Terms and Conditions of Service

Processing of your data is lawful under the article 6 of the EU GDPR (general data protection regulation) on the basis of the performance of a contract between you and Rosinski & Company sprl:

• For individual users: processing your personal data is necessary to issue your personal COF report and to include your data in aggregate COF reports (for projects and research purposes)
• For certified COF project managers: processing your personal data is necessary to issue your personal COF report and to include your data in aggregate COF reports (for projects and research purposes) & to allow you to generate COF aggregate reports and benefit from other services available to certified users
• For COF administrators: processing your personal data is necessary to issue your personal COF report and to include your data in aggregate COF reports (for projects and research purposes) & to allow you to generate COF aggregate reports and benefit from other services available to certified users & to benefit from services available to COF administrators

You explicit agree to that contract, which includes the following protections and conditions.

Confidentiality

Your individual responses will be treated in strict confidentiality: individual results will be accessible only to you, to the authorized COF administrators, to your COF project manager and to Rosinski & Company’s webmaster. Guaranteeing confidentiality of individual data is critical to ensure you respond candidly and results are meaningful.

The authorized COF administrators and the COF project managers will make certain that individual data are not divulged and are only shared with others in the form of group aggregate results.

Use of participant licenses (for COF project managers)

Licenses you have purchased can be used as long as the COF assessment will remain in operation – we don’t intend to stop the COF assessment, which is already available since 2006.  

Data protection

• Your data will be only available to you, to the authorized COF administrators, to your COF project manager and to Rosinski & Company’s webmaster. Your data will not be shared with anyone else.
• You will be able to print an individual COF report with your results. In the case of a group project, you will have a chance to compare your individual cultural orientations with the group’s overall results provided by your COF project manager.
• Your data may be used for research purposes (e.g., cross-correlating cultural orientations and demographic characteristics) but results will only be shared in an aggregate form (your individual results will not be shared). And the clause above (your data will be only available to you, to the authorized COF administrators, to your COF project manager and to Rosinski & Company’s webmaster) still applies – the researcher acts as the COF project manager.
• You have access at all times to your personal data. You can choose your own username and password. The latter will be encrypted and only known by you. In case you have forgotten your username and/or password, a procedure allows you to choose a new username and/or password. You will just need to mention the e-mail address used when you entered the COF assessment.
• In case you register into the system as a participant but don’t complete the COF assessment afterwards, your record/data will automatically be erased from the system after 12 hours (please note though that the exact duration is susceptible to be changed without notice).
• You will have the possibility to register to Rosinski & Company’s mailing list. You won’t be registered by default. In this case, Rosinski & Company may send you occasional newsletters but won’t divulge your data to any third party.
• Credit card and the information you provide for payment purposes: this is managed by Paypal – it is neither available nor stocked by Rosinski & Company
• The exchange of information between the user and our website is secured by the SSL encryption protocol
• Sensitive data (passwords) are stocked by respecting current security standards

Continuity of service and disclaimer of warranties

We do our best to ensure the continuity of service but you accept that temporary disruptions may exceptionally occur and that, in these circumstances, no compensation will be due by Rosinski & Company. More generally, you agree to not hold Rosinski & Company responsible for any inconvenience due to the exceptional disruption or loss of data, or any damage in connection with the use of the COF assessment.
