WHO USES OUR SERVICES

We make our Services available to different types of users. As discussed further below, the information that the Services collect from and share about a user may depend on the user type. An individual may be one or more of these types of users depending on the nature of his or her interactions with our Services.

Member: An individual who uses the Services, including by browsing company profiles, registering interests in events or jobs posted on the Platform, and/or reading or otherwise engaging with content on the Platform or through email.

Organization: An individual who creates company profiles, posts articles, events or job, on behalf of a company.

DOMAINS OF APPLICATION

The Website are all pages that are part of the “shecancode.io” website.

The Platform are all pages under either ‘beta.shecancode.io’ or ‘platform.shecancode.io’.
Other Services include emails sent on behalf of SheCanCode as newsletters, personal sales contacts and automatic emails sent by the platform. These are all covered by this policy.

The Forum are all pages under ‘community.shecancode.io’ and has its own privacy policy accessible there, independent and not covered by this policy. Automatic emails sent by the forum are categorized as part of the forum and as such not covered by policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect both Personal Information and Other Information about users in connection with the Services. “Personal Information” is information that we can directly associate with a specific person without additional information, such as an email address or phone number.

“Other Information” is any information we collect that is not Personal Information.

We may combine Personal Information with Other Information, in which case we will treat the combined information as Personal Information. We also may combine information that we collect about you through the Services with additional information that we or third parties collect in other contexts—such as our communications with you via email or phone, or your customer service records. In those circumstances, we will treat the combined information in accordance with this Policy.

We will not cross Personal Information between the forum and the platform, and will only reuse factual information such as topics of discussion from the forum.

You can visit the Website and access parts of the Platform and use some of the other Services without submitting any Personal Information. However, as described below, we do automatically collect some Other Information when you use the Services. The Services also make it possible for you to submit Personal Information in a variety of contexts. For example, if you register as a Member or Organisation, or subscribe to our newsletter, you will be required to provide Personal Information.

SECURITY

SheCanCode uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information against loss or unauthorized access, use, modification, or deletion. However, no security program is 100% secure, and thus we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal or Other Information.
