PreCognise

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

PreCognise ("we", "us", "our") operates a professional credentialing and profile platform (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use the Service.

This document is a plain-language summary. It is not legal advice. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who We Are

PreCognise provides a platform where individuals can build a verified professional profile, apply to jobs, receive AI-assisted career coaching, and communicate with recruiters and institutions.

For any privacy-related questions, contact: towfiq@veita.ai.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide directly

  • Account & authentication: email address, password (stored only as a hash), OAuth provider identifiers, profile photo.
  • Identity & basic profile: first name, last name, date of birth, nationality, profile photo(s).
  • Professional profile: job title, current company, location, biography ("about"), skills and self-assessed skill confidence, psychometric self-assessment scores (leadership, teamwork, adaptability, problem solving, communication, resilience, initiative), life goals, video resume URL.
  • Contact details: phone number, address (line 1, line 2, city, state, country, postal code).
  • Social links: LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter/X, and portfolio URLs.
  • Employment history: company name, job title, dates, description, location, linked institution, verification status.
  • Education: institution, degree, field of study, dates, country/state/city, student ID (if provided), verification status.
  • Job applications: cover letters, form answers, resume versions, and a snapshot of the job listing you applied to.
  • Messages: direct messages you send to other users, and messages you exchange with our AI career coach.
  • Institution data (if you create or manage one): organization name, type, description, logo, website, and membership info.

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • Session & device data: session tokens, authentication state, IP address, browser/user-agent (as part of standard server logs).
  • Usage records: for AI-powered features, we record which operation was run (e.g. coach_chat, resume_parse, recruiter_suggestions), the model used, token counts, and estimated cost.

2.3 Derived data

  • Semantic embeddings: we generate vector representations of your profile (and of job postings) to power search and matching. These embeddings are derived from data you have already provided.
  • Match scores and gap analyses produced when you view or apply to jobs.

2.4 Third-party job data

We ingest public job postings from third-party ATS providers (currently Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby). This data is about employers, not about you.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Create and maintain your account and verify your identity.
  • Display your profile to other users where appropriate (e.g. recruiters, institutions you have connected with).
  • Match you to relevant job postings using semantic search.
  • Allow you to apply to jobs, including auto-filling application forms and submitting them to third-party ATS systems on your behalf.
  • Power the AI career coach and recruiter-assistance features.
  • Enable direct messaging between users.
  • Verify employment and education claims with the relevant institution.
  • Monitor usage, enforce limits, estimate cost, and prevent abuse.
  • Communicate with you about the Service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK Users)

Where applicable, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR:

  • Contract: to provide the Service you signed up for.
  • Legitimate interests: to secure the Service, prevent fraud, and improve the product.
  • Consent: for optional features such as submitting applications on your behalf or sharing your profile with recruiters.
  • Legal obligation: where we are required to retain records.

You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your profile or closing your account.

5. How We Share Information

We share information only as described below:

  • With other users: your profile is visible to signed-in users such as recruiters and institutions according to the visibility settings of the Service. Direct messages are visible to the recipient.
  • With institutions: when you claim employment or education at a verified institution, the institution may confirm or decline the claim.
  • With AI model providers: prompts and content (e.g. coach messages, resume text) are sent to third-party LLM providers (such as OpenAI) to generate responses and embeddings.
  • With ATS providers: when you approve a job application, we submit it to the relevant ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby).
  • With infrastructure providers: hosting, database, email, and analytics providers who process data on our behalf under contract (e.g. Vercel, Supabase).
  • For legal reasons: if required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
  • In a business transfer: if PreCognise is acquired or merged, your information may transfer to the successor entity.

6. AI Features

When you use AI features (career coach, recruiter search, resume generation, gap analysis), your profile data and messages are sent to a third-party LLM provider for processing. We do not use your data to train foundation models. Model providers process data under their own privacy terms.

7. Data Retention

  • We retain profile and activity data for as long as your account is active.
  • Coach messages, job applications, and usage records are retained to provide history and enforce limits.
  • When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate data (most fields are editable directly in your profile).
  • Delete your account and associated data.
  • Export your data in a portable format.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email towfiq@veita.ai.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including password hashing, encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and session expiration. No system is perfectly secure; you use the Service at your own risk.

10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

11. Children

The Service is not intended for individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email.
