Privacy Policy
How OyuLink collects, uses, and protects your data
This policy applies to the OyuLink website, dashboard, and account features, including email/password sign-in and Google login where available.
Why we use it
To authenticate you, personalize your dashboard, save your progress, provide opportunity discovery features, and keep the service secure.
Your controls
You can edit your profile in the dashboard and delete your account from Account Settings. Deletion removes your profile and saved data from our active systems.
Main processors
We currently rely on Supabase for authentication and database services, Railway for the API, Vercel for the web app, and Google as the supported social sign-in provider where available.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how OyuLink handles personal information when you browse public pages, create an account, sign in, save opportunities, update your profile, and use personalized dashboard features.
It applies to traffic on www.oyulink.com and related OyuLink-operated services.
2. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, information created while you use the service, and limited technical information needed to keep the product running safely.
- Account and authentication data: email address, encrypted authentication records, and social-login identifiers provided by Google when you choose that sign-in method.
- Profile data: name, university, degree level, field of study, bio, headline, research tags, mentor hours, country code, avatar URL, reminder preference, and language preference.
- Opportunity-management data: saved listings, application tracking entries, portfolio items, badges, and similar dashboard content you add or receive through the service.
- Technical and security data: request metadata, basic device/browser information, and logs needed for rate limiting, abuse prevention, debugging, and reliability monitoring.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to deliver the product you asked for and to operate OyuLink responsibly.
- Authenticate accounts and maintain secure sessions.
- Power profile, dashboard, scholarships, jobs, contests, and mentor-discovery experiences.
- Store your saved items, applications, and portfolio entries so you can return to them later.
- Send account-related flows such as password reset links and service notifications tied to your account activity.
- Prevent abuse, investigate issues, enforce limits, and improve product reliability and performance.
5. Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide the service, maintain security records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.
If you delete your account, we remove profile and account-linked data from our active systems, subject to limited retention in backups, logs, or records required for security and legal compliance.
6. Your choices and rights
You can review and update most profile information directly from your OyuLink dashboard. You can also request account deletion from the Account Settings page.
If you signed in with a social-login provider, you can also manage that connection through the provider account settings you control.
- Update profile details from /dashboard/profile.
- Delete your account from /account/settings.
- Stop using social login by signing in with another supported method or deleting your account.
7. Security
We use technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to a product of this type, including authenticated access controls, hosted infrastructure, and operational monitoring. No internet service can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and respond to issues promptly.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date on this page and may provide additional notice inside the product when appropriate.
