Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 September 2026
1. Who We Are
MyRecruiterCheck ("we", "us") operates from the Netherlands and is the data controller for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. What Data We Collect
- Account data: email address, full name, authentication data.
- Newsletter data: email address, consent wording and consent date when you choose to subscribe.
- Product feedback: ratings and comments you voluntarily provide after a Recruiter Check, plus your first name and target job title when you permit us to feature a review.
- Content you submit: your CV, job descriptions, and any generated feedback and documents.
- Application outcomes: only if you opt in after a check. Whether you applied, how you applied, how far the application got, how many days the employer took to reply, and any salary offered.
- Profile details: only if you choose to add them in Account settings. Your target role, level, country, years of experience, industry, employment status, highest education, and whether you need a work permit.
- Payment data: handled directly by Stripe. We do not receive or store your card details.
- Usage data: log data, device and browser information, and cookies necessary to operate the Service.
3. How We Use Your Data
We process your data to:
- Provide the Service, including generating your interview score, feedback, and tailored documents;
- Process payments for check pack purchases;
- Maintain the security and integrity of the Service;
- Review check results, including your feedback and the job description, and use voluntary product feedback and application outcomes, to maintain and improve the quality of the Service. We will not publish your comment without your permission, and application outcomes are only ever published in anonymised, combined form;
- Where you have separately opted in to research in Account settings, use your checks with your name, email and the employer removed to improve the Service and to produce anonymous job market insights that may be published. This does not include training AI models, and you can withdraw at any time;
- Communicate with you about your account or the Service.
Our legal basis for this processing is the performance of our contract with you (our Terms of Service), and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Service.
4. AI Processing
To generate your feedback, score, and documents, your CV and job description are sent to our AI provider for processing. This data is used solely to generate your results and is not used by us to train models.
5. Who We Share Data With
We share data with the following processors, only as needed to run the Service:
- Supabase: database, authentication, and file storage hosting;
- Our AI provider: generating feedback, scores, and tailored documents;
- Stripe: payment processing for check pack purchases.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. International Transfers
Some of our processors may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your data.
7. Data Retention
Your original uploaded CV and any documents we generate for you (tailored CV, cover letter, recruiter message) are automatically and permanently deleted from our storage within 24 hours of being processed. The results of a check, meaning your Interview Score, feedback, job title, company name, and the job description you provided, are retained for as long as your account is active, so you can review your check history.
If you opt in to the application follow up, we email you once, three weeks after the check. Your answers are kept for as long as your account is active. You can stop the follow up at any time from the link in that email, and we will not ask again.
If you opt in to research, withdrawing takes effect immediately and your checks are left out of any work that follows. Insights already published cannot be unpublished, because they contain no personal data and cannot be traced back to you.
Profile details you add in Account settings are kept until you change or delete them. Deleting them removes the record of your consent along with the details themselves.
You can permanently delete your account and all remaining data at any time from Account settings. This immediately and permanently removes your data from our systems, except where we are required to retain limited records (e.g. billing history) for legal or accounting purposes.
8. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate data;
- Erase your data (see Account settings for self service deletion);
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Receive your data in a portable format;
- Lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or your local supervisory authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@myrecruitercheck.com.
9. Cookies
We use only the cookies strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to operate the Service. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
10. Security
We use industry standard technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit, to protect your data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at individuals under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
13. Contact
For any privacy questions, contact us at support@myrecruitercheck.com.
14. Browser Extension
The MyRecruiterCheck browser extension reads the job posting on the page you are currently viewing only when you explicitly click "Capture this job." It never runs in the background and never scans pages you have not asked it to read.
The extension captures, at most:
- The job title, company name, and job description text visible on the page;
- The URL of the page you captured the job from.
The extension never collects:
- Your browsing history, cookies, passwords, or clipboard;
- Your LinkedIn profile, connections, messages, or any social/networking data;
- Any content from pages other than the one you explicitly capture.
The extension maintains its own sign-in, separate from your browser session on this website, connecting it does not give it access to your password. A captured job is stored temporarily (for up to 48 hours, or until you use it to start a Recruiter Check, whichever is sooner) and is then permanently deleted.
