V1 Ready is operated by V1 Consulting Co. ("we," "us," "our"). This policy explains what data the V1 Ready mobile app collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and what control you have over it. It applies to the V1 Ready app on all platforms.
Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we also receive the name associated with that account, and — where you choose Apple's Hide My Email — a private relay address instead of your personal one. If you register with email and password, we store the password only as a secure hash and never in readable form.
Profile and onboarding details. The airline you are preparing for, your interview date if you enter one, and whether you have completed onboarding.
Content you create in the app. Your spoken and typed answers and the text transcripts produced from them, the scores and written coaching generated for those answers, answers you save to your Library, notes you add, questions you bookmark or flag, questions and answers you submit to our question bank, and messages you send us through the in-app feedback form.
Audio recordings. When you record a spoken answer, the audio is transmitted to our servers for transcription and scoring. See "Audio recordings" below for how it is handled.
Subscription information. Your subscription tier, the product you purchased, its expiry, and the purchase receipt used to validate entitlement. We never receive or store your card number or bank details.
Usage information. Practice session records, question counts, scores over time, study streaks, and monthly usage counters we maintain to apply plan limits and prevent abuse.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, health data, or any advertising identifier, and V1 Ready contains no advertising or analytics SDKs.
We use your data only to operate V1 Ready: to authenticate you and keep your account secure; to transcribe, score, and coach the answers you record or type; to store your Library, notes, and progress and sync them across your devices; to determine whether your subscription entitles you to a feature; to apply plan usage limits and prevent abuse of our services; to respond when you contact us; and to understand which features are used so we can improve the app.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not use it for advertising, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not combine it with third-party data to track you across other apps or websites.
We rely on a small number of service providers to run V1 Ready. Each processes your data only as needed to perform its function for us:
Our AI providers process your content to return a result to you. Under their applicable API terms, content submitted through their APIs is not used to train their models. They may retain content briefly for security and abuse monitoring in accordance with their own terms before deleting it.
Audio you record is sent to our backend API and passed to our transcription provider. It is processed in memory and is never written to disk or stored in our database — once your transcript is produced, our copy of the audio ceases to exist. We retain the resulting text transcript, because that is what your score, coaching, and Library entry are built from.
We ask for your consent before the first time you record, and microphone access is requested by your operating system. You can decline or later revoke it in your device settings; the app's typed-answer mode does not require a microphone.
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings > Danger Zone > Delete Account in the app. Deletion removes your profile, answers, transcripts, notes, saved items, feedback, and progress from our systems and cannot be undone. Some records may persist briefly in encrypted backups before being overwritten in the ordinary course, and we may retain the minimum records required to meet legal, tax, or fraud-prevention obligations.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to obtain a portable copy, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent you previously gave. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR; residents of California have comparable rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.
Most of these you can exercise directly in the app — your Library shows the answers we hold, and account deletion is immediate and self-service. For anything else, email admin@v1consultingco.com and we will respond within the period required by applicable law. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
V1 Consulting Co. operates in the United States, and our infrastructure and service providers process and store data in the United States. If you use V1 Ready from outside the United States, you understand that your data will be transferred to and processed there, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
Access to your data requires authentication, our database enforces row-level security so you can only reach your own records, every API request is verified against your session, and traffic is encrypted in transit. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take reasonable measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we hold.
V1 Ready is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, email us and we will delete it.
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we will notify you through the app or by email and update the date above. Continued use of V1 Ready after changes constitutes acceptance.
