  • Content Curation: To evaluate your application for future editorial features and to contact you regarding potential interviews.
  • Communication: To reply to your inquiries and provide updates regarding the status of your requests.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

CardBook acts as a trusted facilitator. By submitting a "Warm Intro Request," you explicitly consent to us sharing the submitted details with the specific third-party expert you wish to contact.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to data brokers or unrelated third parties.
