3. Third-Party Educational Content & Certifications
Graduates Hub is an independent educational curation and resource hub. We do not host, create, or directly issue accredited degrees or certificates for third-party courses listed on our platform. All third-party course materials, logos, course names, and official credentials belong exclusively to their respective institutional owners (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Alison.com, Coursera).
When you click on external course links, you are directed to third-party learning platforms with their own terms of service, privacy policies, and certification requirements.
4. Interactive AI Tools & User Content
Our interactive tools utilize the Google Gemini API to analyze user-provided text (such as resume bullet points, job descriptions, or interview responses) and generate real-time feedback.
- Data Processing: User inputs provided to our AI career tools are processed securely via transient server-side API calls. We do not permanently store or publish personal CV documents or submitted text in public logs.
- Advisory Purpose: All AI-generated feedback, resume revisions, and interview evaluations are intended solely for educational guidance and career preparation. Users remain solely responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of AI-suggested content before submitting job applications to employers.
- User Integrity: You agree not to upload harmful, offensive, confidential corporate data, or illegal material into our interactive AI tools or CV builder.
5. Affiliate & Advertising Transparency
To keep our core learning resources 100% free for graduates, Graduates Hub participates in affiliate marketing programs (specifically with Alison.com) and displays third-party contextual advertising via Google AdSense.
If you click on an affiliate link and subsequently purchase an optional paid certificate or diploma from a partner platform, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Our affiliate relationships never influence our course curation criteria or editorial ratings. For full details, please review our Affiliate Disclosure.
