What we hold about you, and who can see it.
Last updated 23 October 2026.
The short version
- If you sat an assessment, your work is shown to the employer who invited you. Nobody else sees it, and it is never sold, shared, or used to advertise anything.
- No third-party tracking. No advertising pixels and no third-party scripts. We count visits to our public pages ourselves, anonymously and without cookies. Candidates invited by an employer are given no cookie at all, and nothing is counted during an assessment.
- If you joined the talent pool, your profile, CV and result are seen by the Trial Day team, and by a company only after we have told you.
- If you do a project, your work is yours and private. A Track Record is public only if you publish it, and shows only what you choose.
- Everything is stored in the United Kingdom, and the servers run in the Netherlands. Nothing leaves the UK or the EU, except a talent pool member's payment and phone code, which go through Razorpay and MSG91 in India.
- You can have it deleted by asking, and you do not have to give a reason.
Who this covers
Three different people use Trial Day, and several answers below differ for each.
Candidates are people sent an invitation link by an employer who is hiring. If that is you, the employer decided to assess you and chose what to tell us about you. We hold your work on their behalf.
Customers are the people at that employer who sign in to set up assessments and read results.
Members of the talent pool are analysts who signed up to be assessed and introduced to companies. Their section is below, and what happens when they do a project is in its own section.
Trial Day is run by a sole trader based in India. Your data is not: it is stored in the United Kingdom and processed on servers in the Netherlands, as described below.
If you are a candidate
What the employer tells us about you
Only what they type when they create your invitation.
| Your email address | So the invitation is addressed to you rather than to whoever happens to be holding the link. |
|---|---|
| Your name | Optional. Some employers leave it blank. |
| The role | The job title and internal reference they are hiring for. |
We do not ask them for anything else, and we never ask you for your age, your gender, your ethnicity, your photograph, your address, or your identity documents. The software has nowhere to put them.
What is recorded while you work
| Your analysis | The queries you run, the results you save as evidence, the answers you choose, and the reasoning you write. |
|---|---|
| Timing | When you started, how long each decision took, and when you finished. |
| Whether the page had focus | Only whether this browser tab was in front, and for how long it was not. This is how the rule against leaving the assessment is enforced, and it is explained to you before you begin. |
| Help you asked for | Which hints you took, and at what point. |
| Your result | The score and the written report produced from all of the above. |
What is not recorded. Anything outside this browser tab. On an assessment sent by an employer we cannot see your other tabs, your other windows, your screen, your camera, your microphone, your keystrokes elsewhere, or anything else running on your computer. The only thing observed about your attention is whether this page was in front, which your own browser tells the page directly.
Proving the invitation is yours
Before you begin, you are asked to prove you own the email address the invitation was sent to. You can do that by signing in with Google or Microsoft, or by receiving a short code by email.
If you sign in with a provider, we receive one thing from them: your verified email address. We do not receive and cannot see your password, your contacts, your calendar, your files, or anything else in that account, and we do not post anything anywhere. Your address is compared with the one the employer typed, and then we keep only the fact that it matched and which method you used.
Who sees your work
The employer who invited you. That is the whole list.
Your result is not shown to any other employer, is not added to any pool, database, or profile that other companies can search, and is not used to build one. If you sit an assessment for two different companies, neither is told about the other.
Why we are allowed to hold it
The employer asked us to assess you as part of their hiring, and we do that for them and only for them. In European terms, the employer is the data controller and Trial Day is their processor. Practically, this means that if you want your data removed you can ask either of us, and we will act on it.
If you joined the talent pool
The talent pool is for analysts who signed up to be assessed and introduced to companies hiring. Unlike a candidate sent a link by an employer, you hold your own record with us, and we are responsible for it.
