1. Introduction

We, at Human Edge AI Inc. (“Human Edge,” the “Company”, “We,” or “Us”), a member of the Dialectica Group, value your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, share and protect personal information obtained from Clients, Specialists and visitors to our website (https://www.humanedgetech.ai/) . By visiting and using our website in any way, you become subject to the Terms & Conditions, an integral part of which is this Privacy Policy.

Human Edge AI, Inc. is a company registered in Delaware, U.S.A. Human Edge is the “Data Controller” for personal information collected from users globally. Despite being governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, this Policy is also designed to align with global data protection standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK-GDPR, and applicable US state privacy laws such as the DPDPA and the CCPA.

2. How we collect the Data

a. Directly from You: We collect information when you submit your information to become an expert with Human Edge, join our network of Specialists, or communicate with us via any means (email, website forms, etc.).

b. Automatically from Your Use of Our Website: When you use the Human Edge website, we may collect data from you based on your browsing and using our services. This data may include search history, IP address, screen resolution, type of browser used, operating system and settings, access times and URL reference, cookie data, and other website usage information.

c. From Affiliates and Third Parties: We may also collect data (especially on Specialists) from our affiliates, reputable third parties and publicly available sources (e.g. professional/ business websites, business registries, Specialists’ publications or other business information they have made publicly available about themselves). Such data mainly constitute business contact information and business expertise and qualifications.

3. What Personal Data Do We Process

The personal data we process depends on your interaction with Human Edge. In general, we collect:

  • Identifiers & Contact Information: Name, email, mailing address, and phone number.

  • AI Training & Interaction Data: Contributions provided during projects, including prompts, evaluations, and annotations.
  • Automatic Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, device settings, and website usage patterns collected via cookies and similar technologies.

Specialists & Clients: Specialists registering with Human Edge are required to provide personal information including name, address, and other contact information, as well as detailed information in respect of their academic and professional background and employment history. In the event that a formal ID verification takes place, Human Edge will also process the data used to verify the Specialist’s identity. We may also supplement this with professional data from publicly available sources or our affiliate network.

For Clients, we collect business contact details and position information to manage the service relationship.

Special Category Data: Human Edge does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, religious, or political affiliations). We request that you abstain from sharing such information with us.

4. Our Business Purposes for Processing Data

Human Edge collects and uses your personal information for the following business purposes:

  • Expert Verification & Sourcing: We evaluate your professional qualifications, work history, and academic background to match you with specialized AI training projects.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EU, EEA and UK Data Subjects)

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, we only process your personal data under certain legal bases:
