This covers two things: the website at 5spheresofempathy.com, and the platform at app.5spheresofempathy.com where drill and workshop results are read back.

They are run by Galeno Chua, trading as The 5 Spheres of Empathy, in Warsaw, Poland. For anything in here, write to hello@5spheresofempathy.com.

Reading this site

There is no analytics on this website. No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no pixel, no session recorder. Nobody is counting your visit and there is no profile of you being built from the pages you read.

Two things do reach other companies when you use the site:

Videos. Embedded videos are served from youtube-nocookie.com, which is YouTube's reduced-tracking version. It does not set tracking cookies until you press play. Thumbnail images load from Google's image servers when the page opens, which means Google can see your IP address.
Forms. Sign-up forms are run by MailerLite, so what you type into one goes to them.

Joining a mailing list or asking for something

Your name and email address, and whatever else that particular form asks for. These are held by MailerLite and used to send you what you asked for. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and it works.

The Sensing Quad

This is self-scored. You are the only person who fills it in about yourself. It records:

Your name and email address, and which session you were in
Your four Sensing Quad scores and your three state scores
Which dimension you chose to focus on
Anything you wrote in the three note fields and the intention field
How likely you said you were to recommend the session, and anything you wrote to explain it
A short testimonial, if you offered one
Whether you asked to be emailed your results
A secret your browser makes and keeps on your device, stored here only as a hash. It is what lets you read your own numbers back and nobody else's.

The Public Speaking Drill

This one is different, and the difference matters. Other people in the room score you and write about you. That is the point of the exercise, and it is worth being clear about what it means for your record.

Stored about you as a speaker:

Your email address and the name you typed in
The point you wrote down that you were trying to land
Your own scores, recorded twice, before you spoke and after
Everything each person in the room scored you on
What each of them wrote down as the point they heard
What each of them wrote as the one thing to change

Stored about you as a scorer: the cards you filled in about other people, with your email address and the name you typed attached.

What you write about somebody else is shown to them

Their sheet carries what the room wrote, so assume your words will be read by the person they are about. They are not shown anonymously by accident and they are not hidden either. Write accordingly.

An account on the platform

Signing in is handled by Clerk, who hold your email address, your name and your password. If you sign in with Google instead, Google tells us your email address and basic profile details, which is all we ask them for. Your Google password is never seen by us or by Clerk.

The platform's own database holds:

What	Why
Your name, email, company and job title	So a session has people in it rather than codes
Which cohorts and sessions you were in	To show you your own history
Your drill and quad records	Brought across from the session tools above
Figures worked out from them	Your readings over time. These are recalculated from the records and are never the only copy of anything

Three things that are not done with it

Your own scores about yourself stay yours. What you scored yourself is shown to you. It does not go into anything sent to your employer, a programme organiser or anybody else.
Small groups are not reported on. Where an organisation is shown figures about its own people, anything covering fewer than five people is withheld. Below that an average is close enough to naming the individuals in it.
Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for advertising. There is no advertising on this site and no data goes to an ad network.

Who else holds it

Who	What they hold
Netlify	The website, and the drill and quad records as they are collected
Railway	The platform and its database
Clerk	Sign-in details
Google	Your email and basic profile, only if you choose to sign in with Google. Also video thumbnails and embedded video
MailerLite	Mailing list details, and email that is sent to you

These companies are in the United States and the European Union, so your details are stored in both.

How long it is kept

Session records are kept so that you can look back at them, which is the main reason anybody wants them. They are not deleted on a timetable. If you want yours gone, ask and it goes.

Asking to see it, correct it, or have it deleted

Write to hello@5spheresofempathy.com and say which you want. You can ask for a copy of what is held about you, for something wrong to be fixed, or for it to be erased. No reason is needed.

There is one limit worth stating. In the Public Speaking Drill, the cards you wrote about other people are part of their record of their own session. Removing you removes your name and address from them. The scores and comments themselves stay on the sheet of the person they were written about, because taking them away would change their reading of a morning that actually happened.

Changes

If this changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and anyone with an account is told.
