Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account details: your name, your email address, a one-way hash of your password if you sign up with email, and — if you sign in with Google — your Google account ID and profile picture.
• Your acceptance of our Terms: which version you accepted and when. Accepting them includes confirming that you are 18 or older.
• Interview context you provide: the resume and job description you paste or upload, any extra instructions, and the candidate and company names you enter. The names are labels for you and are not sent to the AI, though the company name can appear in the note we email you after that interview.
• Session data: live transcripts of your interviewer (from your computer's audio) and of you (from your microphone), screen captures you take, and the AI answers generated during a session. We do not keep the audio itself — it is turned into text as it streams.
• Your computer, while a session runs: the desktop app tells us which version of Windows or macOS it is running on and in which language, the computer's processor, memory and screen size, the names of its speakers, headphones and microphones, and whether the app can hear the sound your computer plays. We use this only to find out why the app cannot hear a call on a particular computer, and to fix it. It is kept with that interview, only the operator can see it, and it is erased when you delete the interview or your account.
• A technical record of each session, kept by our server and by the app on your computer: when they connected and disconnected, whether the app could start and could use your microphone and your computer's sound, whether sound was reaching us, whether speech-to-text and the AI worked or failed and how long they took, why the session ended, and any error by its technical name. It never contains what was said, what was on your screen, your name or your email address. We use it only to find out what went wrong when a session does not work, and only the operator can see it.
• If you press “Report a problem” in the app or on your dashboard: the reason you picked is added to that session's technical record, and a support request is opened for you so that we can answer. Anything you write with it is kept with that request, among the notes our team keeps about you. A report sent from the app's own start window also carries the last lines of the app's technical log from your computer (what it started, what it connected to, what failed, and which of its shortcuts were pressed), with the session's link, email addresses and your computer's user name taken out; they are kept with that session's technical record.
• If a page of this website stops with an error in your browser: which page it was, which part of our code failed and the error's technical name are sent to us, without your name or your account, so that we can fix it.
• Payment metadata: Razorpay order and payment IDs, the amount and whether the payment went through. We never see or store your full card number.
• If you buy an Unlimited pass: its code, when it starts and ends, whether its code email was sent, and which sessions were started with it.
• Basic technical logs: IP address, browser type, the version of Interview Fury you use, when your account was last active, and timestamps, used to keep the service secure and reliable.
• If you talk to our team — a call, a WhatsApp chat, an email or a meeting, or an enquiry before you have an account: short notes of what was discussed and what we agreed to do, the phone or WhatsApp number you gave us, your organisation and city if you told us, and any follow-up we set ourselves. We use them only to help you and to reply; we never record calls or copy chats automatically. A WhatsApp chat happens in WhatsApp itself, under its own terms; we only open the chat and note what was agreed.
• Emails a member of our team writes to you from our console: a copy of what they wrote, when, who sent it, and whether it was delivered, bounced or reported as spam. If you enquired for an institute, we also note the institute (its name, city and website) and where our conversation with it stands.

How we use it

• To generate answers tailored to your resume and the role during a live session, and to write feedback on an interview when you ask for it.
• To operate your account, process payments, and provide support.
• To send the emails and notifications described below, as your settings allow.
• To protect the service against abuse, fraud, and security threats.
• We do not sell your data, and we never train AI models on your interviews.

Who we are

Interview Fury is operated by Vinay Kumar Vanapalli, a sole proprietor based in India. That means one person is responsible for this service and for the data you trust it with — there is no larger organisation behind it. The operator may be helped by a small team (support, sales and account management) who work under a duty of confidentiality and see only what their role needs — see "Who can see your interview" below.

How long we keep it

We keep things for as long as they are useful to you, except where the law requires otherwise or a backup still holds a copy (see the last point below). Your interview data does not expire on a hidden timer: it stays until you delete it.

