Summary: PartnerScope is a EU-based service. We collect only the data necessary to provide the assessment service. Your assessment data and reports are private — only visible to you. We do not sell your data. You have full rights over your data under GDPR.

2.2 Assessment Data
When you run an assessment, we collect:

- Your answers to the 39 assessment questions (numerical ratings 1–5)
