Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 26, 2026

At Beyond-ED, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform as a talent or a corporate partner.

1. Information We Collect

Profile & Professional Data: CVs, work history, contact details, and career preferences.

Assessment Data: Responses, metrics, and insights derived from our 8-dimension talent evaluation framework.

Profile Photo: If you choose to add one, a photo that appears on your profile.

Technical Data: Browser type, IP address, and usage data to improve platform performance.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide talent matching and recruitment services, maintain and improve talent profiles, support our evidence-based recruitment processes, and develop and improve the Beyond platform and services.

Beyond may use automated and AI-assisted tools to analyze profile information, assess alignment with specific roles, identify relevant evidence, and support candidate matching and ranking. These tools are intended to support our recruitment process and do not replace human judgment.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share relevant information with hiring companies, clients, and service providers where necessary to provide our services or operate the platform.

3. Your CV

When you upload a CV, we read it to suggest details for your profile, such as your job title, skills, experience, education and languages. You review every suggestion, and nothing is added to your profile until you confirm it.

If your CV opens with an introduction (a summary or profile paragraph), we suggest it as the “About you” text on your profile. It is optional, you can edit or remove it at any time, and it is not used in matching. If you remove it, we don’t suggest it again.

To read some CVs, we send the CV, or text taken from it, to a third-party AI service that works on our behalf. It is used only to read your CV, and never to translate it.

We can currently read only CVs written in English. A CV in another language is not added to your profile, and any CV you uploaded before stays in place.

We keep a copy of every CV uploaded to Beyond, including ones that were later replaced and ones we could not use, so our talent team can review them. A registered candidate’s copies are deleted with their account. A CV uploaded without an account that we could not use is deleted after one month.

4. Your Introduction

To apply for a role through Beyond, you’ll need to add a short introduction: either a voice recording of up to two minutes, or a link to a video of yourself hosted elsewhere.

A recruiter listens to or watches it to get to know you and how you talk about your work. It is never scored, and it is not used in matching.

Your introduction is seen only by the Beyond team and the companies you apply to. It is kept with your profile until you remove it or delete your account.

If you share a video link, we store only the link. We never download or copy the video, so it stays with the service that hosts it, and that service’s own privacy terms apply when someone opens it. Removing the link from Beyond does not delete the video itself.

5. Work Style Preferences

After signing up you can answer a few optional questions about how you like to work, such as working independently or with a team. It isn’t a test, and there are no right or wrong answers.

The Beyond team reads your answers, together with a short summary of the preferences they describe, to get to know you before talking to you about roles. They are not used in matching, and they are not shown to hiring companies.

Your answers are kept with your profile until you clear them or delete your account. You can change or clear them at any time from your profile.

6. Where Your Data Is Stored

Beyond’s platform and database are hosted in the European Union, and this applies to everyone who uses Beyond, wherever they live. When you complete your profile, you agree to your data being processed and stored there.

7. Data Retention & Your Rights

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing our services, maintaining talent profiles, supporting recruitment activities, fulfilling contractual or legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

You may request access to, correction of, restriction of, or deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable legal, contractual, and legitimate business requirements.

Candidates and company admins can delete their own account from their account page. Deleting an account is permanent and can’t be undone.

When a candidate deletes their account, we remove their profile and everything with it, including their CV and its archived copies, their photo, their introduction, their matches and their applications.

When a company admin deletes their account, we remove their own login and details. The company, its roles and the applications it has received stay with the company. If you are the last admin of a company, you can’t delete your own account; contact us instead.

8. Cookies and analytics

We use two analytics tools on every page of Beyond, including the pages you see after signing in: Microsoft Clarity, which makes session recordings and heatmaps, and Google Analytics 4.

They record the pages you visit, where you click and how you scroll, and your device and browser. They use your IP address to estimate your approximate location. Clarity also records the screens you see, including signed-in pages. Text on the page and anything you type into a form are masked, so they are not recorded. Images on the page, such as profile photos, may appear in Clarity recordings.

We don’t send your name, email or account details to these tools.

We use this to understand how people use Beyond, so we can improve it.

These tools set cookies in your browser. Clarity sets _clck and _clsk. Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_<id>.

The data is processed by Microsoft (for Clarity) and Google (for Google Analytics), under their own privacy terms. They may process it outside the European Union.

You can stop this by blocking cookies in your browser settings, or by using a tracker blocker. For Google Analytics, you can also install Google’s opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
