Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account on TechBeatDaily.com, we collect information such as your name, email address, and profile details. If you sign in using Google or LinkedIn, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from the provider. We also collect information about your activity on the platform, including posts, comments, certifications earned, and interactions with other users. Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information may also be collected automatically.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Service, personalize your experience, communicate with you about your account and platform updates, facilitate community features such as certifications and reputation scoring, and match talent with opportunities through TechBeat Solutions. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices. We use Supabase as our database provider, which provides encryption at rest and in transit. Access to your data is restricted to authorized personnel and systems that need it to operate the Service.

4. Cookies

TechBeatDaily.com uses cookies to maintain your session and remember your preferences. These are essential cookies required for the Service to function properly. We also use a temporary cookie during the sign-in process to protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party tracking purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the platform:

• Supabase for database hosting and authentication infrastructure.
• Google and LinkedIn for optional single sign-on (SSO) authentication. When you choose to sign in with these providers, we receive limited profile information as described in Section 1.
• Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection on forms. Turnstile may collect interaction data to verify that you are a human. No personal data is shared with Cloudflare for advertising purposes.
• OpenAI for AI-powered features such as content suggestions and intelligent automation tools.
• Resend for transactional email delivery.

Each of these providers has their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We encourage you to review their policies for more information.
