Privacy, data, and consent (overview)

This page is a high-level overview to help you evaluate B5.ly. For formal compliance details, vendor documents, or a data processing agreement (DPA), contact us during onboarding.

Core principles

• Purpose limitation: use results for clear, legitimate purposes (for example coaching or hiring support).
• Access control: only authorized users should access results.
• Transparency: participants should know what the assessment is for and who will see the results.
• Minimization: collect only what you need for your workflow.

Consent and participant communication

Organizations typically:

• Explain why the assessment is used and how it supports decisions
• Describe who can view results (for example HR, a coach, the hiring manager)
• Provide a contact channel for questions

Data handling (overview)

Data handling details depend on your deployment (portal vs API integration) and your account configuration. As part of onboarding we can clarify:

• Data retention expectations
• Export or deletion workflows (where applicable)
• Security and access patterns

Good practice checklist

• Use a consistent process (same assessment, same interpretation rules).
• Train anyone who will present results to avoid misinterpretation.
• Treat results as one signal and avoid automated decisions.
