Summary

This is the privacy policy for Greenhouse Software, Inc., a recruiting and hiring software company, covering how Greenhouse collects and uses Personal Information from visitors to its marketing website, its own job applicants, business contacts, and users of the MyGreenhouse individual job-search service. For MyGreenhouse users, the policy discloses that Greenhouse may use personal data including resumes, contact details, and job preferences to develop and train AI models, in addition to facilitating job applications and providing recommendations. EEA, Swiss, and UK users of MyGreenhouse who object to their data being shared with potential employers may opt out via a dedicated link within the MyGreenhouse platform or by emailing job-seeker-optout@greenhouse.io, while users outside those regions are directed to close their account to stop such sharing.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This Privacy Policy, last updated May 28, 2026, governs Greenhouse Software, Inc.'s collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information in four contexts: as a processor for customer recruiting workflows, as a controller in B2B commercial relationships, as a controller in its own employment context, and as a controller for the MyGreenhouse consumer job-search service. The policy states that Greenhouse does not sell Personal Information of job candidates or individuals with whom it has no direct relationship, and that data subjects may exercise access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection rights via a Data Subject Request Portal. A materially significant provision authorizes Greenhouse to use MyGreenhouse users' Personal Information to develop and train artificial intelligence models and automated systems, a disclosure that is operationally distinct from standard recruiting platform privacy terms and raises questions about the scope of AI training consent for individual job seekers. The policy engages GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA as amended by CPRA, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF; Greenhouse states FTC investigatory and enforcement jurisdiction applies to its DPF compliance obligations. Compliance considerations include the adequacy of consent mechanisms for AI model training under GDPR and CPRA, the sufficiency of the MyGreenhouse opt-out mechanism for EEA and UK users as an alternative to account closure, and Greenhouse's stated responsibility for onward transfers to third parties under DPF Principles.
