HireVue's public notice covers website visitors and marketing contacts rather than job candidates, says nothing about whether data trains its models, gives no retention period, and claims ownership of all material generated from the Site or the Services.

What HireVue's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Candidates excluded

The notice explicitly does not apply to job applicants screened through the HireVue platform, pushing that data to contracts between HireVue and the employer.

Retention left open

Data is stored "for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected", with no number, no deletion timeline, and no shorter window for AI logs.

Ownership of generated material

The terms reserve to HireVue and its licensors the intellectual property rights in all material on and generated from the Site or the Services.
