What we collect
When you use Adam, we collect the information you share in conversation: your career background, skills, goals, and working preferences. If you choose to complete the optional work-style evaluation, we also collect a personality profile based on that conversation.
Personality data: your choice
The personality evaluation is entirely optional. Before it begins, you will be asked for your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time. If you do not consent, your profile is matched on skills, goals, and preferences only.
Personality data is used only to improve the quality of introductions made on your behalf. It is never used to automatically reject you from a role. Final decisions always remain with the recruiter.
What employers see
Employers receive a directional personality insight, not a score, not a verdict. The report is clearly labelled as self-reported and candidate-consented, and includes a disclaimer that it should be used alongside, not instead of, interview and assessment. Employers cannot filter or reject candidates based on personality alone.
Protected characteristics
We never ask about, infer from, or store any protected characteristic: age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, or any other attribute protected under the Equality Act 2010. Our AI system is designed to surface work preferences only.
Who processes your data
We use a small number of service providers to run the platform. Each handles your data only to provide its service to us: Supabase (database and sign-in, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany), Vercel (website hosting), Anthropic (the AI that powers the conversation and matching; conversation text is sent to it to produce replies), Resend (sending email) and, if an employer connects it, Slack (notifications to that employer).
Some of these providers may process data outside the UK and EEA. Where they do, it is under the standard contractual safeguards that apply to them.
How long we keep it
Your profile and activity are kept while your account is open. Candidate profiles that we source from public information ourselves are removed after 12 months at most. Introduction requests you do not answer lapse. If you delete your account, everything is removed at once, apart from a record of any introduction already made to a company, which is kept for the protection period and the fee terms without your name or email. Backups are overwritten on the provider's normal schedule.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account yourself at any time from your profile page (Delete my account). It removes your profile, conversations, applications, preferences and the scores employers hold about you. You can also ask us to do it by contacting us.
Your rights
If you are based in the UK or EU, you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You also have the right to object to processing and to withdraw consent at any time without detriment.
