Privacy Notice

This privacy policy will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website. Our mission is to inform individuals and help companies be compliant with privacy regulations. We strive towards total transparency of our goals and purposes, and as a commercial organisation we aim to give a good example in all our policies.

Changes in our policy will be communicated to all parties involved.

We collect only necessary personal data for the purpose of serving you.

On this website we collect your personal data if you make a purchase. When you buy our test exam, you will be asked to make up a username and password for your account. We also need a verifiable e-mail address, so that we can send you your token (which is needed to take the exam). When you make a purchase, your payment details are collected by PayPal; we don’t store that information. When we process your order, it may send your data to, and also use the resulting information from, credit reference agencies to prevent fraudulent purchases.

When you take the exam, we collect the answers and link them to the e-mail account you have used to register on our website. The reasons we need your results are threefold: first of all, if you decide you want to have a Personal Preparation Consult or you have booked a course with us that includes the trial exam, we base part of our personal advice on the answers you gave, so you will know which topics require your attention. Second, if you passed our exam, but for some reason didn’t pass your certification exam, you might want to get your money back (according to our guarantee) and that requires us to know if you passed our trial exam. The final reason we use your results for is the statistics and quality control of the exam (for example: if every participant should answer the same questions wrongly, we might want to review these questions).

We will retain the link of your scores with your e-mail address for one year, during which time you can take a course with us for which we might need the data. After this period your data will be anonymised, which means the scores will be detached from your personal information and henceforth only be used for statistical purposes and to improve or adjust our exam(s).

At any time during the course of the first year you can request with us your final scores per exam and category (information you will receive once you submit your trial exam), but the texts of the questions, answers and cases from the exam will not be released to protect our copyright. Also, in most official certification exams you will not see these texts afterwards either.

We collect the data that you provide us, nothing more.

Your personal information might cross some boarders, but mostly within the EU.

We store your data on our secure server in the Netherlands and retain it for a year.

Your rights as a data subject: you determine what happens with your data.

If you have given us (or anyone else for that matter) the consent to process your data, keep in mind you can withdraw consent at any time.

We don’t use that many cookies, but some are necessary for your experience on our website.
