Worker Rights

1. Your feedback is anonymous. Always.

When you submit an evaluation, an anonymous vote, or an anonymous report, your identity is protected by design — not by policy.

• Your employer cannot see who you rated or how you rated them.
• Your teammates cannot see who rated whom.
• TrueWork itself cannot reveal who wrote what without breaking the database-level locks that the Service runs on. We have not built a way to do this, and we will not.

The Service deliberately does not show "X of Y completed" or "who finished." That kind of participation tracking would be enough information to identify outliers by elimination. We don't show it, because we shouldn't be able to expose it.

2. Your record belongs to you

Your published evaluation history is yours. When you leave a workplace, your history goes with you. Your employer cannot delete it, edit it, or access it after you're gone.

With Employee Premium ($2.99/month, billed by Apple or Google — never by your employer), you can generate TrueResume share links: short-lived, verifiable URLs that show your aggregate record to anyone you choose. The link expires in 30 days; you regenerate it whenever you want; generating a new one invalidates the previous one.

3. Your history cannot be edited by anyone

Once a cycle is published, the result is locked. Not by policy — by the database itself. Update and delete operations on published results raise a database-level error. Nobody — not your employer, not TrueWork, not anyone with administrative access — can change a published cycle.

If a cycle was published with fewer than three evaluators, it is marked "skipped" and never produces a result that follows you. The minimum-three rule is a privacy floor: with fewer evaluators, an aggregate result is too easily traced back to individuals.

4. TrueWork never makes employment decisions

We are an evaluation tool, not a decision-maker. Your employer remains your employer. Hiring, promotion, scheduling, discipline, and termination decisions are theirs alone. We do not produce "fire/keep" recommendations. We do not transmit aggregate results to employers' systems beyond what's already shown in the app.

If an employer attempts to use TrueWork's results as the sole basis for an adverse employment decision — particularly without context, peer-context discussions, or the chance for you to respond — that conflicts with how the Service is designed to be used. We are happy to take such concerns seriously; see Section 9.

5. Your employer never sees raw feedback

Employers see only aggregate, anonymous results — averages computed across at least three evaluators. They do not see the individual 1–10 ratings that contributed. They do not see how many "not sure" responses there were. They do not see who participated.

Free-text feedback (when you give a teammate a rating of 5 or below, the Service asks "What should be improved?") is collected anonymously and aggregated with similar feedback, the same way numeric ratings are. Your specific words are never shown next to your name to anyone.

6. Your data is never sold

We do not sell your personal data. We do not run behavioral ad networks. We do not share evaluation content with any third party for marketing, training AI models, or analytics that profile individuals. We may publish anonymized aggregate research statistics (for example, "the average team in retail evaluates X criteria per cycle") that contain no personally identifiable information.

7. How to delete your account

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account inside the TrueWork app. Deletion is irreversible and takes effect within 24 hours:

• Your name, email, and phone number are removed.
• Your authentication credentials are revoked. You cannot sign in again with the same account.
• Your push notification tokens are removed.
• Your historical published cycles remain in the system in de-identified form. They are no longer associated with you and cannot be looked up by name. They are preserved at this point so that other employees' published cycles (which were computed when you participated) remain valid.

If you would like the de-identified historical records removed entirely, email hello@thetruework.com. We will process the request within 30 days. Note that this may invalidate historical aggregate results that other employees rely on for their own records.

8. How to request your data

You can view all of your own published evaluation results in the app at any time, including your time-weighted averages, per-criterion breakdowns, and growth patterns (Premium feature).

For a complete machine-readable export of all data we hold about your account, email hello@thetruework.com with the subject "Data export request." We will respond within 30 days with a downloadable archive.

9. How to report concerns

If you believe an employer or another user is misusing the Service — for example, attempting to identify anonymous evaluators, retaliating against employees for the content of evaluations, or pressuring people to rate in a particular way — we want to know. Email hello@thetruework.com with as much detail as you can share without revealing your own identity. We treat these reports as confidential and investigate every one.
