Who is Cube AI?
Cube AI allows businesses to seek feedback (“Tests”) on any brand, design, content, process, or current or potential offering and persons to take part in such Tests (“Participants”) to perform and record Tests. In doing so, Cube collects, records, and analyzes data about Participants, which may include individually identifiable information that would allow the Company to determine the specific identity of or contact information of a particular person, billing information, account settings, and other personal data.
Who is the data controller?
There are certain protection and privacy laws (such as the GDPR), which make a distinction between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A “controller” would decide how and why to process personal information. A “processor” instead processed personal information on behalf of a controller based on their instructions.
For Participants, Cube is the controller of the personal information collected from you by the Company, except for the information collected by our Clients through a Test. For Clients, you are the controller of the data collected for us to provide you with access to our Services, except for the IP address you use for access to the service, which we control.
How data is collected and used
As a Participant or Client, we collect personal data directly via use of automated technology. In order to remain accurate and precise to provide most relevant data and deliverables, we can combine information that which you provide with information from third parties, in accordance with applicable laws.
User Consent and Opt-Out:
Users provide explicit consent for data collection and processing at the time of registration. Users can withdraw consent or opt-out at any time by contacting Cube's support team. To opt out, please send us an email requesting to be deleted from our Cube database.
Encryption:
At Cube, we prioritize the security and confidentiality of your data. To achieve this, all our storage utilizes server-side encryption. This encryption method ensures that your data is automatically encrypted before it is stored and decrypted when accessed by authorized parties. This adds an additional layer of security, protecting your data from unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with industry standards for data protection.
Cube uses personal data for justifiable business purposes, including the following:
1) To allow you access to register as a Participant To provide deliverables to our Clients (including Participant recordings)
2) To allow our clients to understand how to optimize their advertising through attention and behavior insights
3) To improve user experience with our services To keep proper records as required by law for financial purposes and taxation
4) To understand technical functionality of our systems and to develop new products or services and to critically examine your use of our service
5) To communicate with you to provide client support to spot fraud, illegal activities, or security breaches
6) To make or receive payments or remunerations
7) To provide information, when necessary, to regulatory body
Data Anonymization/Pseudonymization:
When possible, Cube anonymizes or pseudonymizes personal data to protect user identities. This process ensures that data cannot be traced back to individual users without additional information.
Cube: Research and Development and your data
Cube software is constantly upgrading itself through extensive research into human behavior. As such, your data may also (along with its commercial component) be used for research into advancing the field of remote biometric research. This research is done with the highest standards of privacy and scientific validation towards the research process.
Data provided by or collected from our Participants (“Participant Data”)
Data Minimization:
Cube adheres to the principle of data minimization by collecting only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Unnecessary data is not collected or processed.
Recordings
A Participant taking part in a Test is recorded. Your activities, including any or all of the following: voice recordings, screen content, face recordings, screen recordings, browser content, screen interactions including mouse movement and clicking, text input, device configurations, and any background audio or video content (“Recordings”)
IP rights in the Recordings are assigned by Participant to Cube under the terms of the Participant Terms of Service in consideration for Participant’s use of the platform and services. Face recordings are owned by and controlled by the Client or Cube, as needed.
Cube uses Recordings to provide analysis to Clients, to market its own product/service, to protect against fraud, to improve our service, and for other justifiable business purposes.
What do we do with Face Recordings
Emotional Response Analysis Cube
We use the video recording of you face to infer emotional states (happiness, surprised, anger, fear, and disgust, negative valence, and positive valence) that you are experiencing during the event. This video will be accessible to our end customer (likely the website owner of the task you are doing) so that they can also see any insights that they can have, of your journey on their website, through qualitative means.
For commercials, the end customer does not view individual data, and cannot see your individual identifying data (i.e. name, face video, or email). Your data will be presented as aggregated data to our client.
Eye-tracking
Cube also uses the front facing camera to process your eye-movement so that we can display a visual representation to our customers of your eye-movement on their website. This allows for our customers to understand how consumers are reacting to certain parts of their design and if they are seeing items such as buttons. This data is represented to our customers as a moving circle around the screen that is mean to be an AI generated understanding of where you are looking.
It is possible in the future we will analyze your data for other biometric responses that allow our clients to get a better understanding of customers. These include may, blink rate, heart rate, breath rate and other responses available through this technology.
Email Addresses
Your email address is necessary for us to provide you with final payment upon successful completion of the test. Once payment is made, your email will be stored in our system to contact you for future testing. At which point you may or may not opt out.
Privacy and Minors
Cube does not accept Minors (children aged 17 and under) as Participants nor does it accept mandates for analysis of Child related products and services.
Data provided by Clients
While Clients use our service, their employees are sometimes asked to enter information such as name and contact details, including email address, address, telephone, or other personal data.
Client Data is used by Cube to identify each Client and provide them services, to bill Clients, and to meet Cube’s contractual obligations. This data is also used to improve our offerings and to provide Clients with notices about those improvements and for other justifiable business purposes.
It remains the Client’s obligation to make certain that collection and processing of Recordings from a mandated Test are handled in accordance with applicable laws.
Indirect collected Personal Data

Tests consist of short actions you can perform on a website or app. For example, you may be asked to browse for a product and add it to your cart, find a specific piece of information on a website, or simply answer a form. The tests are designed to mimic a website or system's functionality and user-friendliness.
CubeGO will automatically take you to the website where the task must be completed. You may be asked to answer a few questions before and/or after the test.

CubeGO records a video of your screen and a video of your face. These videos are then uploaded onto our servers. Videos of your face are not retained on our servers and are not shared with partners (i.e., CubeGO clients). Instead, we use your face video to extract emotions, and then plot them onto your screen video. Once the information has been extracted from your face video, your face video gets destroyed from our servers.
Videos of your screen may be shared with third-parties. For this reason, we encourage you to follow the instructions preceding each test to anonymize your phone screen. If any personal information should appear on your phone screen during a test, this information will be blurred or otherwise censored prior to sharing your screen video.
