Australian End User Agreement

Last updated: March 31, 2022

1.         Introduction and Commitment to the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles

The Privacy Act (“PA”) and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APP”) establish an important regulatory framework governing how to collect, process, use, disclose and secure personal information, giving individuals who reside in Australia greater control over the way in which their information is protected.  We at Pymetrics, Inc. (“pymetrics”) will ensure our compliance with the provisions of the PA and the APP, including, without limitation by: 

  • Dedicating sufficient resources and expert teams of privacy professionals to ensure that your information and privacy remain protected according to local regulations and norms, and that we maintain compliance with any and all applicable data protection and privacy regulations in your local jurisdiction;
  • Being transparent with all pymetrics users in all of our data processing operations, which are more thoroughly detailed in our global pymetrics Privacy Policy;
  • effectively and promptly responding to and processing your requests (including requests to update personal information), report any suspected incidents concerning personal information (including, when  required, reporting any unauthorized access, disclosure or loss of information to the  Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or “OAIC”) and mandating privacy training for all relevant members of our team;
  • your personal information will be encrypted at rest and in transit when transferred between Australia and the United States and stored in Australia or the United States, using industry accepted good practice such as ISO 27001 for overseas transfer mechanisms; and
  • Securing your personal information using industry accepted good practices such as ISO 27001 that include physical, procedural and technical measures, including by limiting access to those Pymetrics personnel who have a need to access such personal information.

Please do not hesitate to contact our data protection office at dpo@pymetrics.com should you have any additional questions related to our compliance with the PA and APP.

If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the pymetrics global privacy policy and the above Australian privacy commitments (including with respect to compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), the Australian privacy commitments and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) will apply to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.

Each time you log into your account with pymetrics in order to access the pymetrics online and/or mobile services, including, without limitation, those services located at pymetrics.com , any pymetrics mobile application, and/or any software provided by pymetrics in connection with such services (collectively, the “Services”), you will be deemed to have read and accepted any amendments to: (a) the pymetrics Privacy Policy; and (b) this Australia End User Agreement (“Agreement”), in each case that are clearly and prominently notified to you by pymetrics (during the log-in process for the Services).  Once you have logged into your account, you must read any such notified amendments to the pymetrics Privacy Policy and the Australia End User Agreement.  If you do not agree to such amendments, then you will be prompted to log out of the Platform and you may contact dpo@pymetrics.com with any questions.  All such amendments will not apply retroactively unless such amendments are to your benefit.

For the purposes of this Agreement, any references to “we,” “our,” or “us” means pymetrics.

The Last Updated  legend at the top of this Agreement sets out when this Agreement was last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Services provided that doing so does not adversely affect the benefit you receive from the Services or prejudice you in any way (including in applying for any role with a potential employer).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any significant modification to the Services, including to the Games, you shall be notified, in addition to the entity who invited you to use the Services. 

2.         The pymetrics services

In order to access or use the Services, you will be required to create and register a user account (“Account”). When creating and registering your Account, you may be asked to enter or confirm certain personal and professional information, including, but not limited to, your name, email address, level of education, degree type, school, graduation year, employment history, and demographic information (individually, “Profile Fields,” and collectively, “Profile Information”). Some Profile Fields will be mandatory and some voluntary. You will also be required to provide a password for your Account.

2.1        Account Registration

When creating and registering an Account, you agree to:

  • provide true, accurate, current, and complete Profile Information about yourself as prompted by the registration form;
  • use your real name and email address when entering your Profile Information;
  • choose a strong and secure password;
  • be responsible for the confidentiality and use of your password;
  • not transfer or resell your use of or access to your Account to any third party for the purpose of such third party playing any of the games on your behalf; and
  • not create more than one Account.

Please note that any third party with whom you share login details about your Account will have access to the information that you have provided. pymetrics is not responsible and disclaims any liability if your Account is used improperly or falsely by a third party to the extent such use is attributable to your disclosure of login details about your Account to that third party. If you attempt to enter Profile Information (including an email address) that is not true, accurate, current, or complete, we reserve the right to cancel your registration and terminate your Account, which may affect your eligibility to be assessed by pymetrics for up to 12 months.  If you believe that your email account used  with your Account has been compromised, please contact dpo@pymetrics.com.  A pymetrics support representative will work with you to investigate and restore your Account. 

