Privacy Policy

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE TREAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AS WELL AS YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR SITE, OUR SERVICES, OR ENGAGE IN COMMUNICATION WITH US.

  1. Introduction

Leadership Development Worldwide, LLC (“LDW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information that we collect, use, share, and otherwise process. We also believe in transparency and this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains how we treat your personal information. 

When Does this Policy Apply? This Policy describes our practices for the personal information collected, processed, and disclosed when you:

  • Visit our website (www.ldw-w.com) (the “Site”);
  • Use software platforms and applications we make available for use on or through computers or mobile devices;
  • Engage with our social media pages; 
  • Any offline business interactions you have with us, including in-person discussions, telephone conversations, and non-electronic communications; and 
  • Otherwise use our online services that link to this policy (collectively the “Services”).
  1. Information We Collect

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with LDW and the Services,  the products and features you use, and our relationship with you. The personal information we collect may include: 

  • Information you provide 
  • Contact and business information, including name, email, phone number, title, company, and other information you submit through forms.
  • Communications and inquiries, including messages you send to us, feedback, meeting-related information, and any other content or information you choose to provide in your correspondence with us.
  • Newsletter and marketing preferences, including email list subscriptions and communication preferences (including SMS where applicable).
  • User-generated content, including any writing, reviews, feedback, testimonials, or other material you submit to us.
  • Assessment, coaching, and engagement information

If you are participating in an LDW assessment, coaching engagement, interview, or related service, we may collect or generate information such as:

  • Assessment inputs and outputs (e.g., questionnaire responses, psychometric inventory results (e.g., Hogan assessments), assessment results, interview themes, and feedback summaries). 
  • 360-degree feedback and stakeholder input, where the engagement includes it.
  • Engagement logistics (e.g., scheduling information and participation status), and correspondence related to the engagement.
  • Professional background information (e.g., resume or CV, employment history, education, professional qualifications, compensation information, and other career-related details where relevant to the engagement).

In many engagements, LDW is engaged by an organization (such as your employer, a board, or a private equity firm) that sponsors the work (a “Sponsoring Organization”). The Sponsoring Organization may provide us with additional information about you (for example, role scope, background, or stakeholder lists) to enable the engagement. Depending on the nature of the engagement and the applicable agreement, LDW may act as an independent controller/business, as a processor/service provider acting on behalf of a Sponsoring Organization, or as a joint controller with another party. 

  • Sensitive Information

Some of the information we collect in connection with assessments and engagements—such as psychometric test results or information that may reveal aspects of psychological profile, health, racial or ethnic origin, or other characteristics—may be considered sensitive information or special category data under applicable law. Where we process sensitive information or special category data, we do so only where we have an applicable legal basis and, where required, a separate condition for processing that type of information, such as your explicit consent, processing necessary for employment-law obligations or rights, protection of vital interests, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.  Providing this information is voluntary, however, declining to do so may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services.. Further, if particular information is necessary to provide a requested assessment, coaching engagement, or related Service, we may be unable to provide that portion of the Services without it.

  • Information collected automatically

When you visit, use, or navigate the Services, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect certain technical information, such as: 

  • Device and browser information (e.g., browser type, Internet Protocol (IP) address, platform, device type, operating system, unique device identifiers).
  • Usage information (e.g., pages viewed, date and time of access, referring URLs, how you navigate the Services, approximate location derived from IP address, and interactions with the Services).
  • Information collected through cookies, server logs, web beacons, pixels, and other similar technologies used for site functionality, analytics, and security. Please see the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section below for more information.

Other information that you voluntarily share with us to facilitate use of the Services which is not specifically listed here will be used in accordance with this Policy, as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection, in accordance with our applicable agreement with you, or to the extent necessary for providing the Services.

We may also collect, use, and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data, or de-identified data that does not directly or indirectly identify you, for any purpose. Aggregated or de-identified data is not considered personal information under applicable law and we do not use it to attempt to re-identify you.

