Security & Data Protection

How Apture keeps your data and your candidates' data safe.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between your browser and Apture's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2+ (HTTPS). Data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies.

Uploaded CVs and candidate data are encrypted both during upload and while stored. Access to stored data requires authenticated API calls with valid session tokens.

GDPR Compliance

Apture is fully committed to GDPR compliance. As a company registered in Poland (EU), we are subject to European data protection regulations and take our obligations seriously.

  • Lawful basis for processing:candidate data is processed under legitimate interest or with explicit consent, depending on the collection method.
  • Data minimization:we only collect and process data that is necessary for CV screening and candidate evaluation.
  • Right to deletion:organizations can delete candidate data at any time. Candidates can request deletion through their employer or directly.
  • Data Processing Agreement:available for all customers. Read our DPA.

AI Transparency

We believe recruiters should understand how AI-generated evaluations are produced. Apture's AI provides detailed explanations for every assessment. Match scores, skills evaluations, and risk flags all come with reasoning that recruiters can review and validate.

Apture is designed as a human-in-the-loop tool. AI assists with the screening process, but all hiring decisions must be made by qualified humans. No automated decision-making is used for employment decisions.

We are committed to compliance with the EU AI Act's requirements for AI systems used in employment contexts, including transparency obligations and human oversight provisions.

Data Processing

Candidate data uploaded to Apture is used exclusively for the purpose of CV screening and candidate evaluation within your organization. We do not:

  • Share candidate data with third parties
  • Use candidate data for AI model training
  • Sell or monetize candidate information
  • Retain data beyond what is necessary for service delivery

Each organization's data is logically isolated using row-level security. One organization cannot access another organization's candidates, roles, or evaluations.
