Overview
Type of Information We Collect
Use of Information
User information is used in the following ways.
First, when users complete their registration, we mail them a verification link to ensure the correctness of the information and prevent identity misuse. Also, email ids can be used by Abekus to help users recover their accounts if they lose their passwords.
Second, we have to store the information of users to allow them to access and manage their profile once they have logged in. A part of it is displayed publicly, and the remaining is available to the logged in users themselves only. Additionally, profiles of users willing to get contacted for job openings may be shared with potential recruiters.
Third, user information may be used for the internal purpose of product improvement activities, such as data mining. User data may also be shared if required for any legal or regulatory purposes.
