Privacy First

Privacy Policy

Interview preparation involves some of your most personal information — your resume, your career history, and your voice. We built OfferlyIQ with that in mind and wrote this policy in plain language so you know exactly what happens to your data.

Effective: September 15, 2026Last Updated: September 15, 2026Part of our Terms of Service

Summary

At a Glance

Only what we need

We collect account details, resumes, session content, and basic technical data — nothing more.

Never sold

We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

No AI training without opt-in

Your resume, recordings, and transcripts are never used to train AI models unless you explicitly choose it.

Audio on demand only

We access your mic or camera only after you grant permission and start a session — never in the background.

You're in control

Download, correct, or delete your data any time from Settings → Privacy.

AI providers can't train on your data

Our AI partners are contractually prohibited from using your data to train their models.

1Scope

This Policy applies to personal information we process as the business responsible for the Service. It covers visitors to our website and users of the Service.

This Policy does not cover:
  • Third-party websites or services you reach through links or integrations (video conferencing platforms, job boards) — they have their own privacy policies.
  • Information an employer, university, or career center collects about you outside the Service. For institutional plans, see Section 5.2.

  • Payment processor: payment confirmation, card type, last four digits, and billing ZIP code.
  • Institutions: if your university or employer enrolls you on an institutional plan, it may provide your name, email, and program or team.

2.4 Information we don't want

The Service does not need your Social Security number, driver's license, passport, financial account numbers, or information about your race, religion, health, sexual orientation, or immigration status. Please remove these details from your resume before uploading. If they appear in your uploads, we use them only to deliver the feature you requested and never to infer characteristics about you.

3.1 AI processing and model training

Our providers don't train on your data. We only use AI providers that contractually agree not to use data sent through our integration to train or improve their models.
We don't train on your data without your opt-in. We will not use your resumes, recordings, transcripts, or other personal session content to train or fine-tune AI models unless you opt in at Settings → Privacy → Help improve OfferlyIQ. You can turn this off at any time.

Limited human review. Authorized personnel may review a specific session only when you ask for support or report a problem, or when necessary to investigate abuse or a violation of our Terms.

3.2 Automated feedback

Scores and feedback are generated automatically for your personal practice. We do not provide them to employers or recruiters, and we do not use them to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

3.3 De-identified data

We may create de-identified or aggregated data that cannot reasonably be linked to you. We maintain and use such data only in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it, except to test our de-identification processes as permitted by law.

4Audio, Video, and Live Assist

You're in control. We access your microphone, camera, or screen only after you grant permission on your device and start a session. A visible indicator shows while capture is active. We never record in the background.

Live Assist. When Live Assist is active, audio is transcribed in near real time to generate suggestions. By default, we do not retain raw Live Assist audio after transcription. Transcripts are saved to your history only if you choose to save them.

Practice recordings. Mock interview recordings are stored so you can review them, and you can delete them at any time.

No biometric identifiers. We do not use your voice or face to identify you, and we do not create or store voiceprints, face geometry, or other biometric identifiers.

Other participants. A live conversation may include other people's voices. Under our Terms, you must obtain any consent required by law from all participants before using Live Assist.

5How We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5.1 Service providers

We use vendors that process personal information on our behalf under written contracts that restrict their use and require appropriate security.

5.2 Institutions

If you access OfferlyIQ through an institutional plan, the institution may see usage-level information (whether you activated your account and how many sessions you completed). We do not share your recordings, transcripts, answers, or detailed scores with the institution unless you choose to share them or the institution's agreement provides for it and you were clearly told so at enrollment.

5.3 Legal compliance and protection

  • Comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process
  • Enforce our Terms or investigate potential violations
  • Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of OfferlyIQ, our users, or the public

Where legally permitted, we will try to notify you before disclosing your information in response to legal process.

5.4 Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. The recipient will be bound by this Policy or a policy at least as protective, and we will notify you of any material change.

5.5 With your consent

We may disclose information for other purposes at your direction — for example, if you share a practice report with a mentor.

6Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
