How do we obtain your personal data?

The Selection Lab has obtained your data because you or the organisation you work for has provided us with that data.

How do we ensure that employees are free to give their consent?

The Selection Lab ensures in three ways that employees of organisations cannot suffer in any way as a result of whether or not their personal data are provided to The Selection Lab.

  1. The data provided by employees will under no circumstances be shared with the organisation in question on an individual basis. This has been explicitly contractually agreed upon with all organisations that The Selection Lab works for. The Selection Lab only shares amplified personal data on an aggregate level. This is clearly communicated to employees.
  2. Under no circumstances will the employees' organisation have any insight into who has or has not completed the questionnaire. Because the organisation has no insight into who has or has not completed the questionnaire, employees cannot experience any consequences of this. However, an overall percentage is shared with the organisation. This is clearly communicated to employees.
  3. After processing the collected personal data, a pseudonymisation process takes place to ensure the identity of the employees and their personal data.
