Data Security at TalentProof

We are committed to protecting your personal information with enterprise-grade security measures. Here's how we keep your data safe.

Encryption at Rest

Think of our database as a digital vault. Every piece of sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) you provide—like your name, email, and resume content—is scrambled using strong AES-256 encryption *before* it is placed in the vault.

How we protect your data

We encrypt all personally identifiable information before it is written to Firestore. Below are a few friendly examples to help you understand what that means in practice (this is illustrative, not an exhaustive schema dump).

ExampleWhy it's protected
Full nameEncrypted to protect identity (e.g. scorecards, analyses)
Email addressEncrypted or hashed for verification without exposing raw email
Resume / CV textLarge-text PII (stored encrypted before any AI processing)

Hashing for Verification

For processes that require verification without needing to see the original data (like verifying a company email address), we use a secure one-way process called hashing. This transforms your email into a unique, irreversible digital fingerprint.

We can confirm a match using this fingerprint without ever storing or exposing your original email in that context, ensuring your privacy during verification steps.

AI & Data Privacy

We take extra precautions when interacting with AI models to prevent accidental exposure of your personal data.

  • AI-Generated Summaries: When our AI generates a summary of your skills, we instruct it to use a generic placeholder, like `[CANDIDATE_NAME]`, instead of your actual name.
  • Secure Storage: The AI-generated text is stored with the placeholder intact. Your name is stored separately and securely encrypted.
  • Just-in-Time Rendering: Your name is only inserted into the summary on our secure server right before the final report is sent to your browser for viewing. This ensures your PII is not stored in AI-generated text and is only visible when needed.