 

  1. How We Use Your Information

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we use your personal information for the following purposes: 

  • Provide, administer, and deliver the Services (including assessments, coaching, and advisory work) and related engagements.

  • Obtain or maintain insurance coverage, manage risks, or obtain professional advice.

  • Accomplish any other purpose (a) that is described to you when you provide the information for which you consent, (b) that is related or ancillary to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or (c) for which we have a legal basis under applicable law. 

What Is Our Legal Basis for Processing Your Information? Where EU, EEA, UK, Swiss, or similar data protection law applies, our legal basis depends on the purpose for which we process the personal information. We generally rely on the following legal bases: 

  • Providing and administering the Services. We process contact information, professional background information, engagement logistics, and related communications where necessary to perform a contract with you or a Sponsoring Organization, to take steps before entering into a contract, and/or for our legitimate interests in delivering and managing the Services.
  • Assessments, coaching, 360-degree feedback, and Sponsoring Organization deliverables. We process assessment inputs and outputs, interview notes, feedback, stakeholder input, and related professional information where necessary to provide the relevant assessment, coaching, advisory, or related deliverable and for our legitimate interests and/or the legitimate interests of the Sponsoring Organization in carrying out the engagement. Where this processing includes sensitive information or special category data, we rely on an applicable legal basis and, where required, a separate condition for processing that type of information, as described above. 
  • Marketing, analytics, and non-essential cookies. We process marketing preferences, communications data, cookie data, and similar technical information based on consent where required by applicable law, and otherwise based on our legitimate interests in communicating with current or prospective clients, understanding the performance of the Site and Services, and improving our offerings, subject to your opt-out rights where applicable. 
  • Security, compliance, and business operations. We process personal information where necessary for our legitimate interests in securing the Site and Services, detecting and preventing fraud or misuse, maintaining business records, managing risk, obtaining professional advice, and administering our business, and where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.  
  • Legal claims and professional obligations. We process personal information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to enforce our agreements, to respond to legal process, to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, or to obtain legal, accounting, audit, or other professional advice. 
  • Vital interests. We rely on vital interests only in limited circumstances where processing is necessary to protect the life, health, or safety of an individual, such as in an emergency.  

We do not use personal information for making any automated decisions affecting or creating profiles other than as described in this Privacy Policy and the “Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools” section below.

 

  1. How We May Disclose Information

We may disclose or share your personal information described above to the following types of third-parties: 

  • Sponsoring Organization. We may disclose your information to the Sponsoring Organization for an engagement, consistent with the purpose of the engagement and any applicable agreements. (For example, assessment and feedback outputs are often shared with an authorized sponsor.) 
  • Service providers and advisors. We share information with our contractors, service providers, insurers, and advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, and auditors) that need access to information to provide services on our behalf or perform functions for us. Among other things, the recipients help us operate the Site and Services (including hosting, analytics, communications, scheduling, and IT/security support), and assist with other legitimate purposes permitted by law. 
  • Legal obligations and rights. We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders, or other legal process, or to comply with applicable laws.  We may also disclose information to establish or exercise our legal rights, defend against legal claims, and investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, or threats to the safety of any person or property.
  • Corporate transactions. We may disclose your information in the event of a  merger, acquisition, financing, or other sale or transfer of our organization, subject to appropriate protections. 
  • Affiliates. We may share your information with our subsidiaries and affiliates, and with their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, in connection with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
  • With your consent. We may ask if you would like us to share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. We will only disclose your Personal Information in this context with your consent.

 

  1. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools

LDW may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other automated tools in connection with the Services, including to assist in preparing assessment reports, analyzing information provided during engagements, generating summaries or insights, improving our internal operations, and enhancing the quality and efficiency of the Services we provide. These tools may process Personal Information, including assessment inputs and outputs, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Where AI tools are used in connection with assessments or client deliverables, a qualified human professional reviews AI-generated outputs before they are relied upon in any assessment, recommendation, or deliverable provided to a client or sponsoring organization. LDW does not use AI as the sole basis for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without human oversight.

