Privacy Policy

Account information: name, email, phone number, company, role, and password when you create an account.

Professional information: licenses, certifications, project history, references, work samples, and resumes you upload to your profile.

Usage information: pages visited, searches performed, profiles viewed, messages sent, and other interactions with the platform.

Device and log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and timestamps collected automatically when you use GC Connect.

Payment information: billing details processed by our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Operate the platform — verify identities, build profiles, match contractors with talent, and process subscriptions.

Communicate with you about your account, hiring activity, support requests, and platform updates.

Improve and secure GC Connect by analyzing usage patterns, preventing fraud, and enforcing our terms.

Comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and protect the rights and safety of our users.

With other GC Connect users: profile details you choose to publish are visible to verified contractors and hiring teams searching the directory.

With service providers: vetted vendors that help us run the platform — hosting, analytics, email delivery, background-check partners, and payment processing — under contract to protect your data.

For legal reasons: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GC Connect, our users, or the public.

We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can request deletion at any time and we will remove your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, tax or transaction records).

Access, update, or correct your profile and account information directly from your dashboard.

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you or request its deletion by emailing privacy@thegcconnection.com.

Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any message. Transactional and account emails will continue.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA — including the right to object to processing or to data portability.

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your information. No online service is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features of GC Connect.

GC Connect is built for construction professionals and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the platform evolves. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the site before the changes take effect.