• Interview transcripts and screen captures: kept until you delete the interview or your account. They are not deleted automatically, so they stay available for you to review or export.
• Resumes, job descriptions and account details: kept until you delete them or close your account.
• Payment records, including Unlimited pass records: kept for at least six years after the transaction, because Indian tax law requires us to retain them. These stay even if you delete your account, but they no longer identify you.
• Usage totals (tokens and audio minutes per session): kept alongside the payment record for cost accounting. They contain no interview content.
• Messages you send us: automatically deleted 2 years after you send them.
• Notes our team keeps about you (see "What we collect"): kept while you have an account, and erased when you delete it. For an enquiry from someone without an account, the name, contact details and notes are erased automatically after 2 years without any contact.
• Answer telemetry (how long each answer was and how many tokens it used — never what was said): automatically deleted after 90 days.
• The technical record of each session and the reports of a page that stopped with an error (see "What we collect"): automatically deleted after 90 days; a session's record sooner, when you delete the interview or your account.
• Server request logs (your IP address, browser and the page requested) are kept by our server's log rotation and are not deleted on a fixed schedule.
• Our own visit counts (see Cookies and analytics): automatically deleted after 90 days. The daily totals for the walkthrough video say nothing about who watched, and are kept.
• Backups: we keep backup copies of our database and interview files so the service can be restored after a fault. Copies on our server are replaced on a rolling seven-day cycle, and a further copy is kept on a computer the operator controls in India, where it is not deleted automatically. Deleting an interview or your account does not reach those copies straight away, so deleted data can remain in them after it is gone from the live service. Like the live data, backups are not separately encrypted.

Emails and reminders

We send four kinds of email, each with its own switch. A daily reminder when your free interview minutes are ready. Activity emails about your own account and interviews: a welcome, a nudge to finish your setup or an unfinished checkout, help installing the app if you downloaded it and got no further, the link or the reminder you ask us to email when you sign up on a phone, a note after an interview, a note when you reach a 3-day or 7-day practice streak, and a note when your first feedback report is ready. Weekly interview tips, with a question pack for your role every other week. And offers and updates: what is new in Interview Fury, offers on paid sessions, and a nudge if you have not opened Interview Fury for a couple of weeks. All four are on by default for Interview Fury accounts. If you sign up with an email address you can untick the reminders, tips and offers on the sign-up form; activity emails about your own account stay on until you turn them off. New accounts created with Google sign-in start with all four on. The daily reminder was switched on for existing accounts in September 2026, except anyone who had already turned it off; the other three are on for every Interview Fury account unless you turn them off. Anyone can turn any of them off at any time. The daily reminder can also arrive as a notification in a browser, but only if you allow it in that browser. Accounts created through a training institute never receive any of these. Separately, a few account emails have no switch, because your account cannot work without them: email verification (and one reminder if you have not confirmed your address), password reset, and your Unlimited pass code when you buy one. They are sent only because of something you did (signing up, asking to reset your password, or buying a pass), and they carry no offers.

• What we store: your preference for each kind, and a record of every time it changes — including when it was switched on by default rather than by you — with where it happened and the version of this policy in force at the time.
• For browser notifications: the push subscription address your browser gives us, one for each browser you turn them on in. It lets us reach that browser and nothing else. When you turn notifications off we stop using it straight away, and delete it from our records within 30 days.
• A record of each reminder, activity, tips or offers email and each notification we send — when, which kind, whether it was delivered, and whether it was opened through its link. We keep these records for 180 days, then delete them.
• Our emails contain no tracking pixel. We only learn that one was opened if you click its link.
• Delivery reports from Amazon SES: whether an email reached you, bounced, or was reported as spam. We keep these for 180 days, and they hold your address only as a one-way digest, not the address itself. If an email to you bounces permanently or is reported as spam, we stop sending you reminders, activity emails, tips and offers — and our team stops emailing you — until you ask us to resume.
• Tips, question packs, offers and updates are the same message for everyone who gets them. They are not tailored to you, and nothing from your interviews goes into them.
• You can stop any of the four kinds at any time: each of those emails has a one-click unsubscribe link for its own kind, Account settings has a switch for each kind and a way to stop all of them at once, and you can block notifications for this site in your browser settings.
• When you turn offers off, our team won't send you sales emails either; a sales email from them carries the same one-click unsubscribe. Replies to our team's emails come to our support inbox.
• Every email we send you — verification and password reset, reminders, activity emails, tips, offers, your Unlimited pass code and the emails our team writes to you — is delivered through Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES). The messages you send us through the contact form are forwarded the same way to our own inbox, which is hosted by Google's Gmail service. Browser notifications travel through your browser's own push service (for example Google's for Chrome, Mozilla's for Firefox, or Apple's for Safari), which receives only an encrypted message for your browser.

