Privacy Policy
Draft document for the pilot. A lawyer must review it before the public launch.
This policy explains which personal data the SkillBridge platform processes, why, and how we protect it. We follow the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Personal Data and its Protection.
1. Data operator
The platform is operated by the SkillBridge project team. For personal data questions, contact us at skillbridge.team.kz@gmail.com.
2. What data we process
Students: full name, email, phone, institution, specialty, year of study, graduation year, grades and GPA, achievements and uploaded documents, skills, portfolio links. Staff of institutions and companies: full name, position, work email. Organizations: name, BIN, city, industry. Technical data: IP address and browser at sign-in, to protect the account.
3. Purposes of processing
Matching for practicums, internships and jobs in the student's field; verification of grades and achievements by the institution; preparing contracts; event notifications; anonymised employment statistics for institutions.
4. Legal basis
We process data based on the consent the data subject gives when signing up or activating their profile. An institution uploads student data, and that data is not visible to employers until the student activates the profile and gives consent.
5. Who sees the data
A student's profile is visible to: their institution; employers verified by BIN — only if the student has turned on profile visibility; platform administrators — for support and moderation. We don't sell data or share it with third parties for advertising.
6. Where and how long data is stored
Data is stored on servers located in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We keep it while the account is active and delete it within 30 days after the account is deleted or consent is withdrawn, unless the law requires otherwise.
7. Your rights
You can find out what data we store about you, correct it, hide your profile, withdraw consent and delete your account. Profile visibility is changed in the Privacy section; send other requests to skillbridge.team.kz@gmail.com — we'll reply within 10 business days.
8. How we protect data
Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS), passwords are stored only as hashes, access is limited by role, and every view of a student profile by an employer is logged in a record the student can see.
9. Changes to this policy
We'll notify you of material changes by email and in the dashboard at least 10 days before they take effect.
