2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for purposes including:

• Providing and improving our services (matching Startups and Tech Enthusiasts).
• Communicating with you (notifications, emails about applications, status updates).
• Analytics and enhancement of the platform (aggregated usage data).
• Legal and security purposes (detecting fraud, enforcing policies, complying with law).

3. Sharing & Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information in limited cases such as:

• With Startups you apply to (e.g., your profile and application message).
• With service-providers acting on our behalf (analytics, email delivery).
• When required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights or third-party rights.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information as long as needed to provide the services, for legal compliance, or as defined by your agreement. You can request deletion of your profile and data at any time (see section 8).

5. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your country/region, you may have rights such as accessing, correcting or deleting your personal data, restricting processing, or objecting to profiling. To exercise these rights or manage your preferences, please contact us (see section 8).

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics and optional personalization. You may disable cookies via your browser settings but certain features may not function properly.

7. Security

We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data. However, no system can guarantee absolute security — please help by maintaining a strong password and reporting any suspicious activity.

8. Data Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

All personal, profile, and usage data collected by SkillBridge are treated as confidential information. SkillBridge commits to protecting user data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

User data is securely stored using appropriate technical and organizational safeguards. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized system administrators and personnel for platform operations, maintenance, analytics, and security purposes only.

SkillBridge shall not disclose, share, or release confidential user data to any third party without user consent, except when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the platform.

These confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations remain in effect even after a user account is deactivated or deleted, except where data retention is required by law.
