This Acceptable Use Policy states, in plain language, the conduct rules for everyone who uses Luminid: job seekers, employers, recruiters, and visitors. It is part of our Terms of Service (see the Prohibited Conduct section there for the full legal list). Where this policy and the Terms overlap, the stricter rule applies.
Luminid exists to replace claims with evidence. Every rule below protects that. If a behavior would make a verification mean less, it is not allowed here.
Be yourself, and only yourself.
A verification is a record that a specific person demonstrated a specific skill. Impersonation breaks that record for everyone, so it results in immediate account termination and invalidation of every affected result.
Simulation responses must be your own independent work, produced during the session, without help from other people or tools, unless the simulation instructions expressly permit a specific resource.
Luminid uses technical integrity measures during simulation sessions. Violations lead to score invalidation, and, where a result was already shared or relied upon, notification to affected parties.
Do not harvest data from Luminid.
Public pages exist so that individual people can confirm individual claims. They are not a dataset.
Employers and recruiters on Luminid must not use verification results, profile data, or anything else obtained through the platform to discriminate against any job seeker on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, pregnancy, marital or family status, veteran status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
A verification is evidence about a piece of work. It is never a proxy for who someone is, and it must never be used to infer or filter on a protected characteristic. Employers must apply meaningful human review to every hiring decision, must not auto-reject anyone based solely on an automated score, and are responsible for complying with the employment and anti-discrimination laws of every jurisdiction where they hire, including AI-in-hiring disclosure and audit laws where they apply.
Employers additionally must not post job listings that are not genuine open positions, must not charge job seekers any fee at any stage, and must not use job-seeker data for anything beyond the specific hiring process it was shared for.
A simulation is a work sample, not a work order. Employers who create or attach simulations must follow all of these rules:
Luminid reviews simulations against these rules and removes the ones that break them. An employer who uses a simulation to obtain real work loses access to the responses and faces suspension or termination. The people who did the work never bear the cost of an employer's violation.
For everyone:
We enforce this policy with the smallest action that protects the integrity of the platform, and we escalate when the violation is deliberate or repeated. Depending on severity, enforcement can include:
If your account is suspended and you believe we got it wrong, you can appeal following the suspension appeals process in the Terms of Service. To report a violation by someone else, email hello@luminid.org with the subject line "Acceptable use report". Reports are read by a person.
