Privacy Policy | Step For Work

Why We Collect Your Information

To offer a tailored and secure experience, we collect a range of user data. This includes personal information like your name, contact details, and employment history submitted directly by you to help us confirm your identity and customize content. Your interactions on our site, such as pages visited and searches performed, are also recorded. This usage data provides valuable insights into what users need and expect from our platform. In some cases, we supplement this data with information from reliable third-party providers. For research and analysis, we often anonymize or aggregate data so it cannot be linked back to any individual. This enables us to monitor platform performance, enhance services, and plan promotions responsibly.

Statistical Data Usage and Mandatory Information

To enhance our services and conduct research, we often use Aggregated Data—information grouped and anonymized so it cannot be linked to individual users. For instance, we might report how many users accessed a particular page, without identifying who they are.

In some cases, laws or service terms require you to provide specific personal data. If you decline, it could prevent us from fulfilling our obligations or delivering certain features. If necessary, we may withdraw services or terminate agreements. Using the platform further indicates your acceptance of these conditions.

How We Collect and Use Your Personal Data

We collect Personal Data through different sources and approaches, depending on your interaction with our platform:

When browsing our site, we automatically capture Technical and Usage Data such as your IP address, browser version, and on-site activity using cookies, system logs, and related tools. This may also apply to third-party sites where our tracking technologies are active.
We also receive data from reputable third parties, including analytics services or data providers. If you're a client, we may pair this data with Business Information you’ve supplied to offer a more customized experience.
For outreach or business purposes, we may collect public professional data about individuals who have not signed up with us.
In cases where we act as a processor for a client, we manage personal data only based on their instructions. If we don’t have a direct relationship with you, we will guide you on how to reach the data controller or assist with your request in coordination with the client.

How Your Personal Data Is Used

We use your personal information for the following reasons:

To provide the services you ask for, which might require sharing your information with partners or service providers essential to completing your requests.
To address your questions or concerns, ensuring effective communication and timely support.
To identify and prevent illegal activities, enforce our agreements, and securely manage payments.
To maintain safety across the platform by verifying identities and protecting against malicious threats.
To support continuous research and innovation that helps us enhance existing services and create new ones.

Should we seek to apply your personal data for additional purposes, we will notify you and offer choices to restrict such use, but this may impact your ability to use certain services.

When We Share Your Information

We occasionally share user data with reliable third parties including service providers, affiliates, legal counsel, and hiring partners when it’s necessary for business operations or regulatory compliance. All parties receiving this information are expected to safeguard it according to their own privacy obligations. Additional disclosures may occur to fulfil legal mandates, protect the integrity of the platform, enforce our terms, or respond to security concerns. If our company undergoes a merger, sale, or corporate restructuring, your information may be part of the assets transferred.

Exercising Your Data Rights

You may have rights under local laws to access your data, request corrections, ask for deletion, or object to certain types of processing. These rights are based on your location and may come with limitations. To submit a request, contact us at admin@stepforwork.com. We aim to fulfil requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Responsibility for External Links

Our services may direct you to websites outside our control. These third-party sites operate independently, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information. Although we link only to sites, we consider reputable, we recommend you read their privacy policies before engaging with them.

Our Commitment to Data Security and Retention

We use robust security technologies and procedures like data encryption, active monitoring, and restricted access to keep your personal data safe. Despite these protections, no system is completely secure. We retain your information only as long as necessary for service provision, compliance with applicable laws, or internal business functions. Copies of your data may also be stored temporarily in secure archives or backup systems.

This policy may be revised occasionally to reflect business changes, legal updates, or improvements in our technology. Revised versions will be made available on our website. We advise checking this section regularly to stay current.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Under the CCPA, California residents may request access to their data, ask for it to be deleted, or prevent it from being sold. You may submit these requests by contacting admin@stepforwork.com.
