Privacy Policy

Data controller: Mekos.
Privacy contact: privacy@mekos.info.

Depending on how you use Mekos and the Growth Hub, we may process account and identity data; professional profile and contact data; company, role, location and relationship information; notes, tags and follow-ups; opportunity and event data; imported professional-network data; communications and interaction history that you choose to import or connect; usage, security and technical data; and data returned by third-party services that you explicitly connect and authorize.

The Growth Hub may allow you to connect LinkedIn or import data that you obtained from LinkedIn. Where an official LinkedIn API is used, we access only the data and permissions that you authorize and that LinkedIn makes available to our application. Current or future capabilities may include sign-in, publishing, member-data portability or other approved LinkedIn products. Availability depends on LinkedIn approval and granted scopes.

We do not use scraping, browser automation or unofficial methods to access LinkedIn. We do not claim access to LinkedIn messages, connections or other restricted data unless LinkedIn has explicitly authorized the relevant API permission for our application.

The Growth Hub may organize professional-network information into relationship strength, professional role categories, priorities, follow-ups, opportunities, recruiter/headhunter views, events and other business-context signals. These outputs help the user manage professional relationships and are not intended to determine legal rights, employment eligibility, creditworthiness or other similarly significant decisions. Manual user decisions take precedence over automated or AI-derived classifications where the product provides such controls.

Selected information may be processed by an AI provider to generate relationship summaries, classifications, next-action suggestions, service-fit suggestions or draft communications. We apply data-minimisation measures and aim to send only the context needed for the requested task. The Growth Hub is designed so AI output supports, rather than replaces, human judgement.

Where technically implemented, direct identifiers such as links, email addresses and telephone numbers are removed from message context before AI processing. We do not intentionally use Growth Hub customer data to train our own general-purpose AI models.

• Provide, secure and maintain the website and Growth Hub.
• Authenticate users and manage permissions.
• Import, synchronize, organize and deduplicate professional-network information requested by the user.
• Provide Relationship Intelligence, pipelines, follow-ups, event management and user-requested AI assistance.
• Create user-reviewed outreach drafts and track actions performed by the user.
• Respond to enquiries and provide advisory services.
• Prevent abuse, investigate incidents and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal data and do not share it with third-party advertisers.

Where the EU/EEA GDPR applies, we rely, depending on the processing, on performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps requested by you; legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving our services and managing professional relationships; consent where required, including for certain connected services; and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

We use service providers to host, secure and operate the Growth Hub. These may include cloud database/authentication providers such as Supabase, hosting and development platforms, transactional email providers, and AI providers selected by Mekos. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we use an applicable legal transfer mechanism such as an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful safeguard.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to provide the Growth Hub, maintain professional relationships, and meet legal, security and accounting requirements. Users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data, subject to lawful retention obligations.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted transport, authentication, role-based access controls and restricted access to private Growth Hub data. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, request portability, withdraw consent and lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority. To exercise your rights, contact privacy@mekos.info.

You may request deletion of Growth Hub data by contacting privacy@mekos.info. You may separately revoke permissions granted to LinkedIn, Microsoft or another connected provider through that provider's account settings. Revoking a connection does not automatically delete data already stored in the Growth Hub; you may request deletion separately.

The public website uses essential storage required for functionality, such as language preference. The private Growth Hub may use session, authentication and security storage necessary to provide the service. Non-essential analytics or advertising technologies, if introduced, will be handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

LinkedIn, Microsoft and other connected platforms are independent services governed by their own privacy policies and terms. Connecting an account does not make Mekos responsible for that provider's independent processing.

The Growth Hub is intended for professional and business use and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the Growth Hub.

We may update this Policy as our services, integrations or legal requirements change. The "last updated" date identifies the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
