1. Types of Personal Information We Collect and Why

2. How Zee and Automated Processing Work

Zee is Talentz.ai's agentic AI. Zee and its capabilities (Zee Scout, Zee Engage, and Zee Lens) help employers and recruiters run hiring workflows and help candidates engage with those workflows. In providing our services, Zee may:

• Read and organize the personal information described in Section 1 (for example, resumes, assessment responses, interview recordings, and messages).
• Generate signals, scores, summaries, and recommendations intended to help employers assess fit, prioritize candidates, and manage hiring and engagement.
• Conduct conversational interactions with candidates and users (for example, screening conversations, scheduling, and follow-ups) and record transcripts of those interactions.
• Retrieve and combine information from connected sources and the third-party databases listed in Section 1.4 to enrich profiles.

The signals and recommendations Zee produces are intended to inform human judgment, not replace it. Employers who use our platform are responsible for their own hiring decisions and for using our tools in compliance with applicable law. Where Zee's outputs could have a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual, the protections in Section 3 apply.

3. Automated Decision-Making, Profiling, and Human Review

Some Zee features involve automated processing and profiling of personal information to generate insights about candidates.

• No solely-automated consequential decisions by us. Talentz.ai does not use Zee to make final hiring, rejection, or other legally or similarly significant decisions about you on a solely automated basis without a meaningful opportunity for human involvement. Final hiring decisions are made by the employer.
• Human review. If a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect is based on automated processing, you may request human review, express your point of view, and contest the outcome. Employers who use our platform are responsible for providing human oversight of decisions they make using our tools.
• Meaningful information. On request, we will provide meaningful information about the general logic involved in relevant automated processing and the categories of data used, to the extent we can do so without revealing trade secrets or the personal information of others.
• How to exercise these rights. Contact us at privacy@talentz.ai. Because employers are the decision-makers in most hiring contexts, we may direct certain requests to the relevant employer or work with them to respond.

4. Use of Personal Information for AI Model Training

We limit how personal information is used in developing and improving our AI.

• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third-party AI providers to train their general-purpose models.
• We may use de-identified or aggregateddata to develop, evaluate, and improve Zee's features, quality, and safety. De-identified data is stripped of information that reasonably identifies you, and we do not attempt to re-identify it.
• If we use identifiable candidate or customer content to train or fine-tune our own models beyond providing and improving the service you are using, we will do so only where permitted by our customer agreements and applicable law, and, where required, with appropriate notice or consent.
• Customer (employer) data is handled according to our customer agreements. Employers may have configuration options governing how their data is used; contact your administrator or us for details.

5. Consent

By using our website or platform, submitting forms, completing assessments, interacting with Zee, or engaging with hiring workflows, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described here. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at privacy@talentz.ai, though this may affect your ability to use our services. Where we rely on a legal basis other than consent (see Section 15), we will process personal information accordingly.

6. How We Share Personal Information

We may share your information with:

• Employers using our platform for hiring or internal mobility
• Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, assessment tools, and AI infrastructure and model providers that process data on our behalf under contract)
• Marketing partners (with consent)
• Legal authorities where required by law
• In business transfers (e.g., mergers, acquisitions)

AI infrastructure and model providers act as our processors/subprocessors: they process personal information only to provide services to us and under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

7. How to Access and Update Your Personal Information or Preferences

You can:

• Access and update your profile under your account settings
• Request deletion or export of your data by emailing privacy@talentz.ai
• Request human review of a qualifying automated decision (see Section 3)
• Opt out of communications via unsubscribe links or by contacting us

8. How We Protect Your Personal Information

We implement industry-standard security practices:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure cloud hosting (AWS or equivalent)
• Role-based access controls
• MFA support for user accounts
• Access controls and confidentiality obligations governing data processed by Zee and our AI subprocessors
• Activity logging and monitoring

Despite our best efforts, no system is completely secure.

9. Retention of Personal Information

• We retain personal and assessment data for up to 12 months after your last activity, unless a longer period is required by our customer agreements or applicable law.
• Zee interaction records (such as conversation transcripts and generated signals) are retained under the same schedule and are deleted or de-identified when the underlying record is deleted.
• Logs and backup copies may be kept briefly for audit, security, or legal reasons.
• Upon verified request, we will delete your data within 30 days unless otherwise required by law.

10. User Choices About Receiving Email

You may:

• Manage email preferences from your account
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in emails
• Continue to receive service-related communications (e.g., password resets, platform updates)

11. "Do Not Track" Signals

Our platform does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" settings due to a lack of consistent standards. Where required by law, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) for applicable purposes.

12. Privacy Protection for Children

Our services are not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us at privacy@talentz.ai.

13. Residents of California

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA):

• You have the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell your personal information).
• You have the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information and to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
• Where automated decision-making rules apply, you may have rights to access information about, and to opt out of, certain automated decision-making technology, subject to applicable regulations.
• To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@talentz.ai.

14. Automated Employment Decision Tools and U.S. State AI Laws

Because Talentz.ai serves hiring workflows, some laws specifically address automated tools used in employment and consequential decisions. Our approach:

• New York City Local Law 144 (Automated Employment Decision Tools). Where an employer uses a covered automated employment decision tool through our platform to screen candidates in NYC, applicable bias-audit, notice, and disclosure obligations generally fall on the employer. We support our customers' compliance by providing information about relevant tools and, where applicable, bias-audit cooperation.
• Illinois (Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act) and similar state laws. Where video interview analysis is used, employers are responsible for providing required notices and obtaining consent; our tools are designed to support these obligations.
• Colorado AI Act and other emerging U.S. state AI laws. For "high-risk" AI systems used in consequential decisions such as employment, we work to provide documentation and reasonable measures to help developers and deployers meet transparency and risk-management obligations as these laws take effect.

These laws are evolving. Nothing in this section constitutes legal advice, and employers remain responsible for their own compliance when using our platform.

15. Residents of the EEA and UK

If you are located in the EEA or UK:

• We comply with the GDPR / UK GDPR for all applicable data processing.
• You have rights to access, rectify, restrict, erase, object to processing, and data portability, and rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling under Article 22 (see Section 3).
• Our legal bases for processing include performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as operating and improving our services and, where balanced against your rights, generating hiring signals), consent, and compliance with legal obligations.
• You may withdraw consent and file complaints with your local Data Protection Authority.

16. International Data Transfers

• Data may be processed in the U.S. and other countries where we or our service providers (including AI infrastructure and model providers) operate.
• We rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect transferred data.

17. How We Make Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, including as Zee's capabilities and applicable laws evolve. We will notify you of significant changes via email or within the platform. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes agreement.
