    1. Introduction

    Welcome to Vocaid ("we," "us," or "our"). Vocaid Technologies, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered voice interview practice and recruitment platform (the "Service").

    By accessing or using Vocaid, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our Service immediately.

    This policy applies to all users of our Service, including individual job seekers (B2C), organizational recruiters and hiring managers (B2B), and candidates invited to interview through organizational links.

    Data Protection Contact: support@vocaid.ai

    2. Information We Collect

    Personal Information

    We collect personal information that you provide directly to us, including:

    • Full name and email address
    • Account credentials (hashed and encrypted)
    • Phone number (for verification purposes)
    • Resume and professional information (job history, education, skills)
    • Date of birth (for age verification — you must be 18 or older)
    • Organization name and role (for B2B accounts)
    • Payment information (processed securely through Stripe — we do not store card numbers)

    Automatically Collected Information

    When you use our platform, we automatically collect certain information, including:

    • Device information (browser type, operating system, device model)
    • IP address and approximate geographic location
    • Usage patterns, page views, and session duration
    • Performance metrics and error logs
    • Referral source and landing page URL
    • Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies (see Section 12)

    AI Processing

    When you use our interview features, our AI systems process the following data with your explicit consent:

    • Audio recordings of your interview responses
    • Transcripts generated from your spoken responses via speech-to-text AI
    • Voice characteristics including pace, clarity, and filler word frequency, derived from your transcript and response timing
    • AI-generated performance scores, feedback, and coaching recommendations
    • Derived numeric representations (embeddings) of your resume, transcripts, and profile, used to personalize coaching and match job listings (see "Derived Data and Embeddings" below)

    Derived Data and Embeddings

    To power search, coaching, and job matching, we convert some of your content — your resume, interview transcripts, feedback, and profile details — into numeric representations called embeddings. Embeddings are derived from your personal data and we treat them as personal data: they are stored securely with your account, they are never shared with third parties for their own purposes, and they are deleted when the underlying content is deleted, including when you exercise your deletion rights (see "Your Rights").

    Job Listings and Matching

    We aggregate publicly posted job listings from third-party job boards and, if you have a profile or uploaded resume, compare their requirements with your skills and preferences to suggest relevant roles. This matching happens inside Vocaid: job boards do not receive your profile, resume, or identity from us. If you click through to an external listing, you leave Vocaid and the destination site's own privacy policy applies; we record the click (which listing, when) for 180 days to improve suggestions.

    3. Voice Processing Notice

    Vocaid uses advanced speech-to-text and voice analysis technology to process your spoken interview responses. This section provides specific details about how your voice data is handled.

    What We Process

    • Speech-to-text transcription: Your spoken words are converted to text in real-time using third-party AI services (Microsoft Azure Speech Services, Azure OpenAI, Deepgram, ElevenLabs). Audio is streamed, processed, and not permanently stored by these providers beyond the processing session.
    • Voice analysis: We analyze speech characteristics including pace (words per minute), use of filler words, pauses, sentence structure, and overall clarity to provide communication coaching feedback.
    • Voice patterns: Acoustic features of your voice may be analyzed as part of interview feedback. These patterns are considered biometric information under certain laws (see Section 7).
    • AI Coach synthetic voice (optional): The AI Coach can read its coaching tips and a short summary of your feedback aloud using an AI-generated voice (ElevenLabs text-to-speech). This is text-to-speech only — your text is sent for synthesis and no microphone audio or recording of your voice is sent on this path. It is opt-in and off by default. This is a speech-output feature and is separate from the voice interview agent described above.

    What We Do Not Do

    • We do not create permanent voiceprints or voice identification profiles
    • We do not use your voice recordings to identify you across sessions or platforms
    • We do not sell, license, or share raw audio recordings with third parties for their own purposes
    • We do not use emotion inference or sentiment analysis on voice recordings (prohibited under EU AI Act Article 5(1)(f) for workplace contexts)

    Voice data retention: Raw audio recordings are retained for 90 days after each session, then permanently deleted. Interview transcripts are retained for 180 days after each session, then permanently deleted. Derived analytics (scores and feedback) are retained while your account is active.

    4. How We Use Your Information

    We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

    • Provide, maintain, and improve our interview practice and recruitment services
    • Generate personalized interview questions based on your resume, target role, and experience level
    • Suggest and rank relevant job listings by comparing role requirements with your profile, resume, and preferences
    • Produce performance analytics, scores, and coaching feedback from your interview sessions
    • Process audio recordings to deliver comprehensive interview feedback
    • Process payments, manage your subscription, and administer your account
    • Send transactional communications (interview results, account notifications, password resets)
    • Send marketing communications about tips and new features (only with your opt-in consent)
    • Ensure the security, integrity, and availability of our platform
    • Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities
    • Conduct aggregated, anonymized analytics to improve our AI models (see Section 6)

    For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

    1. Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): For biometric processing, video analysis, voice analysis, marketing communications, and optional AI training data usage
    2. Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): To provide the Service you have subscribed to, process payments, and deliver interview feedback
    3. Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f)): For platform security, fraud prevention, and aggregated analytics
    4. Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): For tax records, law enforcement requests, and regulatory compliance

    5. AI and Automated Decision-Making

    Vocaid uses artificial intelligence throughout the interview process. We believe in transparency about how AI affects your experience.

