This page explains the rights you have over the personal data HiringScout processes about you — including the audio, video, and screen recordings, AI-generated evaluations, attention-monitoring outputs, and session-integrity logs collected during an AI interview — and how to exercise them. It applies to candidates everywhere; some rights are specific to where you live, and those are called out below.
An AI system analyzes your interview responses and generates an evaluation score and written observations. The AI does not make a final hiring or rejection decision — a qualified human reviewer reviews all AI-generated outputs before any determination is made about your candidacy. The AI evaluates general characteristics such as the relevance, depth, and specificity of your answers; the evidence and outcomes behind them; your communication clarity; the skills you demonstrate; and indicators of demonstrated seniority.
Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Deletion — request deletion of your recording and all AI-generated analysis outputs. We fulfill verified deletion requests within 30 days, and instruct any party that received a copy of your recording to delete it as well.
Human review — ask for a qualified human to review any AI-assisted evaluation that affected a decision about your candidacy.
Withdraw consent — withdraw any consent you gave before the interview begins by closing the session, or afterward by contacting us.
Alternative assessment — request a human-only, non-recorded alternative at any time.
Data collected during an interview is retained for 360 days from the date of the interview and then permanently and irreversibly deleted, unless you request earlier deletion. Your data is never sold and is not used for advertising or commercial profiling.
If you reside in California, you have the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of automated decision-making for significant decisions (California CPRA and the CPPA ADMT Regulations). Under the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act, you can request deletion of your interview recording and AI outputs within 30 days, and your recording is shared only with those whose expertise or technology is necessary to evaluate you. If you applied to a role in New York City, you have the right to notice about the automated tools used and access to their audited results (NYC Local Law 144).
Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws, you may access, correct, and request deletion of your data, and withdraw consent. Quebec residents (Law 25) may additionally ask which personal information was used in an evaluation, the principal factors that influenced it, and for human review of any element involving automated processing. Complaints can be made to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca) or, in Quebec, the Commission d'accès à l'information (cai.quebec.ca).
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to know, correct, and erase your personal data, to raise a grievance with our Grievance Officer, to nominate another person to exercise your rights, and to escalate to the Data Protection Board of India. Consent is collected separately for each distinct purpose (recording, AI analysis, attention monitoring, and session integrity) and may be withdrawn at any time.
To make any request above, withdraw consent, or report a suspected privacy violation, contact sharma.ashish.mail@gmail.com. We respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.
