This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it. If anything here isn't clear, contact us at privacy@fello.works.
Before the platform is live, we collect email addresses from people who sign up to the waitlist. We use these solely to communicate about FelloWorks — launch updates, beta invitations, and relevant news. We use Mailchimp to manage this list. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
When you join the platform, we collect the information you provide to create your profile. This includes:
This information is displayed to other members of the platform so they can find and evaluate potential collaborators. You control what you include. Nothing is required beyond a name and email to create an account, though a complete profile makes you more findable.
The platform includes a messaging feature so members can communicate before committing to a collaboration. Message content is stored in our database to maintain conversation history. Messages are private between the sender and recipient — FelloWorks does not read or share them except where required by law or to investigate a reported breach of our Terms of Service.
If you post a collaboration need — describing a role, project context, and timeline — this is visible to relevant members of the platform. It is not public outside the platform.
After a collaboration, either party can leave feedback for the other via the platform. Feedback consists of a short written account of the collaboration and a yes/no indication of whether you would collaborate with that person again. Submitted feedback is sent to the recipient for their approval before it appears on their profile. Recipients can approve or decline — only approved feedback is visible to other members. You are not obliged to leave feedback, but it is central to how trust is built on the platform.
We collect basic technical data when you use the platform: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This is used to maintain security, diagnose problems, and understand how the platform is used. We do not use this data for advertising.
Under GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases:
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. The following third-party services process data on our behalf as data processors, each with a Data Processing Agreement in place:
We may also disclose data if required by law, or to protect the safety and security of the platform and its members.
Your profile information — name, skills, availability, portfolio — is visible to other members of FelloWorks. This is the nature of the platform. Only people who have been accepted as members can see your profile.
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, with the following exceptions:
Waitlist email addresses are deleted within 90 days of the platform going live, unless you have created an account or explicitly opted in to ongoing communications.
Under GDPR, you have the following rights. To exercise any of them, contact privacy@fello.works. We will respond within 30 days.
If you believe we have not handled your data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Greece, this is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA).
FelloWorks uses only the cookies necessary to operate the platform — session authentication and basic security. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data: encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication, access controls, and reputable infrastructure providers. No system is perfect. If we become aware of a breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by law.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify active members by email before the changes take effect. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated.
Questions, requests, or concerns — contact us at privacy@fello.works. We're a small operation and we take this seriously.
