Terms of Use - My Transparency

Transparency Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: July 16, 2026

Welcome to Transparency. Transparency is a video-based hiring and career platform designed to help candidates share their professional story beyond a traditional resume and to help employers discover candidates through video profiles, professional background, compensation preferences, location preferences, and related career information.

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of Transparency, including our website, platform, candidate profiles, employer tools, video profile features, matching features, scoring features, and related services. These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

By accessing or using Transparency, creating an account, uploading a video profile, viewing candidate content, posting hiring information, or otherwise using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use Transparency.

1. Definitions

In these Terms:

“Transparency,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means Transparency, the owner and operator of the Platform, including its applicable legal entity, owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and service providers where the context requires.

“Platform” means the Transparency website, web platform, software, tools, dashboards, candidate profile features, employer features, video features, scoring features, matching features, and related services.

“Candidate” means an individual user who creates a profile, uploads a video, provides professional information, lists compensation preferences, or uses Transparency to explore employment opportunities.

“Employer” or “Hiring Manager” means a company, business, recruiter, hiring manager, or authorized representative that uses Transparency to view candidate profiles, post opportunities, evaluate candidates, or connect with candidates.

“User” means any Candidate, Employer, Hiring Manager, or other person who accesses or uses Transparency.

“Video Profile” means any video, audio, voice, image, likeness, profile content, salary information, career information, resume information, text, file, or other material submitted by a Candidate.

“Transparency Score” means any proprietary score, indicator, ranking, or informational output made available through Transparency, including any patent-pending scoring feature.

“Salary-Overlap Matching” means any proprietary or patent-pending feature that compares, displays, or identifies possible alignment between Candidate compensation preferences and Employer compensation ranges.

“Mutual Visibility” means any Transparency feature that allows Candidates and Employers to view, connect, match, or express interest based on profile information, preferences, or platform settings.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use Transparency. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet these requirements.

Candidates represent that all information they provide, including profile details, work history, qualifications, compensation preferences, location preferences, and Video Profile content, is accurate, current, truthful, and not misleading.

Employers and Hiring Managers represent that they are authorized to act on behalf of the company or organization they identify and that all job postings, compensation information, hiring criteria, communications, and hiring-related activity submitted through Transparency are accurate, lawful, and authorized.

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate account information and for keeping login credentials confidential. Each User may maintain only one account unless Transparency gives written permission otherwise. Impersonation, false accounts, unauthorized access, and misuse of another person’s account are prohibited.

Transparency may reject, suspend, restrict, or terminate any account or registration if we determine that the account violates these Terms, creates legal or security risk, appears fraudulent, or may harm Transparency, its Users, or the Platform.

Transparency is intended for use in the United States at launch. Users may not access or use the Platform in violation of applicable laws, sanctions, export controls, or geographic restrictions.

3. Nature of the Platform

Transparency is a technology platform that allows Candidates to showcase their professional story through video and profile information and allows Employers to discover, review, and connect with Candidates.

Transparency is not an employer, staffing agency, recruiting agency, employment agency, background-check provider, consumer reporting agency, legal adviser, or human resources adviser. Transparency does not make hiring decisions, control Employer decisions, verify every User submission, guarantee interviews, guarantee job offers, or guarantee employment outcomes.

All hiring decisions, interview decisions, job offers, compensation decisions, employment terms, workplace practices, and legal compliance obligations remain solely with the applicable Employer.

4. Candidate Video Profiles and Consent

Candidates may create or upload Video Profiles to present their background, experience, career goals, personality, and preferences. By recording, submitting, uploading, or displaying a Video Profile, the Candidate expressly consents to Transparency collecting, storing, processing, displaying, transmitting, and using the Candidate’s voice, image, likeness, appearance, statements, video, audio, and profile content for the purpose of operating, improving, securing, and providing the Platform.

Candidates retain ownership of their Video Profiles and other Candidate-submitted content. However, by submitting content to Transparency, each Candidate grants Transparency a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, process, and make such content available through the Platform for recruiting visibility, matching, candidate display, Platform operation, analytics, security, support, and improvement purposes. Transparency may allow its service providers to process such content only as reasonably necessary to operate and support the Platform.

