Eightfold's recruiting platform notice earns a B. It grants a full set of data-subject rights, does not sell personal information or use it for behavioral advertising, and names a Subprocessor Notice plus EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework transfer safeguards. It also states that personal data is anonymized before any model training, so identifiable inputs are not used to train. Retention stays vague, and the notice says nothing about breach notification.

What Eightfold AI's privacy policy says about your data

Trains on anonymized data only

The model-building purpose states that personal data in any training dataset is anonymized by Eightfold with industry-standard techniques before use, so identifiable inputs are not used to train.

Does not sell or share for ads

Eightfold states it does not sell personal information for monetary payment and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. It still offers a Global Privacy Control and an opt-out path for the legal definitions of sale and sharing.

Full recruiting-relevant rights

The notice grants access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability of automated-means data, plus a right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing that produce a significant legal effect.

Retention left vague and no breach clause

Retention is described as as long as reasonably necessary, with no day-count or deletion timeline. The security section names firewalls and encryption generically and never commits to breach notification.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
