Categories of personally identifiable data may include: name, date of birth, marital status, contact information (address, telephone, email), nationality, education/career information, information derived by professional aids and tools (a.o. assessments, 360°, motivation compass) and evaluation data and scores.

If you do not wish to disclose your personally identifiable data, 4C will be unable to provide you with the services it offers, since this personal information is necessary in order to provide professional counseling.

We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, 4C accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the point where you choose to disclose.
