• To operate the Services — for example, to rewrite your resume against a job description, or score a Project Vertex session
• To maintain your account and communicate with you about the Services

Rewriting a resume, scoring a coding assessment, or generating a career readiness score involves passing relevant content to AI model providers and cloud infrastructure providers we've contracted with 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 don't sell your personal data, and we don't use your resume or assessment content to train models for anyone outside Next Chapter Skills.

We don't share your personal data with third parties except: the service providers described above, when you explicitly export or send your content to a job board or employer, when required by law or a valid legal process, or as part of a merger or acquisition of Next Chapter Skills (with notice to you).

We keep your account and content for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes. You can request deletion of your account and associated 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'll respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures — 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 can't guarantee absolute security.

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

We may update this policy as the Services change. We'll post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date, and where a change is material we'll make a reasonable effort to notify you directly.
