Privacy statement

Who is responsible

Dr Attiq Ur Rehman, trading as Contagious Trust, of Auckland, New Zealand, is the agency responsible for the personal information described here. You can reach us at drattiq@contagioustrust.com.

What is collected, and when

When you register for an executive preview we collect your first name, your work email address and your organisation. We also record the exact wording of the consent you agreed to, the date and time you agreed to it, your IP address and your browser's user agent. That consent record exists so we can show precisely what you agreed to, which the Privacy Act requires us to be able to do.

If you complete the Judgement Risk Snapshot™ we store your ten answers and the result calculated from them, linked to your registration.

We do not collect payment details on this site, and we do not use tracking that identifies you across other websites.

Why it is collected

To register you for the session you asked to attend and send you the joining details. To send you the material you agreed to receive about the session and related work. To produce your Snapshot result. And to understand, in aggregate, how many people register and complete the Snapshot, which tells us whether the material is useful, not who you are.

Where it is stored, and who else sees it

Your details are written first to our own database, hosted in a managed PostgreSQL service, and then copied to GoHighLevel, the customer relationship system used to send the emails you have agreed to receive. GoHighLevel processes that information on our behalf and under our instructions.

No one else receives your information. We do not sell it, rent it, or share it with anyone for their own marketing.

How long it is kept

Registration details and Snapshot results are kept for twenty-four months after your last interaction with us, and then deleted. If you unsubscribe or ask to be removed, we act on that sooner; see below. The consent record itself is kept for as long as we hold your details, because it is the evidence of what you agreed to.

Your choices

Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops the marketing email immediately. If you have registered for a session you will still receive the joining details for that session unless you ask us not to.

Under the Privacy Act you may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete it. Email drattiq@contagioustrust.com and we will respond within twenty working days.

Cookies

Two cookies are set, both by this site rather than by anyone else. A cookie named ct_lead remembers that you completed the registration form, so the Judgement Risk Snapshot™ can be shown to you and your result recorded against your registration. A second, ct_entry, records whether you arrived through the site's home address or landed directly on a page; it contains no identifier and is used only to tell which of two landing pages produced a registration. Both last thirty days.

No advertising cookies are set, and no third-party tracking cookies are set. If that changes, this statement will be updated before the change takes effect and you will be asked to agree where the law requires it.

Keeping it secure

Information is encrypted in transit and at rest. Personal information is kept out of application logs. Access is limited to the people who need it to run the sessions and the systems behind them.

If a privacy breach occurs that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as the Privacy Act requires.

About the Snapshot result

The Judgement Risk Snapshot™ is a self-reported reflection tool. It is not a validated psychometric instrument, an audit, or a certification, and its output is an indicative signal intended to prompt reflection. Your individual answers are not shared with your employer or with anyone else in your organisation.

On the term cognitive surrender

Cognitive surrender was named by researchers at the Wharton School. We did not coin it. Our contribution is the measurement and the organisational application.

Trade marks, and what this session is not

Contagious Trust™, The Calibrated Leader™, the Judgement Boundary Ladder™ and the Autonomy Gap™ are trade marks of ARehman Lab Limited; applications pending.

This session references ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, the UK Data (Use and Access) Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and guidance from the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner. It is not endorsed, accredited or certified by any of those bodies, and nothing in it constitutes legal advice.
