Clique Privacy Policy
Visionary Talent Clique Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 22, 2026
Last Updated: August 4, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
Visionary Talent, LLC a Utah limited liability company (“Visionary Talent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) owns
and operates the Clique platform, including our website and related online services (together, the
“Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we collect it, how
we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the rights and choices you have.
This Policy applies to everyone who uses or appears on the Platform: job candidates (“Candidates”),
recruiters (“Recruiters”), registered hiring companies and their personnel (“Clients”), and visitors to our
website. It applies to information collected through the Platform, by email, and offline in connection with
our services. This Policy is incorporated into the Terms and Conditions that apply to your use of the
Platform.
The Platform is intended for users in the United States who are at least 18 years old. It is not directed to
residents of the European Union or United Kingdom.
We adhere to this Policy in practice. We will not use or share your personal information in ways that are
materially different from those described here without first providing notice and, where required,
obtaining your consent. We will not make material changes that apply retroactively to previously
collected information without your consent.
2. DEFINITIONS
We try to avoid jargon, but a few terms are worth defining:
• “Personal information” means any information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked
to you, such as your name, email address, or job history. It does not include information that has
been de-identified or aggregated so it can no longer reasonably be linked to you.
• “Cookies” are small text files that a website stores on your device or browser. They are used to
keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how a service is used.
• “Processing” means anything we do with personal information, such as collecting, storing, using,
sharing, or deleting it.
• “Service provider” means a company that processes personal information on our behalf and
under our instructions, such as our hosting or payment vendors.
• “Clients” means companies and hiring organizations registered on the Platform.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHERE IT COMES FROM
We collect personal information in three ways: directly from you, from third parties (such as a Recruiter
who submits your profile or a sign-in provider), and automatically when you use the Platform.
Candidates
Provided by you, or by a Recruiter on your behalf:
• Name and contact information (email address, phone number)
• Compensation information (current and/or expected)
• Location (City and State)
• Job history, work experience, and professional background
• Calendar availability: if you connect a calendar (Google or Microsoft Outlook), we access
free/busy status and Platform-created interview events only; we do not read, store, or share the
contents of your other calendar events
If a Recruiter submits your information, the Recruiter is required under our Recruiter Terms to have
informed you and obtained your consent first, and you will be asked to accept the Candidate Terms and
this Policy.
Recruiters and Clients
• Name, business contact information, company details, and account credentials
• For Clients, payment information: payments are processed by our payment processor, Stripe; we
do not store full payment card numbers
• Hiring needs, job listings, and activity on the Platform
Sign-In Information
• If you sign in or register using Google or Microsoft, we receive your name and email address
from that provider
Collected Automatically
• Device and usage information (IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, actions
taken, and approximate location derived from IP address), collected through cookies and similar
technologies as described in Section 7
We do not collect Social Security numbers, government identifiers, health information, biometric
information, or precise geolocation, and we do not knowingly collect any sensitive categories of personal
information.
Google and Microsoft Calendar Data
When you connect a Google or Microsoft calendar, we access your free/busy status and interview events created by the Platform. When you sign in with Google or Microsoft, we also receive your name and email address from that provider. For Candidates, we access free/busy status only, and we do not read, store, or share the titles, contents, or attendees of your calendar events.
If you are a hiring Client, the scheduling view also displays your own existing calendar events for the dates you are viewing, so that you can see your commitments while choosing an interview time, in the same way a scheduling tool such as Calendly does. We read the times and titles of those events only for the date range you are viewing, we display them back only to you, and we do not store them, share them, or use them for any other purpose.
We use this information solely to support interview scheduling on the Platform: identifying when you are available, showing you your own existing commitments, and creating, updating, and cancelling interview events.
We store the authorization tokens that maintain your calendar connection in encrypted form and use them solely for that purpose. You may disconnect your calendar at any time by emailing team@theclique.co, and we will revoke our access and delete the stored tokens. You may also revoke access directly through your Google Account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions or through your Microsoft account settings.
We do not transfer Google user data to any third party, and we do not use it for advertising, for credit or lending purposes, or to determine creditworthiness. We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and we do not transfer Google user data to any artificial intelligence or machine learning vendor or service.
Clique’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use each category of personal information described above for the following purposes:
• To operate the Platform: creating and displaying Candidate profiles to registered Clients,
matching Candidates with hiring needs, scheduling interviews, facilitating placements, and
paying Recruiter commissions
• To process payments and manage subscriptions
• To communicate with you about your account, interviews, placements, status updates, and service
announcements
• To send marketing and promotional communications, which you may opt out of at any time as
described in Section 8
• To create aggregated or de-identified data, including market research and compensation-range
data, that does not identify any individual; we may use and share such data for any lawful purpose
• To improve and develop the Platform, including analyzing usage, testing features, and
troubleshooting
• To maintain safety and security: verifying accounts, preventing fraud, spam, and misuse, and
• To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests
If we need to use your personal information for a purpose that is materially different from those listed
above, we will notify you first and, where required by law, obtain your consent.
5. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION
We retain personal information for as long as your account or profile is active and as needed for the
purposes described in this Policy. When a Candidate requests removal or withdraws consent, we promptly
remove the profile from active sharing with Clients and delete or de-identify the personal information
within a reasonable period, except information we must retain for legal compliance, dispute resolution,
enforcement of our agreements, tax and accounting requirements, or records of completed placements.
Aggregated or de-identified data may be retained indefinitely.
6. WHO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information with third parties for
targeted advertising. If that ever changes, we will update this Policy, provide clear and conspicuous
notice, and offer you the ability to opt out before any sale or targeted-advertising use occurs.
