- To send transactional email: email verification, password reset, subscription activated, subscription expiring, job published, job expired.
- To detect abuse, fraudulent listings, and security incidents.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use it for third-party advertising. We do not send marketing email unless you ask us to.
4. Payment data
Payments are handled by our payment gateway. Your card number, UPI PIN, CVV, and banking credentials are entered on the gateway's own page and never reach our servers. We receive only the transaction reference, the amount, and whether the payment succeeded or failed.
5. Who we share it with
A small set of processors, each for one purpose, under contract, and never for their own marketing.
- Payment gateway — to process payments and confirm outcomes.
- Cloud hosting and database provider — to run the application and store data.
- File storage provider — to store profile images and company logos.
- Email delivery provider — to send transactional email.
We may also disclose data where required by law, court order, or a valid request from a law-enforcement authority.
6. Where data is stored
Data is stored on cloud infrastructure. Some providers operate outside India; where that happens, the transfer is covered by the provider's standard contractual protections. Access inside our organisation is limited to the people who need it to run the service.
7. How long we keep it
- Account and profile data — while your account is open, then up to 90 days after you ask for deletion, to allow for reversal of an accidental request.
- Payment records — retained as long as tax and accounting law requires, currently eight years, even after account deletion.
- Server logs — up to 90 days.
- Expired job listings — hidden from search immediately and deleted within 12 months.

Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. Access to production data is restricted and authenticated. No system is perfectly secure, so keep your own password strong and unique; if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else, email us immediately.

The service is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has registered, tell us and we will delete the account.
