Privacy policy

Version of 3 November 2026. Data controller details: [company name, registration number, address] — to be filled in by the site owner.

01 /Who processes the data

The data controller is the owner of the Specialist Market platform (specialist-market.com). Processing complies with the Law of Ukraine “On Personal Data Protection” and, for users in the EU, the GDPR.

02 /What data we collect

• registration data: name or company name, email, encrypted password;
• profile data you add yourself: phone, city, work areas, experience, portfolio, clearances;
• data on projects, proposals, reviews and chat messages;
• payment data: amount, status and transaction ID. Card numbers are processed by LiqPay; we neither see nor store them;
• technical data: IP address, browser type, cookies.

03 /Why

• to create your account and show your profile, projects and proposals;
• to connect clients with contractors and send notifications about messages, shortlisting and payment;
• to process plan payments and safe deals;
• to resolve disputes and prevent fraud and spam;
• to improve the site (anonymised analytics).

04 /Who can see your contacts

Phone, email and messengers are hidden by default. They are visible only to a client who has shortlisted or hired you and, likewise, to a contractor shortlisted by the client. Until then, communication goes through the on-site chat. Profile name, description, work areas and reviews are visible to all visitors.

05 /Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with those the service cannot work without: our hosting provider, the LiqPay payment service, email and analytics services, and public authorities where expressly required by law.

06 /How long we keep data

For as long as the account exists. After account deletion, profile data is removed within 30 days; payment data is kept as long as tax law requires.

07 /Your rights

You can view, correct or delete your data, withdraw consent to mailings and request a copy of your data. Most changes are available in your dashboard; for the rest, write to us via the Contacts page. You also have the right to complain to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or, in the EU, to your data protection authority.

08 /Cookies

We use essential cookies for login and checkout, as well as analytics cookies. You can disable them in your browser settings; without essential cookies, login and payment will not work.

09 /Changes

We will notify you of significant changes to this policy by email or on the site. The current version is always on this page.
