Most AI products bolt on a privacy policy at the end. Piaar designed the matching engine around privacy in the first place. Here's what that means in practice.
The EU AI Act requires that high-impact AI systems are transparent about how they work. Piaar operates as a transparency-focused AI system, providing explainable matching logic and user-controlled discovery.
GDPR isn't a checkbox for us — it's home turf. The platform is built and hosted in Sweden, with EU region pinning for all user data and a strict consent-based processing model.
Privacy-by-architecture means privacy isn't enforced by policy alone. It's enforced by how the system is built — at the query layer, at the storage layer, at the deployment layer.
A short list because we want it to be checkable. If you ever find us violating one of these, write to us — we'll publish the fix or explain why we can't.
Request it through the in-app support flow, get a plain-language breakdown within 30 days, as required by the AI Act for affected users.
Not to advertisers, not to recruiters, not to data brokers. Not as part of any acquisition without explicit user re-consent.
Your Piaar profile is what you put in Piaar. We don't import from LinkedIn, GitHub, or anywhere else without your direct action.
Significant changes to how matching works get a changelog entry. If a score on your profile would change materially, you'll know why.
Profile deletion removes your row within 24 hours and downstream matches within 7 days. We retain only the minimum needed for legal compliance, and only as long as needed.
Data lives in EU-region Firebase. No transfers to jurisdictions without adequate protection. Schrems II compliance is the baseline, not the ceiling.
No banner ads, no sponsored matches, no native ads dressed as content. The business model isn't your attention.
If we experience a data incident affecting users, you'll hear from us within 72 hours, and a public post-mortem follows once we understand the scope.
The features we said no to are as much a part of the product as the ones we said yes to.
"You've been on a 7-day streak" is a gambling mechanic with a friendlier name. We don't use them.
If we haven't heard from you in a week, we won't ping you with a manufactured reason. We trust you to come back when it's useful.
No infinite scroll, no engagement-optimized timeline. Matches are ranked by mutual fit, and that's it.
You'll never see a higher-ranked profile because someone paid for it. The ranking is the ranking.
No pre-checked consent boxes, no "remind me later" buttons hidden in grey. Decline is as easy as accept.
No pixel on partner sites, no shared advertising ID, no cohort analysis sold to third parties.
If a match score looks wrong, a feature feels off-mission, or a privacy commitment looks like it's been broken — write to us. We answer everything.
