AVSI Connect ("we", "us", or "our") operates a job marketplace platform that connects job seekers (Candidates) and employers (Employers/Companies). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website, mobile application, and related services (the "Service").

- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and usage logs needed to operate and secure the Service.
- Payment information: if you purchase subscriptions or featured listings, payment is processed by third-party providers (for example Stripe, PayPal, or Paystack). We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:

3. Sharing of Information
We share information only as needed to operate the platform:

- Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of users and the Service.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, and basic analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work without them.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. You may request deletion of your account subject to applicable law and legitimate business needs.
6. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may update much of your information directly in your account settings. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights.
8. Children's Privacy
AVSI Connect is intended for users who are legally able to seek or offer employment. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction.