    What Our AI Does

    • Generates tailored interview questions based on the job description and your resume
    • Conducts voice-based interviews using natural language processing
    • Transcribes your spoken responses in real-time
    • Scores your interview performance across multiple dimensions (communication, problem-solving, technical depth, leadership, clarity)
    • Provides detailed coaching feedback and improvement suggestions

    What Our AI Does Not Do

    • Make final hiring decisions — all AI outputs are recommendations, not decisions
    • Infer emotions or emotional states (prohibited under EU AI Act for workplace contexts)
    • Use facial recognition to identify individuals
    • Apply different scoring criteria based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics
    • Share individual results with anyone without your consent (B2C) or your organization's authorized access (B2B)

    Human Oversight

    For B2B hiring workflows, AI-generated scores and analysis are presented as recommendations to human reviewers. Hiring managers retain full authority over hiring decisions. Candidates may request human review of any AI-generated score or assessment.

    Limitations

    AI-generated scores are probabilistic assessments, not objective measurements. Performance may vary based on language, accent, audio quality, internet connection, and other factors. Scores should be interpreted as one data point among many, not as definitive evaluations of a candidate's abilities.

    6. AI Training and Model Improvement

    We are committed to transparency about how your data may be used to improve our AI systems.

    If you opt in to AI model improvement during onboarding or before an interview session, your anonymized and aggregated interview data may be used to improve Vocaid's AI models. This includes anonymized transcripts, scoring patterns, and aggregated behavioral signals.

    We do not use your raw audio recordings, video recordings, or personally identifiable information for AI training. All training data is irreversibly anonymized before use.

    You can opt out of AI training data usage at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at support@vocaid.ai. Opting out does not affect your access to or experience with the Service.

    Third-Party AI Services

    We use the following third-party AI services to power our platform. Your data is processed under our Data Processing Agreements with each provider:

    • Azure OpenAI Service (Microsoft): Powers interview conversation, question generation, and scoring. Data is not used to train Microsoft's models.
    • Deepgram: Powers the real-time voice interview agent (speech-to-text, conversation flow, and speech synthesis). Audio is processed in real-time and not retained.
    • ElevenLabs: Powers the real-time voice interview agent across all interview languages — speech-to-text, speech synthesis, and conversation relay. Audio is processed in real-time and not retained.
    • Azure Face API (Microsoft): Used for face detection and liveness verification only (not facial recognition). No Limited Access features are used.
    • Anthropic (PBC): Powers the interview conversation (question flow and follow-up questions, routed via OpenRouter) and selected AI assistance features (in-app assistant/tour coach, content generation), which call Anthropic's API directly. Interview scoring, feedback, coaching chat, and resume analysis run on Azure OpenAI and are routed to Anthropic only where our data processing agreement with Anthropic covers that data. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train its models.
    • OpenRouter Inc.: Routing layer that relays interview-conversation and content-generation prompts to Anthropic Claude models; processes prompt content in transit. It does not receive your resume, scores, or feedback.

    7. Biometric and Sensitive Data

    Video recording, facial liveness verification, gaze tracking, and camera-based behavioral analysis are currently disabled across Vocaid — no video is captured and no facial or camera-derived data is collected or processed. Our Service does process your voice through audio recordings and transcripts to provide interview feedback; we do not create voiceprints and we do not use your voice to identify you (see "Voice Processing Notice"). If we re-enable any camera-based feature in the future, we will update this policy, notify you in advance, and ask for your separate, explicit consent before any collection begins.

    We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from your biometric data. Biometric data is never shared with third parties for their own commercial purposes.

    Illinois BIPA Notice

    If you are a resident of Illinois, the Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14) provides you with specific rights regarding your biometric data. We provide this written notice and obtain your written consent before collecting biometric identifiers or biometric information. You may contact us at support@vocaid.ai to exercise your BIPA rights.

    Purpose of Collection

    We process voice data (audio recordings and transcripts) solely for the purpose of providing interview feedback and coaching recommendations. This data is not used for identification purposes. While camera-based features are disabled, no facial geometry data is collected for any purpose.

    Consent

    Because camera-based features are disabled, no facial geometry or video data is collected today, in any account type. Interview practice is audio-only. Any future reactivation of these features (for example, in organizational hiring contexts) will be preceded by written notice and will require your explicit, informed consent before each session, and this section — including the Illinois BIPA notice below — will govern that processing.

    Retention and Destruction

    • Raw audio recordings: Retained for 90 days, then permanently deleted via secure erasure
    • Video recordings, facial detection data, and liveness verification: Not currently collected — these features are disabled platform-wide (see the consent paragraph in this section)
    • Derived scores and feedback: Retained while your account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion
    • Historical camera-derived data collected before these features were disabled has been permanently deleted

    8. Data Sharing and Transfers

    We share your personal data only in the following circumstances:

    • Service Providers: With trusted third-party providers who process data on our behalf (cloud hosting, payment processing, AI services) under strict Data Processing Agreements
    • B2B Organizations: If you are a candidate invited through an organizational link, your interview results and scores are shared with the inviting organization as disclosed before your interview
    • Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or government regulation
    • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (you will be notified)
    • With Your Consent: In any other circumstance where you have provided explicit consent

    Cross-Border Data Transfers

    Vocaid operates globally. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States. For transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. For transfers from Brazil, we use ANPD-approved transfer mechanisms under the LGPD.
