Terms of Service

AlumDen is invite-only. Access is granted by an existing member. You may not share your invite link publicly, attempt to access the platform without a valid invitation, or create multiple accounts. We reserve the right to revoke access at any time.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. You must provide accurate information during onboarding. You may not impersonate another person or misrepresent your work history. You must be at least 18 years old to use AlumDen.

AlumDen is designed for genuine professional networking and career vouching among past colleagues. You agree not to:

• Use the platform to harass, spam, or deceive other members
• Vouch for someone you have not genuinely worked with
• Scrape, harvest, or commercially exploit other members' data
• Use the platform for recruiting on behalf of a third-party organisation without disclosure
• Attempt to circumvent any security or access controls

A vouch on AlumDen represents a personal professional endorsement. You are solely responsible for the vouches you give. AlumDen does not verify the accuracy of vouches and accepts no liability for hiring or career decisions made in reliance on them. You may decline any vouch request without explanation.

You retain ownership of the content you submit to AlumDen (profile information, vouch messages, etc.). By submitting content, you grant us a limited licence to store and display it to members of your shared circles as part of the service. We do not claim ownership of your content and will not use it outside of providing the service.

AlumDen may, on request from a current employee of an organisation, import publicly available job listings from that organisation's public careers page so the roles can be surfaced to members of circles that employee is a part of. This feature is strictly opt-in: no listings are imported from an organisation unless at least one current employee of that organisation has explicitly ticked the consent checkbox in their work history settings.

When you tick that checkbox for your current employer, you are giving AlumDen permission to periodically fetch publicly listed roles from that employer's official careers page and publish them to circles you are currently a member of. You can withdraw that consent at any time in Settings; from that point onwards, no new listings from that employer will be imported on the basis of your consent. Existing imported listings will continue to be visible in the relevant circles until they expire or are removed.

Imported listings contain only the information that is publicly visible on the employer's careers page (title, location, function, and a link back to the original listing). AlumDen does not import any non-public data, does not bypass any access controls, and does not reproduce proprietary content from the employer's site beyond the minimum needed to identify the role and link back to it. If you are the owner or representative of an organisation and want imported listings from your careers page removed or your careers page excluded from future imports, please contact hello@alumden.com.

Your use of AlumDen is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms.

You may delete your account at any time by contacting hello@alumden.com. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms. Upon termination, your data will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

AlumDen is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed £100. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify active members by email of material changes. Continued use of AlumDen after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