Daily free minutes records

When you claim the free minutes offered each day, we keep a small record so the allowance stays fair.

• Which day you claimed your free minutes, linked to your account and the session they created.
• A one-way digest of your network address. It is not the address itself, it changes every day, and it is cleared the following day.
• A one-way digest of your email address (not the address itself). It stays with the day record even if you delete your account, so the same address cannot claim the same day twice.
• We use the two digests only to apply the one-per-person, one-per-day rule and to stop abuse. The day record also lets us skip your reminder on a day you have already claimed, and count how much the allowance is used.

AI feedback reports

We write a feedback report on an interview only when you ask for one from your dashboard; nothing is written automatically when an interview ends. A report can only be made for an interview with enough of a transcript to review.

• The report is generated from that interview's transcript only.
• To produce it, the transcript is sent to our AI provider (see Sub-processors), in the same way it is during a live session. We do not use it to train AI models.
• The report is stored with that interview, and deleted when you delete the interview or your account.

Practice interviews

When you use practice mode, we keep what you need to look back on your practice, for as long as you keep it.

• What we keep: the role and experience level you chose, the job description if you pasted one, the questions you were asked, your answers as text, and the feedback on each answer.
• A spoken answer is sent as a recording to our speech-to-text provider, Deepgram, and only the text comes back to us. We never store the recording.
• To write the questions and the feedback, the role, the job description and your answers are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic. We do not use them to train AI models.
• To apply the daily limits and to know what practice costs us, we also keep how many practice interviews you start each day and what each one used (tokens and seconds of audio, never what was said).
• Delete a practice interview from its summary page, or all of them by deleting your account. Either way its job description, questions, answers and feedback are erased; what stays is that it happened, when, the role and level, and what it cost us.

Cookies and analytics

We ask before we set any analytics cookie, and the site works exactly the same if you say no.

• Essential storage: keeps you signed in and remembers your choices. Always on — without it the app cannot work.
• Where you came from: your browser notes the campaign link, advert or website that first brought you here, and the first page you opened. When you create an account, that note is saved with it, so we can see which channels bring people who go on to use Interview Fury: a website by its name only, never the full address you came from, and an advert only as an advert, never its click identifier. When you click a download link, the date is noted the same way, and saved with your account if you have one. If you accept analytics, the campaign details also go to Google Analytics.
• Your device and the app: when you create an account or sign in, we note the kind of device you are on, for example a Windows computer, a Mac or an Android phone. We keep that one word, never your browser's full details. (A running session is different: the desktop app then tells us about the computer it is on — see "What we collect".) We also note the first time the desktop app opens one of your sessions, with the app's version. This shows us who could not get the app installed, so that we can help.
• Invites: if you sign up through a friend's invite link, we note who invited you, so that we can give them their reward. They see only how many friends joined and bought, never your name or email address.
• Analytics (Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel): helps us see how people find and use Interview Fury. Both load only after you accept, and not at all if you decline. Once you accept, they record the web address of the pages you open, including your dashboard and account settings. We send them nothing from the Coach Console, from private institute links, or from the email-verification, password-reset and unsubscribe pages, because those addresses carry a private key. With your consent they also receive an event when you sign up, sign in, download the app, start a checkout, complete a purchase or start a session with a pass or promo code — including the amount and, for Google Analytics, the order reference — so we can measure which channels and adverts bring customers. If we refund a purchase, Google Analytics is also sent the refunded amount with the same order reference. We do not use session recording — no tool of ours replays what you did on a page.
• The content of your interviews is never sent to an analytics provider: your transcripts, resumes, job descriptions, screen captures and feedback reports stay out of them, and we never use anything from your interviews for marketing.
• Our own visit counts need no cookie. We count page visits on our server using a one-way digest that changes every day, never your IP address itself, and note which days a signed-in account was active. These counts are deleted after 90 days. From the same counting we keep totals of new visitors (how many, on what kind of device, on which page) so that we can see when people arrive; the totals say nothing about any one visitor and are deleted after 90 days too. When you press play on our walkthrough video, on the homepage or on its own page, we count that the same way: the play, and whether you reached halfway and the end, each at most once a day. The daily digest for that is held only in memory, and what we keep is each day's totals. Downloads of the desktop app are counted the same way, once a day per browser and system, and we keep only each day's totals.
• Our pages also load Google's sign-in script and Razorpay's checkout script, so that signing in with Google and paying work. Your browser fetches them from Google and Razorpay whether or not you accept analytics; we do not use them for analytics.
• You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site — the choice is stored on your device, not on our servers.

