Interviewers asking proprietary details on current/past projects

During an interview, I'm often asked detailed questions about the projects I've worked on at my current company which is a startup. As a Data Scientist, some of the questions seem relevant but I also don't want to disclose information that could be proprietary or IP. Where do I draw the line? TC 110k

I’ve had interviewers ask detailed info about system designs I’ve created... it’s very difficult to answer without violating my employment contract. Whereas I’ve had interviewers disclose info that they probably shouldn’t have told me, including financial information. 🤦‍♂️
