Last Updated: July 18, 2022

Welcome to the Trailblaze platform!

We provide a platform designed to connect motivated high school students with the opportunities and experiences around them using an interface that allows multiple generations to connect in one place. We aim to help high school students find opportunities, make money, and build meaningful connections. Central to this mission, it is our commitment to be transparent about the data we collect about you, whom it is shared with, and how it is used.

Your privacy is important to us.

Protecting your privacy is really important to us. We pledge to respect your privacy, to be transparent about our data practices, to keep your data safe and to only collect data that helps us deliver and improve our Services. With this in mind, we’re providing this Privacy Notice to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive through our Services. This Privacy Notice does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services. Our CEO serves as our Data Protection Officer.

We collect and process your Personal Information on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the Personal Information being provided and the type of processing involved. Examples include:

Examples of such legitimate interests will include where we send you marketing about our services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, where such processing is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention. We will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the processing in order to provide our services to you.

  • Compliance with a Legal Obligation. It may be necessary to process your Personal Information in order to allow us to comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where we are required to retain business records for fixed periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.

Where we require your consent, we seek it at the time of provision, and the processing will only be performed where consent is secured.
