How to Request Deletion

Email: [email protected] Subject line: "Data Deletion Request" Include:

  • Your full name

  • Email address used for the interview

  • Company and role you interviewed for

  • Date of your interview (if known)

What Gets Deleted

When your request is processed:

  • Interview recording and transcript

  • Analysis results and competency scores

  • Personal information associated with your interview

  • Assessment reports generated from your conversation

Important Timing Considerations

Active Hiring Process

If the hiring process is still ongoing, deletion may be delayed until completion to ensure fair evaluation of all candidates.

Legal Retention Requirements

Some data may need to be retained temporarily for:

  • Compliance purposes with employment law

  • Audit requirements for fair hiring practices

  • Legal protection for both you and the hiring company

Processing Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 5 business days

  • Review period: Up to 30 days for complex requests

  • Completion notification: Once deletion is processed

  • Verification: Confirmation that data has been removed

Exceptions and Limitations

Data deletion may be limited if:

  • Required by law for employment record keeping

  • Necessary for ongoing legal proceedings

  • Part of aggregated, anonymized analytics (with personal identifiers removed)

  • Essential for system security and fraud prevention

What Happens After Deletion

Once processed:

  • You cannot recover the deleted interview data

  • Any hiring decisions already made remain valid

  • Future applications would require new interviews

  • No record of your previous interview responses will exist

Alternative Options

Instead of full deletion, you might consider:

  • Data correction if information is inaccurate

  • Access request to see what data is held

  • Processing restriction to limit how data is used

Contact [email protected] if:

  • Your deletion request is denied

  • You need clarification on retention requirements
