Approach to Compliance


Glider AI is dedicated to the  proactive monitoring of data security and evolving research methods, ensuring data compliance, protection, and privacy regulations are maintained. 

GDPR & CCPA

The Glider AI platform provides all customers with the ability to comply with appropriate GDPR and CCPA requirements. Glider AI supports its customers’ own compliance programs on an ongoing basis through product features, integration, and configuration options, as required by customers.

• Glider AI’s Privacy Policy provides additional detail. 
• A review of Glider AI’s GDPR compliant strategy is part of the sales process.

Data inventory

Glider AI has reviewed and identified all areas where customer data is collected and processed, validated and guided by Glider AI’s legal team. Glider AI ensures that the appropriate security and privacy safeguards are implemented and maintained across Glider AI’s infrastructure and software ecosystem. Glider AI’s Privacy Policy provides more detail about Glider AI’s data collection methods and data usage. 

SOC 2

As part of our commitment to protecting client data, Glider AI undergoes annual SOC 2 audits. This audit uses the Trust Services Principles, published by the AICPA, to evaluate the effectiveness of a service organization’s controls.

OFCCP

Glider AI supports record keeping standards established by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) as required by customers who are subject to OFCCP.

Data subjects/consumer rights

Both the GDPR and the CCPA give data subjects/consumers the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data in certain circumstances. When using Glider AI, you can comply with deletion requests by deleting the candidates’ data from your Glider AI account, as well as designating the supplementary data Glider AI provides as excluded from future use by your team. For individuals who want to access their personal data, you can export all of the relevant data from your Glider AI account in a computer-readable CSV format. Glider AI can also help you with this process if required.

Campaigns and Personally Identifiable Information

By default, customers will not provide or receive any personally identifiable information (PII) via the Glider AI platform. Glider AI does not collect or share sensitive information such as browser history, health, or financial information, or any other information about a person in a family or household capacity.

If customers choose to use the campaign feature on Glider AI, Glider AI may provide individuals’ email contact information via the platform, surfaced through Glider AI partnerships with third-party integrations, which can be used in outreach to potential candidates.

As part of this feature, Glider AI has the proper privacy controls in place — any individual can opt out of interactions with any company through the Glider AI platform and enforce their privacy settings. For example, if an individual has been contacted by one of Glider AI’s customers utilizing the Glider AI platform as part of an outreach campaign, the individual has the option to opt-out via an unsubscribe link in the outreach (ie. email). This unsubscribe is enforced for the whole company domain attempting to send correspondence to an individual.

Responsible AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been core to Glider AI since its founding in 2020. Glider AI is committed to the responsible and ethical use of AI to assist talent decision makers.