Transparency will not use a Candidate’s Video Profile in public marketing, advertising, testimonials, or external promotional materials without separate consent or opt-in from the Candidate.

The Candidate’s license to Transparency generally ends when the Candidate deletes the applicable content or closes the account, subject to reasonable backup, legal, security, audit, dispute-resolution, compliance, and record-retention needs described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Candidates acknowledge that uploading videos, salary expectations, employment history, location preferences, and personal information involves inherent risk. Candidates submit such information at their own risk and should not upload information they are not comfortable making visible to authorized Employers or Platform users according to their settings.

5. Employer Use of Candidate Content

Employers may access Candidate Video Profiles and related Candidate information only for legitimate recruiting, hiring, evaluation, and professional opportunity purposes through Transparency.

Employers may not download, record, screenshot, scrape, copy, re-host, sell, license, distribute, publicly post, disclose outside their authorized hiring team, or otherwise misuse Candidate videos or Candidate data unless expressly permitted by Transparency in writing and authorized by applicable law.

Employers may not use Candidate videos or visible Candidate traits to discriminate against any Candidate based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable federal, state, or local law.

Employers are solely responsible for ensuring that their review, screening, interview, hiring, compensation, and employment decisions comply with all applicable laws.

6. Biometric, Voice, Image, and Video Data

Because Video Profiles may include a Candidate’s face, voice, likeness, and other personal characteristics, Candidates acknowledge and consent that Transparency may collect, process, and store video, audio, image, voice, likeness, and related data for Platform purposes.

Transparency does not intend to use biometric identifiers or biometric information for unlawful purposes. To the extent any applicable law treats Candidate video, voice, facial geometry, likeness, or similar information as biometric data, Transparency will handle such information in accordance with applicable legal requirements and its Privacy Policy.

Unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, security, backup, dispute resolution, or legitimate business purposes, Transparency will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete or de-identify Candidate video and related data after the Candidate deletes the applicable content, closes the account, or after Transparency no longer needs the information for the purpose for which it was collected.

Detailed privacy, retention, deletion, and data handling practices are further described in the Transparency Privacy Policy, which may be updated from time to time.

Where required by applicable law, Candidates may be required to provide a separate written or electronic consent before creating, uploading, or making a Video Profile available through Transparency.

7. User Content and Upload-at-Own-Risk Acknowledgment

All videos, profiles, job postings, messages, salary information, resumes, descriptions, comments, files, images, and other materials submitted by Users are “User Content.”

Each User is solely responsible for its own User Content and submits such content at its own risk. Transparency does not guarantee that User Content will remain confidential, error-free, secure, available, or protected from unauthorized access, copying, misuse, disclosure, or loss.

Each User represents that it owns or has all necessary rights, permissions, and consents to submit its User Content and that the User Content does not violate any law, contract, privacy right, publicity right, intellectual property right, employment obligation, confidentiality obligation, or third-party right.

Transparency may review, remove, restrict, disable, or refuse any User Content at any time if Transparency believes the content violates these Terms, applicable law, Platform rules, third-party rights, or creates legal, operational, reputational, or security risk.

8. Salary, Compensation, and Job Information

Employers must provide accurate, lawful, and current job postings, compensation ranges, salary information, role descriptions, requirements, and hiring information. Employers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable pay transparency, wage and hour, employment, anti-discrimination, and job-posting laws.

Transparency does not independently verify all Employer-submitted salary ranges, compensation details, job descriptions, qualifications, or hiring statements and is not responsible for inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, misleading, or unlawful Employer-submitted information.

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that their salary expectations, current role, work history, qualifications, experience, location preferences, and other profile details are accurate, current, and not misleading.

No Transparency Score, Salary-Overlap Matching result, Mutual Visibility result, profile view, message, match, or Platform interaction guarantees an interview, job offer, employment relationship, compensation level, or hiring outcome.

