Privacy Policy

In plain language: We collect only what we need to run SlateHub. We do not sell your data. We do not show you ads. You can delete your data at any time.

Who We Are

SlateHub is operated by Seceda GmbH, based in Germany. We are the data controller for the personal data we collect through SlateHub.

What We Collect

We collect information you give us directly:

• Account info — your name, email address, username, and password (stored encrypted)
• Profile info — whatever you choose to add: bio, skills, experience, location, photo
• Content — productions, organizations, scripts, photos, and other things you create on SlateHub
• Messages — communications you send through the platform

We also collect some technical information automatically:

• Basic usage data — which pages you visit, so we can improve the platform
• Session data — to keep you logged in and secure

We do not collect data from third parties or buy data about you.

Why We Collect It

We use your data to:

• Run your account and show your profile
• Let you create and manage productions and organizations
• Connect you with other people in the industry
• Send you important updates about your account (like password resets or invitation notifications)
• Keep the platform secure
• Improve SlateHub based on how people use it

Our legal basis for processing your data (under GDPR) is:

• Contract — we need your data to provide the service you signed up for
• Legitimate interest — for security, fraud prevention, and platform improvement
• Consent — for optional features like marketing emails (you can opt out any time)

Who Sees Your Data

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

Your data may be seen by:

• Other users — only the information you choose to make public on your profile
• Our hosting providers — who store the data securely on our behalf (under strict agreements)
• Law enforcement — only if legally required

Where We Store Your Data

Your data is stored on servers within the European Union. We use industry-standard security measures including:

• Encrypted passwords (we never store them in plain text)
• SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Access controls so only authorized systems can reach your data

How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your data for as long as you have an account. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days. Some anonymized data (like aggregate usage statistics) may be kept longer because it cannot be linked back to you.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access — ask us for a copy of the data we have about you
• Correct — fix any data that is wrong or incomplete
• Delete — ask us to delete all your data
• Export — get your data in a portable format
• Object — tell us to stop processing your data in certain ways
• Restrict — ask us to limit how we use your data
• Withdraw consent — take back any permission you gave us

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@slatehub.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete your account and all your data at any time:

• Go to your account settings and choose "Delete Account"
• Or email us at privacy@slatehub.com

When you delete your account, we permanently remove your profile, personal information, and all associated content within 30 days. We will confirm by email when deletion is complete.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies to:

• Keep you logged in
• Remember your preferences
• Protect your session

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics cookies.

Children

SlateHub is for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it.
