Privacy Policy for Program Participants
Enlightened Leadership Solution’s goal is to improve the quality of leadership in organizations through research, education, and the dissemination of knowledge. As part of this effort, we sometimes gather research data on both organizations and people. These data are then analyzed and the results are used by ELS and published in summary from in reports designed for wide circulation. By providing personal data to ELS, you agree that we may use that data to deliver the requested service and communicate information to you regarding ELS-related programs, products and services in which you may be interested.
Since the organizations and people who participate in leadership development activities represent valuable sources for research data, the information we collect from them is stored in our databases and may become a part of a research project. We also, however, have a strong commitment to protect the rights, privacy, and dignity of every person who participates in these activities. For this reason we have a number of safeguards:
- Assessment data collected about or from an individual as part of a development activity are shared with and explained to that person.
- Information we collect about or from an individual is considered confidential. Individuals receive feedback on instruments only from qualified Feedback Coaches.
- Although ELS has never been required to release information without an individual’s permission (or the permission of an authorized legal representative such as an executor, executrix, or the holder of a valid power of attorney), we should note that in the extremely rare case of a court order, we might be compelled to do so.
- Data collected from surveys published by ELS are stored in its database. They become a part of the norm group, containing thousands of scores, against which individual scores are calibrated. Periodically, we publish data on groups of people. Individuals are never identified in these reports. Specific organizations are identified only if we receive prior written approval from the organization. We also may provide to an organization, summary profiles on groups of individual in that organization if the number of individual s is large enough to be potentially meaningful.
- If you do not wish to have your test scores become part of our research database, you must complete the information on page two and return it to the following address: Enlightened Leadership Solutions, Inc. 7100 E Belleview Ave, Suite 306 Greenwood Village , CO 80111 . Requests must contain your full name, signature, and organization name. In order to ensure that all testing materials for individuals are received and scored, data are typically not deleted until 60-90 days after receipt of the request. Please remember that if you have your data removed from the database, we will not be able to provide to you a duplicate feedback report at a later date or use your data in any group profiles.
- From time to time, ELS makes use of the personal data we collect to keep our constituents aware of new related to ELS programs, products and services. People that we contact are provided with a means of informing ELS that they would not like to receive such information. For details on these procedures, visit our web site: www.enleadership.com . We take your privacy very seriously and will act responsibly.
