How we handle your data.
Plain-language disclosure of what the Institute collects, why, and the rights you retain. Last updated May 2026.
Who we are
The Progressive Intelligence Institute ('Institute,' 'we,' 'us') is the authority body for the Progressive Intelligence™ framework and the ProQ™ measurement system. This Privacy Policy applies to this website and to publications, assessments, and resources distributed under the Institute's name.
Sister properties — ProQ Assessment, ProQ Systems, and ProQ Academy — operate under their own privacy notices. When data moves between properties, we disclose the transfer and the purpose.
What we collect
Contact information you provide directly (name, email, organization, role) when you subscribe to publications, submit the contact form, or request a partnership conversation.
Assessment metadata when you opt in to research-grade studies. Individual ProQ™ scores are never published with identifying information.
Standard technical data (IP address, device, browser, referring page) collected through privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic and improve content.
How we use it
To respond to inquiries, deliver requested resources, and operate the Institute's research and editorial programs.
To improve the framework through anonymized, aggregated analysis of how leaders and organizations engage with our work.
To send publications and program updates only when you have explicitly subscribed. Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe.
What we do not do
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.
We do not run third-party ad networks against your data.
We do not publish identifying assessment results without explicit, written consent.
Storage & retention
Data is stored on encrypted infrastructure with access limited to authorized Institute personnel and contracted operators bound by confidentiality obligations.
We retain information only as long as needed to deliver the service you requested, meet legal obligations, or conduct longitudinal research you have opted in to.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. We respond within 30 days.
If you are in the EU, UK, California, or another jurisdiction with statutory data rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA), those rights apply to your data regardless of where the Institute is operating.
Cookies
We use a minimal set of first-party cookies for session continuity and analytics. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser without losing access to public content.
Changes to this policy
We will post material updates to this page and revise the 'Last updated' date below. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Questions, access requests, or deletion requests: use the contact form or email privacy@progressiveintelligence.org.
