Privacy policy

Last updated: 22 Sep 2026. This is a starting template, not legal advice — have it reviewed by a lawyer before launch, especially if you serve users in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA).

Who we are

Paratus is operated by [Company legal name], [registered address]. Contact us at [contact email] for any privacy question or request.

What we collect

We collect only what's needed to run your account:

• Workers: full name, mobile number and personal email when you create a Skills Passport; the certificates, licences, training, work history, education, achievements and projects you choose to add; and a profile photo if you upload one.
• Google sign-in (optional): if you continue with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google. We don't receive your Google password.
• Employers and training partners: work email, password and organisation name when you request access.
• Talent pool (optional): if you opt in, a contact email, preferred roles and location so employers can reach you.
• Employer-managed accounts: if your employer manages your training records on Paratus, we record which employer manages your account.

Why we collect it and the legal basis

We use this information to run your Skills Passport, let training partners verify credentials they issued, and (only if you opt in) let vetted employers find and message you. This is necessary to provide the service you asked for, or based on your consent where noted (e.g. the talent pool).

Cookies

We don't use tracking, advertising or analytics cookies. Your sign-in session is kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. If that changes in the future, this page and a consent banner will be updated first.

Who we share it with

Training partners see the courses you list as theirs, so they can confirm and verify them. Employers only ever see your Skills Passport if you've opted into the talent pool, and see your phone number and personal email only if you turn on “Show my phone and email to vetted employers” in your profile. Otherwise they message you through Paratus. Your resume link never shows them. We don't sell your data.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and passport data for as long as your account is active, or until you ask us to delete it.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your data at any time by emailing [contact email]. We don't yet have a self-serve delete/export button in the product — until we do, this is the way to make that request, and we'll action it promptly.

Children's privacy

Paratus is intended for people old enough to work or train in their jurisdiction. We don't knowingly collect data from children below that age.

Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
