System-3 is developing an Executive Leadership ReadinessAssessment (ELRA), a unique, predictive, unbiased software as a service (SaaS)based simulation that assesses a person’s readiness for Executive-Suite leadership, irrespective of experience.

At System-3, we take privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information.

Personal information we collect  
Individuals completing the ELRA are referred to below as Prospects.As a Prospect, when taking the ELRA, your name, contact information and assessment responses are collected as well as metrics on how you used the ELRA.

Additional information such as employment and education history and professional credentials may be collected when requested by our clients.

At the end of the ELRA, you maybe be asked to participate in the voluntary Diversity Survey. Any response you provide in this section, will not have any impact on your Executive Leadership Readiness Assessment results.

System-3 may also collect publicly available business and career information about individuals participating in the ELRA (Public Data).

How we use personal information  
The data obtained through the ELRA will be analyzed by predictive models and machine learning algorithms developed by us to produce an unbiased, science-based assessment of a Prospect’s leadership readiness and competencies, in the form of a report with recommendations to be considered, along with other information, to support discussions about talent selection and development by the client who engages our services and, in cases where our client is an executive search firm, our client’s client, on whose behalf the talent search is being conducted.
‍
A report will also be provided to the Prospect on their ELRA results

The data obtained through the ELRA, as well as the Public Data, will also be used for internal research and analysis, product refinement, and testing to develop and to improve the ELRA and System-3’s products and services continually. With a Prospect’s consent, contact information may also be used for marketing.

The data obtained through the voluntary Diversity Survey at the end of the ELRA will help to understand the demographics that make up the talent pool in today’s recruitment and employment markets as well help find ways to minimize bias in the selection and development of talent in employment.

For additional detail see this chart.
