of our customers, vendors, resellers, etc. until termination of the contractual relationship between us and the company that you are employed at, or as long as we communicate, or until a legal claim can no longer be established. If there is an actual or potential legal dispute with the company you are employed at, your personal data will be retained for as long as necessary for these purposes after which such personal data will be deleted.

We will store your personal data that is necessary for bookkeeping purposes (such as invoices) for 5 years from the year of which the accounting material relate in accordance with the special rules on retention of bookkeeping material in the Danish Bookkeeping Act.

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will keep your personal data for as long as you wish to receive material from us and for 2 succeeding years after you have unsubscribed.