If you allow a third party app or site such as Facebook or LinkedIn to authenticate you or pre-populate your Profile Information during the registration process of your Account, then such third party app or site has its own legal terms and privacy policy, and you may be granting others permission to use your Profile Information in ways we would not. pymetrics is not responsible for these other apps and sites.

2.2        pymetrics games

After creating and registering your Account, you will be able to play a set of online neuroscience-based games (the “Games”) via the Services. Subject to applicable law (including your right to withdraw your consent) and the terms of this Agreement, you consent to pymetrics collecting and retaining your Gameplay Data on a de-identified basis for as long as is reasonably necessary for the research and development of the Services.“Gameplay Data” refers to information and data collected from your behavior and actions in the course of playing the Games, including, without limitation, metadata about your real-time user interaction with the Games.

You agree that you will:

  • take the Games seriously and play the Games attentively to the best of your ability;
  • carefully read the instructions before commencing each of the Games;
  • NOT stop a Game halfway through, or purposely end gameplay, to repeat a particular Game (although you can suspend a Game and complete it later);
  • NOT attempt to play any Game more than once in a 12-month period, either through your original Account or through the creation of an additional Account.

Upon completion of one or more of the Games, you may contact support@pymetrics.com with any questions or concerns.

Prior to starting the Games, you may be asked to provide or confirm your native language and whether you wish to play a version of our Games modified for color blindness, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”), or dyslexia. Your answers to such questions will constitute private and sensitive information (“Private Information”) and will not be shared with any recruiters, employers, or other third parties.  Please visit our Accessibility Accommodations page to learn more about your accessibility options when using pymetrics.  Our Services, including the Games, meet the W3C Accessibility Standards (https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/). 

2.3        pymetrics Trait Profile

After your completion of all of the Games, pymetrics will review your Gameplay Data and generate your specific “Trait Profile,” which contains pymetrics' assessment and description of your cognitive, social, and personality traits.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

If you were requested to create an Account (or to sign into your existing Account) or play the Games (or to use your prior Gameplay Data) by your current employer, then all or parts of your Profile Information and Trait Profile may be visible to your current employer; and
If you were requested to create an Account (or to sign into your existing Account), and play the Games (or to use your prior Gameplay Data) as part of the job application process for a specific employer, then you consent to all or parts of your Profile Information and Trait Profile being visible to that specific employer.
 

2.4        Storage of information

pymetrics will store, maintain, and provide you with a copy of any information or data that you previously provided via your Account and the Services as required by applicable law and as noted in our Privacy Policy.  This includes pymetrics' commitment to make any corrections or updates that you communicate to us in respect of your Profile Information.

2.5        Use of site by minors

The Site is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18 years old (“Minimum Age”). However, if applicable law requires that you must be older in order for pymetrics to lawfully provide the features or services of the Site to you without parental consent, then the Minimum Age is such older age.

2.6        Site restrictions

pymetrics reserves the right to limit your access and use of the Services at our reasonable discretion, such as where pymetrics detects that you are asking to replay any Games repeatedly or similar requests that impact upon your Trait Profile. pymetrics reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your Account if we reasonably believe that you may be in material breach of this Agreement or Australian law or are otherwise misusing the Services (e.g. violating any of the Site Rules (as set out in section 3 below)).

2.7        Suspected fraud or anomalous activity

pymetrics reserves the right to use a variety of methods to detect and block any fraudulent or anomalous activity and to screen use of the Services to prevent abuses such as fraud. However, such detection methods are not perfect and false positives may occur. If you use the Services, you consent to pymetrics enforcing the Site Rules or attempting to prevent fraudulent or anomalous activity, which may result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of your Account or use of certain functions of the Site. pymetrics shall not be responsible or liable for any such suspension or termination, including any consequences thereof.
