I'm working in this space, reach out to me and we'll talk. Entering the EU market with this is going to be extremely touchy, the privacy protection agencies are going to mow down your clients with fines if you're not _very_ careful....

I'd be happy to discuss this further and learn from your experience. Please reach out to me at oleh.savchuk@prepin.ai and we can schedule a short call to chat about navigating EU market entry properly. Really appreciate the warning!

If there is any 'decision' being made with that screening, you can't run this with GDPR. You can't have the 'machine' make a life-impacting decision such as employing someone, there is no 'explainability', no re-do by a human. Someone with time to spare can ramp up your legal costs in court, and they won't have to pay a dime/cent even if they lose.. because GDPR (also the EUDPS's people will have a party on your expense).

Also considering that your 'AI' collects and processes, voice, name, PII, perhaps financial data, etc... good luck with the DPIA!

You raise excellent points about GDPR compliance. Just to clarify - Prepin is a mock interview practice platform, not an actual hiring tool. Users practice with our AI to prepare for real interviews, so no employment decisions are being made. That said, you're absolutely right about data processing concerns - we still handle voice, PII, etc. during practice sessions. We'd definitely benefit from your expertise on proper GDPR compliance for AI-powered interview practice tools.

Would love to discuss the regulatory landscape further - please reach out to oleh.savchuk@prepin.ai when you have a chance.
