The bases on which we process information about you
The law requires us to determine under which bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
- Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you. When you create an account on our website, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.
We may use it in order to:
- verify your identity for security purposes
- sell products to you
- provide you with our services

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.
- Information we process because we have a legitimate interest to do so. When you are asked to complete a ThriveMap questionnaire either by us or by a client company (the requestor), it is because the requestor has established that capturing ThriveMap questionnaire data is important to the recruitment or employment activities in which you are involved.
In order for the requestor to carry out those activities we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.
The requestor may use it in order to:
- measure your skills or preferences directly related to the role you are applying for or already engaged
- generate a benchmark against which the company can compare current or future employees

Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our questionnaire with respect to quality of questions asked. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us and the client company is terminated by either party. You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at [email protected] however, if you do so, it may have an effect upon the process you are engaged in with the requestor.
- Information we process with your consent. Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you sign up to a trial account with us, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information. Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website.
If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at [email protected] However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.
