We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share data for advertising purposes. All processors are bound by GDPR-compliant data processing agreements (DPAs).

7. Automated decision-making and profiling

Happr uses AI tools to assist Hirers with candidate matching and submission ranking. This constitutes automated processing within the meaning of GDPR Article 22. We take the following safeguards:

  • AI-generated rankings are presented as recommendations only. All final hiring decisions are taken by a human Hirer.
  • No candidate is rejected solely on the basis of automated processing.
  • Candidates may request a human review of any AI-generated assessment by emailing privacy@happr.dev.
  • The criteria used by matching algorithms are described in our EU AI Act Transparency Notice.
