Data protection – people appearing in our research.

Anyone whose professional data appears in our research work, whatever their country of residence.

The legal framework that protects you does depend on where you live:

• European Union and European Economic Area: GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
• Switzerland: revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), in force since 1 September 2023.
• United Kingdom: UK GDPR, whose rights are equivalent to those of the GDPR.

We apply the same standard to everyone. If you live elsewhere and neither the GDPR nor the FADP applies to you, your request is handled in the same way, within the same time frame, free of charge, and without you having to give a reason. We do not reserve these rights to European and Swiss residents.

• First name and last name
• Current job title and previous positions
• Employers and dates
• Education and institutions
• Locality
• Link to the public professional profile

What we do not collect

No health data, no political, religious or trade-union opinions, no banking data, no element of private life, no biometric or genetic data, no information relating to legal proceedings.

We keep neither the free-text description of the profiles consulted, nor any assessment comment.

From public professional sources:

• Public profiles on professional networks, including LinkedIn
• Employer websites
• Trade press and professional publications

It was not obtained from your employer.

To map the skills present in a market and identify people who may be approached about a role, on behalf of client companies.

No automated decision-making and no profiling producing legal effects is carried out: the judgement calls are made by a person.

Residents of the European Union

Legitimate interest in carrying out a profile research activity, balanced against your rights and freedoms (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). This balancing test is documented and can be provided on request.

Switzerland

Processing of non-sensitive data drawn from sources made public by the individuals themselves, in compliance with the principles of good faith, proportionality, purpose limitation and transparency (art. 6 and 19 FADP).

Notifying every single person appearing in a market map, one by one, would involve a disproportionate effort in relation to the processing at hand (art. 14(5)(b) GDPR; art. 20 FADP).

This page constitutes our notice: that is why it is public, indexed, and reachable from every page.

Where an assignment warrants it, your data may be passed to the client company concerned, under a confidentiality obligation.

No sale, no rental, no advertising network.

This form asks for the bare minimum needed to find you in our records and get back to you. It creates no prospect record and feeds no commercial tool: your request goes to [email protected] and nowhere else.

No identity document is required: demanding an ID card in order to process an erasure would be disproportionate, and would amount to collecting data more sensitive than what we hold. Should there be serious doubt about your identity, we may ask you for an additional verification element.
