Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 27, 2026 | Last Updated: July 28, 2026 Thomas Abram, LLC | privacy@abram.network


1. Overview

Thomas Abram, LLC ("ABRAM," "we," "us," or "our") operates the ABRAM creative intelligence platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Platform.

We comply with applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR (EU/EEA), UK GDPR, CCPA (California), and applicable US state privacy laws.


2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account information: Name, email address, role (Client/Contractor), profile photo.
  • Professional profile: Skills, experience, portfolio links, availability, hourly rates, location.
  • Resume & documents: Uploaded resume files (parsed by AI), certifications, portfolio materials.
  • Project information: Project briefs, deliverables, work orders, call sheets, run-of-shows.
  • Financial information: Bank account details (via Stripe), billing information, billing address (used to calculate applicable sales tax on subscription purchases), invoices, transaction records. Payments between users are processed on the payment recipient's own Stripe account; identity and banking details you provide during Stripe onboarding are collected by Stripe as the account provider, not by ABRAM.
  • Communications: Messages, invitations, and notifications sent through the Platform.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, time spent, click patterns.
  • Device & technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers.
  • Calendar data: Events and availability from connected calendars (Google/Microsoft).
  • Log data: Error logs and API call logs processed via Sentry for error monitoring.

2.3 Log Data and Diagnostics (Crash Reports)

When you encounter an error or crash while using the Platform, we automatically collect diagnostic information ("Crash Reports"). This includes your web browser type, operating system, preferred language, screen dimensions, the exact page URL you were visiting, the error message, and a technical stack trace. If you are logged into your account, this diagnostic data may be associated with your User ID to help our team debug and resolve the issue.

Crash Report data may also include React component tree information captured at the time of the error, which could in limited circumstances contain data you had entered immediately before the crash. We process this data solely to identify, diagnose, and resolve technical issues. This data is processed under Legitimate Interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) as described in Section 3.

2.4 Information From Third Parties

  • WorkOS: Authentication identity, organization membership, SSO session data.
  • Stripe: Payment confirmation, payout status, account verification status.
  • Frame.io: Project and media asset metadata when Frame.io is connected.
  • Slack: Workspace identity when Slack notifications are enabled.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes. Where ABRAM relies on legitimate interest as a legal basis, we have conducted and documented a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA) confirming our interests are not overridden by your rights. You may request a copy by contacting privacy@abram.network.

4. AI & Automated Processing

ABRAM uses artificial intelligence and automated processing as core functions of the Platform.

4.1 What We Process With AI

Your data may be processed by AI systems to: parse your resume to extract skills and attributes; analyze project briefs; match you to projects or contractors; generate call sheets, run-of-shows, and project summaries; power the ABRAM AI Assistant; and index documents into your organization's knowledge base.

4.2 Company Brain (Private Organizational Knowledge)

Your organization's Company Brain is a private, organization-specific knowledge base. Data uploaded to the Company Brain:

  • is not shared with other users or organizations;
  • is never used to train ABRAM's shared AI models regardless of your AI training consent setting; and
  • is stored and processed solely to power AI features within your organization's account.

4.3 Automated Decision-Making & Your Rights (GDPR Article 22)

While ABRAM's matching and recommendation features involve automated processing, final hiring and engagement decisions are made by human users. If you believe an automated process has significantly and adversely affected you, you may contact legal@abram.network to request human review of the relevant automated output. We will respond to human review requests within 30 days.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use Google Analytics to understand Platform usage and measure traffic. To manage cookie preferences in compliance with Google Consent Mode v2, we utilize a Consent Management Platform (CMP). Cookies are categorized as:

Under our Google Consent Mode v2 configuration, all optional consent parameters (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage) default to a 'denied' state unless the user explicitly grants consent in the cookie banner. These optional categories are only activated if you choose to opt in. Upon your first visit, a cookie consent banner will be displayed. You may Accept All, Reject All, or manage and customize preferences by category. Accept and Reject options are presented with equal visual prominence, and no optional categories are pre-selected. Your consent preferences are saved in your browser's local storage (localStorage) and can be updated or revoked at any time via the 'Cookie Settings' button in the footer.
