Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Paprika ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our services.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit our intake form, ask a question, or engage our services, we may collect your name, email address, LinkedIn URL, website, current role and company, field or industry, location, visa status or goals, timeline, budget range, descriptions of your background and existing recognition, and any documents you choose to share, such as a CV or resume.

Information collected during an engagement. If you become a client, we collect the information needed to deliver your services — including biographical and professional details used for press placements, judging applications, and publication submissions, plus related correspondence.

Usage data. We collect standard website analytics, such as page views and general interaction patterns. This data is used in aggregate and is not tied to the content of your documents.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to review your background and recommend an evidence path; deliver the services in your written scope; prepare documentation and evidence packages; respond to your questions and communicate about your engagement; process payments; and improve our website and services using aggregate data.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

To deliver your services. Delivering Paprika's services inherently involves sharing relevant information with third parties on your behalf — for example, providing your professional background to publications or editors in connection with opportunities you have engaged us to pursue. We share what is needed for the specific opportunity, consistent with your engagement.

With attorneys, only when you authorize it. We do not share your profile or materials with any attorney — including attorneys we refer you to — unless you authorize that sharing.

With service providers. We use reputable third-party tools to operate our business, such as form, scheduling, file storage, customer management, email, and analytics providers. These providers process information solely to support our services and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

As required by law. We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Paprika or others.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your information is transmitted securely and stored using reputable services with industry-standard protections. Access is limited to team members who need it to perform the services. We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as needed to deliver your services, maintain our business records, and comply with legal obligations. If you are not a client, intake and inquiry information is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond and follow up.

7. Your Rights

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion of your information, subject to any legally required retention (such as payment and tax records). To make a request, contact us at support@meetpaprika.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, including California law.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies for website functionality and analytics tools to understand general usage. We do not use advertising cookies or sell data collected through cookies.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. International Users

Our services are operated from the United States. If you access them from elsewhere, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
