This policy explains what personal data auricadvisory.com collects, why, who receives it, how long it is kept and what rights you have. It is written to be read, not skimmed past. It is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Icelandic Act on Data Protection and the Processing of Personal Data (No. 90/2018).
The controller of personal data collected through auricadvisory.com is Enoch Osei, trading as Auric Advisory, Reykjavík, Iceland. For anything in this policy, write to hello@auricadvisory.com. Every message to that address is read by Enoch Osei personally.
Contact form. Your name, email address, organisation, country and the nature of your enquiry. Depending on the enquiry, also: team size, existing HR support and the HR challenges you tick; or team size and the organisational patterns you tick; or event type, audience size and event date. Then how soon you need support, and your message.
Please describe your situation in general terms. Do not name individual employees or include anyone’s health details in your message. If something like that is needed later, it will be handled under a written agreement as part of an engagement.
Pay Equity Checker. Only if you ask for the written report: your name, work email and organisation, with your employee-size band, sector, ÍST 85 certification status, your answers, your scores and a summary of the result.
HR Health Check. Only if you ask for the written report: your email address and company (optional), with your answers, your score, your tier and a summary of the result.
For both assessments, the submission also carries a private link that reopens your report exactly as you saw it. The link itself contains the contact details you entered and your answers, and it is used only by Enoch Osei to prepare your written report. If you complete either assessment without asking for the written report, nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
Pay Gap Report. The payroll file you load is read and analysed entirely inside your own browser. It is never uploaded, transmitted or stored, and Auric Advisory never sees it.
Job Evaluation Builder. The roles, scores, weights and notes you enter are kept only in your own browser, so that you can close the page and come back to them. When you send your value bands to the Pay Gap Report, they pass between the two pages inside your browser and are cleared when you close the tab. None of it is ever sent to Auric Advisory, and the builder’s “Erase everything” button removes it.
Technical data. With every form submission, the form service also records your IP address, your browser’s user-agent string, the page you came from and the time of submission. When you simply visit a page, the hosting provider processes your IP address to deliver it.
Your data is never sold, rented or used for advertising, and you will not be added to any mailing list. Assessment scores come from a fixed scoring scheme shown on screen. No decision with legal or similarly significant effect is made about you by automated means.
Giving your details is entirely voluntary. Without an email address, there is simply no way to reply to you.
Two service providers process data on Auric Advisory’s behalf, as processors only:
Both are based in the United States, so these are transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area. Both companies are certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and both also provide the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. No other third party receives your data. Every font, image and script on this site is served from the site itself, so visiting it contacts no other service.
Enquiries and assessment submissions are kept for twelve months and then deleted, both from the form service and from the mailbox. If an engagement follows, correspondence is kept for two years after the engagement ends. Financial records and engagement documentation are kept for seven years, as Icelandic bookkeeping law requires. You may ask for deletion sooner at any time.
You have the right to access the personal data held about you; to have it corrected; to have it deleted; to restrict its processing; to object to processing based on legitimate interest; and to receive data you provided in a portable, machine-readable format. To exercise any of these, write to hello@auricadvisory.com. You will receive a reply within one month.
You also have the right to complain to the Icelandic Data Protection Authority, Persónuvernd (personuvernd.is, postur@personuvernd.is), or to the supervisory authority where you live or work.
This website sets no cookies and contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code of any kind. The only thing it stores in your browser is your own work in the Job Evaluation Builder, kept there so you do not lose it, never read by anyone but you, and removable with one button. Storage of that kind is strictly necessary for a feature you choose to use, so there is nothing to consent to, and no banner asks you to.
This policy covers the website. When a client shares payroll or personnel data during an engagement, that data is governed by the engagement agreement, a written data processing agreement and the Service Delivery Policy, not by this page.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes will be stated plainly here.
Write directly. Every message is read personally.
