Terms of Service — TALLENTIN

Section 1

Who We Are

TALLENTIN is an evidence-based career intelligence platform operated from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. By using TALLENTIN — whether as a job seeker, recruiter, or employer — you agree to these Terms of Service in full.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the service.

Section 2

What TALLENTIN Does

TALLENTIN analyses career profiles and job descriptions using a proprietary evidence-based methodology. The outputs are intelligence reports — structured assessments of how a career profile compares to a specific role or a market standard.

These reports are informational tools. They are not:

Employment decisions or guaranteed outcomes of any kind
Legal opinions or verified background checks
A substitute for human judgment in any hiring process

Section 3

What You Submit

When you submit a career profile or job description to TALLENTIN, you confirm that:

The content belongs to you, or you have the right to submit it for analysis.
You are at least 16 years of age.
You have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy at tallentin.com/privacy.
The information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge. TALLENTIN does not independently verify career history.

Section 4

How We Use Your Submission

Your career profile and any job description you submit are processed to generate your analysis report. Specifically:

Processed in-session via the Anthropic Claude API. Not stored by TALLENTIN after processing is complete.
Not used to train any AI model — confirmed under Anthropic's API Terms of Service.
Not shared with any third party except as described in our Privacy Policy at tallentin.com/privacy.

New in v2.0

Section 4.1 — Graph-Based Analysis Disclosure

What this means in plain English

To produce a more accurate report, TALLENTIN builds a structured map of your career — connecting your employers, job titles, dates, skills, and outcomes into a relationship network. This happens during your scoring session only. The map is destroyed when your report is generated. It is never stored, shared, or retained.

The technical details:

A knowledge graph is constructed from the text of your submitted career profile at the start of each analysis session.
The graph extracts named entities (companies, titles, dates, skills, geographies) and the relationships between them.
The graph exists only in working memory during your session. It is not written to any database, cache, or log.
The graph is automatically destroyed when your report is returned. No copy is retained by TALLENTIN after your session ends.
Protected characteristics (race, gender, religion, age, disability, national origin) are never extracted into the graph.

Section 5

What You May Not Do

By using TALLENTIN, you agree not to:

Submit career profiles or documents that belong to another person without their explicit consent.
Attempt to deceive or manipulate the TALLENTIN scoring system through false submissions.
Use TALLENTIN outputs to discriminate against any individual on the basis of any characteristic protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act or applicable provincial legislation.
Use TALLENTIN outputs to build, train, or improve a competing product or service.
Redistribute or sell TALLENTIN reports or outputs commercially.
Share your report in any way that misrepresents its source or methodology.
Probe, test, or map the behaviour of the TALLENTIN engine through adversarial submissions.

Your report is produced for your personal or authorised business use only.

Section 6

What Our Reports Are — And Are Not

TALLENTIN reports are intelligence outputs based on the evidence in the materials submitted. The quality of any report depends on the completeness and accuracy of what is submitted.

TALLENTIN reports are not:

A guarantee of any employment outcome.
A legally binding assessment of any candidate's suitability for any role.
A replacement for human judgment or legal advice in any hiring decision.
A verified background check, credential verification, or reference check.

TALLENTIN applies its methodology consistently and without discrimination. The platform does not score or assess any individual on the basis of any protected characteristic under the Canadian Human Rights Act or applicable provincial legislation.

Section 6A — Artificial Intelligence Governance Disclosure

Why this section exists

Canada's Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) — part of Bill C-27 — is in development and will establish requirements for high-impact AI systems. TALLENTIN discloses its AI governance position now as a matter of transparency and to ensure readiness as Canadian AI law evolves.

6A.1 — AI System Disclosure

TALLENTIN uses an AI language model (Anthropic Claude API) as one component of a multi-pass forensic scoring system. The AI component is used for evidence classification, language analysis, and report generation. It operates within a deterministic scoring framework — the final score is produced by a fixed formula that the AI component does not modify.

TALLENTIN's AI system:

Is used to assist in — not replace — human judgment in any hiring process.
Produces outputs that are explicitly labelled as intelligence reports, not employment decisions.
Does not make final hiring decisions. Hiring decisions remain with the recruiter or employer.
Does not score any individual on the basis of any protected characteristic under the Canadian Human Rights Act or applicable provincial human rights legislation.
Is subject to ongoing bias monitoring and validation testing by TALLENTIN.

6A.2 — Human Oversight Requirement

Any recruiter or employer using TALLENTIN outputs in a hiring process is required to:

Apply human judgment to all TALLENTIN outputs before making any hiring decision.
Not use TALLENTIN outputs as the sole or determinative basis for any employment decision.
Retain full accountability for any hiring decision made, regardless of any TALLENTIN output used in the process.

6A.3 — AIDA Readiness Position

TALLENTIN is committed to compliance with Canadian AI governance requirements as they develop. This disclosure will be updated as AIDA legislation is finalised. Current TALLENTIN AI governance practices include: bias testing before any scoring signal is deployed, explainable output design (every verdict includes a reasoning trace), and human review of all contested findings.

Section 7

Beta Service Acknowledgement

TALLENTIN is currently in beta. This means:

The service is provided as-is, without warranty of availability, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose.
Output quality may vary. TALLENTIN is actively improving its methodology through ongoing validation testing.
You acknowledge that you are using a pre-commercial service and that findings should be treated as informational guidance, not definitive verdicts.

Section 8

Your Right to Contest a Report Finding

Strengthened in v2.0

Your right — clearly stated

If you believe a TALLENTIN report finding is incorrect, you have the right to contest it. TALLENTIN takes every contestation seriously. No report finding is treated as beyond challenge.

8.1 — What You Can Contest

You may contest any finding in your TALLENTIN report that you believe does not accurately reflect the evidence in your submission — including scores, verdicts, identified gaps, or fraud signals.

8.2 — How to Contest

To contest a report finding:

Contact hello@tallentin.com within 30 days of receiving your report.
Include: your name, the date of your submission, the specific finding you are contesting, and the evidence you believe was not correctly assessed.
You do not need to provide a legal argument. A clear description of what you believe is wrong and why is sufficient.

8.3 — What Happens When You Contest

Timeframe	What TALLENTIN does
48 hours	TALLENTIN acknowledges your contestation in writing.
10 business days	TALLENTIN reviews the finding against your submission and provides a full written response.
Human review	Every contestation is reviewed by a human at TALLENTIN — not by an automated system.
If finding is incorrect	The report is corrected and you receive the corrected version at no charge.
If finding is upheld	You receive a full explanation of why the finding stands.
No penalty	Contesting a finding does not affect your ability to use TALLENTIN or submit future reports.

8.4 — Escalation

If you are not satisfied with TALLENTIN's response to your contestation, you may escalate to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (www.priv.gc.ca) if the dispute relates to the processing of your personal information.

Section 9

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in the Province of Ontario and under federal Canadian law:

TALLENTIN's total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the specific report in question.
TALLENTIN is not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of employment opportunity, lost revenue, or reputational harm.
TALLENTIN does not guarantee employment outcomes and is not liable for any result of any hiring or job-seeking process in which a TALLENTIN report was used.

Section 10

All content associated with TALLENTIN — including the methodology descriptions, scoring frameworks, report designs, brand name TALLENTIN, the Evidence Density Score concept, graph-based analysis architecture, and all website content at tallentin.com — is the property of TALLENTIN and is protected under Canadian copyright law.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