Deleting your data

You are in control of all of it, without having to ask us.

• Delete a single interview from your dashboard — this permanently erases its transcript, screen captures and feedback report, the resume and job description attached to it, the names you entered, the details of the computer it ran on, and the technical record of that session.
• Delete your whole account from Account settings — this erases every interview, every saved resume, the content of your practice interviews, your email and notification settings with their history, your name and email address, the note of where you first came from, the kinds of device you used and when the app first opened, and the notes, phone numbers and follow-ups our team kept about you. It also ends any interview that is running and signs you out.
• Deleting your account also ends any Unlimited pass on it and cancels any promo code tied to it, without a refund.
• What account deletion keeps: your payment, pass and usage records, which no longer identify you (see "How long we keep it"), and one-way digests of your email address — not the address itself — so the same address cannot get a second free trial, or claim free minutes twice on the same day. Messages you sent us through the contact form keep the name and email address on them until their own two-year deletion date (see "How long we keep it"); ask at privacy@interviewfury.com if you want them removed sooner.
• If you would rather we did it for you, email privacy@interviewfury.com and we will action it.

What deleting an interview removes — and what we keep

Deleting an interview is permanent and cannot be undone. We erase its transcript, the resume and job description you attached to it, any extra instructions you added, and the candidate and company names you entered. Screen captures taken during that session and its feedback report go with it.

• What we keep: that a session existed, when it was created, started and ended, how it was obtained (for example paid, a free trial, free minutes, a promo code or a pass), the AI model and Interview Fury version it used, and the payment and AI-usage totals it generated.
• Why we keep it: to meet tax and accounting obligations, to handle refunds and payment disputes, and to prevent fraud and abuse.
• This retained record contains nothing about what was said in your interview — no questions, no answers, no resume, no job description.
• Resumes you saved to your account library are separate from any one interview. Delete them from the setup screen whenever you like.

Sub-processors

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the service. Each receives only the data needed for its function. This is the full list:

• AI model providers, to generate answers: Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. Which one answers depends on the model chosen for the session. Whichever model you choose, Anthropic's models also summarise long interviews in the background, write the feedback reports, and write the questions and feedback in practice mode.
• Deepgram, to turn speech into text, during a session and for spoken practice answers.
• Razorpay, to process payments.
• Google Cloud, to host the application and its data, in Google Cloud's Mumbai region in India.
• Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES), to deliver every email we send you: verification and password reset, reminders, activity emails, tips, offers, Unlimited pass codes and the emails our team writes to you.
• Google's Gmail service, which hosts the inbox your contact-form messages are forwarded to.
• Google Sign-In, if you choose to sign in with Google.
• GoDaddy, which runs our domain name and the support and privacy mailboxes that receive your emails to us.
• Your browser's push service, for browser notifications you allow. It receives only an encrypted message.
• Google Analytics and Meta, only if you accept analytics.
• YouTube (Google), to play our walkthrough video: on our homepage only when you press play, and on the video's own page (/walkthrough) as soon as you open it.
• Google's public STUN service, which sees your network address, and your coach's, when the Coach Console's live audio connects (only on accounts that have the Coach Console).
• Some of these providers process data outside India. Our email is delivered through Amazon SES in Sydney, Australia, and our AI, speech-to-text, email and analytics providers operate from outside India. Indian law permits these transfers, and the same commitments in this policy apply wherever the data is handled.

