Advice Needed: interviewing.io refuses to delete recording of my interview
I received an email asking me if it was ok to include my behavioral interview in the upcoming cracking the coding interview book.
I was really shocked by the request. It's been several years since the recording, however, someone on their side must have watched it recently. The interview contains a lot of private and personally identifiable information.
I have asked interviewing.io to delete the recording of behavioral interview. (Yes, I paid for this interview.)
However, they have refused. I tried having back and forth with them, but they still refuse. They keep trying to push me to delete my account instead.
Am I screwed? Is there anything I can do to have a recording of me deleted?

- deletemydataplz 2y agoI did some look it up, and audio recordings fall under CCPA right to be forgotten. (I'm in California.) Might be worth asking a lawyer about it.
- not_your_vase 2y agoOn the internet nobody is a lawyer, of course, including me. But this is in their T&C: > Any and all content, including [...] that you submit [...] through an interview conducted using the Service [...] shall be deemed, and shall remain, your property from the moment of creation. but also > you hereby grant Interviewing.io a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, non-exclusive, license.... Basically they ask every user to accept their claim on prima nocta + first born son, without option to revoke. Have no idea if it's legally enforceable or not, however (that's a proof that I'm really not a lawyer, I guess)
- deletemydataplz 2y agoHmm should it be cautionary tale for anyone thinking of doing practice interviews to stay away from sites that record them? What about CCPA?
- getwiththeprog 2y agoIf they asked for your permission to publish, then it means that they do not think that they currently legally have the right to publish.