9. Transparency Score, Matching Features, and Algorithmic Tools

Transparency may include proprietary and patent-pending features, including Transparency Score, Salary-Overlap Matching, Mutual Visibility, recommendations, rankings, filters, analytics, or other matching tools.

These features are provided for informational and advisory purposes only. They do not constitute hiring advice, legal advice, employment advice, professional advice, or a guarantee of candidate suitability, job fit, hiring success, compensation alignment, interview selection, or employment outcome.

Transparency does not warrant that any score, match, recommendation, algorithm, ranking, or output will be accurate, complete, unbiased, error-free, predictive, or suitable for any particular decision.

Transparency may modify, retrain, suspend, discontinue, replace, or limit any scoring, matching, algorithmic, or analytics feature at any time without liability.

Users are responsible for independently evaluating all Platform information. Employers must not rely solely on automated outputs, video impressions, visible Candidate traits, or Platform rankings when making employment-related decisions and must comply with all applicable AI-hiring, employment, notice, audit, consent, anti-discrimination, and accessibility laws.

10. AI Hiring, Video Interview, and Employment Compliance

Transparency may include or later introduce tools involving video profiles, matching, scoring, analytics, automated recommendations, or employment-related technology. Transparency does not represent that any Employer’s use of the Platform automatically satisfies federal, state, or local hiring, AI, video interview, automated employment decision tool, bias audit, pay transparency, or notice requirements.

Employers are solely responsible for determining whether their use of Transparency triggers any legal obligation, including any requirement to provide candidate notices, obtain consent, conduct audits, provide alternative selection procedures, evaluate bias, retain records, or comply with employment-related technology laws.

If an Employer uses Platform outputs to assist with hiring, screening, ranking, assessment, or employment decisions, the Employer must ensure such use is lawful and must not use the Platform in a discriminatory, unfair, deceptive, or unlawful manner.

11. Prohibited Conduct

Users may not:

Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, discriminatory, unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, sexually explicit, hateful, threatening, or offensive content.
Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent identity, authority, affiliation, employment history, qualifications, hiring role, compensation range, or job opportunity.
Upload deepfaked, manipulated, synthetic, misleading, or unauthorized videos, images, voices, likenesses, or profiles.
Post fraudulent jobs, pay-to-apply schemes, unlawful hiring criteria, discriminatory requirements, or misleading compensation information.
Scrape, data mine, crawl, copy, harvest, or extract Platform data, Candidate information, videos, scores, job postings, or Employer data.
Download, re-host, resell, disclose, or commercially exploit Candidate data or Platform content outside the permitted use of the Platform.
Bypass the Platform, payment process, subscription model, or security controls to avoid fees or restrictions.
Upload malware, malicious code, viruses, spyware, or harmful files.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform, accounts, systems, networks, data, videos, or security features.
Reverse engineer, decompile, copy, modify, or attempt to discover the source code, scoring logic, algorithmic methodology, or proprietary features of the Platform.
Interfere with Platform operations, availability, security, or integrity.
Use the Platform for any unlawful, unauthorized, or prohibited purpose.

12. Employer Obligations

Employers agree to use Transparency only for legitimate recruiting, hiring, and professional opportunity purposes.

Employers must provide accurate, lawful, and current job postings and compensation information; comply with applicable employment, labor, wage, pay transparency, privacy, data protection, anti-discrimination, accessibility, AI-hiring, and consumer protection laws; and avoid discriminatory filtering, screening, evaluation, or decision-making based on protected traits visible or audible in Candidate videos.

Employers must protect Candidate data, restrict access only to personnel with a legitimate hiring need, and must not sell, rent, disclose, or redistribute Candidate data to third parties without proper authorization.

Employers remain solely responsible for all employment decisions, hiring outcomes, employment relationships, offers, rejections, compensation terms, workplace conduct, and legal compliance.

13. Candidate Obligations

Candidates agree to provide accurate, current, and truthful profile information; upload only videos and materials they have the right to submit; avoid false, misleading, manipulated, deepfaked, offensive, discriminatory, or unlawful content; and keep salary expectations, location preferences, employment history, and qualifications current.

