What we collect and who sees it

What is public

• Portfolio projects a member chooses to publish
• A profile, if its owner sets it to public
• Job and internship listings posted by employers
• A profile photo, if you add one, wherever your profile is visible

You control what you publish. Anything you have not marked public stays private.

What is private

• Your email address
• Your resume
• Your job applications, and who you applied to
• An employer's contact email

How resumes are shared

Your resume is only shared with verified studios, or with a studio you apply to. It is only shared with a specific studio at the moment you apply to that studio's listing. The link we send is time-limited and expires, so a studio cannot pass it around indefinitely or access it after the window closes.

Profile photos

A profile photo is optional. If you add one it follows your profile's visibility, so a profile set to verified studios only keeps its photo to verified studios too. Portfolio images work the same way. You can remove your photo at any time from your profile page.

We do not sell data

We do not sell your information to third parties, and we do not share your private details with employers you have not applied to.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how the board is used, such as which pages get visited and how listings perform. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you individually. You can block analytics cookies in your browser and the board still works.

Deleting your data

You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by writing to hello@mydesigntalk.com. We will confirm once it is done.

Who is responsible

Design Talk is responsible for the personal information it holds through this site. We keep account data while your account is open and remove it when you ask us to. Questions about privacy go to hello@mydesigntalk.com.
