Privacy Policy

Slash-In Ltd.

Last updated: April 14, 2025

1. Personal Data Collection

We collect personal data you provide for using the platform, which may include: name, contact details (email, potentially phone), educational background, professional experience, skills, job/collaboration preferences, and optionally, assessment results. Fields essential for
basic service functionality are marked as mandatory during registration or profile completion.

2. Anonymity Commitment (Talent Users)

Protecting Talent anonymity is a core principle. We achieve this by presenting your profile using pseudonymous identifiers to potential Employers or Partners initially. Personally identifiable information (like your full name or direct contact details collected during registration) is only disclosed to a specific Employer or Partner when you take an explicit action signifying consent, such as applying directly for a posted role or explicitly agreeing to share your details after an initial contact. You maintain control over when your identifiable information is shared.

3. Usage Data & Analytics - Purpose and Legal Basis

We process certain data based on your interaction with our platform:

Legitimate Interests: To ensure the security, stability, and essential operation of our platform, we process technical data (e.g., IP addresses for security logs, device/browser type for compatibility, interaction timestamps for audits) based on our Legitimate Interests in maintaining a secure and functional service for all users.
Consent: For non-essential analytics aimed at understanding user behavior, improving platform features, and enhancing user experience (which may involve certain cookies or similar technologies), we rely on your explicit Consent. You can manage your consent preferences via our cookie consent tool at any time.

4. Purpose of Data Use

Collected personal data is used to:

Operate and provide the core platform services (matching, facilitating connections based on user action/consent).
Create, manage, and secure user accounts.
Operate the optional Assessment Platform and manage results sharing per user consent.
Improve platform performance, features, and user experience (leveraging aggregated/anonymized data or based on consent).
Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
Monitor for and prevent security incidents, fraud, and misuse.
Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
Send marketing communications, only if you have explicitly opted-in (Clause 11).

5. Data Storage Location

Personal data is primarily stored on secure Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA), specifically in the eu-west-2 (London) region.

7. Assessment Platform (Optional)

Use of the Assessment Platform is voluntary and not required to access other platform services.

8. Data Control in Assessment Platform

Your assessment results are shared with Employers or Partners only upon your specific, explicit consent for each sharing instance, or based on visibility settings you directly control.

Data submitted specifically for the Assessment Platform is retained subject to the main data retention policy (see Clause 41), linked to your account's active status and deletion requests.

Detailed information and preference management are available via our Cookie Consent Banner and our separate Link to Cookie Policy - Slash-In

11. Data Minimization

We are committed to collecting only the personal data that is reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

12. International Data Transfers

While primary data storage is within the EEA (as specified in Clause 32), we may utilize third-party service providers (e.g., for analytics, customer support tools) located outside the EEA. When such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are implemented in compliance with GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or by transferring to countries deemed adequate by the European Commission.

13. Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Data may be shared with the following categories of third parties only when necessary for service provision and under strict conditions:

Employers/Partners: Only identifiable data upon your explicit consent or direct action (e.g., job application).
Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS in the specified region).
Analytics & Security Tools: Providers assisting with platform performance and security monitoring (subject to consent where applicable).
Legal Authorities: If required by law, court order, or vital interests. We require third parties to respect the security and confidentiality of your data.

14. Data Retention Policy

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, including service provision and legal compliance.

Account Activity: Data is retained while your account is considered active.
Account Deletion: Upon receiving a valid deletion request (Clause 24), primary account data will be deleted or fully anonymized within 30 days.
Residual Data Retention: Following the 30-day deletion process, certain necessary residual data (e.g., security logs, anonymized transaction records for legal/audit purposes, legally mandated records) may be retained securely for a limited period, typically up to 90 days, unless a longer retention period is strictly required by applicable law or for ongoing legal claims.
