Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines how EHSINDEX collects, uses, and protects your personal information.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our minimal data collection practices.

Last Updated: April 4th, 2025

Your Privacy is Our Priority

Zero Personal Information Collection

EHSINDEX collects NO personal information whatsoever.

When you take an assessment with EHSINDEX, we use only a company-provided Candidate ID number to identify your results. We do not collect, store, or request:

  • No names
  • No email addresses
  • No phone numbers
  • No addresses
  • No social security numbers
  • No identifying information

This policy applies to both company-sponsored assessments and private individual candidates. Everyone receives the same privacy protection.

Your assessment results are linked only to an anonymous Candidate ID

1 Information We Collect

Assessment Data Only

The ONLY information we collect related to your assessment is:

  • Candidate ID Number: A unique identifier provided by your company or assigned for private candidates
  • Assessment Responses: Your answers to the EHS knowledge questions
  • Assessment Results: Your scores and performance analysis
  • Assessment Date/Time: When the assessment was completed

Important: Your Candidate ID cannot be traced back to you personally unless your employer or organization maintains that connection in their own records.

Website Analytics (Anonymous)

Like most websites, we collect standard, anonymous technical information to improve our website:

  • IP addresses (anonymized)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • General geographic location (country/state level only)

This data is NOT connected to your assessment or Candidate ID.

Cookies (Functional Only)

We use minimal cookies necessary for website functionality (like remembering your assessment progress). These cookies do NOT collect personal information and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

2 How We Use Your Information

We use your Candidate ID and assessment data for the following purposes only:

Generating your assessment results and reports
Processing and analyzing EHS knowledge benchmarks
Providing results to your employer (if company-sponsored)
Improving our assessment questions and platform
Creating anonymized industry benchmarking data
Ensuring assessment integrity and preventing fraud

We do NOT use your data for marketing, advertising, or selling to third parties.

3 How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your assessment data. Period.

Since we collect NO personal information, there is no personal data to share. We may share your Candidate ID and assessment results only in these limited circumstances:

With Your Employer or Organization

If you take an assessment as part of an employment application or company evaluation, your assessment results (linked to your Candidate ID only) are shared with the requesting organization. They maintain the connection between the Candidate ID and your identity in their own records.

Anonymized Benchmarking Data

We may share fully anonymized, aggregated data for industry benchmarking and research. This data cannot identify individual candidates and does not include Candidate IDs.

Service Providers (Limited)

We use secure third-party services for website hosting and assessment delivery. These providers have access only to the technical data necessary to operate our platform and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety. However, since we collect no personal information, any such disclosure would be limited to Candidate IDs and assessment data only.

Your privacy advantage: Because we collect no names, emails, or personal data, there's nothing personal to leak, hack, or misuse. Your identity remains protected even if your employer shares your Candidate ID externally.

4 Data Security

Your Data is Protected

Industry-standard security measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Secure servers and encryption
Access controls and authentication
Regular security audits
Secure data storage

Important: While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

5 Data Retention

We retain your Candidate ID and assessment results for the following periods:

  • Assessment Results: Retained indefinitely for benchmarking purposes, but always stored with only your Candidate ID (no personal information)
  • Company-Sponsored Assessments: Results retained as long as the sponsoring organization maintains their account with us
  • Anonymous Analytics: Website usage data retained for 24 months to improve our services

Note: Since we don't collect personal information, traditional data deletion requests don't apply. Your Candidate ID and results cannot be used to identify you personally unless your employer maintains that connection.

6 Your Privacy Rights

Maximum Privacy by Design

Because EHSINDEX collects zero personal information, many traditional privacy concerns simply don't apply. Your Candidate ID cannot be traced back to you without your employer's separate records.

While traditional privacy rights focus on personal data, here's what applies to EHSINDEX:

No Personal Data

We don't collect it, so there's nothing personal to access, correct, or delete

Assessment Results

Contact your employer to access results linked to your Candidate ID

Anonymous by Default

Your identity is protected even if data is shared for benchmarking

No Marketing

We have no contact info, so no unwanted emails or calls

Questions About Your Assessment?

If you have questions about your assessment results or Candidate ID, please contact us at:

For company-sponsored assessments, your employer maintains the link between your Candidate ID and your identity. Contact them directly for result access or corrections.

7 Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

8 Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

9 International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
