Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account information: Name, email address, phone number, and any other details you provide when signing up as a candidate or interviewer.

Google user data (interviewers who connect Google Calendar): Interviewers can optionally choose "Connect Google Calendar" on their dashboard. If they do, Google asks them to approve two permissions, and we receive only the following: (1) the Google Calendar events permission (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.owned), which lets us create a calendar event with a Google Meet link for each booking they receive, add the candidate as a guest, and update that same event; and (2) the email address permission (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email), which tells us which Google account is connected. We store the email address of the connected account, the time it was connected, and a Google-issued refresh token that lets us create these booking events later. The events we create contain the exam name, the booking reference, the start and end time, the Meet link, and the email addresses of the candidate and the interviewer. We do not read, copy, or store any other events or contents of your calendar, and we do not access your Gmail, Drive, Contacts, or any other Google data. Candidates are not asked to grant us any access to their Google account; they receive the calendar invitation at the email address they gave us when booking. See Section 8 for full details.

Google sign-in (all users, optional): You can choose "Continue with Google" to log in or sign up instead of using a password. Google then shares only your name and your verified email address with us. We use them to find or create your InterviewLab account and to sign you in. We do not receive your Google password, contacts, calendar, Gmail, Drive or any other Google data through sign-in, and we do not keep a Google access token after you are signed in. This is separate from the optional calendar connection above.

Session recordings: With the express consent of both the interviewer and the candidate, we record mock interview sessions conducted over Google Meet. Recordings include audio, video, and any content shared during the session. As part of our current offering, raw recordings are used internally to generate feedback and are not shared with or made downloadable by candidates or interviewers.

Feedback and analysis data: Written feedback generated from your session recordings, including notes on communication, structure, and interview performance. This written feedback — not the raw recording — is what is shared with the candidate.

Usage data: Information about how you use the Platform, such as pages visited, bookings made, and device/browser information.

Traffic source (first-party cookie): When you visit InterviewLab we store a small cookie and a random visitor ID in your browser. They record which link or website brought you here (for example a campaign link or a search engine), so we can learn which of our promotions work. If you register, that source is saved with your account. This does not include your name or email, we do not use it for advertising, and we share it with no one.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Schedule, run, and manage mock interview sessions between candidates and interviewers.
• Generate feedback and performance analysis from recorded sessions.
• Improve interviewer quality and the accuracy of our analysis.
• Communicate with you about bookings, feedback, and Platform updates.
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Platform.
• Improve our services, including our blog and preparation content.

We do not use your Google account data for advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.

3. Recording Consent

Sessions are only recorded when both the interviewer and the candidate have given consent. By booking or joining a session, you confirm that you consent to being recorded for the purposes described in this Policy. If you do not wish to be recorded, you should not join a session.

4. How We Share Information

• Interviewers and candidates: Candidates receive written feedback derived from their own session, not the raw recording; interviewers may see relevant candidate information needed to conduct the session.
• Service providers: We may share data with third-party providers who help us operate the Platform (e.g., hosting and storage), under obligations to protect your data. Google user data described in Section 8 is stored only on our own hosting infrastructure and is never shared with any other service provider, and in particular never with any AI or machine-learning provider.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of InterviewLab, our users, or others.

We do not share your session recordings or personal data with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. Any analysis of interview sessions applies only to interview session content (such as a recording) for which both participants have given consent, and never uses data obtained from Google APIs.

5. Data Retention

We retain account information, session recordings, and derived feedback for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may request deletion of your recordings and account data as described in Section 7.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including recordings and Google account data, from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You may:

• Request access to the personal data and feedback we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate account information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to any legal retention requirements.
• Withdraw consent to future recordings by not participating in further sessions.

Please note that raw session recordings are used internally to generate feedback and are not made available to candidates or interviewers as part of our current offering.

To exercise these rights, contact us at interviewlab2026@gmail.com.

8. Google User Data

InterviewLab's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What we access and why. We request only the two permissions described in Section 1, and only from interviewers who choose to connect Google Calendar. We use them solely to provide one user-facing feature: automatically creating, on the interviewer's own Google Calendar, a calendar event with a Google Meet link for each confirmed booking (and adding later confirmed participants to that event), and showing the interviewer which Google account is connected.

Limited Use commitments.

• We use Google user data only to provide and improve the calendar-and-Meet scheduling feature described above.
• We do not transfer Google user data to third parties, except as necessary to provide that feature (for example, sending the calendar invitation through Google itself), to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger or sale of our business with notice to you.
• We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising, and we do not sell it.
• Our staff do not read Google user data, except with your consent for a specific request, where necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, or to comply with applicable law.
• We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalized or personalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models, and we do not transfer or disclose it to any third-party AI or machine-learning service. InterviewLab does not send data obtained through Google APIs to any AI service of any kind.

Storage and security. The refresh token and connected email address are stored in our application database on our hosting infrastructure, accessible only by the application and by authorized administrators who maintain it, and transmitted only over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Access tokens are requested from Google when needed and are not stored.

Retention, revocation, and deletion. You can disconnect at any time using the "Disconnect" button on your interviewer dashboard. Disconnecting immediately revokes our access with Google and permanently deletes the stored refresh token and connected email address from our systems. You can also remove InterviewLab's access yourself at any time from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete this data along with it. Calendar events already created on your Google Calendar belong to your Google account and remain under your control there. To request deletion or ask questions, contact interviewlab2026@gmail.com.

9. Children's Privacy

InterviewLab is intended for candidates preparing for bank and public-sector exams and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
