Privacy Policy

We collect personal information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, and academic credentials when you register for an account or verify your identity.

We also collect academic record data from participating educational institutions, including degree information, course completion details, grades, and graduation dates. This data is provided directly by institutions or their authorized representatives.

Automatically collected information includes device data, IP addresses, browser types, and interaction patterns with our platform for security and analytics purposes.

Your information is used to provide verification services, allowing employers and other authorized parties to confirm the authenticity of your academic credentials through a secure, controlled process.

We use your data to communicate with you about verification requests, account activity, and important updates to our services. You can manage your communication preferences at any time.

Data may be used for improving our services, conducting research, and complying with legal obligations. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Students maintain complete control over their academic records. No verification request is processed without explicit student consent through our secure approval workflow.

When you approve a verification request, you can specify the duration of access, the specific data to be shared, and revoke access at any time through your dashboard.

All consent is recorded with timestamps, creating an immutable audit trail of who accessed your records, when, and what information was viewed.

We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, and regular security audits to protect your information.

Our blockchain integration provides an additional layer of verification integrity, ensuring that academic records cannot be altered or forged after initial issuance.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only, with role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication required for all administrative access.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, maintain session security, and analyze platform performance. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function properly.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of the platform.

We do not use cookies for advertising purposes or to track you across third-party websites without your consent.

You have the right to access your personal information, request corrections to inaccurate data, and receive a copy of your data in a portable format.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to legal retention requirements. Verification records may need to be retained for compliance purposes.

To exercise your rights or raise concerns about our privacy practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@abms.io or through our contact form.

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes through the platform or email.

Your continued use of ABMS after any changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
