How EAG handles what it is told.

A firm that assesses credibility has to be legible about its own. This page states what EAG collects, who sees it, how long it is kept, what EAG will not do, and where the boundary of the assessment sits.

01Confidentiality is the default, not an add-on

Every engagement is conducted under a mutual non-disclosure agreement. EAG will execute a client's own NDA or provide one. The existence of an engagement, the identity of the subject, the concern that prompted it, and the contents of the brief are treated as confidential without a separate request.

Engagements are conducted personally by EAG's founder. There is no analyst bench, no offshore transcription pool, and no subcontracted interviewer. Where a third-party processor is used, it is named in section 04.

02What EAG collects

• Interview material — audio or video of the structured interview, or a transcript where recording is declined.
• Role context — the appointment under consideration, the decision timeline, the stage of the search, and the concern the client has articulated.
• Candidate-provided information — what the subject says in the interview, and documents the subject chooses to provide.
• Publicly available professional information where it is directly relevant to the appointment.

EAG does not collect credit history, criminal history, credit reports, medical information, or consumer reports, and does not request candidate financial records.

03The candidate's position

The subject of an assessment is told, before the interview begins, that this is a professional diligence assessment conducted for the prospective employer, that it is behavioral and role-relevant in scope, and that a written brief will be provided to the decision-maker. Participation is voluntary. Recording is disclosed and consented to, or it does not happen.

EAG does not conduct assessments covertly, does not use pretext or assumed identity, does not surveil, and does not interview a subject's colleagues or references without the client's written instruction and a lawful basis for doing so.

04How material is handled and stored

Interview material is transmitted and stored encrypted, held in access-controlled object storage, and processed inside Sentinel — EAG's own system of record. Access is limited to the consultant conducting the engagement. Client and candidate material is never used to market to other clients and is never sold or licensed.

No processor is authorized to use engagement material for its own purposes, and engagement material is not contributed to third-party model training.

05Retention and destruction

• Interview recordings are retained for twelve months after delivery of the brief, then destroyed.
• Transcripts, structured observations, and the delivered brief are retained for twenty-four months, so that a decision can be reconstructed if it is later questioned.
• A client may direct earlier destruction of any or all engagement material in writing, and EAG will confirm destruction in writing.
• Inquiry-form submissions from this website are retained for twelve months and are not added to a marketing list.

06What the assessment is — and is not

The assessment is an advisory professional opinion about behavior and credibility as observed in a structured interview. It is not a consumer report, and EAG is not a consumer reporting agency within the meaning of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is not a psychological or clinical instrument, not a polygraph or any other deception-detection device, and not a pass/fail screen.

Dimensional scores produced in Sentinel are analyst-reviewed inputs to a human decision. No candidate is screened out, ranked, or selected by automated means as part of an EAG engagement.

07The client's own obligations

Employment decisions remain the client's. EAG's brief is one input among several, and clients are responsible for their own compliance with employment, equal-opportunity, data-protection, and automated-decision law in the jurisdictions where they hire — including, where applicable, New York City Local Law 144, Illinois and Maryland interview-recording and biometric statutes, state consumer-privacy law, and the EU AI Act. EAG will support a client's counsel or compliance function with a written description of the methodology, the processors used, and the assessment's stated limits.

08Adverse information

Where an assessment surfaces a material concern, it is stated in the brief with the observed evidence and the confidence attached to it, in the client's hands, in writing. EAG does not communicate findings to the candidate, does not act as an intermediary in an adverse decision, and does not maintain a shared database of assessed individuals across clients.

09Legal entity and contact

Executive Analysis Group LLC is a Connecticut limited liability company with its principal place of business in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, and is engaged by clients throughout the United States. Structured interviews are conducted remotely over secure video by default, and in person where the appointment warrants it. Engagement material is stored and processed in the United States. Confidentiality, data-handling, and compliance questions — including procurement or counsel review before an engagement — can be directed to ryan.goulette@executiveanalysisgroup.com.
