Privacy Policy

The Psychometrics Forum is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide us with, will be processed by us. The information will be used only in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

For the purposes of the Act the data controller is the Forum Chair (or one of the Chairs in the event of the position being shared).

How do we collect information from you?

You supply information by completing a membership form, or by requesting that you are put on to our mailing list.

How is your personal information used?

We only keep relevant information about members for the purposes of membership administration. We also keep information on members and the wider mailing list to enable us to provide updates on events and offers, such as training discounts.

When we run events, on occasion delegates are offered a free trial of a psychometric assessment from a test publisher or training provider. Delegates are asked if they would like to participate in the free trial before their email address is passed to the test provider.

We do not pass any personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purpose.
