We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website www.talentexpert.in and our recruitment services, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights available to you.

2.2 Information we collect automatically

When you visit our website, our hosting and analytics tools may automatically record limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit. This helps us keep the site secure and improve how it works.

3. How we use your information

We use your information only for legitimate business purposes, including to:

4. Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on one or more of the following grounds, consistent with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable laws: your consent; performance of a contract or steps taken at your request; our legitimate interests in running our recruitment business; and compliance with a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 9).

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to deliver our services, including with:

  • Prospective employers and client organisations — for candidates, we share relevant profile details with employers for genuine hiring opportunities, in line with our recruitment purpose;
  • Service providers — trusted third parties who help us operate, such as website hosting, form-handling and email delivery providers who process form submissions on our behalf;
  • Legal and regulatory authorities — where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Where we use third-party providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

6. Data retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy — including active placement, ongoing engagement, and future suitable opportunities — and to meet legal, tax or regulatory requirements. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it. You may ask us to remove your details earlier (see Section 9).

7. Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please share sensitive information with care.

8. Cookies & similar technologies

Our website uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We use only essential and basic analytics cookies — we do not use them to build advertising profiles.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site function. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
