01

Who we are

UCO Aero is a career guidance, insights and opportunity platform focused on aerospace, aeronautical, mechanical, automobile, motorsport, aviation, research and allied core science pathways.

Our website is designed to provide information, publish articles, share opportunities, support guidance bookings and help users understand possible career directions.

02

Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect the following information:

  • Name, email address and contact number.
  • Education details such as degree, branch, college and year of study.
  • Career interests, target fields, preferred countries or universities.
  • Guidance booking details and meeting preferences.
  • CV links, LinkedIn links, GitHub links, portfolio links or project links.
  • Messages, enquiries, opportunity submissions or application details.
  • Basic website usage information when analytics are enabled.
03

How we use your information

We use information only for relevant UCO Aero purposes, including:

  • Responding to enquiries and guidance requests.
  • Scheduling, preparing for and managing 1-on-1 guidance sessions.
  • Understanding user interests and improving our career guidance content.
  • Reviewing applications for UCO Aero internal roles.
  • Processing opportunity submissions and career-related enquiries.
  • Improving website structure, accessibility, content quality and user experience.
  • Sending relevant follow-up communication where appropriate.

We do not sell personal data.

04

Guidance bookings

UCO Aero uses Microsoft Bookings for 1-on-1 guidance appointments. When you book a session, your booking details may be processed through Microsoft services, including calendar, email and booking management tools.

Booking information may include your name, email address, phone number, selected slot, meeting details and any information you provide while booking.

05

Careers, applications and CV links

If you apply for a role, submit your profile or register interest in an opportunity, we may collect information needed to review your suitability. This may include your CV, profile links, work samples, education details, contact details and role preferences.

If an opportunity is external, we will not intentionally forward your CV or profile to third parties without appropriate context or consent.

06

When we may share information

We may share limited information only when necessary for legitimate operational purposes, such as:

  • Using Microsoft 365 services for email, bookings and internal coordination.
  • Using website hosting or CMS tools to operate the platform.
  • Sharing opportunity-related information when you have requested or approved it.
  • Responding to legal, regulatory or security requirements where applicable.

We do not sell user, applicant or guidance data to advertisers, recruiters or unrelated third parties.

07

Storage and security

We aim to keep personal information reasonably secure using trusted tools, access controls and responsible internal handling practices.

During the early stage of UCO Aero, information may be handled through Microsoft 365 services, website hosting tools, email systems and later, an approved CMS or database system.

No online system is completely risk-free, but we will work to reduce unnecessary exposure and restrict access to information that does not need to be widely available.

08

How long we keep information

We keep information only as long as it is useful for the purpose for which it was collected, such as guidance follow-up, application review, opportunity tracking, operational records or legal requirements.

You may contact us to request correction, updating or deletion of your information where applicable.

09

Analytics and website improvement

We may later use analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity or similar services to understand website performance, page usage, scrolling, clicks and content engagement.

Before final launch of analytics, we intend to add a proper consent banner and avoid collecting sensitive form contents through analytics tools.

10

Your choices and rights

You may contact UCO Aero to request:

  • Access to information you provided to us.
  • Correction of inaccurate or outdated information.
  • Deletion of information where retention is no longer necessary.
  • Clarification about how your data is being used.
  • Withdrawal from future communication where applicable.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.

11

Children and minors

UCO Aero is primarily intended for students, graduates, early-career professionals and career explorers. If a user is below the age required for independent consent under applicable law, they should use the platform with appropriate parent or guardian involvement.

Responsible growth

We want to build useful systems without compromising trust.

As UCO Aero grows, this policy may be updated to reflect new tools, CMS systems, analytics, application workflows or publishing features.
