Does Interviews by AI Store My Practice Answers?

Interviews by AI states that practice is private by default and that nothing is stored beyond a transcript. You can answer out loud or in writing, and the site's own wording is that "nothing is stored beyond a transcript." That means you should assume a text record of your answer exists for the session, but not that your audio recording is kept.

What the site says about storage

The practice step on interviewsby.ai is described in three parts:

• Input options: Answer out loud or in writing, "just like the real thing."
• Storage: "Nothing is stored beyond a transcript."
• Privacy: "Private by default."

So the product's stated position is that your practice answer is not retained beyond a transcript. The site does not publish a retention period, a deletion process, or a data-processing detail on the page, so treat the transcript as the boundary of what persists.

What this means in practice

If you are deciding whether to practice with sensitive material, the relevant question is what ends up in the transcript. A transcript is a text version of your spoken or written answer, so anything you say out loud can appear there. If you would not want a hiring manager to read a sentence, do not say it during practice.

A concrete example: you are preparing for a business analyst interview and want to rehearse a story about a failed project. The transcript will contain your account of that failure. That is fine for practice, but it is a reason to keep names, client details, or confidential figures out of your answer.

Audio vs. text input

Both paths lead to the same stated outcome: a transcript, not the original recording. The site does not say whether the transcript is deleted after the session, so if that matters to you, check the current privacy terms before relying on it.

Feedback and what it is built from

The FAQ explains that feedback is based on three things:

1. The job description you provide
2. The question asked
3. Your recorded answer

This is worth knowing because it tells you what the system reads to generate feedback. It also means the quality of your feedback depends on how much detail you put into the job description — the site says the more detail you give, the more tailored the questions are.

Practical steps if privacy matters to you

1. Paste a job description, not personal data. The generator works from the job posting, so there is no need to include your name, employer, or contact details.
2. Practice the answer, then strip identifying details. Rehearse the structure and the outcome; leave out client names and figures you would not repeat publicly.
3. Use text input if you want to control exactly what becomes the transcript. With written answers, you see the transcript as you create it.
4. Check the current privacy terms if retention or deletion is a deciding factor, since the page does not specify a retention window.

The bottom line

Interviews by AI presents practice as private by default with nothing stored beyond a transcript. If your concern is whether your voice recording is kept, the site's answer is no. If your concern is whether a text record of your answer exists, the site's answer is yes — a transcript. Plan your practice answers accordingly, and verify the current privacy policy if you need a firm retention guarantee.
