Privacy notice

quizego provides skills assessments for employers and a talent pool for job seekers. For the personal data described here, quizego is the data controller. You can reach us about anything in this notice at contact@quizego.com.

Anyone can take the sample test without an account. While you take it we store only a random identifier, when you started and finished, and where you arrived from (the campaign tags in the link and the referring site, if your browser shares it).

To see your full report we ask for your name and email, and optionally your phone number and company. We store these with your answers, your score and how long you took. We use them to show you your report and to understand how the sample test is used.

We only contact you if you tick a box saying so: one to be contacted about quizego, and one to be asked for feedback. The report unlocks whether or not you tick either. We record exactly what you agreed to.

If you don't create an account, we delete these details 12 months after you took the test. If you do create an account, we link the two so we know the sample test helped, and your details are then held as part of your account.

When you create an account we store your name, work email, a securely hashed password, your organisation's name, and your settings. We use them to run your account and to send you service emails, such as invitations you send and results that are ready.

When an employer invites you to an assessment, they are the controller of your results, and we process them on their behalf. We store your name and email as the employer entered them, your answers, and how long each answer took. Candidates never create an account. Ask the employer who invited you about how they use your results.

If you join the talent pool we store your account details, the tracks you chose, your test answers and results, and anything you add to your profile (a headline, availability, how you like to work, experience, the roles you want, a short introduction and location). From your answers we work out your skills report: scores, how you compare with others who sat the same tests, and patterns such as pace. While your profile is visible, employers see that report and your profile without your name or contact details, which only reach an employer if you accept their request for an introduction. When an employer opens your profile we record which organisation and the day, and show you how many looked, never which ones. If you turn on your verified skills page, anyone with its link can see your name and results until you turn it off.

If you take a partner's course in the talent pool we record that you enrolled, which lessons you finished, your test answers and whether you passed. A course you pass appears on your profile, and so to employers and on your verified skills page when those are on, marked as set by that partner. The partner who published the course sees only totals, such as how many people enrolled and passed and the average score, never your name, your details or your individual result. Partner organisations apply to us, and we store what they tell us about themselves and the courses they write.

Decision patterns. Some answer options in our scenario questions are tagged with what choosing them suggests about how someone decides, for example gathering facts before escalating. For a candidate, we add up the tags on the options they chose and show the employer the pattern, described as choices made in the assessed scenarios. This uses only the answers the candidate already gave. It never changes a score, is never used to rank or reject anyone, and is shown only where there is enough evidence.

Workprint. If an employer includes Workprint, candidates are asked, after their questions, how they tend to approach work. Workprint asks how you tend to approach work: planning, deciding, working with others, and learning. There are no right or wrong answers, and it is not a test. The employer's hiring team sees where your answers place you on sixteen ways of working, each described as a range between two useful styles. It is never added to your score or used to rank candidates. Taking part is optional: a candidate can skip it and still finish the assessment. We store the answers, how long each took, the browser's language setting, and the result. Employees can be asked to complete Workprint by their employer through their own link, on the same terms, and see who can read their answers before they start. Pool members can take it for themselves; it stays private unless they choose to show it on their anonymous profile.

We never use Workprint or decision patterns to infer health, beliefs, political opinions or any other protected characteristic, and they are never used for automated decisions about anyone. Your answers are kept with the employer's assessment record and deleted with it, and never used to infer anything about your health, beliefs or other personal characteristics.

Employers can record their existing teams in quizego (names, roles, optionally email addresses) to compare how people like to work. When an employer records a hire, we send the new employee and their manager short questions at 30, 90 and 180 days about how the role is going, and store each person's answers separately with their date. The employee can decline, and their answers never change their assessment results. The employer is the controller of all of this and must tell their people about it; over time it lets them see, in their own data, which parts of their hiring evidence mattered. We don't combine one employer's outcome data with another's.

• Consent — for contacting you about quizego or for feedback after the sample test.
• Contract — to provide the accounts and services you sign up for.
• Legitimate interests — to show you the sample test report you asked for, to keep the service secure (for example, rate limits on forms), and to understand how people find us from the links they arrive by.
• Consent — for the optional cookies described below.
• For Workprint, decision patterns, team records and follow-ups, the employer decides the legal basis as the controller; we process on their instructions under our Data Processing Agreement. Pool members take Workprint with their consent.

If an email we send to you bounces, is delayed or is reported as spam, our email provider tells us, and we record the address, the problem and when it happened, so the person who asked us to email you can reach you another way. We delete these records once mail gets through again, or after at most 12 months.

We use service providers to run quizego: hosting (Vercel) and our database (Neon), both in London, email delivery (Resend) in the USA, and payments (Paystack in Africa, Stripe elsewhere), covered by the safeguards the law requires. Card and bank details go straight to the payment provider; we never see or store them. They process data only on our instructions. We don't sell personal data, and we don't use advertising trackers. For the data employers put into quizego, our Data Processing Agreement applies; use of the service is covered by our Terms of Service.

These cookies are needed for the service to work, and are always on:

• qg_session — keeps you signed in to an employer account.
• qg_talent — keeps you signed in to the talent pool.
• qz_consent — remembers your cookie choice, for a year.

These are optional, and only set if you choose Accept in the cookie banner:

• qz_src — where you found us (a campaign tag, ad click or referring site), for 90 days, so we can tell which channels bring people who sign up.
• qz_demo — your sample-test session, for 180 days, so we can tell whether the sample test led to an account.

You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the foot of our pages. We don't use advertising or third-party analytics cookies.

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to how we use it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Email contact@quizego.com. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.
