Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SecurityCleared.ai (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use our website and platform (the “Service”).

We process personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are designed for security-cleared and defence-sector professionals in the United Kingdom. Please read this policy carefully before submitting clearance-related or career information.

The data controller is SecurityCleared.ai. For privacy enquiries, contact hello@securitycleared.ai.

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

• Identity and contact data (name, email address, phone number, location).
• Account and authentication data (login credentials handled by our auth provider; session cookies).
• Professional and career data (employment history, skills, qualifications, CV uploads, career preferences).
• Security-clearance-related data you choose to provide (clearance level, vetting status, service history).
• AI-generated outputs (career reports, readiness scores) based on your profile.
• Technical data (IP address, browser type, device information, and logs for security and operations).
• Communications (messages sent via contact forms, waitlist, or support requests).

We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:

• Contract — to provide the Service you register for.
• Legitimate interests — to secure, improve, and operate the platform (balanced against your rights).
• Consent — where you opt in (e.g. marketing communications, where offered).
• Legal obligation — where we must comply with applicable law.

Information about security clearance, vetting, or government employment may be sensitive in nature. We only collect what you voluntarily submit to build your passport and career intelligence.

Do not upload classified material or information you are not authorised to disclose. You are responsible for ensuring your submissions comply with your employer, contract, and official security policies.

We use personal data to:

• Create and maintain your account and digital passport.
• Parse CVs, generate career reports, and calculate readiness scores.
• Provide customer support and respond to enquiries.
• Maintain platform security, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We do not sell your personal data. We use trusted processors to run the Service, including hosting, database, authentication, email delivery, and AI processing providers. These processors act on our instructions and under appropriate contractual safeguards.

We may disclose data if required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

Some processors may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as UK adequacy regulations or Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

You may request deletion of your account subject to applicable retention requirements.

Under UK GDPR you may have the right to:

• Access, rectify, or erase your personal data.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Data portability (where applicable).
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level security in our database.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong password and keep your credentials confidential.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
