Our Privacy-First Commitment
At Skill Deck, privacy is not an afterthought—it's built into the foundation of our platform. We've designed our entire system around the principle of data minimization, ensuring we collect only what's necessary and store it only as long as needed.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Name and email address
- Profile information you choose to provide
- Account preferences and settings
Assessment Data
During your use of our behavioral assessment platform, we collect:
- Your responses to assessment activities and role-play scenarios
- Behavioral patterns observed during interactions
- Assessment scores and evaluation results
- Historical progression data for development tracking
Evidence Submissions
When you submit evidence for evaluation, we collect:
- Evidence metadata (type, title, submission date)
- Temporarily cached content for AI processing
- Evaluation results and scoring derived from the evidence
2. Our Revolutionary Evidence Handling
Privacy Innovation
Unlike traditional platforms that store sensitive content permanently, Skill Deck implements a groundbreaking temporary caching system:
đź”’ Our Revolutionary Evidence Handling
- 5-minute maximum storage: Evidence content is cached only during AI processing
- Automatic deletion: Content expires and is permanently removed from our systems
- Zero long-term storage: No sensitive content remains in our databases
- Metadata retention: Only non-sensitive information like file type and evaluation results are kept
This approach dramatically reduces data liability while maintaining full functionality, ensuring your sensitive information doesn't linger in our systems.
3. Analytics and Website Data
Fathom Analytics - Privacy-First Analytics
We use Fathom Analytics instead of Google Analytics because we believe in protecting your privacy:
Fathom Analytics - Privacy-First Analytics
- No personal data collection: Fathom doesn't track personal information
- No cookies: Your browsing isn't tracked across websites
- GDPR compliant: Fully compliant without requiring consent banners
- Data ownership: We own our analytics data, not a third party
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to:
- Provide and improve our behavioral assessment services
- Generate personalized behavioral profiles and development insights
- Process evidence through our AI evaluation system
- Communicate with you about your account and assessments
- Ensure platform security and prevent fraud
- Comply with legal obligations
We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures:
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Regular security audits and updates
- Limited access controls and staff training
- Automatic content expiration for sensitive data
- Secure cloud infrastructure
6. Your Rights (GDPR/LGPD Compliance)
You have the right to:
- Access: Request copies of your personal data
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate personal data
- Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
- Portability: Receive your data in a structured format
- Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Restrict: Limit how we process your personal data
Note: Due to our privacy-first design, sensitive evidence content is automatically deleted within 5 minutes, meaning there's often nothing to erase beyond basic account information.
7. Data Retention
Our data retention approach prioritizes your privacy:
- Evidence Content: Maximum 5 minutes, then automatically deleted
- Assessment Results: Retained for your development tracking
- Account Information: Retained while your account is active
- Analytics Data: Anonymized usage patterns (no personal data)
8. International Data Transfers
We use secure cloud infrastructure with appropriate safeguards for international data transfers. All transfers comply with GDPR and LGPD requirements, including appropriate adequacy decisions or safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
