Who we share it with
Do you share my data with anyone?
We don't sell candidate or employer data to third parties. We share it only in these situations:
- With an employer you apply to — your profile and resume become visible to that specific employer once you apply, not before.
- With a candidate you message or shortlist, if you're an employer.
- With service providers who help run the site (hosting, spam-detection tools like Gravatar for comment avatars), bound to use data only for that purpose.
- When required by law, such as a valid legal request from Indian authorities.
Cookies
What cookies does ApnaJob.in use?
- Login cookies keep you signed in and remember your display preferences.
- If you comment and opt in, a cookie may save your name, email, and website for next time.
- Temporary cookies on the login page are discarded when you close your browser.
- Pages with embedded content from other sites may set their own cookies, as if you'd visited that site directly.
How long we keep it
How long is my data stored?
- Your profile is kept as long as your account is active.
- Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely, so replies stay in context.
- If you delete your account, your profile, resume, and messages are removed — except limited records we're required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Your rights
What control do I have over my data?
- Access: request an exported copy of the personal data we hold on you.
- Deletion: request your account and data be deleted, or use Delete Profile directly.
- Correction: update your details anytime from My Profile.
Some data may be retained after a deletion request where we have a legal, administrative, or security obligation to keep it.
Security
How do you protect my account and data?
We use reasonable technical measures — including a website firewall and spam/threat monitoring — to protect accounts and data against unauthorized access. No online platform can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong, unique password for your account.
Children's privacy
Is ApnaJob.in meant for children?
ApnaJob.in is intended for job seekers and employers who meet the legal working age in India. It isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone below that age.
Changes & contact
Will this policy change, and who do I contact?
We may update this policy as ApnaJob.in's features change. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date. For questions, reach us via Contact Us, or see our related Terms and Conditions and FAQ.
