1. Collection of Information
1.1. Information You Provide to Us.
Fractionus may collect Personal Information from and about you in the following ways:
(a) Information You Provide to Us. Fractionus collects Personal Information directly from you when you submit a contact form, request a match, apply to join as talent, create an account, enter into an engagement, communicate with us, or otherwise use the Services.
(b) Information You Provide as a Client or Prospective Client. If you are a client or prospective client, Fractionus may collect your name, company name, job title, work email address, phone number, company size, hiring needs, desired role or expertise, project scope, timing, budget range, engagement preferences, onboarding details, contract details, billing contacts, and the contents of your forms, messages, and communications.
(c) Information You Provide as Talent or an Applicant. If you apply to join the Fractionus network or otherwise participate as talent, Fractionus may collect your name, contact information, professional background, résumé or CV information, work history, areas of expertise, references, portfolio materials, biography, profile photo, availability, rate preferences, interview notes, and other information relevant to evaluating, presenting, or matching you for opportunities.
(d) Account, Profile, and Communications Information. Fractionus may collect account credentials, account settings, profile information, records of platform activity, and information you provide when you contact Fractionus for support or otherwise communicate with us.
(e) Payment and Transaction Information. Fractionus and its payment service providers may collect billing details, transaction records, invoices, payout information, and related financial or tax information. Payment card information generally is processed by third-party payment processors rather than stored by Fractionus directly, although Fractionus may receive limited payment or transaction metadata needed to administer the Services.
(f) Information Collected Automatically. When you access or use the Services, Fractionus may automatically collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, date and time stamps, page views, clicks, session activity, and similar technical and usage data. Fractionus may also derive approximate location information from IP address or browser or device signals.
(g) Information Collected Through Cookies and Similar Technologies. Fractionus may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Services, maintain sessions, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, prevent fraud, support analytics, and support targeted advertising or related marketing activities. You can control certain cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, a cookie preference tool on the Services. Blocking certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
(h) Information from Other Sources. Fractionus may receive Personal Information from other users, referral partners, service providers, payment processors, identity or security vendors, scheduling or communications tools, referral sources, and other third parties that support the operation of the Services.
(i) Biometric Information. If Fractionus uses identity-verification services that collect biometric identifiers or biometric information (such as facial geometry derived from photographs or government-issued identification), Fractionus will disclose such collection at or before the point of collection, obtain any consent required by applicable law, and will not sell, lease, or trade biometric information. Fractionus will permanently destroy biometric information when the initial purpose for collection has been satisfied or within three (3) years of the individual’s last interaction with the Services, whichever comes first, unless retention is required by law.
1.2. Categories of Personal Information We Collect.
Depending on how you use the Services, Fractionus may collect the following categories of Personal Information:

Fractionus does not intentionally collect sensitive categories such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health information, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status. Where Fractionus collects Sensitive Personal Information, it will do so only as permitted by applicable law and will provide any required notice or obtain any required consent at or before the point of collection.

Fractionus does not use automated processing as the sole basis for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without human review. Where required by applicable law, Fractionus will provide notice of the use of automated decision-making technology and offer the right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Fractionus does not use Personal Information to train or develop general-purpose AI models. Fractionus maintains human oversight of automated systems used in connection with the Services.
3. Data Retention
3.1. Retention.
Fractionus retains Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to maintain accounts; review applications; facilitate matches and engagements; document transactions; comply with legal obligations; resolve disputes; enforce agreements; protect against fraud and abuse; and maintain appropriate business and financial records. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, Fractionus considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure; the purposes for which it is processed; whether those purposes can be achieved through other means; and applicable legal requirements. Fractionus will delete or de-identify Personal Information when it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal obligations.
