Categories of Third Parties to Whom We Have Disclosed Personal Information

In the past twelve months, we have disclosed certain categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

• our business clients;
• advertising networks;
• internet service providers;
• data analytics providers; and
• service providers (i.e., companies who are assisting us in fulfilling our contracts and carrying out our business).

Information Concerning the Sharing or Selling of Personal Information. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation from such third parties, we do disclose or make available personal information we may have collected, through the use of targeting cookies, to third parties in order to receive certain services or benefits from them, such as when we allow third party tags to collect information such as browsing history on our Website, in order to improve and measure our ad campaigns, to facilitate navigation, to personalise and improve your experience while using the Website to better reach users with relevant advertising both on our Website and on third party websites, and to report aggregate information to our advisors.

The CCPA defines a “sale” as disclosing or making available to a third party Personal Information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration and it defines “share” in pertinent part as disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Pursuant to the CCPA, the categories of personal information that we may “sell” as defined under the CCPA includes:

• Identifiers including, but not limited to, a real name, alias, address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol (IP) address, email address, or other similar identifiers.
• Electronic usage data, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with our Website.

We have “sold” the categories of personal information listed above to data analytics providers in the preceding twelve months for the purposes outlined above.

We do not “share” personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. We only use and disclose sensitive personal information collected about consumers for the purposes of providing secure access for participants to complete assessments, for research purposes to monitor our assessments for fairness in use, and where participants inform us about a health issue or disability which may impact the way in which they undertake an assessment and not for any other purpose. For more information about the collection and use of personal information generally, please see section 5 and section 6 above.

• Right to non-discrimination: The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA. Discrimination may exist where a business denies or provides a different level or quality of goods or services, or charges (or suggests that it will charge) different prices, rates, or penalties on residents who exercise their CCPA rights, unless doing so is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the residents’ data.
• Financial incentives: A business may offer financial incentives for the collection, sale or deletion of California residents’ personal information, where the incentive is not unjust, unreasonable, coercive or usurious, and is made available in compliance with applicable transparency, informed consent, and opt-out requirements.

An authorised agent can make a request on a California resident’s behalf by providing a power of attorney valid under California law, or providing: (1) proof that the consumer authorised the agent to do so; (2) verification of their own identity with respect to a right to know categories, right to know specific pieces of personal information, or requests to delete which are outlined above; and (3) direct confirmation that the consumer provided the authorised agent permission to submit the request.
