Account email, your resume (uploaded by you), voice recordings of your mock sessions, transcripts of those sessions, and basic usage telemetry (page views, session counts, plan type). No location, no contacts, no microphone access outside of an active interview round.
To run the product. The resume tunes the AI's questions to your background. The recordings + transcripts power scoring and the report you read after each session. Email is for login, receipts, and support replies.
Recordings and transcripts auto-delete after 90 days unless you explicitly save a session. Account data persists until you delete your account, after which it's purged within 30 days.
Nobody. We do not share recordings, transcripts, scores, or resumes with employers, recruiters, colleges, or third parties. We use sub-processors (Supabase for database, Groq + Gemini for LLM inference, Cartesia + Deepgram + Sarvam for voice) under data-processing agreements that prevent retention beyond what we authorize.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 gives you the right to access, correct, and erase the data we hold on you, to nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf, and to a grievance redressal process. Lawful basis for processing is performance of contract (delivering the service you signed up for) for everything except optional analytics, which run on explicit consent only.
Cross-border transfers: we process data within India and the United States, governed by standard contractual clauses with each sub-processor. If a grievance isn't resolved to your satisfaction, you may escalate to the Data Protection Board of India.
We respond to any request within 7 working days. Our Data Protection Officer is reachable at dpo@hirestepx.com; general privacy questions go to privacy@hirestepx.com.