What we hold
| Your email address | To sign you in with a one-time code, and to write to you about your result and about roles. |
|---|---|
| Your profile | Your name, mobile number, LinkedIn profile, city, years of experience, current role and company, the kind of analytics you do, your notice period and the salary you expect. So we can match you with roles, and so a hiring manager knows who they are meeting. |
| Your CV | The file you upload, kept as it is. |
| Your assessment | Everything described above for candidates: what you ran, what you decided, what you wrote, and the score. |
| How you paid | When the fee applies: whether it was paid or refunded, and the UPI ID or the last four digits of the card it came from, as Razorpay reports them. We never see or keep a full card number. |
| Camera photos | During the assessment your camera stays on: one check-in photo before the clock starts, and a small still about every five minutes. Never video and never sound. They are kept for 90 days and then deleted, and only the Trial Day team looks at them, to check the person taking the assessment is the person who joined and is working alone. |
| What your browser reports | Whether the camera was covered, its picture froze, it was switched off, or a second screen was connected. Worked out in your own browser; nothing about your screen or other windows is sent. |
| Signs of a second account | A random code your browser keeps in its local
storage, named td_device, so we can notice two accounts opened on one
device. We compare it, with your number, LinkedIn link and payment account, against
other members. A match is looked at by a person; it never closes an account by
itself. |
The photo review
When it is switched on, your photos are sent to Anthropic, after the assessment, to count how many people are in each and whether a phone is visible. It never says who anybody is, never compares faces, and never changes your score: it only points the Trial Day team to photos worth a look, and a person decides. Anthropic does not use them to train anything.
Who sees it
Only the Trial Day team, until you are introduced to a company. We tell you before your details go to any company, and we send only what that introduction needs: your profile, your CV and your result.
How long we keep it, and deleting it
Until you ask us to delete it, or two years after you last sign in, whichever comes first. Write to [email protected] from the address you joined with and we will delete your profile, your CV and your assessment.
If you do a project
A project is four months of analyst work at a simulated company, done at your own pace and signed in the same way as the talent pool. You hold it, and we are responsible for it.
What we hold
| Your work | Your notes, your notebook, the decisions you made each month, the files you upload (up to 5 MB each), what you said about how you used AI, and the reviews of your work. So you can come back to it, and so each review can read it. |
|---|---|
| What you do in it | Which screens you open, how much of the company video you watch, when you open the workspace and which tables you look at, how many queries you run, the hints and feedback you ask for, and the minutes you spend each day. The Trial Day team can see this, so we can tell where people get stuck and help. It is steps and counts only: the team does not read your answers or your code from it. |
| The company | Not your data: it is made up for you, from a random number. We keep that number and your decisions, and rebuild the company's data from them when you need it. |
| Explain your work | Your three typed answers about your own project, before a Track Record can be published. |
| Your Track Record | What you chose to show on it, and whether it is published. |
| In your browser only | Your light or dark choice, and where you got to in a project's short explainer. Kept in this browser's local storage and never sent to us. |
The project review
Every month's answer is checked automatically, by code that compares your numbers and your queries with the company's. When the AI review is switched on, your answer for that month (your note, your decisions, your notebook's code, the text of files you uploaded and what you said about using AI) is also sent to Anthropic, which writes the review's comments. Anthropic does not use it to train anything. The levels in a review and the highlights on a Track Record come from the automatic checks only, never from the AI.
Who sees it
You, and the Trial Day team when we need to support you or keep the service working. A Track Record is public only if you publish it, and then it shows your name, the role you chose, the decisions you made, techniques found in your work, the notebook cells you picked, and, if you asked, numbers that improved. Never your notes, your reviews, your email or what needs work. You can take it down at any time.
How long we keep it, and deleting it
As long as your talent pool account is kept, as described above. Asking us to delete your account deletes your projects, their files and your Track Record with it.
If you are a customer
We hold your work email address, your name if you gave one, and a one-way scrambled version of your password. The password itself is not stored and cannot be recovered from what is, which is why a forgotten password is reset rather than looked up.
