Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 July 2026
This policy explains what we collect, why, and who we share it with. The short version: we only collect what the mentorship platform needs to work. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising.
What we collect
When you apply to be a mentor, you give us your name, email, phone number, country, LinkedIn, current role, a short bio, gender, your areas of expertise, your motivation, your industry, and a CV file.
When you have a mentor account, we store your name, email, and role, plus your public profile: bio, position, photo, nickname, and LinkedIn.
When you book a session as a mentee, you give us your name, email, phone, gender, country, career stage, timezone, LinkedIn, and what you'd like help with. We also keep the session's status and time.
After a session, if you leave feedback, we store your rating, an optional comment, and whether you agreed to let us use it as a testimonial.
Cookies and analytics
We use a few cookies:
- Sign-in session — keeps you logged in to your dashboard (set by Supabase, our auth provider).
- Language — remembers whether you're reading in English, French, or Kiswahili.
- Google Analytics — we use Google Analytics to see which pages get visited and on what kind of device. It's aggregate traffic data, used to understand what's useful. Our own staff can opt out of this with a cookie.
Who we share it with
We use a small set of service providers to run the platform. We share only what each one needs:
- Supabase — stores the database, handles sign-in, and keeps uploaded files (profile photos and CVs).
- Google — when a session is booked, we create a Google Calendar event with a Meet link, which includes the mentor's and mentee's names and emails.
- Resend — sends transactional emails like booking confirmations.
- Google Analytics — receives the aggregate traffic data described above.
- Prismic — powers the editable content on our public pages (no personal data).
We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers.
Why we use it
To run the mentorship program: create accounts, review mentor applications, schedule and manage sessions, send confirmations, show mentor profiles to mentees, and improve the site.
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your data while your account or booking relationship is active. Want a copy of your data, a correction, or your data deleted? Email us and we'll take care of it.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data we hold about you, fix it if it's wrong, or have it removed. Just get in touch.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the date at the top.
