Interview Bank · Last updated 25 August 2026

Interview Bank holds the most specific record of your career you are ever likely to write down. This page says exactly where it goes, which on most days is nowhere.

Who we are

Interview Bank is made by 312 IT Consulting. You can reach a human at support@312itconsulting.com.

What leaves your iPhone, and when

Your stories, their scores, your jobs and your whole bank live in the app's own storage on your device. We hold no copy of any of it. Writing, scoring, tagging and searching happen on the phone and send nothing.

Three things do leave, and this page exists to name all three:

• Story text, when a paid user asks for an AI feature and has consented. Described in full below. On the free tier this never happens.
• A random identifier for your install. Sent with AI requests so we can cap what any one device spends. It is a random value generated on first launch, it is not your Apple ID, your advertising identifier or anything Apple gives us, and deleting the app destroys it.
• Settings the app fetches at launch. The app asks our server for its current prompts and configuration. That request sends no story text and nothing about you.

This changed in August 2026. An earlier version of this page said the free tier made no network request at all. The app now fetches its settings and counts which version of a screen you saw, so that sentence had to go. What has not changed, and is the part that matters: nothing you write is sent anywhere unless you are on the paid tier and have said yes to the screen below.

AI features send what you ask them to, and say so first

Written critique, mock interviews, job description analysis and gap reports can use a model that cannot run on your phone. Two things both have to be true before a single word of yours is sent: you are on the paid tier, and you have said yes to a screen that names exactly what goes and who receives it. Miss either one and the app answers from a rule running on your phone instead, and sends nothing at all.

That means the free tier never transmits your writing. If you say no, or never pay, scoring, your bank and gap analysis keep working, and you get structural review instead of written critique. You can change your mind either way in Settings, at any time.

When you do use one of those features:

• What is sent: the text of the story, transcript or job description involved, and the instructions we wrap around it. No name, no email address, and nothing from the rest of your bank.
• Who it is sent to: our own server, which forwards it to Anthropic, the maker of Claude, purely to generate the response. Anthropic processes it for that request and does not use it to train models.
• When: only when you tap the control that does it. There is no background syncing of story text.
• What we keep: the number of tokens a request used, so we can stop a runaway bill. We keep no copy of what was sent — we could not produce a story you sent us if you asked us to. The single exception is a report you choose to file, described below.

Every piece of AI output in the app carries a permanent badge naming what produced it, so you can always tell which sentences came from a model and which came from a rule running on your phone.

Reporting something the model said

Every piece of AI output in the app has a way to report it — if it was abusive, wrong about you, or unsafe, we want to know, because that is usually a fault in our instructions that we can fix for everybody without an app update.

Filing one is the only time text you wrote or received is stored on our side, and it happens because you asked for it:

• What is sent: the output you are complaining about, which of four reasons you picked, the name of the screen it came from, and anything you type in the note field.
• What is not: your name, your email address, and the rest of your bank. It is attached to the same random install identifier described above and to nothing else, so we can read the complaint and cannot tell who wrote it.
• Why it is kept: a report nobody can read is a button that lies. The app tells you we read every one of these, and this is what makes that true.

If you never file a report, nothing you write is ever stored on our side.

Signing in is optional

The app offers Sign in with Apple, and you can decline it and use everything anyway. It is the only sign-in we offer and we will never add another.

If you do sign in, here is the entire record we create:

• What we store: a one-way SHA-256 hash of the anonymous identifier Apple gives us for you, and the dates it was created and last used. That is the whole row.
• What we do not store: your name and your email address. Apple offers them at sign-in and we ask for neither, because nothing in the product sends mail and holding an address for a purpose that does not exist is not a neutral act.
• What it does today: holds that identifier, and nothing more. It is the foundation for letting a purchase and your remaining mock-interview hours follow you to a new iPhone; that restore is not built yet, and we would rather say so than imply it works.
• Deleting it: Settings › Account › Delete account, inside the app. It removes the record on our side for good. Your stories are yours and stay on your device — deleting the account does not touch them. If you delete your Apple Account or withdraw this app's access to it, Apple tells our server and we delete the record without being asked.

Measuring which version of a screen works

We sometimes show two versions of a screen — for example, whether to offer sign-in at the start or at the end — and count which one people prefer. When that happens the app sends: which version you saw, which of a handful of actions you took on it, and a random per-install number so the same person is not counted twice.

It carries no name, no email address, no device fingerprint and nothing you have written. It is a random value minted on your install and destroyed when you delete the app. We are naming it here because it is data leaving your phone, and a policy that mentions only the flattering transmissions is not a policy.

What we never do

• No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
• No analytics or telemetry SDKs, and no product built by anyone else watching you use ours. The only thing we count is described above, and it is counted by our own code.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.
• No selling or sharing data with anyone, at any price.
• No third-party SDKs in the app at all.

The waitlist

If you joined the waitlist on this site, we hold your email address and the moment you submitted it. Nothing else — no name, no IP address, no referrer. We will use it to tell you when the app is out, and then to stop. To be removed, email us and it is deleted.

Purchases

Payment is handled entirely by Apple. We never see your card details, and we receive no personal information from a purchase — only a signed receipt that tells the app whether the paid tier is unlocked.

Your data, and getting rid of it

Your stories live in the app's own storage on your device. Deleting the app deletes them, and because we hold no copy there is nothing of your writing for us to delete on our side.

If you signed in with Apple, there is one record — the hashed identifier described above — and you can destroy it yourself from Settings › Account › Delete account. You never have to email anybody to be forgotten. If you are on the waitlist, email us and that row goes too.

Children

Interview Bank is intended for people preparing for professional job interviews and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what leaves your device, the app will tell you inside the app rather than quietly updating this page. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
