Working policy

Collect less. Protect what is shared.

Privacy for Somebody Like Me.

What we collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to a match request, schedule a session, obtain required consent, and support safety. Participants should not include graphic or highly sensitive details in initial forms.

How information is used

Information is used to operate marketplace accounts, display approved mentor profiles, identify meaningful mentor options, process bookings, deliver sessions, and support safety. Sensitive identity or intake answers are not placed in URLs, public logs, marketing pixels, or analytics events.

Youth privacy

The participant’s conversation belongs to them. Caregivers receive scheduling and safety information, not a report of everything said, except with permission or when safety, reporting duties, or law requires action.

Mentor profiles

Mentors choose information for their public profiles. Application responses, screening records, training evaluations, legal names, payout details, and private contact information are not public profile content.

Vendors and retention

Account, scheduling, Stripe Connect payment, video, email, consent, and analytics providers must be named here before launch, together with practical retention and deletion rules.
