This could include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, access times, and pages viewed. This data helps us improve our site and provide a better, more personalized service.
- Information from third parties: In some instances, we may receive information about you from third parties, such as payment processors or analytics providers, always in accordance with their privacy policies and applicable laws.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, primarily to provide and improve our expert interview coaching services:
- To provide, operate, and maintain our services, including delivering bespoke coaching, conducting mock interviews, and optimizing resumes.
- To personalize your experience and tailor our services to your specific career needs and goals.

3. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:
- With your consent: We may share your information with third parties when you provide explicit consent for us to do so.
- Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, website hosting, data analysis, email delivery, customer support, and marketing assistance. These service providers are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
- 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 government agency).
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
4. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any password or login credentials confidential.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal 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 personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:
- The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
