Privacy Statements

There are four main groups that are asked to provide information by the SigmaTesting.Com site: people taking the site for a test drive, people taking a test using the site, assessment account holders, and affiliate account holders. The following four privacy statements detail our committment to protecting the privacy of each of these groups.

1. Privacy Statement for Test Drive Users

SigmaTesting.Com, owned and operated by SIGMA Assessment Systems, Inc. (SIGMA), is a web site dedicated to providing online testing services for qualified customers. To help prospective customers evaluate our online testing system, SIGMA provides a sample test, free of charge.

Complete reports are only sent to those prospective customers providing a valid email address. All information gathered as part of this sample test is protected by advanced security measures.

This sample test is provided for evaluation purposes only. SIGMA makes no claims or warranties regarding the usefulness or appropriateness of this test, and disclaims all responsibility or liability for its use.

By taking this test and providing information, you are indicating an interest in SigmaTesting.Com and SIGMA’s products. SIGMA reserves the right to use any information you provide to contact you or send you promotional material from time to time.

SIGMA also reserves the right to use your test responses, and any non-identifying information such as gender and age, as part of our ongoing research and test development processes. Data used in this fashion will be stripped of any identifying information and will not be linked to you in any way.

SIGMA will only use any information you provide for internal purposes, and will not share your test responses or any other part of the information you provide with any third party.
