Some Services, such as tailoring a resume or generating a readiness score, involve passing relevant content to AI model providers and cloud infrastructure providers we have contracted to process it on our behalf. These providers may be located outside India. We require them to handle your data under confidentiality and security obligations at least as strict as this policy.

We also work with trusted providers for payment processing, cloud infrastructure, analytics, communication and authentication. We do not use your resume or project content to train models for anyone outside Next Chapter.

We don’t share your personal data with third parties except: the service providers described above; when you choose to export or send your content to a job board or employer; when required by law or valid legal process; or as part of a merger or acquisition of the company, with notice to you.

We keep your account, content and programme records for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal obligations, keep certificates on record and resolve disputes. You can ask us to delete your account and content at any time; see section 6.

You can ask us to:

• Give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal data
• Delete your account and personal data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Withdraw consent for a specific use of your data, where processing is based on consent

Send requests to info@nextchapterskills.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls and regular review of our systems, to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Services are meant for people aged 16 and older. If you are under 18, use the Services only with a parent or guardian’s involvement. If we learn we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the Services change. We will post the updated version here with a new “Last updated” date and, where a change is material, make a reasonable effort to tell you directly.
