Using CODIAC

Terms of use

These terms apply to people and organisations using the Core Of Development Interactive Assessment Center. Separate customer agreements may add to these terms.

Last updated 11 November 2026

1. The service

CODIAC provides questionnaires, assessments, invitations, progress tracking, confidential answer collection, aggregated results, comparisons, and reports for organisations and their invited participants.

Core Of Development provides the service to customer organisations and their authorised users. The customer is responsible for choosing assessments, explaining their purpose to participants, and deciding how its results may be used.

2. Accounts and authorised access

  • Use only an account and customer areas you are authorised to access.
  • Provide accurate account details and keep passwords, one-time codes, and emailed access links private.
  • Tell your administrator or Core Of Development contact if you suspect unauthorised access.
  • Customer administrators must give roles only to appropriate people and remove access when it is no longer needed.

You are responsible for activity performed through your account until you report compromised access.

3. Invitations and participant administration

Customers must have an appropriate reason to invite participants and must provide any information required by the rules that apply to their assessment. They must not use CODIAC to send unsolicited, misleading, or unlawful messages.

Customer administrators can see participant email addresses, department or team labels, invitation and reminder activity, and completion status. These details must be used only for legitimate assessment administration.

4. Confidential answers and group results

Individual answers are confidential within CODIAC. Other respondents and customer administrators cannot view them in the service. Aggregated results become available only after at least three completed responses.

Customers and users must not try to identify another person's answers, combine reports to infer an individual rating, or misuse answer ranges, small groups, completion information, or self-comparison screens. Respondents must keep their own private comparison and sign-in session secure.

Reports and comparisons contain group information only. The three-person minimum reduces identification risk but does not replace a customer's responsibility to use results fairly and carefully.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Access or attempt to access another customer's information or another person's answers.
  • Disrupt, overload, probe, or bypass the security or confidentiality controls of the service.
  • Upload malicious code, unlawful content, or information you have no right to use.
  • Use automated scraping or copying that interferes with the service or other users.
  • Misrepresent results, alter reports to mislead others, or use CODIAC for unlawful discrimination or harassment.

6. Questionnaires, content, and reports

Customers are responsible for the questionnaires, logos, text, participant details, and other material they add. They must have the rights and permissions needed to use that material and must not include unnecessary sensitive information in free-text fields.

Customers retain responsibility for their content and downloaded reports. Core Of Development may process that material only as needed to provide, secure, support, and improve CODIAC or as required by law.

7. Using assessment results

Assessment results describe group perceptions at a particular time. They are not professional, medical, psychological, legal, or employment advice and should not be the sole basis for decisions about an individual.

Customers are responsible for interpreting results in context, checking that reports are shared only with appropriate recipients, and protecting downloaded copies.

8. Availability, changes, and support

We may maintain, update, suspend, or change parts of CODIAC to improve security, add features, or support customers. We aim to keep the service available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Customers should keep appropriate copies of important reports and contact their usual Core Of Development contact when they need support or believe information is inaccurate.

9. Archiving, suspension, and retention

Archiving a round or customer closes affected rounds, stops reminders, and removes the content from active lists. Restoring does not reopen rounds, and archiving does not delete completed responses.

Access may be suspended or removed to protect the service, other customers, or respondents, or when an account is no longer authorised. Assessment information is retained as described in our privacy notice and any applicable customer arrangement.

10. Responsibility and applicable law

Each party remains responsible for its own decisions, content, and use of CODIAC. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot legally be excluded. Any limits or additional commitments in a signed customer agreement take precedence for that customer.

Organisations are responsible for checking the employment, privacy, records, and other rules that apply where they and their respondents are located.

11. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the service develops. The latest version and update date will appear here. Questions can be raised with your usual Core Of Development contact or the administrator who gave you access.
