Q4 Profiles takes privacy seriously. This privacy statement briefly describes how we handle and protect the personal data of visitors to our websites.
Purposes for processing website visitors' data
We use your personal data to personalise your personal profile(s). These profiles help you to understand yourself better. This helps you communicate with others and work more effectively. We process the personal data collected through our websites to support and facilitate your training. We also use personal data processed through our websites to inform you about our services.
If you visit our websites, log in, create a profile, complete a questionnaire, fill in a contact or registration form on the website, or send us an email/message, the data you send us will be retained for as long as is necessary, having regard to the nature of the information provided, the nature of the form, the questionnaire you completed, the purpose of the training you attended or the content of your email/message, to answer and deal with it fully, or for as long as required by a statutory obligation, such as the tax retention obligation.
In the secure login area of our website, you can complete questionnaires that you have received through us or a consultant. For this purpose, we use your first and last name, your company name where applicable, your gender, your email address and the login details supplied for that purpose. Your email address is used to invite you to complete the questionnaire and inform you of the results. We also process the information you enter in the questionnaire(s), depending on the type of training or coaching you receive from us or one of our certified consultants.
Third parties
Q4 Profiles only receives your data from, or shares your data with, certified consultants through whom we received your data. Data is therefore shared and provided only where necessary to carry out your request, training or assignment. We have made arrangements with the parties with whom we share your data to ensure that your personal data is protected.
Click behaviour and visitor data
General visitor data is recorded on the website. In particular, this may include your computer's IP address, login details, the time of the request and data sent by a visitor's browser. This data may be used for statistical analyses of visitor and click behaviour on the website. We also use it to optimise the operation of the website. We try to anonymise this data as far as possible. This data is not provided to third parties.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics for the website www.q4profiles.nl to keep track of how users use the Website and how effective any Adwords advertisements we place on Google search result pages are. The information obtained in this way, including your computer's address (IP address), is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Read Google's privacy policy for more information, as well as the specific Google Analytics privacy policy.
Google uses this information to keep track of how our website is used, to provide us with reports about the Website and to provide its advertisers with information about the effectiveness of their campaigns. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as those third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have no control over this. We have not permitted Google to use the Analytics information obtained for other Google services.
Social media
Our websites include buttons for promoting or sharing pages on the Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter social networks. These buttons are implemented using code supplied by Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter themselves. Among other things, this code places a cookie (see below).
Please read the privacy statements of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter (which may change regularly) to see what they do with the personal data they process using this code.
Use of cookies
We use cookies when providing electronic services. A cookie is a simple, small file sent with pages from this website and stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences. You can disable these cookies through your browser; for an explanation, see, for example, this information from the Consumentenbond. Our use of cookies complies with the applicable rules, including those in the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet).
Functional cookies
We use functional cookies to ensure that our website works properly. For example, this means that your preferred settings are remembered. We do not require your consent to use these cookies.
Analytics cookies
Cookies from the US company Google are placed through our website as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to track and receive reports on how visitors use the website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have no control over this. The use of these cookies is also permitted without consent. You must, however, be informed about their use. We do this through this privacy statement on our sites and the cookie notice shown on your first visit to our sites.
Concise Profile
A Q4 Profiles Concise Profile can be completed through various social media and other media channels. When it is completed, various characteristics are recorded so that the profile can be generated and made available in the secure personal environment of the person who created the profile. This data will be used only by Q4 Profiles itself and will not be provided to third parties unless the person has consented to this. This may be the case, for example, if the person wishes to receive a profile upgrade through a Q4 Profiles Certified Partner. When completing the questionnaire, the person also agrees that they may be added to the mailing list. The person can unsubscribe after the first message if desired.
If you would like to know which personal data we have recorded about you, or would like to have it changed and/or deleted, you can always contact us at info@q4profiles.com.
Changes to the privacy statement
We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement. Changes will be published on this website.
