Mentor Services & Privacy

Important Notice: The Mentorship Project operates solely as a platform connecting mentees with mentors.

When you choose to:

  • Connect with individual mentors
  • Use mentor services or visit their websites
  • Share information directly with mentors
  • Engage in mentorship sessions

You are no longer protected by The Mentorship Project's privacy policy. Each mentor:

  • Operates independently from our platform
  • Maintains their own privacy practices and policies
  • Is responsible for their own data collection and usage
  • Sets their own terms of service

We strongly encourage you to review the individual privacy policies and terms of service of any mentor you choose to work with. The Mentorship Project is only responsible for information collected directly through our platform's contact form and website interactions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. You are advised to review this policy periodically.
