Privacy Policy

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information that you voluntarily provide when using the Service, including:

• Account Information — Name, email address, password, phone number, and company affiliation
• Company Information — Company name, address, industry, company type (hiring or consulting), and business registration details
• Profile and Resume Data — Professional experience, skills and proficiency levels, certifications, education, availability, hourly rates, and payment term preferences
• Financial Information — Billing addresses and payment method preferences. Consulting Companies create their own Stripe Standard accounts and provide bank account details and identity verification information directly to Stripe, not to Prilet. Prilet does not store full bank account numbers or sensitive financial credentials.
• Assignment Details — Terms of service assignments between parties, including rates, payment terms, start/end dates, and hours worked
• Communications — Messages, feedback (Diamonds and comments), contact form submissions, and support inquiries
• Profile Sharing Data — Information shared when you send consultant profiles to third parties via the Platform's sharing features

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access or use the Service, we automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device and Browser Information — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, and unique device identifiers
• Usage Data — Pages viewed, features used, search queries, click patterns, time spent on pages, and navigation paths
• Log Data — Server logs that record requests made to our servers, including timestamps, referring URLs, and error information
• Session Information — Authentication tokens, session identifiers, and login history

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources, including:

• Payment Processor — Transaction status, payment confirmations, payout statuses, and identity verification results
• Other Users — Information provided by other users about you, such as when a company administrator adds you to their organization or when another user gives you Diamonds

• Contact information may be shared between parties to an active assignment as necessary
• Diamonds and associated comments are visible to relevant parties

5.2 With Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, including:

• Payment Processing (Stripe) — Prilet uses Stripe Connect with Standard accounts. Consulting Companies have their own Stripe accounts and provide financial information (bank details, identity verification) directly to Stripe. Stripe processes payments, manages payouts, and handles compliance independently. Prilet shares invoice and transaction data with Stripe to facilitate payments but does not control Consulting Company Stripe accounts or payout settings.
• Email Delivery — Email service providers receive email addresses and message content to deliver transactional and service-related emails
• Hosting and Infrastructure — Cloud hosting providers that store and process data on our behalf
• Analytics — Analytics providers that help us understand how the Service is used (data is aggregated and anonymized where possible)

Service providers other than Stripe are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing services to Prilet and to maintain appropriate security measures. Stripe operates under its own terms and privacy policy, which govern its handling of your data. Consulting Companies with Stripe Standard accounts have a direct relationship with Stripe and should review Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

5.3 For Legal Reasons

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation, subpoena, court order, or governmental request
• Protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of Prilet, our users, or the public
• Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, or technical problems
• Enforce our Terms of Service

5.4 Business Transfers

If Prilet is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
