We use information to create and manage accounts, display profiles, match opportunities, operate privacy-first contact requests, and provide customer support.

We may use aggregated or de-identified data to analyze platform performance, improve features, maintain security, and develop new services.

With your consent or as permitted by law, we may send service-related notices, product updates, or marketing communications. You can opt out of promotional messages at any time.

We share information with service providers that help us operate the platform, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security vendors, subject to contractual safeguards.

We do not sell personal information.

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

When information is no longer required, we delete or de-identify it using reasonable technical and organizational measures.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port certain personal information, or to object to certain processing.

You can update much of your profile information directly in your account settings. For other requests, contact privacy@facultyworld.com.
