Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 5, 2025

At Corpians, we are committed to building a trusted community that redefines how professional brands connect with their audience. Our core values of integrity, structured thinking, and transparency extend to how we handle your personal data. We value your privacy and are dedicated to protecting it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. This policy sets out your rights as a Data Principal and explains how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your personal data.

1. Terms We Use in This Policy

To ensure clarity, here are key terms as used in this Privacy Policy:

When we say "Corpians", "we", "our", or "us", we are referring to Corpians, a product offered by Digians Global, which is the entity responsible for processing your personal data in connection with the Corpians platform.

"Platform", "website", or "service": Refers to all of Corpians' websites, applications, tools, and other services.

"Personal Data": Any data about an individual who is identifiable by or in relation to such data. This includes information that directly identifies you or can be used to identify you when combined with other information.

"Data Principal": Refers to the individual (you, the user — whether a reviewer or a business user) to whom the personal data relates.

"Data Fiduciary": The entity that determines the purpose and means of processing personal data. Corpians is typically the Data Fiduciary for data collected directly on our platform (e.g., your account information, reviews you write). A business listing on Corpians may also be a Data Fiduciary for data they collect from you, for which Corpians acts as a Data Processor.

"Data Processor": Any person who processes personal data on behalf of a Data Fiduciary. This could include third-party service providers Corpians engages to support its operations, or in some specific scenarios, Corpians acting on behalf of a business.

"Public Personal Data": Personal data voluntarily published on our platform by you, which is accessible to anyone on the internet and allowed on our site. This includes your public profile details and review content.

"Private Personal Data": Personal data we collect about you that is not intended for public display on our platform.

"Consent": Your consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous.

2. Third-Party Websites

Our platform may contain links to other websites, services, or applications that are not operated or controlled by Corpians. These links do not signify our endorsement of those third-party services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites or services, as their procedures for collecting, handling, and processing personal data may differ significantly from ours. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties.

3. Corpians as an Open and Transparent Platform

Corpians is designed as an open platform to foster transparency and build trust within the professional brand ecosystem. When you contribute a review, reply to a review, or create a public profile, your contribution (the review content, rating, photos/videos, and your Corpians username, profile photo, country location) will be visible to anyone visiting our platform. If you're a business user, your company name, domain, and replies to reviews will also be publicly visible.

We consider all such voluntarily published information to be Public Personal Data.

You have control over how much personal information you share publicly when creating your Corpians profile and choosing your username. We advise you to consider the implications of sharing your real name or identifiable information, as this will be visible across the platform.

4. Personal Data We Collect

When you create a Corpians user account, write a review, create a business account on behalf of your company, or otherwise interact with our platform or services, we may collect and process various categories of Personal Data about you.

Important: We strictly advise you not to share any sensitive personal documents or highly confidential personal data that is not directly relevant to your review or business interaction (e.g., identification numbers, financial account passwords, health information, or caste/religious beliefs, unless explicitly requested for a specific, lawful verification purpose and with your express consent).

We may collect the following Public and Private Personal Data:

4.1 Public Personal Data

  • The location of the business you reviewed (if relevant to the review type).

Social Networks:

If you choose to connect your Corpians profile with your social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we may automatically collect selected information from that social network based on your privacy settings and information you've made available. This may include your name, username, and profile photo. We will inform you precisely what information will be collected before the connection is made. You can disconnect your social network profile from Corpians at any time via your account settings. While your unique social network ID will be removed, your profile picture and name might be retained unless you manually change or request deletion.

For Corpians Business Account Holders (Public):

Business Account Information: Your company name and domain, and other details you choose to add to your public business profile (e.g., services offered, company address, country).
