Privacy Policy

Human Intelligence (the "platform") is operated by C1X Adtech Pvt Ltd ("C1X", "we", "us"), a company with its principal place of business at 1883 Agnew Road, #425, Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA. For the purposes of data protection law, C1X is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

Our audience is global. We work with engineers worldwide and support hiring in Japan and the United States, so this policy addresses the EEA and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

We collect the following categories of personal data.

• Account data: name, email address, phone number, password credentials, and the role you sign up under (candidate, hirer, vendor, or institution).
• Profile data: work history, education, skills, location and work-authorization preferences, languages, links to public coding profiles, and anything else you choose to add.
• Resume and application data: resumes and documents you upload, applications you submit, and messages exchanged with hirers, vendors, or institutions.
• Assessment data: results and responses from skills assessments and evaluations you take on the platform.
• Usage and device data: log data, IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, and similar analytics collected through cookies and comparable technologies.

We use personal data to:

• create and manage your account and authenticate you;
• build your profile, match you with relevant roles, and present your profile to hirers, vendors, or institutions where appropriate;
• run assessments and surface results to you and to parties you choose to share them with;
• operate, secure, debug, and improve the platform, including analytics and fraud prevention;
• communicate with you about your account, applications, and service updates; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

If you are in the EEA or the UK, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

• Contract: to provide the platform and the features you ask for, such as your account, applications, and assessments.
• Consent: for non-essential cookies, certain marketing, and any sharing of your profile that requires your agreement. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: to secure and improve the platform, prevent fraud, and understand how it is used, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligation: where we must process data to meet a legal requirement.

We share personal data with:

• Hirers when you apply to a role or make your profile discoverable for opportunities;
• Vendors and institutions who place, sponsor, or represent you, where that relationship exists;
• Service providers and sub-processors who host, analyze, secure, or support the platform under contract, and who may only process data on our instructions; and
• Authorities or acquirers where required by law or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

We do not sell your personal data. See the California section below for what that means under CCPA/CPRA.

We operate globally, so your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data out of the EEA, the UK, or other regions with transfer restrictions, we use appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with additional measures where needed.

We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, accounting, and dispute resolution needs. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it. Retention periods vary by data type and the purpose for which it was collected.

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your data and to respond promptly to any incident.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. EEA and UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority. To exercise any right, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We will respond within the time limits set by applicable law.

If you are a data principal under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you have the right to access a summary of your personal data and how it is processed, to seek correction and erasure, to nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity, and to a readily available grievance redressal mechanism. You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the details below.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it, to request access to and deletion of that information, to correct inaccurate information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

C1X does not sell your personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. You may submit a request using the contact details below, and you may use an authorized agent where permitted by law.

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, analytics, and preferences. For details on each category and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.

The platform is intended for people aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform. Please review this page periodically.
