Privacy Policy

Last updated September 7, 2026

PrepOutLoud is operated by Prep Out Loud LLC (“we,” “us”) and provides a spoken mock-interview practice tool. You can try it without creating an account. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices. PrepOutLoud is intended for users in the United States.

What we collect

Account information. When you sign in, we receive your email address and basic profile (such as your name) from your chosen sign-in provider, which we use to identify your account.
Trying without an account. You can take an interview without signing up. Anonymous sessions are not linked to a name or email. We collect basic device and network signals (IP address, approximate region, browser details) to prevent abuse and keep the free tier available.
Interview content. You answer questions by speaking. Your spoken answers are processed by third-party AI providers to run the interview and produce your feedback. We store the transcript of the conversation, the AI-generated assessments and feedback, and your session settings (competencies, target level). We do not store your raw audio — it is processed in real time and then discarded.
Feedback you give. Your responses to the short in-app feedback questions.
Usage data. Basic events about how you use the app (for example, starting or finishing an interview) and first-party page analytics: the page you visited, the referring site or campaign tag, and your browser type. For landing-page tests, we use a random browser identifier lasting up to 30 days to keep the page version consistent and connect subsequent page visits and interview activity. We measure foreground page time, an activity-time estimate, scroll progress and which guidance sections you open. We do not record typed content or audio for this page measurement. If you arrived through a Google ad, Google Ads conversion measurement can receive your signup, interview start, completed interview, or single-question feedback event and its ad-click attribution. These are reported separately; free access is not reported as paid revenue. We do not send Google your email address, interview answers, transcript, or feedback, and Enhanced Conversions is not enabled. The Google tag is not loaded for organic visitors or passive browsing, or when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. On mockrn.com we also load the Meta pixel for every visitor, which tells Meta (Facebook and Instagram) that you visited the site, reports when you start an interview, claim a free month, or buy, and if you have an account, shares your email address with Meta in scrambled form so it can match your visit to your account. Like the Google tag, it never receives your interview answers, transcript, or feedback. We do not load it at all if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. You can also limit this in your Facebook and Instagram ad settings, or with browser tracking protection. If you create an account, we keep the source that first brought you to the site.

How we use it

To run your interview, generate your feedback and level read, and show your progress over time.
To operate, secure, debug, and improve the product.
To send account holders a small number of product emails (for example, a reminder after you sign up or finish an interview). Every such email has a one-click unsubscribe, and you can opt out any time in Settings. Emails needed to operate your account (such as sign-in codes) are sent regardless.

We do not sell your personal information.

Service providers

We share data with third-party vendors who process it on our behalf, including:

AI providers — to run the interview and generate your feedback. Per their API policies, the data we submit is not used to train their models.
Authentication providers — to let you sign in; we receive your email and basic profile.
Cloud infrastructure providers — hosting and data storage.
Email delivery — to send you notifications.
Advertising measurement — Google Ads, only to connect an ad-attributed visit with a signup or practice milestone; and Meta, which receives page views, conversion events, and a hashed email address from mockrn.com.

Share cards

You can create a public share card from a completed interview. A card is created only when you choose to share. The public page shows only your result level and a short quote from your feedback, never your transcript, answers, or detailed scores. You can delete a share link at any time in Settings, which takes the public page down.

Data retention and deletion

We retain your interviews and results so you can see your progress, for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account yourself at any time in Settings. Deletion immediately and permanently erases your account, interviews, results, share links, and sign-in identity from our live systems. Encrypted backups are kept for disaster recovery and age out automatically within 90 days; we do not use backups to restore deleted accounts. You can also request access to, or deletion of, your data by emailing privacy@prepoutloud.com.

Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and secure secret storage. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

Children

PrepOutLoud is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

United States only

The service is intended for users in the United States and is not directed at the EU/EEA, the UK, or other regions. If you access it from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative.

AI-generated feedback

Feedback and level reads are generated by AI, are for practice and coaching only, and are not professional, hiring, legal, or career advice. They may be inaccurate.

Changes

We may update this policy and will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated in-app.
