July'25 update: Introducing Incognito Mode
At Sherlock, we’re building technology that ensures interviews remain secure, transparent, and fair. With our July release, we’re introducing Incognito Mode, a major step forward in how we handle data control, privacy, and permissions.
🔒 Data Control: Your Data Stays With You
We’ve redefined where candidate data lives.
All interviewee data - including video, audio, and screen activity - stays on the candidate’s own system.
Sherlock does not store or upload anything by default.
Data only leaves the device if and when the candidate or interviewer explicitly chooses to share it.
This means candidates remain in full control of their information at every step.
🛡️ Data Privacy: Clear, Transparent Recording
Recording during interviews is now even more transparent.
Sherlock only records video, audio, or screen when the interviewer chooses to record.
A recording indicator is always visible, so candidates know exactly when a recording is happening.
Even when recording is active, the data remains stored on the candidate’s system unless shared.
Transparency is built into the workflow so there are no surprises.
✅ Data Permissions: Minimal & Purpose-Driven
Sherlock requests only the permissions needed to function effectively:
Camera and microphone access for video and audio interviews.
Screen access if the interviewer explicitly initiates screen sharing or recording.
No hidden permissions, no unnecessary data collection.
Why It Matters
With Incognito Mode, Sherlock is setting a new standard for integrity in AI-powered interviewing:
Nothing leaves the candidate’s device without consent.
Recordings are always visible, never hidden.
Permissions are explicit, minimal, and transparent.
This isn’t just compliance - it’s about building trust with candidates and interviewers alike.
