Privacy Notice

Data controller: Sunlit Uplands (sonny@sunlit-uplands.com).

What data we collect. When you take an assessment, we collect:

• Your email address (required, used to send you your results)
• Your name (optional, used for leaderboard display only)
• Your assessment responses, overall score, score breakdown by category, and time taken
• The date and time of your attempt

How we use your data. We use this data to:

• Send you a personalised results email with your score and category breakdown
• Display your name and overall score on the leaderboard, where your score qualifies for inclusion (top 10 scores within the preceding 6 months)
• Generate aggregate, anonymised statistical information about assessment performance across all users (for example, average scores, common areas of difficulty). This aggregate data does not identify any individual

What we do not do. We do not sell, share or disclose your personal data to any third party, except as described in this notice. Your individual score breakdown is not disclosed to any other person — only you, Sunlit Uplands and our data processor (Supabase, see below) have access to it. Your overall score is made public only to the extent that it qualifies for the leaderboard.

Lawful basis. We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, given when you submit an assessment and provide your email address, and on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and improving this platform.

Data processor — Supabase. Assessment data (including personal data) is stored on servers provided by Supabase Inc., which acts as our data processor. Supabase processes data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. For further information about Supabase's data handling practices, see supabase.com/privacy.

Data retention. We retain personal data for up to 6 years from the date of collection, after which it will be deleted or anonymised. Sunlit Uplands reserves the right to modify or erase data at any time.

Your rights. Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data. Note that where data has already been incorporated into anonymised aggregate statistics, it cannot be removed from those statistics, as it no longer constitutes personal data in that form
• Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Right to object — to object to processing based on our legitimate interests

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at sonny@sunlit-uplands.com. We will respond within one month.

Complaints. If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies. This website does not currently use cookies or tracking technologies beyond those strictly necessary for the operation of the website.

Changes to this notice. We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page.
