How Zeeda Uses Applicant Data

Zeeda is used by employers to help structure interviews and summarise candidate responses. This page explains, in plain language, what information is collected during a Zeeda interview, how it's used, who can see it, and what choices you have.

What Information Is Collected?

Depending on the role and interview format, Zeeda may collect:

  • Your voice recording during the interview
  • Transcripts of what you say
  • Your responses to interview questions
  • Role-related assessments, such as summaries or competency scores
  • Basic technical metadata (e.g. interview completion time)

We do not collect sensitive personal characteristics such as race, religion, health data, or political views.

When You Upload Your Resume

Choosing a resume keeps it on your device until you tick the acknowledgement and select Continue. Continue sends it for processing to suggest your first name, last name, email, phone number and LinkedIn link. You can check and change these details. Anthropic processes resume text, and sometimes the PDF itself, to find them. Word files may also be processed by ConvertAPI for conversion.

This initial autofill does not save a resume or draft application in Zeeda's application storage. When you submit, we save your resume if your profile does not already have one; otherwise we keep the existing resume. AI assessment of your resume and interview helps the employer review your application. People make all hiring decisions.

How Your Information Is Used

Your interview data is used to:

  • Generate interview transcripts
  • Summarize your responses
  • Highlight job-relevant skills and experience
  • Assist hiring teams in reviewing candidates consistently

AI-generated insights are advisory only. Hiring decisions are always made by humans.

Who Can See Your Information?

Access to your data is limited to:

  • The employer you are interviewing with
  • Authorized personnel at Zeeda who support the platform

Zeeda does not sell candidate data or allow it to be used for advertising.

Employers may export or store interview results within their own recruitment systems, subject to their own privacy policies.

How AI Is Used

Zeeda uses AI systems to transcribe interviews and generate structured summaries.

These systems do not make hiring decisions and do not automatically reject or advance candidates.

Human reviewers can always override or disregard AI-generated insights.

How Long Your Data Is Kept

Interview recordings and related data are retained only as long as necessary for recruitment and legal purposes.

Zeeda is working towards a 12 month default retention period. Until then, you can request deletion of your data at any time.

For full retention details, see our Privacy Policy.

Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your data
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Object to certain processing activities
