Connovo, Inc. (“Connovo,” “we,” “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered K-12 hiring platform.

  • Interview responses: Text transcripts of AI screening interviews, including all messages exchanged during the interview.
  • Voluntary demographic data: Race/ethnicity, gender, veteran status, and disability status collected solely for EEO compliance monitoring. This data is never used in evaluation scoring or hiring decisions.
  • Accommodation requests: Language preferences and any interview accommodations requested.

2.2 Information Generated by AI

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Providing the Service: Processing applications, conducting AI interviews, generating evaluations, and facilitating the hiring workflow.
  • EEO Compliance: Monitoring hiring outcomes for adverse impact using the four-fifths rule. Demographic data is analyzed only in aggregate and is never linked to individual evaluation scores.
  • Communication: Sending application status updates, interview invitations, and hiring decision notifications.
  • Improvement: Analyzing anonymized, aggregated data to improve our AI models, rubrics, and platform features.
  • Security: Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents.

4. How We Share Your Information

  • School districts: Your application materials, interview transcripts, and AI evaluations are shared with authorized personnel at the school district(s) you applied to.
  • AI processing: Interview transcripts are sent to Google Gemini for analysis. Google processes this data under our data processing agreement and does not use it for model training.
  • Service providers: We use Supabase (database/auth), Resend (email), and Sentry (error monitoring). Each processes data under contractual obligations.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request.
  • We do NOT sell your personal information.

5. Data Retention

  • Active accounts: Data is retained for as long as your account is active.
  • After account deletion: Personal data is deleted within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely.
  • Interview transcripts: Retained for 2 years after the associated hiring cycle closes, or until account deletion, whichever comes first.
  • EEO compliance data: Retained as required by federal and state record-keeping requirements (typically 1-3 years).
