DATA AND PRIVACY

SRS involves the collection and interpretation of personal behavioural information. As such, data protection, confidentiality, and responsible handling are treated as fundamental, not optional.

All data gathered through the SRS assessment process is handled in line with applicable data protection legislation and professional standards. The assessment is designed to balance meaningful insight with respect for individual privacy, dignity, and consent. 

This section outlines how SRS data is collected, stored, used, and protected.

The SRS assessment collects information directly relevant to behavioural understanding and interpretation. This typically includes:

SRS does not collect unnecessary personal data, nor does it seek information unrelated to behavioural insight.

All data collected has a defined purpose within the assessment process.

Data collected through SRS is used solely to support behavioural interpretation and feedback.

It is applied to:

SRS data is not used for automated decision-making, profiling without interpretation, or purposes beyond those explicitly agreed with the client and participant.

Insight is contextual and explanatory, not predictive in a deterministic or absolute sense.

Confidentiality is central to the SRS process.

Access to assessment data is restricted to:

Data is not shared with third parties without explicit consent, except where required by law. Clear agreements are established regarding who will receive insight, in what form, and for what purpose.

Participation in the SRS assessment process is based on informed consent.

Behavioural data carries responsibility.

SRS insight is designed to inform understanding, not to label, stigmatise, or limit individuals. Interpretation focuses on behavioural patterns within context, rather than fixed traits or judgements.

The requirement for professional interpretation forms part of this ethical safeguard, ensuring that insight is applied thoughtfully and proportionately.

SRS operates in alignment with relevant data protection legislation, including GDPR where applicable.

Compliance is not treated as a technical exercise alone, but as part of a broader commitment to responsible, respectful use of behavioural information.
