Privacy Policy

1. Overview

At verdict, we respect your privacy and the intellectual nature of your talent evaluation data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our platform at verdict.cx.

2. Information We Collect

• Account Data: We collect your name and email address via Google Authentication to manage your access.
• Workspace Data: We store the configuration of your evaluations, including custom Dimensions and candidate instructions.
• Submitted Content: We collect and process the candidate submissions, memos, prompts, notes, evaluation criteria, uploaded text, and other content that you or your candidates submit to the Service.
• Usage and Device Data: We may collect information about how you use the Service, including pages viewed, clicks, session activity, browser type, device information, referral pages, approximate location derived from IP address, and performance or error information.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics SDKs, session replay tools, and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember preferences, measure usage, understand product behavior, and improve the user experience.
• Payment Information: All payment data is handled securely by DodoPayments. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.

3. How We Use Information

We use your data to:

• Provide the signal extraction and ranking service.
• Analyze submitted content, including candidate memos and evaluation materials, to generate rankings, summaries, comparisons, scores, and other product outputs.
• Maintain, debug, evaluate, and improve our proprietary ranking systems, prompts, workflows, and product experience.
• Send essential service communications (e.g., checkout success, candidate updates).
• Analyze platform usage to optimize design, reliability, onboarding, conversion, and performance.
• Detect abuse, protect accounts, enforce our Terms, and keep the Service secure.

4. Data Sharing & AI Processing

To provide our analysis, Verdict may process submitted content using large language model providers and other infrastructure vendors. This may include sending candidate submissions, evaluation criteria, prompts, workspace context, and related metadata to providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, or similar service providers.

These providers process data on our behalf to help deliver the Service, including extraction, scoring, summarization, comparison, ranking, debugging, safety checks, and quality improvement. We do not sell your personal information or submitted content to third parties.

We may analyze submitted content internally to improve Verdict, including our prompts, evaluation rubrics, product workflows, quality controls, and ranking methods. Where practical, we use aggregation, minimization, or de-identification for improvement work.

5. Analytics, Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies and similar technologies to provide authentication, security, account access, workspace functionality, and user preferences.

We may also use analytics and product improvement tools, including services such as PostHog, Vercel Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, or similar providers. These tools may help us understand traffic, page usage, product flows, feature adoption, errors, performance, and session behavior. Depending on your location and our configuration, we may ask for consent before using non-essential analytics cookies or tracking technologies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we provide a cookie or privacy preference tool, you can use it to update your choices.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Your data is stored using Convex's secure cloud infrastructure with encrypted data at rest and in transit.

No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information using reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain account data, workspace data, submitted content, usage data, and generated outputs for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and improve Verdict. You may request deletion of your account or workspace data by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, object to, or restrict certain processing of your personal information. You can request a full export of your workspace data or the permanent deletion of candidate memos by contacting us.

9. Candidate and Third-Party Data

If you submit information about candidates, employees, applicants, customers, or other third parties, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights, notices, and permissions to provide that information to Verdict for processing under this Privacy Policy.
