• Consultant contact information (email, phone) is revealed only to employers who have unlocked your profile

With service providers:

• Neon (PostgreSQL): Database hosting — stores all platform data
• Vercel: Platform hosting and deployment
• Stripe: Payment processing
• Resend: Transactional email delivery
• Anthropic: AI-powered bio generation (we send limited profile data to generate summaries — no data is retained by Anthropic for training)

For legal reasons:

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of fltrIT, our users, or the public.

4. Consultant Profile Visibility

Consultant profiles on fltrIT are visible at different levels depending on the viewer:

• Your own profile: You see everything

You may update your availability status, bill rate, and other profile details at any time from your dashboard.
