Privacy policy

Draft. This is a plain-language draft that a lawyer has not reviewed yet. It will be replaced before paid plans open.

Last updated October 26, 2026.

The short version

• Interview audio is never stored. It streams through memory and is dropped when scoring ends.
• You can export everything we hold about you, or delete your account and all your data, in one click.
• Your transcripts are not used to improve the product unless you turn that on. It is off by default.
• We don't sell your data and we don't show ads.

What we collect and why

• Account: your email, your name and the optional profile details you give (title, years of experience, target level, country, time zone). To run your account and set up interviews.
• Job postings and your CV: what you paste or upload. To compare them and prepare the interview.
• Interview transcripts and scores: the text of what you and the interviewer said, and the debrief. So you can read your debrief and see progress.
• Usage and billing: minutes used, plan and payment status. Card details are handled by our payment provider and never reach our servers.
• Waitlist: your email, when your interview is, your field if you give it, and whether you want product news.

Scoring is automated

Interviews are scored by AI. The hire signal is practice feedback, not a decision about you, and it is not a prediction of any company's hiring decision. Each debrief shows the rubric and the quotes the score is based on. You start the scoring yourself by starting an interview. You can ask us for the information used and the main reasons behind a score, and to correct it, at privacy@getstronghire.com.

Where your data is stored

Our servers are in Germany (European Union), at Hetzner. If you live in the US or Canada, your data leaves your country to be stored there. During an interview, parts of it are sent to the service providers below.

Service providers

• Hetzner (Germany): hosting and backups.
• Anthropic (United States): AI models that run the interviewer, read postings and CVs, and score interviews. Inputs are not used to train their models.
• Brevo (European Union): sending email.
• Stripe (United States): payments, once paid plans open.
• Google (United States): only if you choose to sign in with Google.

Speech-to-text and the interviewer's voice run on our own servers.

How long we keep it

• Audio: not kept.
• Everything else: until you delete it or your account. Deleting your account removes your data within 24 hours; backups expire within 30 days.
• Waitlist entries: until you ask us to remove them, or until you create an account.

Your rights

You can export your data (a JSON file and your original CV files) and delete your account from the Account page. You can also write to privacy@getstronghire.com to access, correct or delete your information, withdraw consent, or ask a question. If you are in Quebec, you can also complain to the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec. We will tell you and the regulator promptly if a confidentiality incident puts your information at risk.

Security

Connections are encrypted, including interview audio. Passwords are stored as Argon2id hashes. CV files are encrypted at rest. Access to production data is limited and logged.
