In addition to providing anonymised insights to individual client organisations, Wotter may use anonymised and aggregated data across multiple organisations to improve the platform, develop benchmarking insights, and enhance analytical models. This data does not identify individual employees or organisations.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Employee Survey Data

  • Article 6(1)(a) – Consent
  • Article 9(2)(a) – Explicit Consent (for special category data)

Participation in Wotter surveys is voluntary. Employees may withdraw consent at any time through the platform or by contacting support@wotter.group. Where consent is withdrawn, identifiable personal data will be deleted within 72 hours, unless retention is required by law.

Website Analytics

  • Article 6(1)(f) – Legitimate Interests (to improve website performance, security, and usability)

Where required, website tracking tools are activated only after appropriate consent has been provided.

5. Data Sharing

We may share data:

  • With client organisations in anonymised and aggregated form only
  • With service providers under contractual safeguards
  • Where required by law or to protect legal rights

We do not sell personal data.

6. Hosting and International Transfers

Wotter’s production systems are hosted within EU-based Google Cloud infrastructure. Where third-party providers process data outside the UK or EU, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are used in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. Microsoft Clarity (Website Analytics Only)

We use Microsoft Clarity on our public website to understand how visitors interact with our pages. This helps improve usability, performance, and security. Clarity collects information such as clicks, scrolling behaviour, and general interaction patterns. We configure Clarity to mask or exclude personally identifiable information wherever possible.

Clarity is not used within the Wotter employee platform or admin dashboard.

For users in the UK and EU, Clarity tracking is enabled only where appropriate consent has been provided through our cookie controls. Microsoft may process Clarity data outside the UK or EU. Where this occurs, appropriate legal safeguards are used.

8. Data Retention

Identifiable employee data is retained for up to 12 months following an employee’s departure, unless deletion is requested earlier. Where consent is withdrawn, identifiable data will be securely deleted within 72 hours.

Anonymised and aggregated data may be retained for analytical and research purposes.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Request erasure
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing
  • Request data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk

10. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and internal monitoring procedures.
