GDPR Commitment

At UpperClass, we believe your data is your property. As a platform connecting student creators with global brands and universities, we handle a diverse array of information. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection and privacy, strictly adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Our Core Privacy Principles

• Transparency: We are clear about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used to further your career or institutional goals.
• Data Minimization: We only request the information necessary to provide our services and enhance the UpperClass experience.
• Empowerment: We provide tools for users to access, rectify, or delete their personal information at any time.

Key Rights Under GDPR

As an UpperClass user, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

1. Right of Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
2. Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that we delete your data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
3. Right to Data Portability: You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
4. Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or based on legitimate interests.
