Security & compliance
How we protect candidate and customer data — and what we ask of any vendor in your stack.
Interloop handles sensitive data: interview recordings, transcripts, assessment results, and proctoring signals. We design for privacy and security from the ground up. This page summarises our practices; for exactly what we collect and why, see the Privacy Policy.
Encryption
All traffic is served over HTTPS/TLS, with HSTS enforced. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our infrastructure providers (managed Postgres and object storage).
Browser-side biometrics
Face verification and liveness checks run in the candidate's browser — the raw biometric data never leaves their device. We record the proctoring signals (e.g. a flag that gaze left the screen), not the candidate's biometric template. This materially reduces risk versus shipping face data to a server.
Access control
- Role-based access (RBAC) — five predefined roles (Owner, Admin, Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Viewer) scope what each team member can see and do.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for team accounts.
- SSO / SAML available for enterprise.
- Multi-tenant isolation — every record is scoped to its company; data is never shared across tenants.
Application security
- A strict Content-Security-Policy and security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) on every response.
- Rate limiting on public endpoints to prevent abuse.
- Audit logging on data mutations, for traceability.
- Error monitoring (Sentry) with alerting on anomalies.
- Soft-deletes — deletions are recoverable and auditable rather than silently destructive.
Hosting & data residency
The application runs on Vercel's global edge; the primary database is managed Postgres (currently in the Sydney region), and files are stored in AWS S3. For enterprise and government buyers — particularly in the GCC, where in-Kingdom/in-region data residency is often required — regional hosting is scoped per customer. Talk to us early if residency is a requirement.
Your data rights
We support data export and erasure on request, cascading to stored files. This helps you meet candidate rights under GDPR and India's DPDP Act. See DPDP-ready AI hiring for what to check.
Compliance status
- GDPR — supported (data export/erasure, consent, regional storage).
- India DPDP — built DPDP-ready (consent, candidate rights, audit logging, browser-side biometrics).
- SOC 2 — in progress; we're building toward Type II. We'll update this page as it completes (we won't claim a certification we don't hold).
Responsible disclosure
Found a vulnerability? Please email security@interloop.tech with details. We'll acknowledge and work with you on a fix; please don't publicly disclose until it's resolved.
Sub-processors
We rely on a small set of vetted infrastructure providers (hosting, database, storage, email, payments, AI). The current list is maintained in our Privacy Policy.
