Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 25, 2024
Paradigm Personality Labs, LLC (“Paradigm”, “we”, “us” or “our”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to your access to and use of any of our websites that links to this Privacy Policy, including www.paradigmpersonality.com (each, a “Site” and, collectively, the “Sites”), as well as any platforms, applications, or tools made available by us via the Sites or that otherwise link to this Privacy Policy, including the MyParadigm Dashboard (the “Services”). In this Privacy Policy, the words “you” and “your” refer to the individual accessing or using the Sites and/or Services.
The section below entitled “Additional Provisions Applicable to Information of Certain U.S. Residents” serves as our Notice of Collection for purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”).
By using the Sites or Services, you expressly consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Please note that if you access any of our Sites or use our Services: (a) in the scope of your employment or otherwise in connection with responsibilities to your employer, or (b) in connection with your relationship with a third party distributor authorized by Paradigm (a “Distributor”), then in each case our collection and use of your information may be governed by, and subject to, a separate agreement between us and your employer or such Distributor, instead of this Privacy Policy. You should confirm with your employer or the relevant Distributor whether any such separate agreement exists that governs our collection and use of your information. To the extent there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and another agreement between us and your employer or the relevant Distributor, as applicable, that agreement shall prevail.

We reserve the right to add to, update or change our Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion by posting a new version of this Privacy
Policy to the Sites and/or Services. You should check this Privacy Policy for changes each time that you access the Sites and/or use the Services, as your continued use of the Sites and Services after we post any additions, updates or changes to the Privacy Policy will constitute your consent to be bound by the new Privacy Policy.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
As described above in the section entitled “How We Use Information We Collect”, we use the information we collect from you for various purposes. We rely on the following legal bases in connection with our processing of EU Personal Data:
• Processing is necessary to provide a service or feature you request. This includes (a)processing, evaluating, and respond to your requests, inquiries, and applications; (b) monitoring compliance with and enforcing any applicable terms of service or use; and (c) providing features and functionality of the Sites and Services that you use.
• Processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests and we have taken steps to ensure that our interests do not unduly intrude on your privacy. We rely on this justification when we (a) monitor aggregate Site or Service usage metrics; (b) analyze the information we collect to improve performance and better understand the preferences of our customers; (c) develop and improve our marketing materials, and, where permitted, contact you (including with marketing communications); and (d) to protect our legal rights, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems or assist with investigations.
Processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as to meet our record-keeping obligations.
• Any purpose for which you consent, such as to place cookies on your device or if you agree that we may contact you.
Please note that where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your EU Personal Data at any time by providing notice to us using the contact information below in the section entitled “Contact Us”.
DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

To make any of the foregoing requests, please contact us using the contact information below in the section entitled “Contact Us”. Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases. For example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete EU Personal Data which we are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you
work, or where you feel your rights were infringed.
COMPLAINTS
If you have a complaint about our use of your EU Personal Data, please contact us directly so that we can address your complaint. If you are located in the EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
DATA TRANSFERS
In connection with the provision of Services and related support, we may transfer EU Personal Data we collect about you to the United States and other countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided
such data. In the event we transfer EU Personal Data outside of the European Union, we will ensure that the country to which we transfer such data has received an adequacy decision by the European Commission or that such transfer is subject to an adequate transfer mechanism pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR
RETENTION PERIODS
We will retain EU Personal Data for so long as it is reasonably required, and until deletion of such EU Personal Data is requested. After such time period, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives or we are required to retain such information pursuant to applicable law), then we will securely store your information until deletion is possible.

In order to be eligible to order an Assessment through the Services, you must first complete any training and/or certification process required by Paradigm and become a “Certified Practitioner”. Once you become a Certified Practitioner, Paradigm will provide you with access to the Services through a username and password (collectively, “User Credentials”). You may not share your User Credentials with any third party, and you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User Credentials. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur through the use of your User Credentials.

After an End User completes an Assessment, we will provide to you through the MyParadigm Dashboard a report generated based on the responses provided by the End User in the Assessment (the “Report”). You must comply with the requirements and guidelines (including the ethical guidelines) communicated to you during the training and/or certification process through which you became a Certified Practitioner, and stay current with such certification.

Certified Practitioners may, as part of an Assessment, also order Paradigm’s WorkPlace Experience (WE) features and functionality to be interacted with and completed by the End User. The WE functionality is directed toward the End User and includes exercises that allow the End User to reflect on the Assessment and the End User’s feelings regarding the Assessment and its results.
The responses that the End User provides to us related to WE will not be shared with the Certified Practitioner who ordered the Assessment (though the Certified Practitioner will still receive the Report) and will only be shared with the End User for the End User’s personal use. If you, as an End User, choose to share any of the WE information, you may share only the summary sections. We may also use the responses provided by you as the End User related to WE internally, including to improve our products and services and for other business purposes.
