Privacy policy

1. Scope

This policy covers visits to the quiz pages, interactions with navigation links and any information voluntarily entered into a contact form added to the result page. It does not govern third-party websites reached through external links.

2. Technical data

When a page is requested, hosting systems may process an IP address, date and time, requested resource, response status, browser type, operating system, referring page and comparable diagnostic information. This data is commonly required to deliver pages, maintain availability and investigate faults or misuse.

3. Purposes and lawful bases

Technical data may be processed to provide a secure, functional website and protect legitimate operational interests. Information sent with a request may be processed to take steps requested by the sender, respond to the communication or pursue legitimate interests in handling relevant enquiries. Where processing depends on optional consent, consent may be withdrawn for future processing.

4. Quiz choices

The static answer links move between pages and do not require an account. The website itself does not need to create a scored personal profile. Hosting logs may still record requested URLs. Users should avoid putting confidential information into a URL.

5. Data submitted through the contact form

If a server-provided contact form is available, it may request identity or contact details, career-related context and the message supplied by the user. Only information necessary for the enquiry should be submitted. Do not include passwords, highly sensitive personal data, confidential employer material or information about other people unless there is a lawful reason to do so.

Submission does not by itself guarantee a reply, a service relationship, employment support or any career outcome. The published form should identify required fields and provide any additional processing information relevant to its implementation.

6. Cookies and local storage

These static pages do not require cookies for the quiz flow. The hosting environment may use strictly necessary technologies for security, traffic routing or preference storage. Optional analytics or marketing technologies should not be activated without appropriate information and, where required, valid consent.

7. Recipients and service providers

Data may be accessible to infrastructure, hosting, security, maintenance or message-delivery providers where needed for their tasks. Access should be limited by role and governed by suitable contractual and confidentiality arrangements. Data may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

8. International transfers

Some technical service providers may process data outside Germany or the European Economic Area. Where restricted transfers occur, an appropriate transfer mechanism and supplementary safeguards should be considered, together with information about relevant risks and available protections.

9. Retention

Personal data should be kept only as long as reasonably needed for the relevant purpose, legal obligations, security, dispute handling or the establishment and defence of claims. Retention periods may differ according to data type and context. Data should then be deleted or anonymised when continued storage is no longer justified.

10. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should protect data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system can be represented as risk-free, so users should submit only information necessary for their request.

11. User rights

Depending on the circumstances, individuals may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, as well as the right to withdraw consent for the future. A person may also have the right to complain to a competent data protection supervisory authority. Requests may be made through the contact mechanism presented on the published website, where available. Identity verification may be required before a request is fulfilled.

12. Minors

This career reflection is intended for adults and is not designed to collect information from children. Minors should avoid submitting personal data without appropriate involvement from a parent or guardian.

13. Policy updates

This notice may be revised when website functions, service providers or legal requirements change. The version displayed on this page is the version applicable to current use. Material changes should be explained clearly where appropriate.

14. Questions about privacy

Where the published website provides a contact mechanism, it may be used for privacy questions and rights requests. Include enough detail to identify the relevant interaction, but do not send unnecessary sensitive information.
