Hush Hire privacy policy

Last updated November 10, 2026

What the app does with sound

Hush Hire records the microphone, and on a Mac the Mac's own audio when you allow it, only while the Record button is on. Speech is turned into text by Apple's on-device speech models. The notes and the scores are written by Apple's on-device language model, or by simple rules when it is not available. None of it leaves your device, and the app never uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute or any other server.

Audio is not kept after it has been transcribed unless you turn on "Keep the audio file" in Settings.

Pictures of job listings

A picture of a job listing, taken with the camera or dropped into the app, is read on your device by Apple's Vision framework. Only the words are kept, as the job's description. The picture itself is not saved.

What is stored, and where

Each job, interview, transcript and scorecard is saved as plain files. On a Mac they go in a folder that you choose; on iPhone and iPad they stay on the device, in the app's own folder, which the Files app shows. Delete an interview like any file, or from the app.

Permissions the app asks for

• Microphone and Speech Recognition: to transcribe what is said, on the device.
• Screen Recording (Mac only): only if you have the app hear the other side of a call. No picture of your screen is taken or used.
• Camera: only if you take a picture of a job listing.
• Calendar and Reminders: only if you allow them. They are read on the device.

What is collected

Nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking. The App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. Nobody, including the developer, can see or hear your interviews.

Candidates are people too

Tell candidates you are recording and get their consent where the law requires it. Keep their interviews only as long as you need them, and delete them when you are done. A score from Hush Hire is a starting point for your judgement, not a hiring decision.
