Is MiPrep AI safe to use during an interview?

Is MiPrep AI safe? Every answer.

Can the interviewer see MiPrep AI on my shared screen?+

No. On both macOS and Windows, MiPrep uses the operating-system's own "exclude from screen capture" flag. When Zoom, Teams, or Meet asks your OS for a screen frame, MiPrep is not in that frame — the OS itself removes us before the pixel data ever leaves your machine. We verify this on every release with a Zoom + Meet + Teams recording test.

Does MiPrep AI show up in the meeting participant list?+

No. MiPrep AI is a desktop app, not a meeting bot. It captures system audio locally. Nothing about MiPrep AI is visible to the meeting service or the other participants.

Is my audio recorded or stored?+

Transcription runs on your machine or a trusted inference endpoint for the length of the call. The audio itself is not persisted to disk unless you explicitly turn on the interview-review feature. Your resume and JD are processed for the RAG lookup and deleted at the end of the session (or persisted encrypted if you enable saved sessions).

What if the interviewer asks me to share my full desktop?+

The MiPrep AI HUD is still invisible in full-desktop share on Zoom, Meet, and Teams because the OS-level capture flags exclude our window. That said, if the interviewer walks over and physically looks at your laptop screen, they will see it — no software fixes that.

Does MiPrep AI ship signed binaries?+

Yes. The macOS app is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple; the Windows installer is code-signed. That means your operating system can verify who built the app before it runs, and you install it like any other desktop app.

What if MiPrep AI does leak on screen share?+

We pay a bug bounty. Email [email protected] with a reproducible video and the affected platform + OS version. If verified, you get paid. It's how we align our incentives with yours — we don't want that leak either.