Who can see your interview

You should know exactly who can read what you say in an interview, so here it is in full.

• Your coach, on an account that has the Coach Console (company and institute accounts, and others while we offer it there). The console opens only for someone signed in to your account, so anyone you let sign in can open it. There they see your live transcript, your AI answers and screen captures, and the resume and job description attached to that session, and they can hear the audio playing on your computer during the interview. That is the point of the console — only let someone you want there sign in.
• Anyone holding your session link. The link opens that session in Interview Fury without a sign-in, so whoever has it sees the interviewer's questions, the AI answers and, where the Coach Console is used, any coach notes while the session is running. Keep it private.
• If you reached us through a company or a training institute, your interview is held in that organisation's account, so its staff who sign in to that account can see everything listed above, and can delete it.
• The operator — but only for a specific reason: investigating a fault you have reported, resolving a payment dispute, or looking into suspected abuse of the service. Only the operator can open interview content (transcripts, screen captures, AI answers, feedback reports, and the resume, job description and instructions on a session) or watch a live session. We do not read interviews for any other purpose, we never use them for marketing, and we never train AI models on them.
• Our team members, if the operator has any, work in a staff console that shows only what their role needs: your name and email address, when you signed up and were last active, the status and times of your sessions and the candidate and company names on them, and — for support and account managers — your payments and passes. They cannot open any interview content, cannot watch a live session and cannot download lists of customers. Some roles see names and email addresses partly hidden. Each morning, a team member may get an email listing their own follow-ups, with the names they concern — no contact details or messages.
• Every time anyone on our side opens your transcript, the full setup of a session (resume, job description and instructions), your feedback report or your account's detail page, or watches a live session, it is recorded in an internal access log with who did it and when. When a team member opens your customer summary, that is logged too, with their name, role and IP address, as is every change a team member makes to your account or sessions. Lists in our admin console, and the operator's exports, which show your name, email address and the candidate names and company names on your sessions (and, for the operator, the resume file names), are not logged in this way. You can ask us for the access log at any time.
• Our processing providers, listed under Sub-processors above, receive only what they need to do their part — for example the audio to be transcribed, or the text to generate an answer.

Security

Your data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). It is not separately encrypted at rest on our servers — we would rather tell you that plainly than imply protection we have not built. No system is perfectly secure, but protecting interview data is core to what we do.

Your rights

Indian data protection law gives you specific rights over your data. Here is each one and how to use it.

• Access: a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how it is processed — ask at privacy@interviewfury.com. Your interviews and transcripts are already visible in your dashboard, and you can download each transcript as a PDF. There is no one-click export of everything; we answer access requests by email.
• Correction, completion and updating: change your name in Account settings. For anything else that is wrong, incomplete or out of date — including your email address, which your account is keyed to and so cannot be changed from the app — email privacy@interviewfury.com and we will correct it.
• Erasure: delete a single interview from your dashboard, or your whole account from Account settings. See "Deleting your data" above for what is removed and what we have to keep.
• Withdraw consent: every reminder, activity, tips and offers email has a one-click unsubscribe for its own kind, and Account settings has a switch for each kind. To withdraw analytics consent, clear this site's storage in your browser. Turning something off costs you nothing else.
• Grievance redressal: write to the Grievance Officer named below, and escalate to the Data Protection Board of India if our answer does not satisfy you.
• Nomination: you may nominate someone to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated. Write to the Grievance Officer below and we will record it.

Grievance Officer

In line with the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, here is the named person responsible for handling data complaints. Write to them directly if something about your data is wrong, or if a request of yours has not been actioned.

• Name: Vinay Kumar Vanapalli
• Email: privacy@interviewfury.com
• Write from the email address on your account, or tell us the address it uses, so we can identify you.
• We acknowledge every grievance within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
• If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to the Data Protection Board of India.
