Why we hold this personal information
Bloojam often acts as a data processor, collecting and processing data on behalf of our clients (who act as the data controller) e.g. when a client asks us to administer psychometric tests as part of a recruitment process. In some contexts, Bloojam acts as a data controller where we collect data from you e.g. when collating research data in order to analyse and validate our tools and services (in this example we would anonymise your personal data).How do we use your data in providing services to our clients?
Your information will be used to deliver contracted services and products and only for the stated purpose. In carrying out these services we may do one or more of the following:- communicate with you by email or phone
- generate psychometric test, survey and assessment reports and provide them to an employing organisation who has requested this service from Bloojam
- use information collected on individuals to report at a team, department or organisational level, using aggregated data
- we may use personal information (in an anonymised format) for our own internal research purposes, in order to analyse the efficacy of our tools and services, provide validation data or to produce relevant internal and external benchmark groups
- Your personal information is held and processed in the UK. Your personal information may also be held and processed in the EU and/or the US (the latter applies to one of the psychometric tests Bloojam currently uses). If you use our services while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this statement.

- We will not sell or rent your information to third parties

- For as long as we have reasonable business needs, such as managing our relationship and providing our services to you and your employing organisation
- Retention periods in line with legal and regulatory requirements or guidance
- We will hold the information we use to communicate with you until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive information from us or you want us to delete your personal data
- Where a client (data controller) has requested we collect psychometric test / assessment tool / survey data for their employee or candidate, any personal data that we hold will be kept in line with their own policy and requirements, or where the data controller has not communicated this with us we will hold the data for no longer than 3 months.
