Career & Opportunities Connection
In line with standard industry practices for student hackathons and tech events, official community partners may receive attendee talent profiles for the purpose of internship recruitment, job opportunities, tech training tracks, and scholarship offerings. We strictly prohibit any unauthorized commercial spam or third-party ad network reselling.
By participating in FirstShip in-person or online events, workshops, hackathons, and conferences, attendees consent to being photographed and recorded on video during event sessions and activities.
These media captures may be used for community highlights, educational recap videos, milestone celebrations, and promotional content across official FirstShip social media platforms (LinkedIn, GitHub, Instagram, X) and partner channels.
Your data is stored securely with encrypted database connections and access controls restricted to authorized event organizers and verified community administrators.
You have the right to request access to the information we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion of your event registration records.
