Effective date: 20 May 2023
At InternPlaza, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our platform.
Information we collect
When you use InternPlaza, we may collect the following types of information:
● Personal Information: This includes your name, email address, phone number, and other contact information you provide to us.
● Resume and Portfolio Information: If you’re an intern, you may choose to upload your resume and portfolio to our platform. This information will only be shared with potential employers when you apply for a job through our platform.
● Job Posting Information: If you’re an employer, you may choose to post job listings on our platform. This information will be publicly visible to all visitors to our site.
● Usage Information: We may collect information about how you use our platform, such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system.
Interns are in complete control of what data they make public
We give Interns control over whether they want to make their profile public to employers and what information they share on it. No Interns data uploaded to InternPlaza is ever viewable by any employer until an Intern has chosen to make their profile public.
InterPlaza will never sell personal Interns data
We never sell interns data to any one! Our idea is based on offering valuable features, simplifying and streamlining the internship process for our interns and employers. Your email address and personal data will never be sold to any third party.

We may use your personal information for the following purposes:
● To provide and improve our platform: We use your information to operate and maintain our platform, and to develop new features and services.
● To communicate with you: We may use your contact information to send you emails, notifications, or other messages related to our platform.
● To connect employers and interns: If you’re an intern, we may share your resume and portfolio with potential employers who are looking to hire interns. If you’re an employer, we may share your job postings with potential interns who are looking for opportunities.
● To comply with legal obligations: We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your data.