Registered Clients
We share Candidate profile information (name, compensation information, city/state location, and job
history) only with registered Clients, for the purpose of connecting Candidates with potential employment
opportunities. We do not publicly display Candidate profiles. Clients are contractually required to keep
Candidate information confidential, use it solely for hiring purposes, and comply with applicable privacy
laws.
Service Providers
We share personal information with vendors who process it on our behalf, currently including: Xano
(backend infrastructure and data hosting), WeWeb (front-end application platform), Stripe (payment
processing), Postmark (transactional and campaign email delivery), Google and Microsoft (calendar
integration and sign-in), Anthropic (software development and AI-assisted features such as resume
parsing and profile formatting; calendar data is never transferred to Anthropic), and analytics providers.
These providers are contractually limited to using personal information only to provide services to us. We
may change or add service providers over time; this Policy will continue to govern.
Affiliates
We may share personal information with current or future affiliates under common ownership or control,
who will handle it consistent with this Policy.
Corporate Transactions
If Visionary Talent is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets,
personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This Policy will continue to apply
until an updated policy takes effect and any required notice is given.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose personal information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or where we
believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Visionary Talent, our users, or
others.
7. COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND TRACKING
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the Platform function and help us understand
usage. We use:
• Essential cookies, which are required for the Platform to work (for example, keeping you signed
in). These cannot be disabled through the Platform.
• Analytics cookies, set by us or our analytics providers, which help us understand how users
interact with the Platform so we can improve it.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may limit Platform
functionality. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, and we do not permit third parties to collect
information about your online activities over time and across other websites for their own purposes.
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no common industry standard, the
Platform does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We honor legally recognized opt-out
preference signals where required by applicable law.
8. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Everyone with a Platform account may access, correct, or delete their account information by
contacting us, and may manage certain settings directly in their account. In addition, depending
on where you live, state law may give you some or all of the following rights, which we extend to
all users regardless of residence:
• Access and portability: confirm whether we process your personal information and obtain a
copy of it in a usable format
• Correction: correct inaccurate personal information
• Deletion: request deletion of your personal information, including removal of a Candidate profile
at any time
• Opt out: opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, and profiling in
furtherance of decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. We do not engage in any of
these practices
• Non-discrimination: exercise your rights without receiving discriminatory treatment
How to Submit a Request
Email team@theclique.co or use your account settings. We will verify your request using the email
address associated with your account and may ask for additional information if needed to confirm your
identity. We will respond within forty-five (45) days, and if we need more time we will tell you why and
when to expect a response, consistent with applicable law. You may authorize an agent to submit a
request on your behalf; we will require verification of the agent’s authority.
Appeals
If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing team@theclique.co
with the subject line “Privacy Appeal.” We will respond to appeals within the time required by applicable
law. If your appeal is denied, you may contact the attorney general of your state.
Marketing Choices
You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing message
or emailing team@theclique.co. We will continue to send non-promotional messages about your account,
interviews, and placements. Candidates may disconnect their calendar at any time by emailing team@theclique.co
or by revoking access through their Google or Microsoft account settings, and we will delete the stored authorization
tokens, though disconnecting may pause their profile.
9. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable, industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to
protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and due diligence on our
service providers. Authorization tokens for connected calendar accounts are stored in encrypted form, are
used only to check availability and manage Platform-created interview events, and are deleted when you
disconnect your calendar. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot
guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the
appropriate regulators as required by applicable law, including state breach-notification statutes.
10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Platform is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information
from anyone under 18 (including children under 13 within the meaning of the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person under 18, we will
delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us at team@theclique.co.
11. THIRD-PARTY SITES AND INDEPENDENT PRACTICES
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites and services, including those of Clients and our
service providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to
review. Clients and Recruiters are independent parties; while our agreements require them to protect your
information, we are not responsible for their independent processing of information outside the Platform.
12. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We review this Policy regularly and will update it to reflect material changes in our practices. For
material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Platform at least fifteen (15) days before
they take effect, and the “Last Updated” date above will change. Material changes will not apply
retroactively to previously collected information without your consent. If you do not agree to an updated
Policy, you may close your account or request removal of your profile before the changes take effect.
13. CONTACT US; COMPLAINTS
To ask questions about this Policy, exercise your rights, or file a complaint:
• Email: team@theclique.co
• Privacy requests and appeals: team@theclique.co (subject line “Privacy Request” or “Privacy
Appeal”)
We take every complaint seriously and will respond promptly. If you are not satisfied with our response,
you may contact the Utah Attorney General’s Office or the attorney general of your state of residence.
SUMMARY (PLAIN ENGLISH)
• We collect only what the Platform needs: contact info, compensation, city/state, job history, calendar free/busy status, account and payment details, and basic usage data.
• If you connect a calendar, we use it only for interview scheduling and never send that information to AI tools. For Candidates, we see only when you are busy. For Clients, your booking view also shows your own events so you can avoid conflicts, and we do not store them.
• Candidate profiles are shared only with companies registered on the Platform, never posted publicly.
• We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for targeted advertising.
• Named vendors (Xano, WeWeb, Stripe, Postmark, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic) help us run the Platform under contract.
• You can get a copy of your data, fix it, or delete it anytime: email team@theclique.co. We answer within 45 days and you can appeal.
• You can unsubscribe from marketing anytime; account and interview emails will continue.
• We’ll give you 15 days’ notice before any material change, and changes won’t apply retroactively without your consent.
