Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 26, 2026

This policy covers the Feyther website and platform, including recruiting workflows powered by Feyther.

Plain English Summary

Here is the short version: we collect the information needed to run Feyther, including account details, recruitment materials, and product usage data.

We use that information to operate the platform, support recruiting workflows, improve our product, and communicate with you.

Feyther may use AI to generate summaries, scores, and recommendations, but employers and authorized users make the actual hiring and workflow decisions.

We do not sell personal data. We only share it with employers, customers, service providers, or legal authorities when there is a legitimate reason to do so.

If we enable analytics tooling such as PostHog, it will be used to understand product usage and improve the service, not to sell or broker your personal data.

1. Introduction

Feyther provides software for recruiting, candidate evaluation, hiring operations, and related workflow automation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you visit our website, use our platform, apply to roles powered by Feyther, or interact with us.

This policy applies to candidates, employers, recruiting teams, website visitors, and other users of Feyther services unless a more specific notice applies.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide may include your name, email address, account credentials, company details, job preferences, resume or CV, portfolio links, interview responses, assessment responses, and other materials you choose to upload or submit.

Information collected automatically may include device identifiers, browser type, IP address, pages visited, interactions with features, referral URLs, approximate location derived from IP, and cookie or local storage data used for authentication, security, and analytics.

We may also receive information from our customers, recruiting partners, referrals, identity providers, and public professional sources when needed to support recruiting workflows.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to provide and secure Feyther, create and manage accounts, process applications, coordinate interviews, communicate updates, and support employer and candidate workflows.

We use data to analyze resumes, generate summaries, support matching, produce recruiter-facing insights, detect fraud or misuse, comply with legal obligations, and improve our services.

We may use product analytics and telemetry to understand adoption, performance, and feature usage. If enabled, Feyther may use PostHog or a similar analytics provider for these purposes.

4. AI and Automated Processing

Feyther may use artificial intelligence and machine learning models to analyze resumes, summarize interviews, highlight relevant skills, generate recommendations, and help recruiters move faster.

These outputs are assistive. Feyther does not autonomously make employment decisions on behalf of employers, and employers remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and human review.

AI systems can be imperfect. We work to reduce bias and improve quality, but automated outputs may contain errors or omissions.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable privacy laws require a legal basis, Feyther processes personal data based on consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, or steps taken at your request before entering a contract.

Our legitimate interests include operating and improving Feyther, maintaining platform security, preventing abuse, supporting customers, and understanding how our services are used.

6. How We Share Information

We share information with employers, customers, hiring teams, and authorized users when necessary to run recruiting and hiring workflows you participate in or administer.

We also share information with service providers that help us operate the platform, such as hosting, infrastructure, authentication, analytics, communications, storage, and AI providers. Where enabled, this can include PostHog for analytics and usage insights.

We may disclose information when required by law, to enforce our rights, protect users or the public, investigate misuse, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale.

Feyther does not sell personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties for profit.

7. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for authentication, session management, fraud prevention, security, and core website functionality.

We may also use analytics cookies or similar tools to understand traffic, measure feature usage, and improve the user experience. If PostHog is enabled, it may collect events such as page views, clicks, session metadata, and device information for product analytics.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential technologies may affect how Feyther works.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide the service, support recruiting workflows, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary based on the account type, customer relationship, recruiting process, and applicable legal requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it where practical.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption in transit, logging, and infrastructure security practices.

No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a material breach, we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

10. International Transfers

Feyther and its service providers may process information in countries other than your own. When required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers, such as contractual protections or other lawful mechanisms.

11. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or export your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise your rights, contact us at hello@feyther.com and include enough detail for us to verify and process your request.

12. Children’s Privacy

Feyther is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal data to Feyther, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

13. California Privacy Disclosures

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA or CPRA, including rights to know, access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain data sharing practices where applicable.

Feyther does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We use data for business and operational purposes such as providing services, analytics, security, communications, and recruiting workflows.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version here and may provide additional notice when required.