Candidates must not misrepresent identity, work authorization, experience, credentials, or career information. Candidates acknowledge that Transparency does not guarantee interviews, job offers, hiring decisions, salary outcomes, or employment opportunities.

14. Fees, Billing, and Paid Features

Certain Transparency features may be free, paid, subscription-based, usage-based, employer-only, candidate-only, or subject to separate written terms. Any applicable fees, billing cycles, renewal terms, refund rules, and payment obligations will be disclosed at purchase, in the account, in an order form, or in a separate written agreement.

Unless otherwise stated, fees are non-refundable once paid, except where required by law or expressly agreed in writing by Transparency. Transparency may change pricing, billing methods, subscription terms, or paid features upon reasonable notice or as otherwise stated at the time of purchase.

If subscriptions or auto-renewal features apply, the applicable renewal terms, cancellation method, billing date, and notice requirements will be disclosed at checkout or in the applicable order terms.

15. Intellectual Property

Transparency, including its software, design, layout, trademarks, logos, trade names, graphics, text, code, databases, scoring tools, matching logic, Transparency Score, Salary-Overlap Matching, Mutual Visibility features, analytics, workflows, and other proprietary materials, is owned by or licensed to Transparency and protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, Transparency grants Users a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform for its intended purpose. No rights are granted except as expressly stated.

Users may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, create derivative works from, or exploit any part of Transparency or its intellectual property without prior written permission.

Candidates retain ownership of their own Video Profiles and personal User Content, subject to the license granted to Transparency under these Terms.

16. Copyright and DMCA

If you believe content on Transparency infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to support@transparency.com.

The notice should include sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized, a statement that the information is accurate, and your physical or electronic signature.

Transparency may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

17. Privacy and Data Use

Your use of Transparency is also governed by the Transparency Privacy Policy, which explains how Transparency collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information.

By using Transparency, Users consent to the collection, processing, storage, and use of account information, profile information, video content, salary information, location preferences, usage data, analytics data, communications, and related information as necessary to operate, secure, improve, support, and develop the Platform.

Transparency may use trusted third-party service providers for hosting, cloud storage, video hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing, security, customer support, and other business operations. These providers may process limited information as necessary to help operate Transparency.

Transparency does not sell, rent, or trade personal data as stated in its Privacy Policy. Users may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including rights to access, correct, delete, or limit certain personal information. The availability and scope of those rights depend on applicable law and are further described in the Privacy Policy.

18. Data Security, Data Incidents, and Content Leaks

Transparency uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the Platform and User information. However, no website, application, database, video-hosting system, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure.

Users acknowledge that uploading videos, salary information, personal details, job postings, messages, and other content carries inherent risk. Transparency does not guarantee that User Content, videos, personal information, salary information, messages, or Platform data will never be accessed, copied, disclosed, altered, lost, misused, or exposed by unauthorized persons, technical failures, third-party service providers, cyberattacks, security incidents, or events outside Transparency’s reasonable control.

If Transparency becomes aware of a data breach, security incident, or content leak affecting User information, Transparency will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, mitigate, and provide notices to affected Users, regulators, or other required parties where required by applicable law.

Transparency is not responsible for unauthorized use, disclosure, copying, downloading, recording, screenshotting, sharing, or misuse of User Content by other Users, Employers, Candidates, third parties, hackers, service providers, or persons outside Transparency’s reasonable control, except to the extent liability cannot be limited under applicable law.

Users are responsible for using caution when uploading sensitive, confidential, personal, salary-related, employment-related, or identity-related information.

19. Accessibility

Transparency is committed to improving accessibility and usability of the Platform. Where reasonably available, Transparency may support accessibility features for video content, including captions, transcripts, or alternative formats.

Users are responsible for ensuring that any content they upload complies with accessibility obligations applicable to them. Transparency may update accessibility features over time but does not guarantee that all User-uploaded content will be fully accessible, accurate, captioned, or suitable for every User need.

20. Disclaimers

Transparency is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Transparency disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, security, reliability, and uninterrupted operation.

