4.1 Overview
TalentStream partners with technology companies that develop artificial intelligence systems. With your explicit, voluntary consent — obtained separately from your consent to be interviewed — we may share Anonymized Data derived from your interview recording with these companies for AI research and development.
TalentStream receives compensation from Recipients for providing Anonymized Data. Under certain privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this exchange may constitute a "sale" of personal information. We disclose this openly and provide you with the right to opt out. See Section 10.2 for details.
4.2 What Data Is Shared
We share:
- Video recordings of your interview (including your visual image, facial appearance, and body language)

Important disclosure regarding biometric data: Although we remove directly identifying information, the Anonymized Data still contains your face and voice, which are biometric in nature. We disclose this to you so that your consent is fully informed. Recipients are contractually prohibited from using biometric data to attempt to identify you.
4.3 Who Receives This Data
We share Anonymized Data only with vetted technology companies that meet all of the following criteria:
- Reputable entity: The Recipient is an established technology company with a legitimate AI research or development program.
- Not a foreign adversary: The Recipient is not controlled by, headquartered in, or subject to the jurisdiction of a country designated as a foreign adversary under the Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act (PADFA), including the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, the Republic of Cuba, and the Maduro regime of Venezuela.
- Bound by DPA: The Recipient has executed a Data Processing Agreement with TalentStream that imposes binding obligations regarding data use, security, retention, and destruction.

- Using Anonymized Data to develop products that primarily target or harm individuals in the demographic groups represented in the data
4.5 Consent Requirements
Your consent to AI research data sharing is:
- Voluntary: You are never required to consent. Declining does not affect your interview, your candidacy, your access to our Services, or any employment decision.
- Separate: AI data sharing consent is obtained through a separate, clearly distinguished consent mechanism (a separate checkbox) from your consent to be recorded for recruitment purposes.
- Informed: Before consenting, you are provided with a clear description of what data will be shared, who will receive it, how it will be used, and your rights, including links to this Privacy Policy.
- Specific: Your consent authorizes only the specific data sharing described in this section and in the consent language presented to you.
- Revocable: You may withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 4.6).
4.6 Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent to AI research data sharing at any time by emailing
support@talentstream.co with the subject line "Withdraw AI Data Sharing Consent" and including your name and the email address associated with your TalentStream account.
Upon receiving your withdrawal request:
- We will confirm receipt within 5 business days.
- We will cease sharing your Anonymized Data with any new Recipients.
- We will instruct existing Recipients to delete your Anonymized Data in accordance with their DPA obligations.
Limitation on withdrawal: Data that has already been incorporated into trained AI models (i.e., used as training data to adjust model weights) cannot be individually extracted, identified, or removed from those models. This is a technical limitation of how machine learning systems work, not a policy choice. We disclose this limitation to you so that your consent is fully informed. Withdrawal of consent prevents all future sharing and triggers deletion of unprocessed copies, but cannot reverse incorporation into existing trained models.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of third parties:
- Hiring companies: We share your name, email, resume, interview recording, interview evaluation, and related application materials to facilitate the hiring process for positions you have applied for or been recommended for.
- AI technology companies (Recipients): Anonymized Data only (video, audio, transcript with identifying information removed). Only with your separate, explicit consent. For AI research and development as described in Section 4.
- Cloud service providers: All data stored on our platform is hosted by our cloud infrastructure provider for data storage, processing, and security. Providers act as sub-processors under DPAs.

