UQ Consult (United Qiwa for Consulting) (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a national human-resources advisory firm based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, offering HR advisory, talent assessments, and talent development services. We are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors, clients, candidates, and partners. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights available to you. This policy applies to uq-consult.com and to our related services, including psychometric assessments delivered in partnership with Harrison Assessments International, Ltd. (“Harrison Assessments”).
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Identity and contact data — full name, employer or business, job title, postal address, email address, and telephone or WhatsApp numbers.
- Professional and assessment data — information you or your employer provide for talent assessments, assessment-center exercises, 360° feedback, and organizational analysis, together with the reports generated from that data.
- Application data — details submitted when you apply for a role or express interest in our services.
- Technical and usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed, collected automatically through cookies and analytics.
- Sensitive data — where required for a specific assessment or engagement, and only with your explicit consent, we may process special categories of data.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to enquiries and provide the consulting, training, and assessment services you or your organization request.
- To administer psychometric assessments and generate organizational and individual development reports.
- To process job and program applications.
- To send you administrative or, where you have consented, marketing communications.
- To operate, maintain, and improve our website and services.
- To comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
3. Assessments and Our Harrison Assessments Partnership
Certain assessment services are delivered through the Harrison Assessments platform. When you complete an assessment, the questionnaire responses and resulting reports are processed on the Harrison Assessments system on our behalf. Harrison Assessments acts as our service provider and applies its own security and privacy safeguards, including SSL protection, encryption, pseudonymization, and password-protected accounts. Harrison Assessments confirms that it does not trade, rent, or sell personal information to unaffiliated third parties. For details of how Harrison Assessments processes assessment data, please see the Harrison Assessments Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. These include essential authentication cookies needed for secure access, and analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) used to understand website usage on an aggregated, anonymized basis. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features of the site may not function correctly without them.
5. Social Media Platforms (X and LinkedIn)
We maintain an official presence on X (formerly Twitter) at @UQ_Consult and on LinkedIn at our company page. Please note:
- When you interact with us on X or LinkedIn — by following, messaging, commenting, or clicking share and follow buttons on our website — the data you share is also governed by the privacy policies of those platforms, over which we have no control.
- Our website may embed social sharing or follow buttons for X and LinkedIn. These may set cookies or collect technical data (such as your IP address) to enable the feature, in accordance with each platform’s own terms.
- Any information you send us through direct messages on X or LinkedIn is used only to respond to your enquiry.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of X and LinkedIn to understand how they handle your data.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:
- Service providers and partners — including Harrison Assessments and other vendors who help us deliver assessments, hosting, analytics, and communications, bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Your organization — where an assessment or engagement is commissioned by your employer, relevant reports may be shared with them.
- Legal and regulatory authorities — where required to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
7. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers, including Harrison Assessments, host data on servers located outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we and our providers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it in line with applicable data-protection laws.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to provide our services, and to meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
9. Data Security
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure hosting — to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
