2. What Data We Collect

Account Data

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Name, email address, and password (hashed) during registration
  • Company name, size, and country during setup

Employee Data (uploaded by your organization)

Your organization may upload and manage the following employee information:

  • Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses
  • Job titles, departments, managers, start and end dates
  • Salaries, contract types, and identification numbers (DNI/NIE/DPI)
  • Emergency contacts

In this context, your organization is the data controller and Chronica is the data processor. We process this data only as instructed by your organization to deliver platform features.

  • Product usage data generated through your use of Chronica features

Website Visitor Data

On our public-facing pages (landing page, pricing, this page), we collect:

  • Pages visited, browser type, and device information (via LinkedIn Insight Tag and Google Analytics)
  • IP address (not stored long-term)

3. Why We Collect It

  • To provide our HR analytics and people management platform
  • To process your account registration and authentication
  • To enable your organization to manage employee data, surveys, assessments, payroll, and learning
  • To send transactional emails (invitations, password resets, assignment notifications, payslip notifications)
  • To improve our platform and fix issues
  • To comply with applicable labor laws

4. How We Use It

  • Your organization's data is only accessible to authorized users within your organization (multi-tenant isolation)
  • We use Stripe for payment processing — we never store credit card details
  • We use Resend for transactional email delivery
  • We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our public website pages (not inside the app) for anonymous visitor analytics
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We do not use your employee data to train AI models.

AI features (Ask Chronica, course generation) process your data in-session only via Anthropic's API, which does not retain inputs.

5. Data Storage and Security

All data is hosted on dedicated infrastructure on servers located within the European Union. We employ:

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit
  • Passwords hashed using industry-standard algorithms (bcrypt)
  • Multi-tenant architecture ensuring strict data isolation between organizations
  • Role-based access control limiting data visibility within your organization
  • Firewall protection and intrusion prevention
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
