What we collect
Data we hold about you.
We collect only what is necessary to deliver personalised interview coaching.
Profile context
CV text, target role details and interview goals you choose to save. Stored securely in your account via Clerk authentication.
Practice session data
Your answers, AI feedback, scores, voice delivery metrics and camera presence metrics from completed sessions you choose to save.
Microphone input
Voice recordings processed in your browser to produce transcripts. Audio is not stored by AI Career Mentor — only the cleaned text transcript is used.
Camera input
Camera video processed locally in your browser for presence signals. Raw video frames are never sent to our servers or stored.
How we use your data
What your data is used for.
Your profile context (CV text, role details, goals) is sent to OpenAI to generate more relevant and personalised interview questions. It is not stored by OpenAI under the API terms in use.
Your practice answers are sent to OpenAI to produce feedback, scores, improved model answers and session summaries. If you choose to save a session, this feedback is stored in your account.
Voice delivery metrics (pace, fillers, energy) are calculated locally in your browser from your answer text. They are not derived from audio files sent to a server.
Camera presence signals are generated locally using browser APIs. No video frames are transmitted to our servers.
Your data is never used to train AI models, never sold to third parties, and never shared with employers.
Data processors
Who we share your data with.
We use the following trusted sub-processors to deliver the platform.
OpenAI

Data retention
