Recurso.World is designed to help people discover professional expertise and organizations. Accordingly, certain information may be publicly accessible.
Depending on the profile, record and features used, publicly visible information may include a person's name, professional summary, skills, employment history, portfolio links, verification status, recommendations or other professional information. Company pages may display business descriptions, websites, industries, locations, logos and other company-related information.
You should carefully consider the information you choose to make publicly available. Public information may be viewed, indexed by search engines, copied or referenced by third parties outside our control.

Private account credentials and information intended to remain confidential should not be included in public profile content.

6. Account Creation, Claiming and Verification

Recurso.World may maintain professional and company records using information supplied by users or obtained from public sources. Depending on the available features, an individual or authorized representative may be able to claim a record, register an account or request changes to existing information.
Verification may involve checking information supplied by a user against relevant records or other available sources. The nature and extent of verification may differ depending on the information and feature concerned.
A verification indicator represents the status of the relevant verification process. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee of every statement made by an individual or company, nor as an endorsement of their work, conduct or future performance.
Users must provide accurate information and must not impersonate another person, falsely represent an organization or submit information they are not authorized to provide.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for purposes beyond the services they are engaged to provide, except where otherwise permitted by law.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some website features.
Where required, consent will be obtained before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, technical safeguards, security monitoring and appropriate operational practices. However, no website, network, storage system or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and notifying us if they suspect unauthorized access to their accounts.

10. Data Retention
