How we secure personal data

H&G Personnel and Organisation takes the protection of your data seriously and has taken the following measures to prevent abuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised changes:

  • All PCs in the office and personal laptops are password protected to start them up. These passwords are renewed on a regular basis.
  • To access privacy-sensitive information on the H&G website, all users (employees, clients, participants) must log in with a unique user name and password.
  • The security of the H&G website is monitored and kept up-to-date by the web administrator.
  • H&G works with a portal on the website for clients and a portal for participants. Each user is given a unique user name and password. The password can be changed by the user. By logging in to the personal account, the user has access only to the data for which the user in question is authorized.
  • Users are regularly updated and accounts that are no longer current are removed.
  • Participants will be informed in detail before and during their participation in a H&G service about H&G's procedure for handling personal data, reports, rights (e.g. right of inspection and deletion), release, retention period and other relevant matters.
  • To make the CV available, participants will be asked for their explicit permission in the invitation e-mail. By sending the CV, the participant agrees to its use by H&G for the specific purpose of the current assessment/service.
  • Participant decides if and when his/her assessment report will be released to the client by clicking on the appropriate button in his/her portal on the website. The report will then only be available to authorised persons within the client's organisation.
  • H&G employees are contractually bound to secrecy regarding all confidential information. Only authorized employees have access to information and they are instructed on how to handle this confidential information.
  • H&G never sells (personal) data to third parties
  • Processing agreements have been drawn up with all parties that process personal data on behalf of H&G.
  • Personnel files of H&G employees are kept in a locked desk drawer.