- Business transfers: All personal information in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy.
We do not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to data brokers, advertising networks, or marketing companies. The only "sale" (as defined under applicable law) of personal information we engage in is the AI research data sharing described in Section 4, which requires your prior explicit consent and from which you may opt out at any time.
6. Data Retention and Destruction
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. Our specific retention periods are:
- Interview recordings (recruitment): Up to 3 years from interview date, or when the initial purpose for collection has been satisfied, or upon your request — whichever comes first.
- Anonymized Data shared with Recipients: Per DPA terms (up to 5 years). Expiration of the DPA term, or upon consent withdrawal (for new sharing). Existing Recipients are instructed to delete per DPA terms.
- Contact and application information: Up to 5 years from last interaction, or upon your deletion request, whichever comes first.
- Consent records: 7 years minimum, required for legal compliance, audit defense, and regulatory inquiries. Retained even after other data is deleted.
- Automatically collected data: Up to 2 years from collection date.
6.1 Destruction Methods
When personal information reaches the end of its retention period or is subject to a valid deletion request, we destroy it using the following methods:
- Digital recordings and files: Cryptographic erasure or secure overwrite methods that render data permanently unrecoverable, applied to all copies including primary storage, backups, disaster recovery systems, and caches.
- Database records: Permanent deletion from all databases with verification that records cannot be restored from backups within 90 days.
- Third-party copies: Written instruction to Recipients and service providers to delete the data, with confirmation of deletion required under our DPA terms.
Destruction timeline: Destruction is completed within 30 days of the triggering event, except where technically impracticable (e.g., data in encrypted backup tapes that are overwritten on a regular cycle, typically within 90 days).
7. Biometric Data Practices
This section serves as TalentStream's biometric data policy as required by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14/), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §503.001), the Washington Biometric Identifier statute (RCW 19.375), and other applicable biometric privacy laws.
7.1 Biometric Data We Collect
Through our video interview platform, TalentStream collects biometric data in the form of:
- Facial geometry: The geometric patterns, measurements, and spatial relationships of your facial features as captured in video recordings.
- Voiceprint characteristics: The acoustic patterns, frequency distributions, and temporal characteristics of your voice as captured in audio recordings.
This biometric data exists within interview recordings as a natural consequence of video and audio capture. TalentStream does not independently extract biometric templates (such as faceprint vectors or voiceprint models) from interview recordings for its own recruitment purposes.
7.2 Purpose of Biometric Data Collection
Primary purpose (recruitment): Biometric data is collected as part of the interview recording process for the purpose of evaluating your candidacy for employment opportunities.
Secondary purpose (AI research, consent required): With your separate, voluntary, written consent, Anonymized Data containing biometric data may be shared with Recipients for AI research and development as described in Section 4.
7.3 Disclosure of Biometric Data
TalentStream does not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric data except as follows:
- AI research data sharing: Only with your separate, explicit, written consent, and only to Recipients who have executed a DPA. This disclosure is described in detail in Section 4.
- Hiring companies: Interview recordings (containing biometric data) are shared with hiring companies for the purpose of evaluating your candidacy.
- Service providers: Cloud infrastructure providers that host recordings on our behalf under contractual data protection obligations.
- Legal requirements: When required by law, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
7.4 Biometric Data Retention and Destruction
Retention: Biometric data (in the form of interview recordings) is retained for up to 3 years from the interview date for recruitment purposes, or for the duration of the applicable DPA term for AI research purposes (up to 5 years).
Destruction trigger: Biometric data is permanently destroyed when the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such data has been satisfied, or within 3 years of your last interaction with TalentStream, whichever occurs first, unless a longer period is authorized by your consent or required by law.
Destruction method: Cryptographic erasure or secure overwrite, applied to all copies. Destruction is completed within 30 days of the triggering event.
Protection standard: We store, transmit, and protect biometric data using a standard of care that is the same as or more protective than the standard we apply to other forms of confidential and sensitive information.
7.5 Biometric Consent
Before collecting biometric data, we provide you with: (1) written notice that biometric data will be collected (via the interview lobby consent screen); (2) identification of the specific biometric data being collected (facial geometry and voiceprint); (3) the specific purpose for collection (recruitment evaluation and, if separately consented, AI research); (4) the retention period and destruction schedule; and (5) a link to this Privacy Policy.
Your affirmative action in checking the consent checkbox constitutes your informed, written consent as required by applicable biometric privacy laws, including BIPA. Consent for AI data sharing is obtained through a second, separate checkbox as described in Section 4.5.
8. Data Security
We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Technical safeguards:
- Encryption at rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data, including interview recordings and personal information.
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2 or higher for all data transmitted between your device, our platform, and our infrastructure.
- Access controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) limiting data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all staff accounts.
- Infrastructure: Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with industry-standard physical, environmental, and network security controls.
- Monitoring: Continuous security monitoring, intrusion detection, and automated alerting for suspicious activity.
Organizational safeguards:
- Personnel: All TalentStream employees and contractors with access to personal information are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive regular data protection training.
- Vendor management: Third-party service providers are vetted for security practices and bound by data processing agreements.
- Incident response: We maintain a documented incident response plan. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and applicable regulatory authorities as required by law.
Limitation: While we take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
