How long HR Paddy keeps candidate data and how applicants can request deletion.

Deborah Adeleye-Olalekan 5 min read

Retention windows

  • Interview recordings (audio/video): 48 hours, then permanently deleted.
  • CVs and application data: retained for the life of the role, plus 12 months for audit unless the candidate asks for earlier deletion.
  • Account data: retained for as long as the workspace is active.

Candidate rights

Candidates can email privacy@hrpaddy.com.ng to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their data. We respond within 30 days.

Security basics

  • Encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Role-based access controls inside every workspace.
  • Audit logs for sensitive actions.
