We have data processing agreements or comparable arrangements with all these parties that comply with the GDPR.

Assessment candidates

For each assessment candidate a file is built up with personal data, conversation notes, correspondence and test results. These files are accessible only to AVOP employees who need this data for their work.

Every written report is submitted to the candidate for review and approval prior to being sent to the client. Only after written approval by the candidate is the report sent. AVOP never reports on confidential conversation content.
