Our Commitment to Security We understand that granting API access to your Greenhouse account is an important security decision.  Read-only access where possible - We only request write permissions where necessary for core functionality No unnecessary data access - We only access data required for exporting candidates Secure credential storage - Your API keys are encrypted and stored securely
  • Transparent operations You can see exactly what we’re doing with each permission
Here is exactly how we use each permission. connect greenhouse screenshot 2 Frequently Asked Questions Question: Can I revoke these permissions later? Answer: Yes, you can revoke API access at any time from your Greenhouse Dev Center. This will stop future exports, but won’t affect candidates already exported. Question: Will this affect my existing Greenhouse workflows? Answer: No, our integration only creates new candidates and applications. It doesn’t modify your existing data or workflows. Question: What happens if I don’t grant all permissions? A: The integration may not function correctly. For example, without “Applications” permission, we can’t create the link between candidates and jobs. Question: Can I see what CutShort is doing with my Greenhouse account?* A: Yes, all exports appear in your Greenhouse activity feed, and you can see all candidates and applications we create.
