Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

To provide a dynamic freelancing marketplace environment, SkillSwap collects necessary account details during registration and profile building:

• Personal Profile Data: Full name, email address, profile bio, and specific technical skills.
• Marketplace Activities: Task titles, descriptions, budgets, and bid prices submitted within standard client-freelancer contracts.

2. How We Use Your Data

We process collected information to optimize ecosystem services and strictly prevent unauthorized access or spam:

• To render active task lists and display verified freelancer public portfolios.
• To manage dynamic proposal pipelines securely between clients and developers.
• To monitor administrative system metrics and identify potential violations of our safety guidelines.

3. Cookies and Local Authorization Tokens

SkillSwap utilizes standard modern storage patterns (such as localStorage, session state, or cookies) exclusively to sustain your secure authenticated login session. These tokens transmit securely via headers (`Authorization: Bearer [token]`) to ensure nobody else can manipulate your active dashboard metrics.

4. Data Protection & Shielding

Your system security is guarded with industry-grade practices. We encrypt communication pathways and never engage in selling or trading user emails, proposal histories, or active operational task logs to malicious third-party companies.

5. Policy Updates

SkillSwap reserves the authority to introduce adjustments to this privacy framework as new microservices or advanced payment systems integrate. We recommend monitoring this dynamic section periodically to stay updated on our legal safeguards.
