Privacy Policy
Work Uncovered respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of its users. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Work Uncovered, how it may be used, and what rights you may have regarding your personal data.
- Information We Collect
When you create an account on Work Uncovered, we may collect information such as your username, email address, account and login information, and technical information necessary for the security and operation of the website.
Your password is processed by the website’s authentication system and is not publicly displayed.
We may also process technical information such as your IP address, browser or device information, security logs, and cookie-related information where necessary for the operation, security, and administration of the website.
- Reviews and Anonymity
Work Uncovered allows users to submit reviews about companies and courses.
Reviews are intended to be publicly anonymous. Your username, email address, and account identity are not intended to appear publicly as the author of a review.
Reviews may contain information voluntarily provided by the user, such as the company or course name, country, city, rating, recommendation, and written review.
Users must not include personal information about themselves or other identifiable individuals in their reviews.
Please remember that information you voluntarily include in the text of a review may become publicly visible once the review is approved.
- How We Use Information
We may use information to create and manage user accounts; receive, moderate, and publish reviews; investigate reported reviews; prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or misuse of the website; maintain the security and functionality of Work Uncovered; respond to enquiries, privacy requests, and content-related complaints; and comply with applicable legal obligations.
- Review Moderation
Reviews may be reviewed before publication. Work Uncovered reserves the right to reject, remove, or restrict content that violates our Terms & Conditions, applicable law, or the rights of other persons.
Users and other affected persons may report content for review.
- Legal Basis for Processing
Where the GDPR or other applicable data-protection legislation applies, personal data may be processed on the basis of the performance of a service requested by the user, legitimate interests in operating, moderating, and securing the website, consent where consent is required, and compliance with legal obligations.
- Sharing of Information
Work Uncovered does not sell users’ personal data.
Information may be processed by service providers necessary to operate the website, such as hosting, email, security, and other technical service providers.
Personal information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law.
Account information may be retained while an account remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or prevention of abuse.
Published reviews may remain available until removed in accordance with Work Uncovered’s moderation procedures or applicable legal requirements.
- Cookies
Work Uncovered may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, authentication, security, and user preferences.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be used in accordance with the user’s consent choices.
Further information is available in our Cookie Policy.
- Your Rights
Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have rights concerning your personal data, including the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of personal data, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, data portability where applicable, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.
- Security
Work Uncovered takes reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
- Children’s Privacy
Work Uncovered is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 16.
