Privacy Policy

Data We Collect

• Account information (name, email, company/organization)
• Profile data you provide (interests, preferences, bio)
• Matching and participation data (matches, feedback, event attendance)
• Usage data (IP address, device, logs, cookies)
• Communications with us

Data We Obtain From Third Parties

If you give us your LinkedIn profile URL, we retrieve your public LinkedIn profile to build the short professional summary shown to the people you are matched with. This step is optional — Havem works without it, and if you leave the field blank we use only your name and what you tell us yourself.

We use a third-party service, Atlac, to retrieve that public profile data on our behalf. From it we obtain and store:

• Your name, headline, and location as they appear on your public profile
• Your current role and employer, and your public career history
• A copy of your public profile photo, stored as an image on our own servers rather than linked from LinkedIn
• A short summary written by an AI model from the information above

How We Use Data

• Provide and improve matching and event features
• Send match notifications and service emails
• Analyze usage and prevent abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We share data only with:

• Service providers (hosting, email, analytics) under contract
• Other participants in matches/events you join
• Authorities when legally required

Data Retention

We keep data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for legal and operational purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on your location you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your data. Contact us at privacy@havem.org.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect data. No method is 100% secure.

Cookies

We use essential and analytics cookies. You can control cookies via your browser.

Changes

We may update this policy. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
