Performance of a contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, such as providing the career consulting services you have purchased.
Consent: When you have given explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as receiving marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Legal obligation: When processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations.
Legitimate interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes improving services, managing our business, and ensuring the security of our site.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data hosting, analytics, and marketing assistance. These service providers are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, where your information may be transferred as a business asset.
With Your Consent: We may share your information with other parties with your explicit consent.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Depending on your location, particularly if you are in the EU/EEA or Switzerland, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal information.
The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal information, under certain conditions.
The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information, under certain conditions.
The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information, under certain conditions.
The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
The right to withdraw consent: If we are processing your personal information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and use personal information about you, including to serve interest-based advertising. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or other tools we may provide.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. If you are located in the EU/EEA or Switzerland, this means your personal information may be transferred to countries outside of those regions. When transferring data internationally, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws, using appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by relevant authorities.

Our site may contain links to other websites not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.
