Privacy policy
Rehearse helps you prepare for job interviews. To do that, you share things that matter: your CV, your experience and your spoken answers. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with and the choices you have.
Who we are
Rehearse (“we”, “us”) is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
For anything about your data, email hello@rehearseinterviews.co.uk.
What we collect
- Account details: your email address and name, and your target role if you add one. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
- Your CV: the file you upload and the text extracted from it.
- Your stories: the STAR stories drafted for you, and anything you write or edit.
- Job adverts: adverts you paste in, and the analysis and questions created from them.
- Questions you plan to ask an interviewer, and their order.
- Interview answers: your recordings, their transcripts, your self-ratings and the feedback on them.
- Usage records: when you use features such as story drafting or feedback, so we can apply fair-use limits and manage costs.
- Technical data: standard information your browser sends when you visit, such as your IP address, kept in our hosting provider’s server logs.
Please don’t include sensitive information you don’t need to. CVs don’t usually need details such as your date of birth, health, religion or ethnicity, and Rehearse doesn’t need them. If your CV includes them, consider removing them before you upload it.
How we use it, and our lawful basis
| What we do | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Create and run your account, and provide Rehearse to you | Contract: we need it to provide the service you signed up for |

We don’t sell your data, we don’t use it for advertising, and we don’t make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects based only on automated processing. The scores and feedback Rehearse gives are practice aids for you alone.
Who we share it with
We use trusted providers to run Rehearse. They process data only on our instructions.

Where data is transferred outside the UK, it is protected by safeguards required by UK data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or an adequacy decision. We may also share data if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
- We keep your account and content for as long as your account is open.
- When you delete something, or close your account, we delete it from our live systems straight away. Copies in backups are removed as backups are replaced, within 30 days.
- Usage records are kept for up to 12 months.
- Data stored in your browser stays there until you delete it or clear your browser data.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- correct data that’s wrong
- have your data deleted
- restrict or object to how we use it
- receive your data in a portable format
- withdraw your consent at any time, for example by deleting your CV
You can delete your CV, stories, jobs, questions and recordings yourself in Settings → Delete all my data. To close your account completely, or to exercise any other right, email hello@rehearseinterviews.co.uk. We’ll respond within one month.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
Cookies and browser storage
Rehearse doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies. We use your browser’s storage only for things the service needs to work: keeping you signed in, your settings, your recordings and saved interviewer voice clips. Because this storage is strictly necessary, we don’t need to ask for consent for it. If we add analytics in future, we’ll update this policy and ask where the law requires.
Security
Your data is sent over encrypted connections. Your CV, stories and jobs are protected so that only your account can access them, and CV files are kept in private storage. No system is completely secure, so please use a strong email account and tell us at hello@rehearseinterviews.co.uk if you think your account has been misused.
Age
Rehearse is for people aged 16 and over. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone younger.
Changes to this policy
We’ll update this page when how we use data changes, and tell you about significant changes by email or in the app before they take effect. See also our terms of use.
