Terms of Service

Welcome to TalentSpottingAI

We are a career services platform connecting students at Greek universities with employers offering internships, graduate programs, and entry-level positions in Greece.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your use of services offered by TalentSpottingAI ("TalentSpottingAI", "we", "us", or "our"), including our web application, websites at talentspottingai.com, and all related features, tools, data, and documentation (collectively, the "Services").

By using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, including the dispute resolution provisions below, please do not use the Services.

These Terms may change over time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Services. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

1. Account Creation

Student Accounts

Students at Greek universities can create accounts using their university email address (.edu or .gr domains). By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old. If you are under 16, you may not use the Services.

You may provide additional information including profile photo, CV/resume, professional skills, and work experience. All information you provide must be accurate and complete. Student accounts are free forever.

University Accounts

University career services departments can create accounts to manage events, track student outcomes, and connect students with employers. University accounts are currently free during beta (until February 15, 2025). After beta, we may introduce premium features or subscription plans for universities. We will provide at least 60 days notice before implementing any charges.

3. Privacy and Data Protection

Student Privacy

Student profiles are public by default to help you be discovered by employers. You have full control and can change to private at any time. Students control what information is shared:

• Private Profile (Optional): Only visible to your university career services. Employers cannot find you in searches. You can still apply for jobs.
• Application Data: When you apply for a job, the employer receives your CV, cover letter, and relevant profile information regardless of privacy setting.
• Granular Controls: Hide specific information (GPA, contact info, activity status) through Settings > Privacy.
