Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Intelligent Forward Design LLC(“plainterview”) handles personal data for two groups: creators (the businesses who sign up) and candidates (the people invited to a chat interview).

From creators: name and email (via our auth provider Clerk), company name, billing details (handled by Stripe — we never see full card numbers), and the job descriptions, questions, and settings you create.

From candidates: the name, email, and CV the inviting creator provides, plus the messages you send during the chat interview and basic technical metadata (timestamps, interaction events). Candidates do not create accounts.

To provide the service: conducting the chat interview, generating summaries, showing transcripts to the inviting creator, sending transactional email (invites and account email), processing payment, and keeping the service secure. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use candidate transcripts to train our own models.

Chat interviews and summaries are produced by large language models accessed through OpenRouter, which routes requests to model providers (e.g. DeepSeek, Anthropic). The interview content is sent to these providers to generate responses. We choose providers that do not train on data passed through the API where that option is available.

We rely on: Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), Resend (transactional email), Railway (hosting and database), and OpenRouter (LLM routing). Each processes data only to provide its part of the service.

We keep creator data for as long as the account is active. Interview and transcript data is retained according to your plan's retention window. When you delete a screening or your account, we delete the associated data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep records to meet legal or accounting obligations.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Creators can edit or delete most data directly in the app. Candidates who want their data accessed or removed can contact the inviting business, or email us and we will route the request.

Data is encrypted in transit. Access is restricted to what is needed to run the service. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect personal data.

The service is not directed to anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

For any privacy question or request, email hi@plainterview.com. We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by a new effective date.
