Simplified Privacy Policy for Clients and Persons Taking the Judgement Index
This privacy notice details how we use and process your data, when passing through the Judgement Index website or assessment page.
River City Judgement Index UK LTD t/a Judgement Index is the data controller and we are responsible for your personal data (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice).
The Judgement Index assessment is considered a Values Based (Axiological) assessment. The results provide important, differentiating information about a potential candidate, existing employee or person in general. The results demonstrate an understanding of a persons’ values, what they feel is worthwhile, and what ultimately informs and then drives the decisions, choices, and judgements they make. This information may be used as part of a hiring process, staff development or by an individual for their own personal development.
All questions and requests should be directed to karen@judgementindex.co.uk
1. Data we collect –
The data we collect is at a minimum level as possible for participants taking the Judgement Index assessment. If taking the assessment through a Client (Organisation authorised and under contract to use the Judgement Index) then it is only necessary to take a first and last name, so that the Client can associate the report data with the correct participant. It is fully possible to use a coded name or reference code to take the assessment, if the Client or participant wishes.
If taking the assessment through independent means and not via a Client we may request a contact email address and telephone number and this is simply to be able to contact the participant once they have submitted their assessment. We do not transfer any associated email addresses or telephone numbers and they are not stored or used for any other purpose.
The data the assessment produces is based on the order that the participant has placed 36 abstract statements and also on the report requested by the Client or Judgement Index Consultant. The data is a reflection of a person’s capacity to make good judgement in different areas as described in the description above.
2. Reasons for Collection –
The data we collect is always collected with a clear intention for its use. There are many reasons we may need to collect this data that can include but are not restricted to:
- For hiring purposes
- For new hire induction purposes
- For development purposes
- For individual personal development
- For research projects
This is so we can fulfil delivery of requested services for our clients and/or individuals.
3. Sharing –
No personal data that we collect will be shared with anyone outside of The Judgement Index or the Client (if applicable) or used for any other reason other than the situations explained in #2.
4. Protection –
We do not allow the assessment process to occur except in a secure connection where all data is encrypted between the participant and the server.
Our computers are protected by robust anti-virus software that is kept up to date (Symantec and McAfee). All data we collect from assessments taken are held exclusively within the Judgement Index administrator portal and servers and not stored on individual computers.
The data we collect from assessments is stored by our US company Judgment Index USA, and is stored in the USA on servers outside of the EEA (European Economic Area) whose systems comply with GDPR regulations.
We leverage many technologies to detect any malfunctions and compromises in our systems. Invisible reporting takes place on the slightest abnormalities. Our public servers are actively monitored and managed.
Should a breach to our servers ever occur, the payload does not render anything of real value. The detail that is stored on our servers is purely in number and digit format – not in a report format, so it would make little sense and have no value.
Other Client data we may store including client contact details, login details and bank details may be held within various online platforms comprising: Mailchimp (email marketing), Dropbox (storage), Eazipay (direct debit processor), Asana (project management). Client bank details are never held on Judgment Index US servers.
5. Safety & Remote Control –
All of the platforms we use are protected by unique usernames and passwords saved within the Chrome internet browser.
If our computers or smartphone are ever stolen or lost, we can remotely access all the data we collect and log out/change passwords on all devices, thus barring anyone from discovering the data on the laptop. We can also wipe Chrome remotely if necessary.
Every Client who has access to their own admin portal or report archive is issued with their own unique passwords, which must be changed on registration and be of a suitable level of complexity. These login credentials can be instantly blocked remotely by a Judgement Index administrator should it be necessary.
Judgement Index Reports are stored outside of the public infrastructure and delivered in real time. We can instantly turn these mechanisms on and off. In short, we do take security seriously and do everything we can to protect our data and the systems that manage it.
6. Buying, Sharing and Sourcing –
We never buy data or share it. We only receive data from the sources explicitly outlined in this document.
7. Consent –
All data we obtain is given voluntarily by the participant concerned when they agree to begin the assessment. The explicit explanation of what it is being collected for at the time is the responsibility of the Client or the participant (if applicable).
The Judgement Index will not contact or market to the participant following their assessment submission except in a circumstance as explained in #1
8. Deleting Data –
The Judgement Index will store data for 24 months as standard at which point the reports will be anonymised and archived.
A Client may request for report data to be kept for a shorter or longer period if they have a legitimate reason to do so. Participants are advised to check with the client if they are unsure.
Once reports are anonymised they are no longer classed as personal data.
Any report data that is being used for research purposes is done so in a format that is aggregated and always anonymised.
It is possible for The Judgement Index to delete data on request. Please contact karen@judgementindex.co.uk
9. Access & Transparency –
All data we have collected from participants can be accessed at any time by the participant concerned, on written email request. However, if the participant took the Judgement Index via a Client then the request will need to be via the Client. Please send any data access requests to karen@judgementindex.co.uk. We reserve the right to respond within 30 days for data requests.

- DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above:
- Other companies in our group such as Judgment Index USA who provide IT and system administration services and undertake leadership reporting.
- Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
- Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
- HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the United Kingdom and other relevant jurisdictions who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
- Clients who have asked you to take the Judgement Index assessment on their behalf and have provided you with their specific login codes and passwords.
- Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
- INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We share your personal data within our group of companies which involves transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.
Many of our third parties service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
- Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
Please email us at karen@judgementindex if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
- DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
- DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This may be determined by us or by the client using your personal data.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
