1. Introduction and Service Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Wise Connections (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, utilizes, and protects the professional B2B data of our verified members.
Service Delivery Model: We emphasize that our core service, personalized matchmaking, relationship facilitation, and introduction management, is executed off-platform via direct, personal communication channels, including but not limited to Email, LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Viber. This policy addresses data collected through all interaction points, both on the website and off-platform.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information essential for the verification and personalized service delivery, categorized as:
- Registration & Verification Data: Company name, legal entity details, official website, primary contact name, email, phone number, and documentation used to confirm your verified B2B status and industry standing.
- Business Profile Data: Detailed information regarding your company’s service offerings, target markets, specific partnership goals, and internal needs, used for strategic matching.
- Direct Communication Channel Data (Off-Platform): This includes:
- Contact Handles: Your designated usernames or handles (e.g., Telegram ID, LinkedIn profile URL, WhatsApp number) necessary to facilitate direct communication and introductions.
- Conversation Logs: Records of discussions, messages, and files exchanged with your Wise Connections representative that are relevant to the matchmaking process, introduction scheduling, and partnership follow-up. This data is logged internally for service management.
3. Legal Basis and Use of Information
We process your professional data based on Contractual Necessity (to perform the personalized matchmaking service) and our Legitimate Interests (to ensure network quality and improve service efficacy).
We use your data exclusively for the following purposes:
- Personalized Matchmaking: Analyzing and utilizing your Business Profile Data and Communication Logs to identify, select, and facilitate introductions with compatible, verified partners.
- Off-Platform Service Delivery: Utilizing your designated handles and communication data to connect you directly with potential partners and manage the progression of the partnership discussion.
- Network Integrity: Confirming your eligibility and ensuring the integrity and high quality of the B2B network.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We only share your B2B data under strictly controlled conditions:
- With Potential Partners (Consent Required): Your relevant Business Profile Data and designated direct contact details (e.g., company email, LinkedIn handle) are shared with a potential partner only after we have specifically introduced you and both parties have mutually consented to the exchange.
- Third-Party Communication Platforms Disclaimer: You acknowledge that by using third-party services (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp) for communication, the security and privacy of the exchange on those platforms are governed by their respective privacy policies. Wise Connections is not responsible for the security or privacy practices of these external communication providers.
- Service Providers: We use secure, contractually-bound third-party tools (e.g., CRM systems) to securely log and manage the conversation history and contact details required for the core service.
5. Data Security and Retention
We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect the professional data we manage.
- Data Security: Data extracted from direct communication channels and logged within our internal systems is stored securely and access is restricted only to authorized personnel involved in the matchmaking process.
- Retention: We retain your data only for as long as your company remains a verified, active member of the Wise Connections network, or as required to comply with legal obligations.
