Your data.
Our responsibility.

We take privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. Plain English. No legal jargon.

Who We Are

'You' refers to anyone who uses our website, submits a form, or engages with our services — whether as a company looking to hire, or a creative professional looking for work.

Information collected automatically:
  • Pages visited on our website

  • How you found our website (referral source)
  • Time spent on pages

We do not collect any sensitive personal information such as race, religion, health data, or financial records beyond what is needed to process payments.

  3. Send confirmation emails and updates about your submission
  4. Process payments for placement fees
  5. Improve our matching system and service quality over time
