"Turing presents a critical privacy risk profile (86/100) comparable to Facebook/TikTok due to aggressive collection of sensitive personal data including race, gender, health information, government identification, and complete audio/video recordings; explicit sale of personal information to customers and advertising partners for behavioral advertising; and broad third-party sharing with minimal user control. The company operates a two-tiered system where affiliated persons (employees/contractors) have no privacy expectations and face comprehensive surveillance, while the opt-out mechanisms for data sale and targeted advertising are fragmented and do not prevent core monetization of user data. Vague retention periods, lack of data deletion mechanisms, and use of personal information for AI training without explicit consent compound these risks."
turing Privacy Concerns & Scorecard
Users cannot opt out of non-promotional communications or the sale of personal information to Turing customers. Opt-out mechanisms for targeted advertising exist but require separate action per browser/device and do not prevent data sale.
Data is collected from third-party sources about users without explicit user consent, including images of individuals collected from third-party providers and social media information (both public and private).
Turing explicitly sells personal information to customers for monetary or other consideration and shares sensitive data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising without explicit per-transaction consent.
Turing uses cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to enable cross-context behavioral advertising with sharing of tracking data to advertising partners and does not honor Do Not Track signals.
Policy uses vague language regarding purposes for data use, third-party access, and retention with broad terms like 'legitimate business purposes' that lack specificity.
Data retention periods are vague and indefinite, retained 'as long as necessary' for broad purposes including 'pursue legitimate business purposes' without specific time limits or automatic deletion mechanisms.

Cross-Platform Tracking
Turing tracks user behavior across the internet using cookies, pixel tags, and third-party tracking technologies to enable cross-context behavioral advertising and retargeting. Third-party advertising partners independently place tracking technologies alongside Turing's own tracking. Users are tracked separately per browser and device unless they opt out on each one individually, and Turing does not honor Do Not Track signals.
Tracking Methods:
Cookies
Persistent and session cookies placed on user devices to track behavior, maintain login state, and enable targeted advertising across Turing and partner sites
Pixel Tags / Web Beacons
Invisible tracking pixels embedded in emails and web pages to track page visits, email opens, advertisement clicks, and engagement metrics; third parties also place pixels independently
Third-Party Tracking Technologies
Advertising partners place their own tracking technologies on Turing pages and sites to collect IP address, cookie identifiers, pages visited, location, and time of day for behavioral profiling
Device & Browser Fingerprinting
Collection of browser type, operating system, device model, and other device characteristics to create unique device identifiers for tracking and targeting
AI & Data Training
turing uses your content to train AI
Below is what's used and how (if at all) you can object.
What Content Is Used
Audio and Video Recordings
Complete recordings of coding interviews including voice, video, screenshares, and transcripts are used to train and fine-tune AI models for interview analysis and assessment
Interview Transcripts
Transcripts of coding interviews and assessments are used to train AI models for analysis of candidate performance and automated interview scoring
Coding Assessment Results
Performance data, code submissions, test results, and coding ability assessments are used to train AI models for coding evaluation and talent prediction
Professional Information
CV, resume, employment history, skills, and professional background are used to train AI models for profile analysis and talent matching
How to Object
No opt-out available
This service does not currently provide a public way to opt out of AI training.
