We collect only the information needed to operate and improve our Services. This may include:

We may also use aggregated or anonymized information for analytics. Such data cannot identify you personally.
4. How We Collect Data
We collect data in three primary ways:
- Directly from you – when you create an account, purchase a subscription or service, contact us, or sign up for content.
- Automatically – through cookies and similar technologies that capture technical or usage data when you use our website or platform.
- From trusted third parties – such as payment processors or verified data partners who comply with applicable privacy laws.
5. How We Use Your Data
We process personal data only when there is a lawful basis to do so, including:
- To provide, personalize, and maintain our SaaS platform and related human-assisted services
- To communicate with you about your account, billing, or updates
- To improve functionality, security, and user experience
- To comply with legal or regulatory obligations
- With your consent, to send marketing communications (which you can opt out of anytime)
We do not sell personal data to third parties.
6. Disclosure of Your Data
We may share limited information with trusted third parties to help us operate, improve, and protect our Services. These include:
- Service providers that host, process, or support our systems and platform operations.
- Professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, or auditors, who are subject to confidentiality obligations.
- Regulators or law enforcement agencies, when disclosure is required by law.
- Successors or acquirers if our business is merged, sold, or restructured.
We only work with carefully selected third-party providers who are expected to handle personal data securely and in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws and recognized industry best practices.
7. Data Security
We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These controls include encryption in transit, restricted access based on business need, ongoing monitoring, and an incident-response procedure consistent with legal notification requirements.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. When information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized. Retention periods vary by data category but generally range from the active account lifetime plus a short administrative period.
9. International Transfers
We may process or store personal data outside the country where you are located. When we do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, so your information remains protected in line with applicable data protection laws.

- Object to or restrict processing
- Request data portability
- Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@careerhigher.co and include "Data Request" in the subject line so we can prioritize your message.
