Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and DataDriven, Inc. ("DataDriven," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the DataDriven platform.

Effective date: March 15, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the DataDriven platform, website, mobile applications, APIs, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you are accessing the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.

2. Mission & Purpose

DataDriven, Inc. is a venture-backed workforce development company. Our mandate is to maximize the number of interview-ready data engineers entering the workforce by providing high-quality, accessible interview preparation infrastructure.

The Service is currently provided at no cost to individual candidates as part of our mission to close the preparation gap in data engineering hiring. This open-access model is a strategic decision aligned with our investors and board, not a promotional period. We reserve the right to introduce additional paid services in the future; however, any changes to the accessibility of existing features will be communicated with at least ninety (90) days' written notice.

3. Description of Service

DataDriven is an interactive platform for data engineering interview preparation. The Service includes, without limitation:

  • Structured learning content across SQL, Python, data modeling, and pipeline architecture
  • Coding challenges with real-time execution and automated grading
  • Interview simulations calibrated to company-specific patterns
  • Adaptive difficulty and spaced repetition systems
  • Skill assessments and readiness scoring
  • Career resources and interview strategy content

The Service is delivered through web applications at datadriven.io and mobile applications available on supported platforms. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.

4. Eligibility

The Service is intended for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is greater. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.
