How do I delete candidate data?

Candidates and roles are deleted on request within 30 days. Deleting your own account queues a permanent purge of your personal data, after a grace window.

Deleting at each level

  • A candidate or a role — email privacy@hyretech.ai with what to delete. We erase it, and the scorecards produced from it, within 30 days of a verified request.
  • Your user account — deleting it in the product queues an irreversible purge of your personal data.

How long it takes

Account deletion takes effect immediately — subsequent authenticated requests fail — and queues a permanent purge that runs after a 30-day grace window. Erasure completes inside the 30-day service level either way.

The grace period exists so an account deleted by mistake can be recovered by contacting support before the purge runs. After it runs, nothing can be restored.

The privacy policy sets out retention for every category of data.

If a candidate asks you directly

For candidates you uploaded, you are the controller and we act on your instruction — forward the request to privacy@hyretech.ai and we action it within 30 days. For candidates who submitted through a HyreTech-hosted talent-pool page we are a joint controller and act on requests directly; send them to privacy@hyretech.ai.
