Privacy Policy & GDPR

1. Who we are

Conectora.ai is a private professional matching service operated by ArtificialTech, a company registered in the Netherlands. As a Dutch-registered entity, we are subject to Dutch data protection law and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), supervised by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

Data controller contact: julioraulcordal@artificialtech.io.

2. What data we collect and why

• Public profile data: first name, last name, title, languages spoken, LinkedIn, offer, and ask. Used for matching and may be shared with potential connections.
• Private data: email and phone number. Used only to contact you. Never shared with third parties.
• Optional enrichment data: company, location, bio, website, tags, and internal notes added by the Conectora.ai team during curation.
• Optional lifestyle & personal preferences: self-declared, optional information you may add to improve matching — for example employment situation, personal/introduction context, personality type, wellbeing interests, hobbies and interests. Always optional, with a "Prefer not to say" option available.
• Consent records: we log the date and scope of the consent you gave at the time of submission, as required by GDPR Article 7.

These optional fields are preferences, not statements about your health, beliefs, or personal status, and we do not ask for special-category data. Please do not enter sensitive information (for example medical conditions or racial/ethnic origin) into free-text fields. Anything you choose to share remains optional and processed only on the basis of your consent.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process your data on the basis of your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), given at the time you submit your profile. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

4. Use of AI

We use AI models to summarise profiles, suggest matches, and classify opportunities. AI does not make autonomous decisions: every match is validated manually by a human before any introduction is made.

5. Your rights (GDPR)

• Access: request a copy of all data we hold about you.
• Rectification: correct any inaccurate data.
• Erasure: request deletion of your full profile ("right to be forgotten").
• Portability: receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Restriction: ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Objection: object to processing for matching purposes.
• Withdraw consent: withdraw at any time with no penalty.

To exercise any right, email julioraulcordal@artificialtech.io. We respond within 30 calendar days.

6. Data retention

Data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, we will erase your data within 30 days and confirm by email.

7. Storage & security

Data is stored on servers within the EU. We do not sell or share data with third parties outside the service. Internal access is restricted to the Conectora.ai team.

8. Complaints

If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As our company is registered in the Netherlands, our lead supervisory authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP). You may also contact the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