We engage third-party AI service providers subject to contractual and other safeguards appropriate to the information processed. Unless we disclose otherwise or obtain consent, we do not permit third-party AI service providers to use personal information submitted by LDW to train public or general-purpose AI models. AI-generated content (including prompts and responses) is subject to defined retention and deletion schedules consistent with applicable law and our data retention practices. For more information about how we use AI, the safeguards we apply, or how to exercise your rights in connection with automated processing, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

 

  1. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Services may use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, tags, and scripts). Cookies are small text files stored on your device or browser. 

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Do We Use and Why Do We Use Them?

We use certain cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, to measure and track how you interact with the Site, to ensure the privacy and security of our Site, to enhance your experience and provide you with a more personal and interactive experience, to provide interest-based advertising to you, to perform usage analytics, and to otherwise tailor our communications to you.  

After visiting our Site, you may see information about our services on unrelated websites.  This may occur as a result of a placement of a cookie or other tracking technology from your past browsing.  For example, our advertisers may display targeted advertisements when you visit third-party websites or social networks based on your previous interactions with our Services as tracked by cookies and similar technologies.  This process also helps us understand the effectiveness of our content and marketing efforts.  

Some of our service providers may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of the Site and may combine the information in these cookies with personal information about you that you may have provided or that they may have through permissible means.  How and when a third party uses that tracking information depends on their privacy policy, which you should review.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Services include the following:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary to operate the Services, such as maintaining security and enabling core site functionality. These are typically session cookies that are erased when you close your browser. We do not require your consent for strictly necessary cookies.

Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and understand how visitors navigate the Services. This helps us improve how the Services work by ensuring that visitors can easily find what they are looking for.

Functional Cookies: These cookies improve the functional performance of the Services and make them easier to use, by remembering your language preferences and that you have previously visited the Services.

Where required by law, we rely on your express opt-in consent for the use of performance and analytic cookies and similar technologies. The legal basis for processing of strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interests. 

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through on-site cookie preference controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can choose to set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being stored.

  1. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide the Services, administer engagements, to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements, to determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements. In some circumstances, you may ask us to delete your personal information; see the “Your Choices and Rights” section below. We may anonymize or de-identify personal information for research or statistical purposes, in which case the information may be used indefinitely without further notice to you. Retention may also be governed by the terms of an engagement with a sponsoring organization.

In some circumstances, you may ask us to delete your personal information; see the “Your Choices and Rights” section below. We may anonymize or de-identify personal information for research or statistical purposes, in which case the information may be used indefinitely without further notice to you. Retention may also be governed by the terms of an engagement with a sponsoring organization. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect when: (1) we have a legal obligation to do so; (2) we no longer have a purpose for retaining the information; or (3) if you ask us to delete your personal information unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate, legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations.  We may also delete your information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of it is contrary to our objectives or legal obligations.

 

  1. Security 

We recognize the importance of safeguarding your personal information and we endeavor to maintain appropriate and reasonable administrative, technical, physical, and  organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure, and to detect fraudulent identity verification activity and mitigate risks concerning your personal information. 

While our security measures seek to protect your information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information transmitted to or from the Site, or otherwise through our Services.  We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

 

  1. International Transfers

LDW is headquartered in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other locations where LDW, our consultants, or our service providers operate. By sending us personal information or using the Site or our Services, you agree and consent to the processing of your personal information in locations such as the United States, which may not offer the levels of protection required in other countries. We rely on recognized legal bases to lawfully conduct cross-border/international transfers of personal information such as express consent, when transfer is necessary for us to deliver services pursuant to an agreement, or when the transfer is subject to safeguards that assure the protection of the personal information as may be required under applicable law. These countries may not offer the same level of data protection as the laws of your home country. 

Any transfer of personal information to countries outside of your home jurisdiction will only take place where adequate safeguards exist, including reliance on an applicable adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, binding corporate rules, approved certification mechanisms, or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable data protection law.
