Cookies and other tracking technologies
A cookie is a small text file that a website sends to a visitor’s browser and that sends back information each time the visitor makes a request from the website. A cookie contains a unique identification number that identifies the visitor’s browser, but not necessarily the visitor. Cookies can be accepted, rejected or identified by configuring your browser’s preferences. Pixel tags or clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are embedded invisibly on a webpage and are used to track a visitor’s movements on a website. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to Personal Information. You can learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies and pixel tags are used to help recognize a returning visitor, and to help customize the visitor’s online experience. Unless a visitor specifically informs us of his/her identity (e.g. by registering with us), we will not know who the individual visitor is. Our third party advertising partners may employ pixel tags that help us better manage content on our Site by informing us what content is effective.
How Long we Retain Personal Information
We retain training assessments scores and responses and the related Report associated with the user ID or transaction number that our Customers provided us in accordance with our internal record retention policy and for at least five (5) years from the date when an Subscriber completes his/her Training Course. Thereafter, we retain the Subscribers records in an anonymised format for as long as the information is needed for our research, statistical analysis or product development.
How We Protect Personal Information
Security – We follow generally accepted industry standards such as GDPR to protect personal information, during transmission and once we receive it. We use administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Encryption – Any data collected by AccuMatchBI for the purposes of assessments and on-line coaching is protected by encryption. This means we keep data in an unreadable state unless a user or process presents the appropriate key. In accordance with GDPR, this simple control method restricts data processing only for authorised use, and restricts the amount of time that you are identifiable by your data. Our data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption prevents unauthorised data manipulation; limits data access to authorized users, and monitors key usage to ensure that the data cannot be changed without authorization. AccuMatchBI’s use of encryption together with our access controls provides users to have confidence in their data’s integrity.
Transit – When we need to transfer information out of our firewall, we use encryption methods to protect your data while in transit through the internet. We use encryption and a comprehensive authentication protocol to provide reasonable security. Therefore, while we use the highest standards commercially available to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method can ever guarantee its absolute security.
Identity theft – Identity theft and the practice currently known as ‘phishing’ are of great concern to us.
Please understand that you also have a responsibility in protecting your information. The only time when an AccuMatchBI associate may contact you (via electronic communication, postal mail, telephone, etc.) about your credit card or payment information is in connection with a transaction that you have initiated. Otherwise, no one from AccuMatchBI is permitted to contact anyone to request your credit card information, national identification number, or other identifier or sensitive information in a non-secure or unsolicited email or telephone communication.

We will exercise reasonable efforts to keep your Personal Information accurate. However, we need your help in making sure that your Personal Information is correct in our systems.
