Privacy Policy

1) Summary (Quick Review)

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We use information to operate the platform (accounts, profiles, jobs, messaging, safety, support).
• Public profile info: anything you choose to publish may be visible to others.

• You can request access, correction, or deletion by emailing admin@tryworth.app.

2) Who We Are

WORTH is a talent and employer platform where users can create profiles, share work/portfolio links, connect with others, and communicate through the service. Features may include job postings, applications, messaging, and account verification.

3) Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account Information: name, email address, account type (talent/employer), and verification status. Passwords are stored as secure hashes.
• Profile Information: bio, skills, location (city/state/country), links you add (portfolio/social/media), and profile photo/banner if you upload them.
• Employer / Job Information: company name, job postings, job descriptions, and job video URLs (if you add them).
• Messages & Communications: messages you send through the platform and support requests you submit.
• Usage & Device Data: pages visited, actions on the site, device/browser information, IP address, and timestamps. Approximate location may be inferred from IP.
• Security Data: fraud/spam signals, suspicious login attempts, and abuse-prevention data.
• Cookies / Local Storage: session cookies, authentication cookies, and preferences (where applicable).

4) How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

• Create and manage your account and let you log in securely.
• Display your profile and content you choose to publish (skills, bio, links, etc.).
• Enable platform features such as applying to jobs, saving jobs, and messaging (if enabled).
• Operate, maintain, and improve performance and user experience.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Respond to support requests and troubleshoot issues.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

5) Public Profiles & User Content

Some profile information may be visible to other users or the public depending on how WORTH is configured. Anything you intentionally publish (such as your bio, skills, portfolio links, or QR profile link) may be viewable by others. Please do not post sensitive personal information that you do not want publicly visible.

6) Messaging

If messaging is available, messages may be stored to deliver the service, support safety, and resolve disputes. We may review messages only in limited cases, such as investigating abuse/spam/fraud or responding to valid legal requests.

7) Embedded Media & External Links

WORTH may show embedded content (for example, YouTube videos) and links to third-party sites. When you interact with embedded content, third parties may collect information under their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party websites or their practices.

8) Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, secure the site, and measure basic usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may impact functionality.

9) Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as needed:

• Service Providers: hosting, email delivery, security, and infrastructure providers (only what’s necessary to operate WORTH).
• Legal / Safety: if required by law or to protect users, the platform, or the public.
• Business Transfers: if the business is reorganized or transferred, information may be transferred as part of that process.

10) Data Security

We use reasonable security measures designed to protect information (including hashing passwords and limiting access). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use a strong password and keep your login credentials private.

11) Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you delete your account (if supported), some data may remain in backups for a limited period or as required by law.

12) Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights, including:

• Accessing, updating, or correcting your account/profile information.
• Requesting deletion of your account and personal information (where legally applicable).
• Managing cookies through your browser settings.

To make a request, email us at admin@tryworth.app. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

13) Children’s Privacy

WORTH is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

14) International Users

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

15) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top. Continued use of WORTH after changes means you accept the updated policy.
