Privacy Policy
Effective 1 May 2025
Calibrd is a Chrome extension for interview preparation. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is protected. We have written it to be short and plain — not to bury anything.
What we collect
Account. When you sign in we collect your email address via Clerk (our authentication provider). We do not store passwords.
CV text. If you paste or upload a CV it is stored locally in Chrome extension storage on your device. It is transmitted to our API over HTTPS when you generate a report, and is never stored server-side beyond the duration of that request.
Job postings. The job description text from the page you are viewing is sent to our API to generate your report. It is not stored after the response is returned.
Voice recordings. If you record a spoken answer — in the optional Speak input mode, or while running a voice mock interview — your audio (up to roughly three minutes per take) is transmitted to OpenAI's Whisper API for transcription. The audio is not stored after the transcript is returned, and OpenAI does not train on API traffic by default. Voice recording is opt-in: nothing is captured unless you start a recording.
Mock interviews. During a voice mock interview your transcribed answers are sent to our API for AI grading, and the interviewer's spoken questions are generated from text via OpenAI's text-to-speech. Your mock transcripts and debriefs are stored locally in Chrome extension storage on your device — they are never stored server-side.
Usage & billing. We record report generation events and credit usage tied to your account in order to enforce plan limits. Payments are handled by Stripe — we do not see or store your card details.
How we use it
We use your data solely to:
- Authenticate you and manage your account
- Generate your interview report and AI coaching responses
- Transcribe spoken answers, and voice the interviewer's questions, when you use Speak mode or a mock interview
- Enforce credit and plan limits
- Send transactional emails (sign-in codes, receipts)
We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI models.
Third-party services
We work with a small number of sub-processors:
- Clerk — authentication and session management
- Stripe — payment processing
- Anthropic — AI inference for report generation and interview coaching, including mock-interview grading and debriefs (Claude API). Prompts are not used to train models. Anthropic may retain API data for up to 30 days for safety purposes per their usage policy.
- OpenAI — voice-to-text transcription (Whisper API) for spoken answers, and text-to-speech for the interviewer's voice in a mock interview, only when you use those voice features. Audio is sent for transcription and not stored after the transcript is returned. OpenAI does not train on API traffic by default; see their enterprise privacy commitments.
Data retention
Account records are kept for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time by emailing privacy@calibrd.com and we will remove your account and associated usage records within 30 days.
Cookies & tracking
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Clerk sets a session cookie required for authentication. We do not run third-party analytics scripts.
Security
All data in transit is encrypted with TLS. CV text and job descriptions are never written to persistent storage on our servers. We apply principle of least privilege to all internal data access.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights email privacy@calibrd.com.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Continued use of Calibrd after the update constitutes acceptance.
