Privacy policy

Netwurk helps students and job seekers find professionals to network with. You type a role, company, school, location or research area; we search the public web for matching people and show what they have published professionally.

• Your account: your email address, and your password (stored only as a secure hash by our sign-in provider, Supabase) or your Google account's name and email if you sign in with Google.
• Your contact book: the people you save, and the notes, status and dates you add. Only you can see them.
• Your searches: the filters you type are sent to our search and AI providers to find and summarise matching people. We don't keep a history of your searches.

We don't sell your information or use it for advertising. You can delete saved contacts at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by emailing us.

We only use professional information that is already public: name, current role and employer, school, city, professional links (LinkedIn profile URL, GitHub, personal or lab website), research areas, publications and talks, each with a link to where it came from. We never collect home addresses, personal phone numbers, family details or personal social media, and we never scrape LinkedIn: a LinkedIn link only appears when a web search returned it. Photos come only from a person's own website, team or lab page, GitHub or Gravatar. We don't keep a directory of people; results exist only for the search that found them, unless a user saves someone to their own contact book. If you would like information about yourself removed, email us and we will remove it.

We only use the cookies needed to keep you signed in. No tracking or advertising cookies.
