Interview Yen is designed with privacy-first principles. Audio is processed transiently and never stored. Transcripts exist only in your app session. Authentication is handled by AWS Cognito. We collect the absolute minimum data needed to provide real-time AI assistance.
Audio segments (8-20 seconds) are sent to our self-hosted Whisper server over HTTPS, transcribed in memory, and immediately discarded. Raw audio is never written to disk, logged, or stored on our servers. The entire audio pipeline is stateless — once transcription completes, the audio data ceases to exist.
Transcripts and AI-generated analysis exist only in your app session memory. There is no server-side database of interview content. When you close the app or end a session, all transcript and analysis data is permanently gone. We do not retain, log, or backup any interview content.
All network communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. Audio chunks sent for transcription and transcript text sent for AI analysis are encrypted in transit. API endpoints are secured with JWT token authentication via AWS Cognito. Your interview content is never exposed during transmission.
We process what we need to give you real-time assistance, and nothing more.
Full transparency about our data practices.
Audio segments for real-time Whisper transcription (discarded immediately after processing). Transcript text for Qwen AI analysis (stateless, no history retained). Email address for AWS Cognito account authentication. That's it.
We do not access your contacts, photos, files, browsing history, location, or any data outside the Interview Yen app. We don't record video. We don't track what other apps you use. We don't build behavioral profiles. Your interview content is never used to train AI models. We don't store passwords — authentication tokens are managed by AWS Cognito.
Simple principle: transient processing, zero persistence.
Full disclosure about our business model.
Interview Yen is built by the same team behind InterviewZen, a leading proctoring and monitoring platform. We build the best interview copilot to stress-test what proctoring systems should detect. This adversarial approach — building both the sword and the shield — makes interview integrity tools stronger for everyone.
No user data, audio, transcripts, or AI analysis results are ever shared between Interview Yen and InterviewZen. The two products operate on completely separate infrastructure. Insights that flow between products are architectural and behavioral patterns, never personal data.
We own both products and disclose this openly. Using Interview Yen does not affect your experience with InterviewZen or any other proctoring platform. Our dual-product approach raises the bar for the entire technical hiring ecosystem.
Transparency drives trust. We build both sides because it makes both products better.
Interview Yen meets international privacy standards.
Interview Yen complies with the General Data Protection Regulation. We provide clear legal bases for processing, support data subject rights (access, deletion, portability), and implement privacy-by-design in our architecture. Since we retain no interview content server-side, most data subject requests are satisfied by default.
We meet California Consumer Privacy Act requirements with transparent data practices and clear disclosure of our data handling. California residents can exercise their privacy rights through our support team.
Interview Yen complies with Apple App Store and Google Play privacy requirements, including accurate privacy nutrition labels, proper permission handling, and transparent data usage disclosures.
We regularly review our privacy practices to ensure compliance with evolving regulations and platform requirements.
You control your data lifecycle.
Audio is discarded immediately after transcription. AI analysis is stateless with no history retained. There is no server-side database of your interview content. The only server-side data is your account information (email, subscription status) managed by AWS Cognito.
Transcripts, AI notes, and coaching feedback exist in your app session memory. Export before ending your session if you want to keep them. Once you close the app, session data is permanently cleared.
Request complete account deletion at any time by contacting support@interviewyen.com. We will remove all account data from AWS Cognito within 30 days. Since we retain no interview content, there is nothing else to delete.
Your data, your rules. We make it simple because there's almost nothing to manage.
