Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-14

This Privacy Policy explains how Invent Artificial LLC (“TheInterviews”, “we”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our AI interview and hiring platform, and the choices and rights you have. It is written to reflect our obligations under the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (“CCPA”), and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”).

1. Information we collect

  • Account & profile — name, email, phone (optional), password (hashed), Google sign-in identifier, industry/role, and profile details you provide.
  • Interview content — mock-interview transcripts, your answers, generated feedback and scores, and resumes/job descriptions you upload.
  • Audio & video recordings — where you consent, recordings of interview sessions and their transcripts.
  • Biometric / liveness data — for identity-verified interviews we perform a camera-based liveness check and a face-match against a face template you enroll. This is biometric information under BIPA and is only collected with your separate, explicit consent (see §6).
  • Billing — subscription and payment records. Card details are processed by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers.
  • Usage & device — log data, analytics events, and cookies used to run and improve the service.

2. How we use your information

To provide and personalise interviews and feedback; to verify identity and detect fraud/gaming; to manage your account and billing; to secure the platform; to comply with legal obligations; and, where permitted, to analyse and improve the service. Interview content is processed by our AI sub-processors to generate questions and feedback — it is not used to train third-party foundation models.

3. Legal bases (GDPR)

We rely on: performance of a contract (delivering the interview service); consent (recordings, biometric verification, marketing); legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, product improvement); and legal obligation (financial and audit records). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

4. Sub-processors & sharing

We share data only with service providers acting on our behalf under contract, including: AWS (hosting, storage), LiveKit and our avatar providers (real-time audio/video), OpenAI and Anthropic (AI question/feedback generation), Deepgram (speech-to-text), and Stripe (payments). We do not sell your personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

5. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above. Operational PII logs are purged after ~30 days, audit logs are retained for security/compliance, and financial records are kept for the period required by law. You can request deletion at any time (see §7); on deletion we erase interview content, recordings, resumes, profile, and biometric templates, and anonymise records we are legally required to retain.

6. Biometric information (BIPA)

Liveness and face-match verification are optional and require your explicit, separate consent before any biometric data is captured. Your face template is used solely to confirm it is you across your interviews, is never sold or disclosed for profit, and is deleted when you delete your account or when the purpose is fulfilled. Practice interviews do not use biometric verification.

7. Your rights

Depending on your region you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your data, to object, and to opt out of any sale/sharing (we do neither). Delete your account and personal data at any time from account settings, or contact us. We respond within the timeframes required by GDPR/CCPA and do not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

8. Cookies, security & international transfers

We use essential and analytics cookies. Data in transit is encrypted with TLS and data at rest is encrypted. We may process data in the United States and other countries under appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) for users in the EEA/UK.
