Privacy & Data Protection Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the essential information necessary to administer your virtual internships: your name, email address, password hash, and the project repository and video URLs you submit for review.

2. Cookie Security & No Third-Party Tracking

We do not use invasive third-party ad tracking cookies. Authentication is strictly secured via HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict cookies to protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

3. Synthetic Data Protection in Specialized Domains

In domains involving healthcare analytics or defensive security, all curriculum datasets and clinical samples provided to students are 100% synthetic, de-identified mock data generated for educational sandbox use.

4. Public Verification Records

When you unlock a verified credential or publish an ATS resume snapshot, the associated credential ID, recipient name, domain title, and completion date become publicly queryable via our verification registry. You retain the right to request revocation at any time.
