Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to ProConnect Social Network LTD (registered in England and Wales, company number 17273365; registered address: 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom).

ProConnect is a global professional networking platform. We are committed to transparency regarding how we collect, use, and protect your personal data — wherever in the world you use our services.

We collect only the data necessary to deliver a meaningful professional networking experience:

Professional Details — industry, language skills, background, and networking goals, as provided by you.

LinkedIn Profile Data — URL or QR code, shared only with your explicit consent.

Interaction Data — event check-ins, RSVPs, connections, and in-platform messaging.

Usage & Technical Data — IP address, device type, and app interaction logs to ensure platform security and performance.

AI Transparency

We utilise AI-powered tools to enhance your experience (e.g., matchmaking or professional insights). We do not sell your personal data to third-party AI companies for the purpose of training their models.

Prohibition of Scraping

We employ technical measures to prevent unauthorised third-party scraping or harvesting of user data for AI training or machine learning purposes.

We utilise anonymised, aggregated user data for cohort targeting to help professional event organisers reach relevant audiences. No individual personal information is exposed; all cohort insights are presented in an aggregated, anonymous form.

As a global platform, your data may be processed in countries outside of the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer your data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards — such as Standard Contractual Clauses — are in place to maintain the level of protection required by UK GDPR.

ProConnect is an 18+ platform. We implement age-assurance measures during sign-up. We do not knowingly store data for individuals under 18; if such an account is identified, it will be restricted and the data deleted.

Under the UK GDPR and equivalent international frameworks, you have the following rights:

• Right of Access — request a copy of your personal data.
• Right to Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure — request deletion (“right to be forgotten”). You may delete your account and data at any time via Account Settings.
• Right to Data Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to Object — object to processing for secondary purposes (e.g., cohort analytics). You may opt-out of non-essential processing via Account Settings.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit and secure access controls.
