Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 6, 2026
Crackr AI is an open-source interview practice tool. This page explains what data we collect, why, and who we share it with. We've written it in plain language on purpose.
What we collect
Your account
When you sign in via Google or GitHub, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Clerk (our auth provider). We store your email to identify your account and send you receipts.
Your interview sessions
We store the code you write, the transcript of the conversation with the AI interviewer, and basic session metadata (problem name, duration, when it happened). Your audio is streamed in real time for transcription and is not stored on our servers.
Payments
Credit purchases go through Polar. We never see your card details — Polar handles everything and sends us a confirmation with your email and the credits purchased so we can top up your balance.
Anonymous analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use the site (page views, country, device type). This data is aggregated and contains nothing personally identifiable.
Why we collect it
- To run your interview sessions and generate scorecards
- To manage your credit balance
- To send you purchase receipts
- To improve the quality of interview questions and AI feedback
We don't sell your data. That's not our business.
Who we share data with
Only the providers required to actually run the product. Here's exactly who gets what:
- Clerk — handles login and stores your account info
- Anthropic — receives your code and transcript to power the AI interviewer and generate your scorecard
- Deepgram — receives your audio stream for real-time transcription
- ElevenLabs — converts the interviewer's text responses to speech
- LiveKit — handles the real-time audio connection during sessions
- Polar — processes payments and manages your subscription
- Vercel — hosts the frontend and collects anonymous usage analytics
Cookies
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for authentication (set by Clerk). No advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics cookies.
Data retention
We keep your account and session data for as long as your account is active. If you want your data deleted, email us and we'll take care of it within 30 days.
Children
Crackr AI is not for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top. Nothing will change without that date updating first.
