Privacy

If you fill in the Request Access form, we collect the name, email address and message you enter, and the date you submitted it. That is all the form asks for.

We also run our own first-party analytics on this website: which pages are visited, the country, region and city the visit comes from, and how the visitor arrived (for example a search engine or a link). This runs only if you allow analytics in the privacy banner, uses a random anonymous identifier stored in your browser, and your IP address is never stored. You can change your choice any time from Cookie settings in the footer; see our Cookie Policy for details. There are no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics scripts, and we do not track you across other sites.

To reply to you about access to Stratum, and to keep a record of who asked so a request does not get lost or answered twice. We do not use it for anything else, and we do not send marketing to people who have not asked for it.

Submissions are stored in our database, hosted by Supabase on infrastructure in the United States. Access is limited to the Stratum team.

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We use a small number of service providers to run the site and store data, and they may process your information only to provide that service to us.

We keep a request for as long as we may reasonably need it to follow up with you and to keep a record of the conversation. If you would like yours deleted sooner, ask us and we will remove it. Visitor analytics records are deleted after 13 months.

Email privacy@stratumcomp.com and we will tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You do not need a reason, and asking costs you nothing.

This page is about the public website. Compensation and employee data that a customer puts into the Stratum product is a separate matter, governed by our agreement with that customer.

In the product, each company’s data is isolated from every other company’s, access is limited to the people who need it, and Stratum takes in only the data a compensation workflow actually requires rather than everything an HRIS holds. We plan to pursue SOC 2 as Stratum moves toward broader production use.

When an analyst asks Stratum to read a candidate’s evidence, the resume, interview scorecard and job description text they entered is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to produce that assessment, with the candidate’s name replaced before it is sent. Only the candidate’s name is replaced: any other name in those documents, such as an interviewer’s, is sent as written. This happens only when the analyst asks for a read. From that read, Stratum keeps only the ratings the analyst confirms and the lines quoted.

When you use the Agent, your questions, counts and summaries from your data, the salary ranges and framework answers it looks up and, when you ask about a decision, that decision’s analysis and saved rationale are sent to Anthropic (Claude). Stratum identifies employees by ID and replaces the full names of employees and candidates it recognizes from your data before anything is sent. A name written another way in text you typed (a first name, a nickname, or someone who is not in your employee data) is sent as written. Lists of employees shown in the Agent are built in your browser and are not sent.

When you connect Stratum to another AI tool such as Claude or ChatGPT, your questions and Stratum’s replies pass through that tool under its own privacy terms. Stratum sends it the same reply text you would see on the Agent page, never employee lists or chart data. You can disconnect a tool at any time from My profile.

If your company adds Stratum to Slack, Stratum answers in the Slack thread or direct message where it was asked. An answer in a channel is visible to everyone in that channel, so ask in a direct message when an answer is only for you. Stratum does not answer in a channel shared with another company. Stratum reads only messages that mention it, its own direct messages and the /stratum command, never the rest of a channel, and each person can disconnect their own Slack from My profile, and a workspace admin can remove Stratum from Slack on the Connectors page.

If we start collecting something new, or use what we collect differently, we will update this page and change the date below before we do.
