Privacy policy
Last updated 22 October 2026
This explains what AgentArena collects, why, who it is shared with, and the controls you have. We kept it plain on purpose. Most of it can also be seen and changed under Settings, Privacy and monitoring.
What we collect
- Your account: email address, a hash of your password (never the password itself), and the profile details you give during onboarding such as your background and target roles.
- Your practice: everything you do in a session is recorded so it can be scored and replayed: the messages you send the agent, the files it and you edit, commands you run, test results, quiz answers, hints used, and the report built from them.
- Things you add: a resume you upload or paste, answers you write for communication practice, notes, calendar items and job descriptions you scan.
- Usage data: which pages and features are used, with no page content, answers or code. You can turn this off in Settings, which also deletes what was collected.
- Monitoring signals in timed assessments and mock interviews, and optionally in practice: how many times the page lost focus, how long a paste was (never what was pasted), and leaving fullscreen.
The camera and microphone
The camera check is off unless you turn it on. If you do, your video is analysed inside your browser to notice when no face, or more than one face, is in view. No image, video or audio is sent to us or stored. Only the fact that no face was seen for some seconds is recorded. Some browsers cannot run this check, in which case nothing is checked.
Speech-to-text uses your browser's own speech service. Depending on your browser, that service may send your audio to its provider to turn it into text. AgentArena never receives audio; only the text you choose to submit.
How we use it
- To run the product: start sandboxes, score sessions, build your reports, progress and readiness estimates.
- To send emails you asked for: verification, password reset, and reminders or a weekly report if you turn them on.
- To keep tests fair: timed tests run in lockdown, so pasting text from outside the test and leaving the test window take marks off the score, with each deduction shown beside your result. Other monitoring signals are shown with a result for a person to review; they are signals, not a verdict.
- To find and fix problems, and to stop abuse and runaway cost.
We do not sell your data and we do not show advertising.
Who it is shared with
- The AI provider. What you type to the agent, the code in your session, and text you submit for feedback is sent to our language-model provider (currently Anthropic's Claude models through Amazon Bedrock, with Groq as a backup when Bedrock is unavailable) to produce replies, hints, scoring comments and your coach narrative. Do not put secrets or other people's personal data into a session.
- Our email provider (currently Resend) receives your email address and the message to deliver.
- Our hosting. The servers that run the service store the data above.
Your resume and answers are not shared with employers or other users. The one exception is a Battle: your opponent sees your display name, how many hidden tests your latest run passes on each problem, whether you have handed a problem in, and the final scores and judging notes. They never see your code. We may disclose data if the law requires it.
Where code runs
Each session runs in its own throwaway container with no network access. The container, and the files in it, are deleted when the session ends. What stays is the record of the session (see above) so you can review it.
How long we keep it
- Monitoring signals and solution fingerprints are deleted after 90 days.
- Usage data is deleted after 12 months.
- The rest stays until you delete it or your account.
- Database backups are kept for up to six months and then expire.
Your choices
- Download everything we hold about you, and delete your account and its data, from Settings.
- Turn usage data, optional monitoring and the camera check off, and delete monitoring data, in Settings.
- Delete your resume from Career.
- Turn reminders and the weekly report off in Settings.
Depending on where you live you may have further rights, such as correction or objection. Ask and we will respond.
Cookies
We use one cookie to keep you signed in. It is strictly necessary, so there is no cookie banner. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Security
Passwords are hashed, traffic is encrypted in transit, and access to the admin area is limited to named people. No system is perfectly secure, so keep your password private and tell us if you suspect a problem.
Children
AgentArena is not meant for people under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before it takes effect. Questions or requests: use the feedback option inside the app.
