What data is being sold?

HackerRank operates two distinct platforms:

• Business platform: Provides services for companies to hire and upskill technical talent.

• Community platform: Offers free coding practice resources for individuals.

HackerRank’s AI Data Services do not involve the sale of any HackerRank company data, personal data, or activity data derived from HackerRank business customers. HackerRank does not use customer data, candidate activities, user submissions, or platform interactions from HackerRank for Work assessments, coding challenges, interviews, or any other customer-associated activities for AI model training.

Instead, HackerRank builds datasets independently using specially curated data, generated data, and expert annotations. The privacy and security of customer data remain top priorities for HackerRank.

Some non-personal data from the Community platform may be used to train AI models. However:

• No personal data is shared.

• Personally identifiable information (PII) is excluded from all training datasets.

• Privacy protections are fully enforced in accordance with our policies.

Are my company's tests used for AI model testing?

No. HackerRank creates entirely new tests and evaluation content specifically for model testing. Your company’s hiring tests, coding questions, and assessments are never used for testing or training models.

Will AI models be trained on HackerRank’s hiring content?

No. HackerRank generates entirely new questions and exercises for AI training. The questions used for hiring, interviewing, and skill assessments remain separate and are never used for AI model development.
