Data Ethics

Devometrics scores people using AI. That comes with real responsibility, and we'd rather state our principles plainly than let them be assumed. This page describes how we try to hold ourselves to them — it's a statement of intent, not a legal contract (see our Terms of Service for that).

Every competency the AI extracts carries a visible Confidence Score. When the model is inferring from limited signal, that's shown next to the number — not hidden behind a single clean-looking figure.

Assessment results, gap analyses, and AI Coach feedback are self-report tools and AI-generated guidance — not certified psychometric evaluation, clinical assessment, or a guarantee of any career outcome. We say this directly in the product, not just in fine print.

We deliberately avoid building features on frameworks that sound authoritative but aren't supported by research — for example, we don't frame anything around "learning styles" (visual/auditory/kinesthetic), since that model has been repeatedly tested and hasn't held up. Where we can't back a claim with real evidence, we don't make it.

The CV text, job descriptions, and messages you submit are sent to our AI provider only to generate your results, under an API agreement that excludes that data from model training.

If you join Devometrics through a company workspace, your organization's admins can see your Career Health Score, capability pyramid, and any milestones they've assigned you. They cannot see your day-to-day task list, your personal productivity tracking, or any individual survey answer — ever. Survey results only ever reach admins as anonymous aggregates, and only once at least 3 people have responded; below that, the results simply don't show. This is enforced in the database itself, not just hidden in the interface.

Full data export and deletion are built into the product itself (dashboard → Data & privacy), not locked behind a support request. Deletion has a 30-day grace period so a mistaken click can be undone — after that window closes, it's permanent and we can no longer retrieve it.

Devometrics is designed as an input to your own judgment about your career, not a replacement for it. We don't make hiring, promotion, or compensation decisions, and we'd push back on any use of the platform that tried to make it do so unilaterally.
