CoPilot Interview sends each request only what it needs, such as a short audio segment, a screenshot you choose to take or the text of a question, over an encrypted connection to its API proxy, which passes it to the AI provider and returns the result. In the privacy policy's words, it does not store your interview audio, transcripts, screenshots or answers on its servers: audio is processed in short segments and discarded after transcription. Your session files are saved on your own computer.
This article sets out what goes where, what the servers do keep and the settings you control, using the wording of the privacy policy, which is the governing document.
What happens to each kind of data
| Data | Where it goes | Stored on our servers? |
|---|---|---|
| Audio from your microphone and the call | Short encrypted segments through the proxy to the speech-to-text provider | No; discarded after transcription |
| The question text, plus the résumé and job description you entered | Through the proxy to the AI model you picked; with Dual AI Mode on, to both models | No |
| Screenshots you choose to take | Through the proxy to the AI model | No |
| Text read aloud in the paid-plan voice | ElevenLabs, for text-to-speech | No |
| Session files: questions, answers, transcript and summary | Your computer, in Documents › CoPilot Interview › Sessions | No; they stay on your device |
| Your own API key, if you use one | Stored locally only | No |
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac. Each session file is saved automatically as you go, and you can delete it like any other document.
What the servers do keep
To run, secure and bill the service, the servers keep limited records that never include the content of your interview:
- Diagnostic metadata: the request type, which AI provider handled it, whether it succeeded, timing, language setting, app version and operating system.
- License usage: usage counts and minutes per license key or app install, so plans and hour packs can be metered.
- IP addresses: for paid licenses, the addresses a license key connects from, kept to help prevent license sharing and abuse. IP addresses are also used briefly for rate limiting.
- Account and purchase records: your email and plan, and limited transaction details from Stripe such as payment status, never your full card number. They're kept as required for billing, tax, fraud prevention and legal compliance.
- Support emails, kept for a reasonable period.
The AI and speech providers
The privacy policy lists the providers that may receive content, depending on your plan: Inception (Mercury, the default language model), Cerebras (language models), Groq (speech-to-text and language models), OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini), xAI and ElevenLabs (text-to-speech). Each processes the content to return results under its own terms and privacy policy. Payments are handled by Stripe, and accounts and sign-in by Supabase.
The model you pick decides which language-model provider sees your question. CoPilot Interview can't delete data from a provider's systems on your behalf, so check that provider's terms if it matters to you.
Anonymous interview insights
When you generate a report with 📊 Summary, the app may send a small set of anonymous statistics about the session, such as question titles with their category and difficulty, the interview type and mode, the role, company and seniority if you entered them, report scores and improvement areas, language, duration, app version, operating system and approximate country, plus facts about how the session ran, such as your plan tier, the models selected and which features you used. They never include your answers, transcripts, audio, screenshots, résumé, name, email address or license key, and they aren't linked to your account.
They're on by default except in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, where they're off. Change it with the 📊 Anonymous stats toggle in ⚙ Options or under any report. The privacy policy says insight records are kept indefinitely; turning the toggle off stops further records from being sent.
Your choices
- Turn anonymous stats off in ⚙ Options if you don't want them sent.
- Choose what goes in: the résumé and job description text you enter is what the AI model sees, so trim contact details it doesn't need.
- Delete session files from Documents › CoPilot Interview › Sessions when you no longer need them, including from any cloud-sync trash.
- Email support@copilotinterview.com for access, correction or deletion requests, subject to legal exceptions. See how to delete your account.
- Check consent rules: recording or transcribing a conversation may require other participants' consent where you are, and by capturing an interviewer's audio you confirm you have any consent the law requires.
The website
Separately from the app, the website uses the analytics and advertising tags listed in the privacy policy; the Meta and Reddit pixels don't load in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland. When you click to download, the site records the source that brought you with a one-way hash of your IP address, deleted after 14 days, and doesn't do this in those regions without consent. The service isn't directed at children under 13, and CoPilot Interview does not sell your personal information. For questions to ask any vendor, see our AI interview assistant privacy checklist, and the FAQ answers the common ones in brief.
