We take your privacy very seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information on how and why we collect, store, use and share any information relating to you (your personal data).

It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data and how to contact us or the relevant regulator in the event you have a complaint. Our collection, storage, use and sharing of your personal data is regulated by law, including under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

We are the controller of personal data obtained via the Services, meaning we are the organisation legally responsible for deciding how and for what purposes it is used.

The Services may link to or rely on other apps, websites, APIs or services owned and operated by us or by certain trusted third parties to enable us to provide you with Services. These other apps, websites, APIs or services may also gather information about you in accordance with their own separate privacy policies. For privacy information relating to these other apps, websites or services, please consult their privacy policies as appropriate. For more information see the section ‘Who we share your personal data with’ below.

4. Special Category Personal Data or Sensitive Data

We do not intentionally request, collect or require special category personal data. However, users may voluntarily disclose special category personal data during interview responses, uploaded documents or other content submitted through the Services. Any such disclosure is incidental to the provision of the Services and is not a purpose for which we collect personal data. We encourage users not to disclose unnecessary special category personal data or personal data relating to other individuals when using the Services. Where special category personal data is voluntarily provided by a user, we will process that information only to the extent necessary to provide the requested Services, maintain the security and operation of the Services, and otherwise comply with applicable legal obligations. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect all personal data processed through the Services, including any special category personal data that may be disclosed by users.

5. How Your Personal Data Is Collected

We collect personal data from you directly when you sign up to the Services, contact us directly or reach out to us via social media, make submissions via the Services when a forum element is available, or indirectly, such as your activity while using the Services.

We may collect personal information about you using cookies or similar technologies. Please refer to our Cookies Policy for details about the cookies and similar technologies we use and how you can control them.

  • where you have given consent
  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
  • for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or
  • for our legitimate interests or those of a third party

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own. You can obtain details of this assessment by contacting us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

7. Who We Share Your Personal Data With

We routinely share personal data with service providers we use to help us run our business or provide the services or functionalities in the Services.

We use carefully selected third-party service providers to assist us in delivering the Services. These providers process personal data on our behalf and only in accordance with our instructions and contractual arrangements.

Our current providers include:

  • Supabase, which provides authentication, database hosting, storage, real-time functionality and related backend infrastructure.
  • OpenAI, which provides speech-to-text transcription services (Whisper) and AI functionality used to generate interview questions, coaching feedback and related outputs.

These providers may process personal data only for the purpose of providing services to us and are required to implement appropriate security measures to protect personal data.

Where a support enquiry relates to an ongoing complaint, dispute, security issue or legal/regulatory matter, relevant records may be retained for longer where necessary for that purpose.

9. De-identified Information

We may create anonymised or aggregated information that no longer identifies individual users. Such information may be used for analytics, service improvement, operational reporting and business planning purposes.

10. Automated Decision-making

We use AI systems to generate interview questions, interview coaching and feedback based on information you provide.

However, round zero does not make employment decisions, determine suitability for employment, rank candidates or produce decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Accordingly, we do not carry out automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 UK GDPR.

11. Transferring Your Personal Data Out of the UK

As part of providing the Services, we may share your personal data with third parties based outside of the UK.

We use OpenAI API services for transcription and AI-generated coaching functionality. Some OpenAI processing may take place in the United States.

OpenAI model-training and data-sharing settings are disabled for our implementation. OpenAI’s standard API retention policies apply, including retention for abuse monitoring purposes for up to 30 days.