Transparency does not warrant that the Platform will produce any employment, interview, hiring, compensation, or business result; that Candidate profiles, videos, job postings, salary ranges, or User-submitted information will be accurate, complete, lawful, or current; that Transparency Score, Salary-Overlap Matching, Mutual Visibility, or any algorithmic feature will be accurate, unbiased, predictive, or suitable for any employment decision; that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components; or that User Content will not be accessed, copied, disclosed, misused, or lost.

Users use Transparency at their own risk.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Transparency and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, service providers, licensors, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost employment opportunity, lost business, reputational harm, loss of data, loss of content, business interruption, or unauthorized disclosure or misuse of User Content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Transparency’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount paid by the User to Transparency for use of the Platform during the twelve (12) months before the claim arose; or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.

22. Indemnification

Users agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Transparency and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, service providers, licensors, and representatives from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

The User’s access to or use of Transparency.
The User’s violation of these Terms or applicable law.
The User’s content, profile, video, job posting, salary information, communication, or other submission.
The User’s infringement or violation of another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, employment, or other rights.
Any Candidate’s misrepresentation of identity, qualifications, work history, salary expectations, authorization, or Video Profile content.
Any Employer’s job posting, hiring decision, employment practice, compensation decision, screening method, discriminatory conduct, or legal compliance failure.
Any misuse, disclosure, copying, downloading, re-hosting, or improper handling of Candidate data or User Content by the User or persons acting through the User.

Transparency may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and Users agree to cooperate with Transparency’s defense.

23. Suspension and Termination

Users may deactivate or close their accounts at any time, subject to any payment obligations, retention requirements, backup processes, legal holds, or surviving obligations.

Transparency may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if Transparency believes a User has violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, misused the Platform, provided false information, infringed rights, failed to pay applicable fees, or harmed Transparency, the Platform, or other Users.

Upon termination, the User’s right to access and use Transparency will cease. Certain provisions will survive termination, including provisions relating to intellectual property, User Content, privacy and data retention, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, payment obligations, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.

24. Changes to Transparency or These Terms

Transparency may update, modify, suspend, discontinue, or replace any part of the Platform at any time. Transparency may also revise these Terms from time to time.

When material changes are made, Transparency may provide notice by posting an updated version on the Platform, updating the effective date, sending email notice, providing in-account notice, or using another reasonable method. Continued use of Transparency after updated Terms become effective means the User accepts the updated Terms.

25. Electronic Communications and Consent

By using Transparency, creating an account, clicking acceptance boxes, submitting forms, uploading content, or continuing to use the Platform, Users consent to conduct transactions electronically and to receive electronic notices, disclosures, agreements, policies, and communications.

Users agree that electronic signatures, clickwrap acceptance, checkbox acceptance, account registration, and other electronic actions have the same legal effect as physical signatures where permitted by applicable law.

26. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Transparency is legally formed, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Except for claims that may not be arbitrated under applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, Transparency, User Content, or the relationship between the User and Transparency will be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator on an individual basis.

Users and Transparency waive the right to participate in a class action, collective action, representative action, private attorney general action, or consolidated proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, Platform security, or data rights.

For any claim not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the state in which Transparency is legally formed.

27. Force Majeure

Transparency will not be liable for any delay, failure, interruption, data issue, content issue, or Platform unavailability caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, labor disputes, internet failures, hosting failures, cyberattacks, service provider failures, utility failures, governmental actions, war, terrorism, pandemics, civil unrest, or other force majeure events.

28. Assignment

Users may not assign or transfer their accounts, rights, or obligations under these Terms without Transparency’s prior written consent. Transparency may assign or transfer these Terms, the Platform, or related rights and obligations in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, change of control, or by operation of law.

29. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Transparency’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

30. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, any posted Platform rules, order forms, subscription terms, or additional written agreements accepted by the User, constitute the entire agreement between the User and Transparency regarding the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings relating to the same subject matter.

If an Employer enters into a separate employer services agreement, order form, enterprise agreement, data processing agreement, or other written agreement with Transparency, that separate agreement will control to the extent it expressly conflicts with these Terms.

31. Contact Us
