Privacy policy

Effective Date: July 29, 2025

At DokimAI ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you use our SaaS platform and services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and other applicable data protection laws.

1. Who is Responsible for Your Data?

For the purposes of the GDPR, the data controller is:

DokimAI

24 Aghmashenebeli Avenue.

Kutaisi, 4600, Georgia

Email: [email protected]

If you are a B2B user, your organization (the “Client”) acts as a separate data controller for the personal data of the individuals taking assessments through your account. In such cases, DokimAI acts as a data processor on behalf of the Client. Our obligations as a data processor are further detailed in a separate Data Processing Addendum (DPA) that we enter into with our B2B Clients.

2. Definitions

  • Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • Processing: Any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
  • Controller: The natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
  • Processor: A natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • Data Subject: The identified or identifiable natural person to whom personal data relates.
  • Services: Our SaaS platform, website, and all related testing and assessment services.

3. What Personal Data Do We Collect and Why?

We collect different types of personal data depending on how you interact with our Services.

a) For B2C Users (You are the Data Subject and Controller Relationship with us):

  • Account Data:
    • Data Collected: Name, email address, password (encrypted), country of residence.
    • Purpose: To create and manage your account, provide access to the Services, communicate with you about your account, and ensure security.
    • Legal Basis: Performance of a contract (Terms of Service).
  • Assessment Data:
    • Data Collected: Responses to test questions, assessment results, performance metrics on tests (e.g., time taken, accuracy). Depending on the nature of the test, this may include data that could be considered sensitive (e.g., related to cognitive abilities, personality traits).
    • Purpose: To generate accurate psychometric test results, provide you with personalized assessment reports, and enable your self-assessment.
    • Legal Basis: Explicit consent (for sensitive data where required) and performance of a contract (to provide the assessment service you requested). We obtain your explicit consent before you begin any assessment that might involve sensitive data.
  • Usage Data:
    • Data Collected: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referral source, device identifiers.
    • Purpose: To analyze and improve the performance and usability of our Services, troubleshoot technical issues, and ensure security.

    • Data Collected: Content of your communications with us (e.g., support inquiries, feedback).
    • Purpose: To respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and improve our services.
    • Legal Basis: Performance of a contract (customer support), Legitimate interests (improving customer service).


b) For B2B Users (Client is Controller, We are Processor Relationship):

When a B2B Client uses our Services to assess their employees, candidates, or other individuals, the Client is the Data Controller, and DokimAI acts as a Data Processor. In this scenario:

  • Client Account & Administrative Data:
    • Data Collected: Business name, contact person name, email, phone number, billing information.
    • Purpose: To manage the Client’s account, provide administrative support, process payments, and communicate about the service.
    • Legal Basis: Performance of a contract (with the B2B Client).
  • Assessment Data (of Individuals Assessed by Client):
    • Data Collected: As instructed by the Client, this may include names, email addresses, and assessment results (responses, scores, reports) of individuals taking tests facilitated by the Client. We process this data strictly on the Client’s instructions.
    • Purpose: To generate and deliver assessment results and reports to the B2B Client, as per our contractual obligations with the Client.
    • Legal Basis: For us as a Processor, our legal basis is the contract with the Controller (our B2B Client). The Client is responsible for establishing the legal basis for processing the personal data of their data subjects (e.g., consent, legitimate interests, performance of a contract, legal obligation).
  • Usage Data:
    • Data Collected: As described above for B2C users, related to the Client’s administrative use of the platform.
    • Purpose: To analyze and improve the performance and usability of our Services for B2B Clients.
    • Legal Basis: Legitimate interests.

c) For All Users (Aggregated & Anonymized Data):

  • Data Collected: We may aggregate and anonymize personal data (e.g., assessment results from many users, usage patterns) in a way that it can no longer be identified with an individual.
  • Purpose: For research, analysis, product development, to improve our AI models, and for marketing our services (e.g., demonstrating the efficacy of our tests).
  • Legal Basis: Legitimate interests (improving our services, developing our AI, market research). This data is no longer considered “personal data” under GDPR.

4. How We Use Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Our Services utilize AI to generate psychometric tests and analyze responses.

  • The AI processes your (or the assessed individual’s) responses to generate scores, insights, and reports.
  • We use anonymized and aggregated data to train and improve our AI models, ensuring the ongoing accuracy and breadth of our test generation capabilities. This process is designed to protect your privacy as individual data is stripped of identifying information.

5. How We Share Your Personal Data

We only share personal data in limited circumstances and with appropriate safeguards:

  • With B2B Clients: If you are an individual taking an assessment through a B2B Client’s account, your assessment data and results will be shared directly with that B2B Client as per their instructions.
  • With Third-Party Service Providers (Processors): We use trusted third-party service providers to help us operate, provide, and improve our Services. These include:
    • Cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud)
    • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
    • Customer support platforms
    • Analytics providers
    • Email communication services

These providers are contractually bound to protect your personal data and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them, and in compliance with GDPR.

  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

    • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services.

  • Regular Security Audits: To identify and address vulnerabilities.
  • Data Minimization: Collecting only the data necessary for the stated purposes.
