Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Gonu AI ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered interview preparation platform. Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

Account Data

When you register for Gonu AI, we collect your name, email address, and any profile information you choose to provide. This information is used to create and manage your account.

Session Data

We collect data about your interview practice sessions, including session duration, questions answered, scores, and performance trends. This helps us provide personalized feedback and track your progress over time.

Audio Transcription

When you use voice-based features, we process audio recordings to generate transcriptions. Audio data is processed in real time and is not permanently stored unless you explicitly save a session. Transcriptions may be retained to improve AI model performance, in anonymized form.

Device & Usage Information

We automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and interactions with our interface. This helps us maintain service reliability and improve user experience.

Google Account Data

If you choose to sign in with Google or connect your Google account, we may access the following data with your explicit consent:

  • Google Profile Information: Your name, email address, and profile picture — used for account creation and display within the app.
  • Google Calendar (read-only): Upcoming calendar events — used solely to display your upcoming interview schedules on your dashboard. We do not modify, create, or delete any calendar events.
  • Gmail (read-only): Email subjects and sender names for interview-related emails — used solely to highlight relevant interview communications on your dashboard. We do not read full email bodies, send emails, or modify any emails on your behalf.

Google data is only accessed when you explicitly connect your Google account through the OAuth consent flow. You can disconnect Google access at any time from your account settings, which immediately revokes our access to your Google data.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Gonu AI's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically:

  • We only request access to Google data that is necessary for the features described above.
  • We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements.
  • We do not sell Google user data to third parties.
  • We do not use Google user data for purposes unrelated to the functionality of Gonu AI.
  • We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless: (a) we have your explicit consent, (b) it is necessary for security purposes, (c) it is required by law, or (d) the data is anonymized for internal operations.
  • Google Calendar and Gmail data is only used to display information on your personal dashboard. It is never shared, transferred, or used for any other purpose.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • Service delivery: To provide AI-powered interview coaching, real-time feedback, and session analytics.
  • Service improvement: To analyze usage patterns, fix bugs, and enhance features of the platform.
  • AI assistance: To personalize responses, improve transcription accuracy, and refine model performance.
  • Analytics: To understand how users interact with Gonu AI and measure product effectiveness.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With your consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share specific data.
  • Service providers: With trusted vendors who help operate our infrastructure (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal compliance: When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public.
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. We implement the following safeguards:

  • Encryption at rest: All stored personal data is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
  • Access controls: Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
  • Security audits: We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments.

No system is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data, which you can exercise through your account settings or by contacting us:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.

Gonu AI is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
