Privacy Policy
What we collect, and what we don't.
This policy covers InterviewRigor ("the Service"), operated by the Service's
operator ("we"). It is written to describe exactly what the software actually does.
Last updated: July 9, 2026
The short version
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or use advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
- Camera video never leaves your browser. It is never uploaded anywhere.
- If you sign in, your completed interviews and reports are saved to your account so you can review them and see score trends. You can delete any interview — or your whole account — in the app, and deletion is immediate and permanent.
- AI processing uses Anthropic (evaluation and reports) and Deepgram (voice transcription); we don't retain your audio. Sign-in emails are delivered by Resend.
1 — Information we collect
Account (sign-in)
Signing in is passwordless: you give us your email address and we email you a one-time
sign-in link. We store your email, account creation date, plan tier, and hashed sign-in tokens/sessions.
There are no passwords to store or leak.
Waitlist (landing page)
Your email address, whether you viewed the sample report before signing up, and a timestamp.
Stored in our database until we launch, you ask us to remove it, or the list is retired.
Practice sessions
- What you provide: an optional job description, optional custom questions, and your spoken or typed answers, plus answer timing (thinking time, response time).
- Voice answers: if you use the Voice feature, your microphone audio is sent to our server and forwarded to Deepgram to produce a verbatim transcript (including filler words — that's the point). We do not store your audio recordings. The transcript becomes your answer text for scoring.
- Camera: the camera panel is a local self-view only. Video is never transmitted, recorded, or stored — it stays entirely in your browser.
- Storage: when you complete an interview while signed in, your answers (including voice transcripts), timing data, and the generated report are saved to your account so you can revisit past reports and track score trends. Each saved interview has a Delete button, and deleting your account permanently removes every interview with it.
Technical data
Standard server logs (IP address, request paths, timestamps) via our hosting provider, and short-lived
in-memory rate-limit counters. We do not run analytics and do not set tracking cookies — the only cookie we
set is a strictly functional sign-in session cookie. We use browser
sessionStorage to keep your setup choices while you navigate the site, and
HTTP Basic authentication for the private-beta gate.
2 — How we use information
- To run the features you ask for: generating interview questions, scoring answers, producing reports.
- To contact you about your waitlist spot (one email when your invite is ready).
- To protect the service: rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- We do not sell personal information, share it for advertising, or use it for third-party marketing.
3 — AI processing & service providers
We use a small number of processors to operate the Service:
| Provider | What they process | Notes |
|---|
| Anthropic | Interview answers and job descriptions — to generate evaluations and reports. | Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models. |
| Deepgram | Voice-answer audio — to produce verbatim transcripts. | Processed under Deepgram's data processing terms. We do not retain the audio. |
| Resend | Your email address — to deliver one-time sign-in links (and, later, waitlist invitations). | Transactional email delivery only; no marketing use. |
| Railway | Hosting and database infrastructure (where the data above lives). | Standard cloud hosting; server logs per their defaults. |
4 — Retention
- Saved interviews & reports: kept in your account until you delete them (per-interview) or delete your account (everything at once). Deletion is immediate and permanent.
- Account records: kept while your account exists; removed when you delete it. Expired sign-in tokens and sessions are purged automatically.
- Voice audio: processed for transcription, not retained by us.
- Waitlist emails: kept until launch, removal request, or list retirement.
- Server logs: short-lived, per hosting-provider defaults.
5 — Sharing
We share personal information only with the processors listed above (to provide the Service), or if
required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Service and its users. There is no
sale of personal information and no sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6 — Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). The app sits behind an access gate during beta. We practice
data minimization by design — the most sensitive things (your camera, your interview answers) are either
never transmitted or never stored. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't
guarantee absolute security.
7 — Your choices & rights
- Delete a saved interview: use the Delete button in your history — no email required.
- Delete your account: use "Delete account" in the account menu. It permanently removes your account and every saved interview, immediately.
- Waitlist removal: email us and we'll delete your address.
- Access / deletion requests: we honor reasonable access and deletion requests regardless of where you live. Email us.
- Voice: microphone access is always under your browser's permission control.
We don't create biometric identifiers — voice audio is transcribed to text, not used to identify anyone.
8 — Children
The Service is intended for adults 18 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not
knowingly collect information from children.
9 — Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For material changes we'll update this
policy before the change takes effect and flag it on the site — as we did when accounts with
saved interview history were introduced (July 2026).
