Privacy & your data

What we collect

To run a mock interview, you give us a job description, optional background/CV notes, and your typed answers. These are sent to our server only to generate the interview questions and your scorecard.

What we don't do

• We do not store your job description, CV, or answers on our servers after your session.
• We do not sell your data.
• We do not require an account to try the practice tool.

Your browser

We keep a small counter in your browser's local storage to track how many free practice sessions you've used. That stays on your device and contains no personal information.

AI processing

Your inputs are processed by a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) to generate questions and feedback, under their data terms. Please avoid pasting highly sensitive personal information.
