No bot in the call
Verified Call never joins your call, so there is no bot in the participant list. It checks from outside the call and shows the result in the call. We do not record calls.
What is checked, and what the candidate sees
- A personal link. Each candidate gets their own check link, by email from Verified Call or from the interviewer.
- A consent screen first. Before anything is collected, the candidate sees a consent screen that says what happens, and can decline.
- A short check on their own computer. In the Verified Call app, in front of their own camera: a screen light test, reading a few sentences aloud, and a step with their hands and head. It takes about five minutes.
- Checks during the call. The candidate keeps the app open during the call, and it keeps checking.
During the check and the call, the app looks at:
- whether the video comes from a physical camera or camera software
- whether the face in the call stays the same person's
- whether the voice stays the same as in the reading step
- whether an AI tool on our list is in use, or a window is hidden from screen sharing
The app does not record the screen or take pictures of it. The list of apps open on the computer is shared with the interviewer only if the candidate agrees on the consent screen. Everything we collect, and why.
A person can decline and still join
A candidate can decline on the consent screen and still join the meeting. Nobody is kept out of the call. The interviewer sees that the check was not done.
A candidate can also close the app at any time. The interviewer then sees that the check stopped.
Results are advice, not a verdict
The host sees Verified, Needs a look with the proof beside it, or Can't confirm. Results are advice for the host, not a verdict on a person. The interviewer who set up an interview, and their team, can see its results. We do not show results to anyone else.
- We do not make hiring decisions.
- We do not say that a person did something wrong.
- "Can't confirm" means a check could not be done right now. It is not an accusation, and the interviewer decides what it means.
Check data is deleted after about 7 days
We keep check data for 7 days after the interview's last activity, then delete it. We delete sooner if a candidate asks.
- We do not store video or audio from a check or a call on our server.
- Face measurements from the check are held in our server's memory only, and deleted when the call ends or after 4 hours at the latest.
- When a check finds a problem with the camera or face, small stills are shown to the interviewer. They are held in memory only and deleted when the call ends, soon after the guest leaves, or after 2 hours at the latest.
- The voice pattern stays on the candidate's computer for that call only.
- Every interview starts fresh. Nothing about a person is carried from one interview to the next.
A candidate can ask us to delete their data or send them a copy by writing to [email protected]. How long we keep each kind of data.
Who processes what
We use the services below to run Verified Call. We do not sell data, show ads or build advertising profiles.
| Who | What for |
|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services, in Oregon, United States | Hosts our server and its disk, and the app downloads |
| Deepgram | Turns the sentences a candidate reads aloud into text. We ask Deepgram not to keep the audio and not to use it to improve its models |
| Resend, when email is on | Sends the check link email and the call notices |
| jsDelivr and Google | Serve the open-source hand and face tracking files when the copy inside the app cannot be used |
| Google Sheets and Apps Script | Stores the request form on this website |
| Calendly | Books a demo call from this website |
| Microsoft Clarity | Shows us how people use this website |
The only other cases are a court or law enforcement when the law requires it, and a buyer if the business is sold or merged. What each service receives is in the privacy policy.
How we test
Each result on our Research page shows what we tested, the result, the false alarms, the sample, the date and how sure we can be.
For example, in our own testing there were 0 of 30 false alarms with no AI tool open and 0 of 30 with everyday apps open (October 4, 2026). On recordings of 70 people, 962 of 970 sessions with the real person were cleared by the face check (October 1, 2026).
From the founder
We publish our false alarms because you should not have to take our word for it.
