Your original CV is never sent to OpenAI

Last updated 17 September 2026

Identifying details are removed first

Screenswize reads each CV temporarily in server memory and removes detectable names, contact details, identity numbers, addresses, birth details, identifying links, references, and sensitive personal information. A privacy check blocks the request if direct identifiers remain. Only the cleaned, job-relevant text is sent for screening; the original PDF or DOCX never leaves Screenswize.

CV data is not retained

CV files, extracted or cleaned text, candidate identity details, and analysis results are not saved in the database, file storage, browser storage, queues, caches, audit logs, or telemetry. Results remain only on the current page and disappear when you navigate away or refresh.

What is retained

Screenswize retains vacancy definitions, organisation and account access records, and a minimal organisation-level usage ledger. The ledger contains request status, provider/model, token counts, estimated cost, and timestamps. It contains no candidate identity, CV content, vacancy reference, or analysis output. Minimal credit and payment records also retain checkout, order, subscription and invoice identifiers, payment status/mode, and allowance dates. Deletion never restores used credits or renews the 10-screen trial. Subscription allowances refresh only after successful monthly payment; top-ups carry forward. No payment card details or raw payment event payloads are stored.

AI processing

Screenswize uses the OpenAI text API with request storage disabled and does not upload CV files to the provider. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default. Provider retention settings are managed at the OpenAI account level.

Deletion

Recruiters can delete vacancies and results shown on screen. Organisation administrators can remove all organisation application data while retaining the account, access roles, organisation identifier, and minimal usage and payment ledger needed to keep the account operational.

Human oversight

Screenswize provides evidence-based decision support and does not make hiring decisions. Recruiters remain responsible for checking results and making every decision.
