Data handling & data storage
We’re committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process. We provide a GDPR-compliant and consistent approach to our data protection and only work with certified partners.
Candidate information
Your candidates' information is very sensitive and needs to be protected. Retorio has no access to personal data, as all data and analyses are anonymized and securely encrypted.
Data storage and transfer
Committed to remaining GDPR compliant, Retorio transfers data confidentially and exclusively on European servers. All servers are ISO 27001 Certified to guarantee data protection and privacy.
Data deletion
Your candidates' information is very sensitive and needs to be protected. Retorio has no access to personal data, as all data and analyses are anonymized and securely encrypted.
Our ethics go far beyond GDPR compliance
Our values directly translate into how we deal with candidates.
Voluntariness
Participants are informed that using Retorio is absolutely voluntary and that there are other alternative application options (e.g. uploading a cover letter) and that there is no risk of disadvantages in the event of non-participation. The voluntariness of the participation is also guaranteed by the fact that the participant can stop and delete the recording at any time or delete the completed recording at any time (as long as it has not yet been sent to the company).
Fairness
Retorio was designed to support organizations to drive sustainable behavior change, at scale. With AI-powered training simulations, every employee has a personal AI coach on demand to support their development.
Anonymity
Retorio anonymizes and encodes all user data in advance to guarantee that an identification of your applicants and employees is not possible.
Support
Retorio was designed to support recruiters with recommendations. Automated individual decisions about whether or not an application should be considered are not possible. For example, Retorio allows recruiters to sort applications according to various criteria (similar to the sort function in existing application tracking systems), but the human still has the authority to make decisions.
Flexibility
We want to be adaptable to and respectful of candidates' time schedule and resources. Participants using Retorio can easily access and upload videos from their mobile device independent of time and location. Furthermore, time consuming preparation of motivational letter and CV are omitted from the process.
Transparency
Retorio believes in providing feedback and making hiring decisions transparent. The scientific foundation of Retorio's software stands as warrantor for the ultimate goal of sustained candidate and employer satisfaction enabled by optimal objective fit.
Continuous improvement
We are committed to continuous improvement rather than unattained perfection. Retorio works relentlessly on mending bugs, collecting data and increasing accuracy.
