Privacy Policy

In order to complete the HBDI^® Survey Form, the respondent must supply some personal information such as: name, telephone number, address, and preferences among various thinking style descriptors. Herrmann International uses this information to calculate the HBDI^® Profile. Some additional demographic and research information is optional and is noted as such on the form.

The data resulting from the 120 questions on the HBDI^® are used to create a “profile” transparency page, “data summary sheet”, “narrative description” and “mini profile” page, all of which are printed and packaged in a sealed, confidential packet. These packets are provided to the certified HBDI^® facilitator for distribution to the respondent or sent directly to the respondent.

HBDI^® information is collected and calculated in a database secured behind a firewall and is accessible only to designated employees of Herrmann International who are under contract to maintain its confidentiality. In those situations where the HBDI^® is completed under the auspices of a third-party certified, licensed HBDI^® practitioner, that practitioner also has access to this information. The use and confidentiality of HBDI^® data by the practitioner is governed by the Herrmann International Licensing Agreement.
