TEEN SOURCING SOFTWARE LLC
PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated on: October 2026

INTRODUCTION

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how Teen Sourcing Software LLC (“Teal.ai”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, stores, shares and uses personal data and information in connection with its talent sourcing and recruitment services (the “Services”), whether provided directly through its own websites, applications and platforms, including https://app.beteal.ai/ (the “Teal.ai Platforms”), or through integrations with third-party platforms, including applicant tracking systems (ATS), recruitment management platforms and other human resources technology solutions (the “Third-Party Platforms” and, together with the Teal.ai Platforms, the “Platforms”).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Where consent is required under applicable law, Teal.ai will request it separately.

1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

1.1. Information we collect

In connection with the use of the Platforms and our Services, we may collect the following types of personal data from users worldwide:

  • Personal Identification Information: name, email address, phone number, and other contact details;
  • Professional Information: resume/CV, employment history, education, skills, and references;
  • Usage Data: information about how you use the Platforms and related services, including IP address, browser type, and access times;
  • Candidate sourcing and validation information: publicly available professional profile links and data, candidate communications, records of authorizations to disclose profiles and limited feedback verifying the accuracy of professional experience.

In certain cases, your consent to use personal information may be required, which may be withdrawn at any time, by reaching out to us via the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. We may also need to collect and process additional personal information to provide services, perform any contractual obligations, or for legal compliance. In such cases, we shall get in contact with you.

1.2. How information is collected

We process personal information that you provide directly through various channels:

  • When you register at any Teal.ai Platform, sign up for news, events or newsletters, obtain our Services, contact us with any queries or respond to our communications;
  • From your computer or mobile device when you browse through our Teal.ai Platforms.

We may also collect data from social media, forums, email, chat conversations, cookies, client notification service (using third party service), survey forms and applications or any other similar third-party applications, among others. In particular, Teal.ai may identify prospective candidates through publicly accessible professional networks (including LinkedIn) and contact them by email or WhatsApp regarding relevant opportunities, in accordance with applicable laws. Before disclosing a candidate profile to an Third-Party Platform and/or identified recruitment customer, Teal.ai requests specific authorization for the recipients and purpose, including for candidates previously contacted about other opportunities.

When data is collected indirectly, Teal.ai provides the information required by applicable law, including information about the source of their data and the purposes for which it is processed, within the applicable legal timeframes.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not anticipate using your information for any purposes apart from business purposes. We use the collected information to:

  • provide the Services;
  • facilitate the recruitment process and manage job applications;
  • review and process any job application in case any user has applied for a position;
  • communicate with you regarding your application status;
  • improve our Services and provide a better user experience, including looking into any complaints or queries;
  • perform marketing and business activities in relation to our Services;
  • comply with legal obligations and protect our rights;
  • exercise or defend any legal rights;
  • monitor the use of the Platforms for business purposes;
  • identify and contact potential candidates for opportunities specified by recruitment customers;
  • seek authorization before disclosing candidate profiles to identified Third-Party Platforms and customers; and
  • use limited feedback confirming whether the professional experience presented was accurate to improve sourcing criteria. Teal.ai does not receive interview recordings as part of this described feedback process.

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data on the basis of the lawful grounds applicable to each processing activity, including:

  • Legitimate interests: to identify and initially contact potential candidates regarding relevant professional opportunities, improve our sourcing criteria, and maintain the security and integrity of the Platforms and Services, provided that such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individuals concerned and subject to applicable electronic communications laws;
  • Consent: where required, including for the disclosure of candidate profiles to identified Third-Party Platforms and recruitment customers;
  • Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to provide Services under a contract with the individual concerned; and
  • Compliance with legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.

Notwithstanding the above, we may use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law. For clarity, pseudonymized data that can still be linked to an individual remains personal data; only effectively anonymized information falls outside that classification.

3. DATA SHARING AND TRANSFERS

We may share your personal data with:

  • employers and recruiters to facilitate the recruitment process;
  • Third-Party Platforms (which may include ATS, recruitment and interview management platforms, among others) and the identified recruitment customers using them, following the applicable candidate authorization;
  • service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as data hosting and analytics;
  • legal authorities, when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Third-Party Platforms and customers may retain copies of candidate information and may act as independent controllers for their own subsequent processing where they independently determine its purposes and essential means. Teal.ai remains responsible for its own collection, disclosures and retained records; applicable roles must be assessed for each processing activity.

Teal.ai uses cloud hosting infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), with its primary data hosting currently located in the United States. Accordingly, personal data processed in connection with the Platforms and Services may be stored and processed in the United States, including data relating to candidates located in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where applicable law requires a mechanism for an international transfer, we use an appropriate safeguard, which may include an adequacy decision, applicable Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures where required, or another lawful mechanism. Information about applicable safeguards may be requested using the contact details below. In particular, transfers involving AWS-hosted data in the United States will be assessed against the applicable legal requirements and the safeguards actually available for the relevant recipient and processing activity, including, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.

4. DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, taking into account the nature of the information, the relevant recruitment process, any ongoing relationship with the individual concerned, and applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Where appropriate, personal data will be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer necessary for such purposes, unless further retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the above, we may share information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) except as prohibited by applicable law.

We may share your information with you with your consent at your request or direction.

5. YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: request access to your personal data;
  • Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Deletion: request deletion of your personal data;
  • Objection: object to the processing of your personal data;
  • Restriction: request restriction of processing your personal data;
  • Portability: request transfer of your personal data to another organization;
  • Withdrawal of consent: where we rely on consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. In certain circumstances it may be lawful for us to continue processing without consent if we have a legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so.

Where applicable, individuals may also exercise rights relating to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, under Article 22 GDPR.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at legal@beteal.ai. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by law. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal. Where legally required, we will notify recipients of rectification, erasure or restriction requests concerning data previously disclosed to them; recipients acting as independent controllers remain responsible for their own processing.

If you think we have infringed data protection laws, you may file a claim with the data protection supervisory authority in the country of your residence.

6. USE OF COOKIES

Cookies are sent to your browser from the Platforms and stored on your device. Tracking technologies such as beacons, tags, and scripts are used to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Services.

We may use and integrate third-party applications with our platforms to improve the user experience. Cookies by such a third party may be placed on your browsing device, and they can be managed by checking the third party’s website for more information about cookie management and how to "opt-out“ of receiving cookies from them.

You may instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Where required, non-essential cookies or similar technologies will be used only after obtaining valid consent and offering appropriate preference controls.

7. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website and updating the effective date.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or request consent before introducing materially different processing activities.
