2. PERSONAL INFORMATION
2.1 When you use the PRISM site ("The Site") you may be required to provide certain details about yourself. This personal data may be recorded on our internal systems for the reasons set out in paragraphs 2.3 and 2.4 below. PRISM Brain Mapping UK LLP, as the Data Processor, fully acknowledges and accepts the importance of such information and confirms that such data will be used responsibly and in accordance with your rights and the Data Processor’s responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In this regard, the Data Processor will act ethically and as evidence of this commitment, it will comply with the privacy and data protection requirements of the United Kingdom as set out by the Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2.3 By providing personal data via the Site, you are consenting to its collection, storage and use in accordance with the Data Processor’s privacy policy. The personal information collected is used:
(i)to provide you with Materials and Services.
(ii) for customer administration.
(iii) for mailing information to you about our other Materials and Services in which you may be interested, and, where relevant, information on organisations outside the UK who are authorised to offer the Materials and Services.
(iv) to provide, on request, personalised computer-generated reports and related services - to personalise the service provided to you.
(v)to seek your views on products and services.
(vi) for the technical administration of the Site.
2.4 What information do we collect from you, and why?
(i)If you expressly consent to receive marketing communications from PRISM, we will collect and store your forename, surname, company, company address, telephone number, email address so that we can send you information about PRISM news, products, services which may be of interest to you.
(ii) If you are a supplier or client of PRISM Brain Mapping UK, we will collect and store your name, company details, telephone number, email address and financial data in order to fulfil any contractual obligations with regard to the supply or delivery of services.
(iii) If you are completing a PRISM questionnaire, we will collect and store:
- Your forename and surname – in order to print your names on the report
- Organisation’s name – to assist with file organisation and compilation of some PRISM reports
- Your email address – to send the questionnaire, to send reminders or other information that is critical to why you have been asked to complete a questionnaire, and to send a copy of the report, if applicable
- Your responses to the PRISM questionnaire – these are held in a raw, unprocessed numerical/text format only. No compiled reports are stored by the PRISM system
- Gender – your gender will be stored only to enable scripting of PRISM reports. (This is only relevant where a language employs gender-based grammatical differences.)
PRISM acts in two different capacities – as a Data Controller when processing customer data, and as a Data processor in relation to processing of Data Subjects’ data for the purposes of compiling reports on behalf of our direct clients.
2.5 Who might we share information with?
Your data may be accessed by PRISM Brain Mapping UK employees and by your PRISM Distributor and PRISM Practitioner. Your PRISM Practitioner is identified in the email containing the link to the PRISM questionnaire. As part of our research, PRISM Brain Mapping UK may also share collated, anonymised data publicly for the purposes of validation. If you’re completing a questionnaire about someone else and that person asks to view their data, your privacy will be protected.
2.6 What do we do with your information?
We use your responses to the PRISM questionnaire to calculate and compile your PRISM report and/or Team Maps. Your gender is used only to script reports in languages that have grammatical gender requirements and not in the calculation process. Your data will be held in our secure database and can be accessed by a PRISM Practitioner both as a reference and to produce further reports. PRISM is not responsible for the use of the data by our PRISM Practitioners.
2.7 Our legal basis for processing data
