Privacy Policy
Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. When you use the platform, we may also collect profile information you choose to provide, project applications and submissions, and basic usage data such as pages visited and features used.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the platform
- To send notifications related to your projects and applications
- To connect project posters with applicants
- To build and display your verified track record
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Your profile and application details are shared only with the project posters you apply to. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for analytics purposes.
Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords and secure connections. While no system is completely secure, we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences such as theme selection. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.
Your Rights
You can access, update, or delete your personal information at any time through your profile settings. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact us and we will remove your data within 30 days.
Terms of Service
Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using Applicable, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You must provide accurate information when registering and keep it up to date.
Acceptable Use
When using Applicable, you agree not to:
- Post misleading, fraudulent, or spam content
- Impersonate another person or entity

Content & Projects
You retain ownership of any content you post. By posting a project or application, you grant Applicable a limited license to display that content on the platform. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms.
Applicable facilitates connections between project posters and applicants. The actual work happens outside the platform, and we are not a party to any agreements made between users.
Verified Track Record
Completed projects may appear on your profile as part of your verified track record. This information is based on confirmation from project posters and reflects work completed through the platform.
Limitation of Liability
Applicable is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any disputes between users, the quality of work performed, or any damages arising from use of the platform.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
