Privacy Policy

​

At Shanghai Internship Match, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Statement explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have under the GDPR.

What data do we collect?

To assess your profile and support the internship matching process in Shanghai, we may collect the following personal data:

• Name and contact details (e.g., email address)

• Application documents (e.g., CV, cover letter, proof of enrollment)

• Study program, educational level, and relevant background information

• Internship preferences (field, start date, duration, availability)

• Communication data (messages you send us via forms or email)

Why do we collect this data?

We use your data only for purposes directly related to our service, including:

• Reviewing your application and assessing feasibility

• Matching your profile with suitable internship opportunities in Shanghai

• Sharing your profile with potential host companies (only when relevant)

• Coordinating interviews and communication during the matching process

• Meeting legal obligations where applicable (e.g., accounting requirements)

Our legal basis for processing your data is primarily contractual necessity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), as the data is required to provide our matching service.

Who do we share your data with?

We only share your personal data when necessary and only with:

• Potential host companies in Shanghai (to present your profile and support the interview process)

• Service providers supporting our website and operations (e.g., hosting, email tools, payment processing), strictly as needed

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for marketing by third parties.

(Optional sentence — only if true)
We do not handle visa applications. If you choose to involve authorities or external agencies for visa purposes, this is handled independently by you and/or the host company.

How long do we keep your data?

We keep your data only as long as necessary for the matching process and to comply with legal retention obligations (where applicable). You may request deletion at any time, subject to legal requirements.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data

• Correct inaccurate data

• Request deletion of your data

• Restrict or object to processing

• Request data portability

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, contact us at: [your email]

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure.
