We may collect information you provide directly to us, such as your name, email address, profile details, account information, portfolio content, project activity, and communications sent through the platform.

We may also collect technical information such as device type, browser type, IP address, usage activity, and analytics data to help us improve the performance, security, and usability of BuildUp.

We use information collected through BuildUp to:

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only where necessary to operate the platform, comply with legal obligations, protect users, or work with trusted service providers who help us run BuildUp.

Information you choose to make public, such as profile details, project contributions, badges, reviews, or portfolio content, may be visible to other users and visitors depending on your settings.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