We also keep a record of how you use the console, so we can support you and see which parts of the product help and which get in the way: when you signed in and how, which pages you opened, which features you used (such as sorting, filters or the file upload), how long you spent in the console while it was in front of you, and what you did (the roles you created, the invitations you sent, the results you opened and the decisions you recorded). It never includes anything you typed. It is kept for thirteen months and then deleted, and it is seen only by us.
When you sign up we also note on your account the name of the site that first sent you to us, such as Google or LinkedIn, from the anonymous visit counting described below. Only that name is copied; the visit counts themselves stay anonymous.
The companies that help us run it
Seven, and no others. Anthropic also appears once more, below, for a feature that is described below, because the one feature that would involve it is built, switched off, and worth telling you about before rather than after.
| Railway | Runs the servers. Amsterdam, Netherlands. |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Stores the database. London, United Kingdom. |
| Resend | Sends email. If the employer chooses to send your invitation, or a reminder about it, from here, Resend receives your name, your email address and that message. If you ask for a verification code, it receives your email address and a six-digit number. Nothing else is ever emailed to you. |
| Google and Microsoft | Only if you choose to sign in with one of them, as described above. |
| Razorpay | Only for members of the talent pool, once the fee applies. Takes the payment on its own page and receives your name, email address and mobile number to do it. India. |
| MSG91 | Only for members of the talent pool, once phone codes are switched on. Receives your mobile number and a six-digit code. India. |
| Anthropic | Only for members of the talent pool. Once the photo review is switched on, receives the camera photos from your assessment, to count the people in them. Once the project review is switched on, receives a month's answer from your project, to write its comments. United States. |
Nothing you write is scored by a machine, ever. Your result is arithmetic over what you did, and it is identical whether any of the below is switched on or off. No model contributes to a score, a grade, a ranking, or a recommendation about you. That is not a setting; there is no code path in this product where it could.
No artificial intelligence service receives anything about a candidate invited by an employer. Producing or reading their report makes no outside request. The one exceptions on this whole site are the talent pool's photo review, described in the talent pool section, which covers only members' camera photos, and the project review, which covers only a member's own project work. There is one feature that would change that and it is switched off: an employer can ask for a section of a finished report to be described back to them in prose — a summary of numbers already computed. If an employer turns it on, the text of that section, which can include what you wrote for the team, is sent to Anthropic to be read and summarised, and is not used to train anything. Nothing is sent unless a person presses the button, and nothing is sent about a candidate whose employer has not enabled it.
We would rather say this before it is true of anybody than discover we had to say it afterwards. If you want to know whether the employer who invited you has it on, ask them, or ask us and we will tell you.
Your data is not sold, rented, licensed, or shared with anybody else, in any circumstance. There is no advertising business here to feed.
How long it is kept
A result is kept while the employer's account is open, because the point of it is that they can look back at how somebody they hired compared with the people they did not. We do not put an arbitrary clock on another company's hiring records.
An invitation that is never opened expires by itself and stops working.
When a result is deleted, the decision log behind it goes with it. That matters more than it sounds. Everything a candidate did is in that log, so removing only the summary would leave the substance behind. Deletion removes both.
Asking for a copy, or for deletion
Whoever you are, you can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. You do not have to give a reason, and it costs nothing.
Candidates can ask us directly, at the address below, or ask the employer who invited them. Either route works. Because the employer decided to assess you, we will normally tell them that a deletion happened, but not why you asked.
We answer within thirty days and usually much sooner. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you can also complain to your national data protection authority, and you do not need to come to us first.
If something goes wrong
If candidate or customer data is exposed, we will tell the affected customers within seventy-two hours of finding out, describe what happened in specific terms, and say what we are doing about it. A notice saying that an incident may have occurred is not what we intend to send.
Changes to this page
The date at the top changes when the text does. If a change means we would use your data for something materially different from what is described here, we will contact affected customers rather than quietly reissuing the page.
Contact
Write to [email protected].
Candidates who would rather not contact us directly can reply to whoever sent the invitation.
