Privacy Policy

This website, the DevScallix Academy learning platform (platform.devscallix.com) and the AI products (AI Interview Studio, AI Career Studio) are operated by DevScallix Technologies MMC (“DevScallix”), a technology company registered in the Republic of Azerbaijan, which is responsible for the processing of your personal data. This policy explains how your personal data is processed in these services. Cookies and browser storage are described separately in the Cookie Policy.

When you fill in the application form, DevScallix collects the information you enter: first and last name, email, phone, preferred contact channel and language, optional WhatsApp consent, age range, programming experience, optionally university and occupation, motivation and notes.

When you apply to the Engineering Residency as an external candidate: first and last name, email, an optional GitHub profile and a short description of your experience.

Your data is used only to review your application, contact you, run the admission process and provide the services. We do not sell your data.

Messages you write to the AI Advisor are sent to an AI service provider (currently OpenAI) to generate answers. OpenAI requests are sent without response storage (store: false). Conversations are not stored on our servers.

The conversation and the short profile you give about yourself (role, years of experience, goal — no contact details) are kept only in your browser for 7 days; you can delete them at any time with “Clear conversation”. We only count aggregate events (for example, how many conversations started).

An application or request is stored only when you confirm and send it yourself. When you send a request, the conversation summary shown to you is attached to it.

Only if you write to us on WhatsApp, your messages are processed by Meta and by our systems through the WhatsApp Business Platform. In that chat an AI Advisor answers (using the AI service provider above) and says so in its first message.

We do not keep the full conversation: only the minimum state needed to continue it (language, the last few messages, the application fields you have given, a request to talk to a person) is stored encrypted and deleted after 7 days of inactivity. We do not store your phone number for this purpose.

An application is sent and stored only after you reply “I confirm”. If you ask for a person, the conversation may be handed over to our team; the AI then stops replying.

Only if you write to us on Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct, your messages are processed by Meta and by our systems. In those chats an AI Advisor answers (using the AI service provider above) and says so in its first reply.

We do not keep the full conversation: only the minimum state needed to continue it (language, the last few messages, a request to talk to a person) is stored encrypted and deleted after 7 days of inactivity. We do not store the sender identifier Meta gives us as such, only a keyed, irreversible code derived from it. No application is submitted and no personal data is collected in these chats; for an application you are pointed to the form on this website.

When you send a consultation request, interest in a planned program, interview preparation, mentorship or a company request, we store: name, email, an optional phone number, company and team size, experience level, language and contact method, your message, the page and campaign parameters it came from, optionally the AI conversation summary and the skills assessment summary, and the version and time of your consent.

These details are stored in the Academy platform and used only to answer your request and to contact you through the channel you chose. The website itself does not store them.

Your skills assessment answers and report are kept only in your browser (the report for 60 days). Scoring happens on the server, but answers are not stored there and no name or contact details are required.

Written case-interview answers are sent to the AI service provider for grading and are not stored by us. A summary of the report is sent only if you choose to attach it to a request or an application.

Studio accounts, company workspaces, positions, interview processes, transcripts, code and diagrams, evaluations and reports are stored on the Academy platform; this website only relays them. For company interviews the company controls the data and sets the retention period; for personal practice you can delete your data at any time.

During an interview your voice is streamed to the AI service provider (OpenAI) to run the conversation. Video and audio are not recorded. In live stages the camera picture travels directly (peer-to-peer) between the people in the room.

The assessment uses only what you said and built; there is no face, voice, emotion or personality analysis. Objective session events (tab hidden, connection lost) are noted but never treated as proof of anything. The AI does not make hiring decisions; people do.

Your CV file (PDF/DOCX) is read in your browser and is not uploaded; PDF/DOCX exports are also created on your device. The CV is kept in this browser for 30 days only if you choose “Save on this device”, and is removed completely with “Delete all my data”.

AI features (splitting sections, improvement suggestions, job analysis) work only with your separate consent. The CV text is then sent to the AI service provider (OpenAI, without retention: store: false) with your name, email, phone and links removed; we do not store or log this text.

When you send a consultation request, your CV is not sent; you choose whether to attach the short summary shown to you (target role, match percentage, gaps).

The voice consultation (“Talk to AI”) uses your microphone only after you press the consent button. Audio is streamed in real time to the AI service provider (OpenAI) to generate answers. When a call starts, the last messages of the text chat in this browser and your short profile (without contact details) are sent to the AI for continuity. We do not store the audio; the transcript is shown on your screen and, when the call ends, added only to the text chat in your browser (7 days, removable with “Clear conversation”).

To prevent abuse, the number and length of voice sessions are limited; for this an irreversible pseudonym of your IP address (not the address itself) is kept in usage counters for 3 days, and only that pseudonym is sent to the provider.

Accounts on the platform (platform.devscallix.com) are created by invitation (students, instructors, staff); Interview Studio accounts are self-registered from the website. For an account we keep: name, email, optional phone, role, language preferences, sign-in times, records used to throttle failed sign-ins and registrations (a hash of the e-mail address, and the IP address) and an audit log of staff actions. Your password is stored only as a salted hash.

For students we also keep learning data: enrollments, attendance, assignment submissions and code, reviews and feedback, progress, competency evidence (Engineering Passport) and AI Mentor hints. The Engineering Passport and career profile are private by default; they are shared with employers only with your consent, through links you can revoke.

The platform also keeps account notifications and the history of your in-app inbox. Class recording is a platform feature that is not used at present; if a class is ever recorded, you will be told in advance.

Payments are currently accepted offline only (bank transfer, cash or card terminal) against an invoice issued by the Academy. Online card payment is not active; this policy will be updated when it is introduced. We never receive your card details.

We keep records of invoices, payments and refunds for accounting.

When you use Career Studio Premium, only the count of used actions is recorded on your account; your CV is not stored on our servers or linked to your account.

This site does not use advertising or tracking cookies and currently has no analytics or advertising trackers. Only strictly necessary cookies and browser storage (localStorage/sessionStorage) are used; the full list, purposes and durations are in the Cookie Policy. You can remove stored items at any time by clearing your browser data.

If analytics or advertising tools are added in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested first where required.

We share data only with providers needed to run the service: Amazon Web Services (hosting and backups), OpenAI (AI features), Zoho (ZeptoMail for sending service e-mails; Zoho Mail for the mailboxes that receive the e-mails you send us), and Meta (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram) only when you write to us there. No online payment provider is used at present.

Data may be disclosed to competent authorities where the law requires it.

The website and the platform run on Amazon Web Services in the EU (region eu-west-1, Ireland), behind Amazon CloudFront. Backups are kept in Amazon S3 in the same region. Your data is therefore stored outside Azerbaijan.

Data sent for AI features is processed by OpenAI in the USA. The Azerbaijani Law “On Personal Data” is the relevant national framework; where it requires your consent or other safeguards for such transfers, we will ask for the consent or apply the safeguards. We do not claim any registration or approval.

Applicant access tokens are valid for 90 days. WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram conversation state is deleted after 7 days of inactivity. Browser items and their durations are listed in the Cookie Policy. Backups: daily database dumps are kept for 35 days and server snapshots for 7 days; deleted data may remain in backups until they expire.

Application, account and learning records are kept while needed for the stated purpose. Invoice, payment and refund records are kept for as long as accounting and tax law requires.

To access, correct or delete your data, object to its processing or withdraw a consent you gave, contact us via our e-mail address info@devscallix.com, the contact form on this website or phone / WhatsApp +994 50 200 53 59.

We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

This policy may be updated as our services change. The date of the current version is shown at the top of the page.
