Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At SkillCompiler, we specialize in AI-driven technical assessments and interviews. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data for both candidates undergoing evaluations and companies administering them. Our platform processes sensitive information including code submissions, interview recordings, and performance analytics - all with strict confidentiality measures.

By using our services, you consent to: (a) the collection and processing of technical and behavioral data during assessments; (b) AI analysis of your coding patterns and interview responses; and (c) secure sharing of evaluation results with authorized parties.

2. Information We Collect

For Candidates:

• Assessment Data: Complete code history (including drafts), compilation logs, test case results, and runtime metrics
• Interview Data: Video/audio recordings, transcriptions, facial/keyboard analysis (where consented), and behavioral metrics
• Technical Profile: Programming language proficiency, problem-solving patterns, and skill benchmarks
• Authentication Data: OAuth tokens from GitHub/GitLab for repository analysis during take-home challenges

For Companies:

• Team Data: HRIS integrations, interviewer assignments, and role-specific evaluation criteria
• Assessment Configuration: Custom problem banks, scoring rubrics, and plagiarism detection settings
• Analytics Data: Candidate comparison metrics, pipeline conversion rates, and hiring bias detection

Automatically Collected:

• Code Analysis Metadata: Keystroke timing, IDE interaction patterns, and debugging behavior during live coding sessions
• System Environment: Browser console logs, screen resolution, and hardware capabilities during proctored assessments
• AI Training Data: Anonymized code patterns and interview responses used to improve our evaluation models

3. How We Use Your Information

AI Evaluation Processing:

• Real-time code quality analysis using static and dynamic analysis tools
• Behavioral pattern recognition during system design interviews
• Plagiarism detection across submitted solutions and public repositories
• Skill benchmarking against industry standards and role requirements

Platform Operations:

• Secure proctoring features including anomaly detection during assessments
• Automated feedback generation for candidates and detailed scorecards for hiring teams
• Integration with applicant tracking systems (ATS) and HR workflows
• Continuous improvement of our AI models through machine learning techniques

4. AI Processing Details

Our proprietary AI systems analyze technical and behavioral data through multiple layers:

• Code Analysis: AST parsing, style checking, complexity metrics, and vulnerability scanning
• Interview Analysis: Speech pattern recognition, technical concept extraction, and communication scoring
• Bias Mitigation: Anonymized evaluation pipelines and demographic-aware result calibration

All AI processing occurs in secure environments with strict access controls. While our systems make automated assessments, final hiring decisions always remain with human evaluators.

5. Payment Processing

We use Stripe for secure subscription billing with PCI-DSS compliant tokenization. Enterprise plans may involve invoice billing with Net-30 terms. Usage-based pricing triggers additional data collection for accurate metering of:

• Assessment minutes consumed
• AI analysis units utilized
• Candidate evaluation volume

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Candidates may request early deletion of their data unless required for compliance with hiring processes already in progress.

7. Security Measures

We implement enterprise-grade protections for our technical assessment platform:

• Code Isolation: All candidate submissions execute in ephemeral Docker containers with network restrictions
• Media Protection: Interview recordings encrypted at rest with AES-256 and strict access logging
• Proctoring Security: Browser lockdown modes and ambient monitoring during high-stakes assessments
• Compliance: Regular penetration testing and SOC 2 Type II audits

8. International Data Transfers

As a global assessment platform, we process data in multiple jurisdictions:

• Primary processing in US-East-1 (Virginia) AWS region
• EU data processed in Frankfurt region with GDPR-compliant safeguards
• APAC customers may opt for Singapore-based processing

We maintain Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for all cross-border data transfers and comply with local data protection regulations.

9. Your Rights

To exercise these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@skillcompiler.com. Verification procedures apply to prevent unauthorized access.

10. Changes to This Policy

We maintain version-controlled policy updates with change logs. Material changes affecting assessment data processing will trigger:

• 30-day advance notice for enterprise customers
• In-platform banners for active users
• Optional consent reaffirmation for significant changes
