Privacy Policy

How CPASS collects, uses, and protects your Career Passport data.

Effective June 16, 2025 · Last updated June 16, 2025

CPASS.ai builds verified-skills infrastructure for workers. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to the worker portal, public Career Passport pages, and related services. See also our Terms of Service.

01

Overview

We process data to help you create and share a credible Career Passport, compute trust signals, and keep the platform secure. We design for privacy-aware display: public passports omit email, phone, and internal account identifiers.

CPASS acts as the data controller for worker accounts unless we tell you otherwise in a separate agreement.

02

Data We Collect

The data we collect depends on how you use CPASS. Categories include:

  • Account data — name, email address, authentication identifiers, and preferences.
  • Evidence you submit — work narratives, CV uploads, assessment responses, and confirmations or rejections of proposed skills.
  • Derived data — AI-mapped skills, ESCO mappings, trust scores, tiers, and passport visibility settings.
  • Usage data — device type, browser, approximate location from IP, pages viewed, and diagnostic logs.
  • Communications — support messages and product notifications you receive or send to us.
03

How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to operate and improve CPASS, including:

  • Creating and authenticating your account.
  • Extracting, mapping, and presenting skills you choose to confirm.
  • Calculating trust scores and tiers with transparent sourcing.
  • Rendering public passport pages according to your sharing settings.
  • Preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Sending service messages and, where permitted, product updates.
04

Skills & Passport Data

Skills appear on your passport only after you confirm them. Rejected proposals are not published as confirmed skills.

Public passport URLs are designed for employers and recruiters you share them with. They intentionally exclude direct contact details; viewers contact you through channels you provide outside CPASS.

You can adjust what appears on your passport where product controls allow. Some account metadata remains private even when a passport is public.

05

Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as needed to run CPASS:

  • Infrastructure providers — hosting, authentication, analytics, and email delivery under contractual safeguards.
  • Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of users and CPASS.
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to continued protection.
  • With your direction — when you share a passport link or connect integrations you enable.
06

Data Retention

We retain account and passport data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with law, resolve disputes, and maintain security logs.

You may request deletion of your account subject to legal retention obligations. Some anonymized or aggregated data may remain for analytics and product improvement.

07

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing.

To exercise these rights, contact privacy@cpass.ai. We will verify your request and respond within applicable timelines. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

08

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of Career Passport data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring.

No online service is perfectly secure. Report suspected vulnerabilities to security@cpass.ai.

09

International Transfers

CPASS may process data in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms for cross-border transfers.
