- Introduction
Valid.it Evaluation Solutions Ltd. (also known as Validit Inc., “Valid.it,” “Company,” “We,” or “Us”) provides companies and organizations (“Our Customers” or “Your Organization”) with a mobile-based platform that enables remote, non-invasive integrity testing (the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains:
- The types of Personal Data we collect and process.
- How we handle Personal Data when providing our Platform and Services.
- Our role in processing Personal Data, including when we act as a Data Processor or a Data Controller.
- Your rights regarding your Personal Data and how you can exercise them.
- Additional privacy practices and safeguards we implement to protect personal data.
We prioritize transparency, so even when we act as a Data Processor (meaning when we process data strictly on behalf of our Customers), we provide information about how our Platform handles Personal Data.
- Our Role in Processing Personal Data
Valid.it acts in two different roles when processing Personal Data:
- When We Act as a Data Processor
In most cases, Valid.it functions as a Data Processor, meaning we process Personal Data exclusively on behalf of our Customers, following their instructions.
- Your Organization as the Data Controller: Your organization determines the purpose and legal basis for processing, provides privacy notices, and obtains consent (if required).
- Assessment Data: All data collected during assessments—including physiological indicators such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and other biometric-like data—is processed solely based on the instructions of our Customers and for their needs and purposes.
- No Independent Use: Valid.it does not collect, store, or use this data for its own purposes beyond fulfilling contractual obligations.
While this Policy provides clarity about how data is processed assessments and similar processes, it does not govern how Customers use that data or replace their privacy notices. Valid.it processes data solely on behalf of your organization as a Data Processor, and Your organization, as the Data Controller, is responsible for determining the lawful basis for processing, obtaining consent (if required), and providing privacy notices.
For more details on how your data is handled, please review your organization’s privacy policies. If you have any questions or requests regarding data processed on behalf of your organization, please contact your organization’s administrator.
- When We Act as a Data Controller
In certain limited cases, Valid.it acts as a Data Controller, such as when:
- You visit our Website and interact with our content.
- You contact us directly for inquiries or support.
- We process business contact details for contractual purposes.
- We process information related to Customer representatives, administrators, and users of our Platform.
In these cases, we determine the purpose of processing and are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws as a data controller, such as providing this Policy and ensuring that we are authorized to use the data.

- Use of Your Personal Data
- Processing Data on Behalf of Your Organization
All data collected as part of the assessment is processed solely on behalf of your organization using the Platform. Our solution applies integrity testing methodologies to assist Controllers in evaluating responses objectively and efficiently. For recruitment, insurance, or financial assessments, your organization determines the necessity, scope, and use of the results.
- Employee Recruitment: Your organization may request that you complete an integrity/reliability assessment as part of the hiring process. The assessment follows your organization’s instructions, and the results are returned to them for further decisions.
- Insurance Underwriting: Your insurance provider may require an assessment to verify details in your application. The assessment is conducted per their instructions, and results are sent back to them.
- Financial Statements: If you apply for financial services, your institution may request an assessment to confirm the accuracy of provided financial details. The results are returned to them for review.
In all cases, Valid.it does not make any decisions regarding your assessment—your organization, as the Data Controller, determines how to proceed.
