Your personal information is only processed when necessary and with a substantial lawful reason under applicable law, including when you give consent, to comply with laws, to provide Services, to satisfy our legally binding commitments, to protect your rights, or to serve our legitimate business interests.

If you are in the EU, this section applies to you.

We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by providing a clear explanation of the legal grounds on which we process your personal information. Therefore, we can use the following legal grounds to handle your personal information:

Consent. If you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, we may process your information. At any time, you have the option to withdraw your consent. If you want to withdraw your consent, you can do so at any time by reaching out to us using the contact information provided in the CONTACT US section below.

However, please note that this does not impact the legality of the processing that occurred before its withdrawal, and, if permitted by applicable law, it will not affect the processing of your personal information based on other lawful grounds besides consent.


Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information in cases where we deem it necessary to fulfil our contractual commitments to you, such as providing our Services, or at your request before entering into a contract with you.

Legitimate Interests. Your information may be processed by us if we deem it reasonably necessary to further our legitimate business interests, provided that these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Legal Obligations. Your information may be processed in situations where we are required to comply with legal obligations, including cooperating with law enforcement or regulatory agencies, protecting our legal rights, or using your information as evidence in litigation cases involving us.

Vital Interests. Your information may be processed if we deem it necessary to safeguard your or a third party's vital interests, such as in cases involving potential threats to someone's safety.

4. When and with whom do we share your Personal Information?

We at Porada respect your privacy and understand that your information is important for you. We allow you to create an account where you get the opportunity to display your name, username, work experience, education, and skills. We may share this information with the other users of the Products. While sharing your data, you may share some sensitive personal information with us or with other users, including but not limited to, your ethnic origin, your educational background and/or your organisational affiliations. By providing this information in any form, you consent that this information loses its right for future deletion.

We at Porada do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your personal data for any purpose other than as described in this Privacy Policy.

5. Do we use Cookies and other Tracking Technologies?

We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than three (3) months past the termination of the user's account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. Keeping your Information Safe

We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
