• Usage Data: We may collect information on how our platform is accessed and used, including your IP address, browser type, and usage patterns, in order to enhance the platform’s functionality and performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in the following ways:

4. Public Sharing of Portfolio Content

The portfolio information that students enter, such as academic details, projects, and CVs, will be publicly available on their individual portfolio pages.

5. Data Security

We implement various security measures to ensure the protection of your personal and academic data. This includes using industry-standard encryption to protect sensitive information and securing our systems to prevent unauthorized access.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security due to the inherent risks involved in transmitting information over the internet.

7. Sharing Information with Recruiters and Hiring Managers

SoftFlow Solutions understands the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to student data. In the event that a student’s details are to be shared with recruiters or hiring managers, we will seek prior permission from the respective college or institution. We will not disclose student information to recruiters or employers without the college’s consent.

8. Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party companies or individuals to facilitate our platform services, such as hosting, data storage, and communication. These third parties will have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

10. Data Retention

We will retain personal and academic information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. After a student graduates or their account is inactive for a period of time, we will continue to retain their portfolio for archival purposes unless the student requests deletion of their data.
