Privacy Policy

1. Scope and the DPDP framework

This policy covers the SolarWindMart Jobs platform at jobs.solarwindmart.com. It does not replace an employer's own privacy notice for information the employer handles separately.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025 have phased commencement. The commencement notification schedules most processing duties and individual-rights provisions eighteen months after publication. References to these provisions below apply when they are in force and applicable; this page does not imply that every provision is already in force.

2. Information and why it is used

• Account details: name, email, password credentials, account role, registration method, and contact or verification details support registration, sign-in, account security, and account administration. Profile images are used where you choose to upload one.
• Candidate profile: your resume, headline, summary, skills, employment, education, projects, accomplishments, languages, and career preferences support your profile and recruitment. Personal details you add, such as date of birth, gender, marital status, category, address, and work permit information, are also part of that profile.
• Applications and saved jobs: the job selected, submitted resume, any application message, salary and notice-period information, application date, and stage support submission and tracking. Saved jobs are associated with your account.
• Employer information: representative contact details, company profile, logo, verification information, and job postings support employer onboarding, moderation, and recruitment. Published company profiles and listings are public.
• Support and enquiries: the name, email, contact details, messages, and attachments you submit are used to handle your enquiry and administer support or sales requests.
• Technical information: session identifiers, browser and request information, and operational logs support authentication, troubleshooting, and security. Signed-in candidate visits contribute to an aggregate company-profile view count, with a session marker to avoid counting the same visit repeatedly.

Provide only information needed for your use of the platform. Avoid adding Aadhaar or other identity numbers, bank details, health records, or confidential third-party information to profiles, resumes, or messages.

3. Google sign-in and service providers

If you choose Google sign-in, the platform requests basic profile and email access and uses your name, email address, and email verification status to create or authenticate a candidate account. It does not receive your Google password. Google handles its own authentication data under its privacy policy.

Hosting, email delivery, and verification services may process information needed to operate the platform. Phone verification uses Twilio when that option is used. Public pages load fonts from Google Fonts and icons from the unpkg content delivery service; those requests can expose your IP address and browser request information to the providers.

External links, including employer websites and portfolio links, are governed by the destination's privacy practices. Service providers may operate outside India; any transfer remains subject to applicable restrictions.

4. Who can see your application

When you apply, the employer responsible for that job and authorised platform administrators can see your contact details, submitted resume, application information, and current candidate profile, including personal fields you have filled in. Review that information before applying.

An application keeps a separate copy of the submitted resume. Updating or removing your profile resume does not automatically replace or delete this application copy. Changes to your current profile may be visible when the employer reviews your application later.

Employers may download resumes and keep their own recruitment records. Removing information from this platform does not automatically remove those copies; contact the employer about information it holds independently. Administrators also access relevant records for moderation, account support, and platform operation. Information may be disclosed where required by law or a valid legal request.

5. Purpose, choices, and recommendations

Account and application information is used for the services described above. Job recommendations compare saved skills, preferred roles, and locations with job details. Match percentages are suggestions, not employment decisions. Employers make their own hiring decisions and update application stages.

Where consent is the legal basis, it must be informed, specific, and withdrawable. The DPDP Act also recognises certain legitimate uses. Reading this policy or accepting the Terms & Conditions is not consent to every possible use of your information.

You can edit available profile fields and account settings. To withdraw consent for a specified purpose or request account closure, contact support. A service that needs the affected information may no longer be available. Withdrawal does not undo earlier lawful processing or override a legal retention requirement.

6. Cookies and sessions

The website uses session and authentication cookies to keep you signed in, protect form submissions, and remember session state. A remember-me cookie may be used for persistent sign-in. Company-profile view counting also uses session state.

You can clear or block cookies using your browser settings, but sign-in and other account functions may stop working. External authentication and resource providers may have their own cookie practices.

7. Retention and deletion

Account, profile, application, and support records remain available for their service purposes unless removed through an available control or a supported deletion request. There is no single automatic deletion period for every record.

Contact support to request deletion or ask about retention of a particular record. Records may need to be retained for applicable legal obligations, disputes, or security investigations. Erasure is subject to those requirements, and any retained information should be limited to the continuing purpose. Employer-held copies are handled separately as explained above.

8. Security and incidents

The platform uses account authentication, password hashing, and role-based checks for panel and application access. No website, transmission, or storage method can eliminate every security risk. Protect your sign-in details and report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

Security incidents require investigation and remedial action. Where applicable law requires breach notification, affected individuals and the competent authority must be notified within the required timeframes. Contact support about a suspected incident; do not send passwords or verification codes.

9. Privacy rights and grievances

Subject to applicability and legal exceptions, the DPDP framework provides for access to information about processing and sharing, correction and erasure, grievance redressal, and nomination of another individual to exercise rights in the event of death or incapacity. A complaint to the Data Protection Board follows exhaustion of the available grievance process when the relevant provisions apply.

Send requests or grievances to info@solarwindmart.com, identifying your registered email and the request. Support may ask for proportionate verification before disclosing or changing account information. Please do not submit unnecessary identity documents. You can use the same contact to request nomination instructions or raise a concern about an earlier response.

Support reviews privacy requests and grievances. Where DPDP Rule 14 applies, our grievance response period is no more than 90 days, subject to any shorter deadline required by applicable law. You can contact support for an update on a pending request.

10. Children

Accounts are intended for people aged 18 or above. Do not create an account for a child or submit a child's personal information. If you believe a child's data has been provided, contact support so it can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

11. Policy updates

Changes will be published here with an updated date. A new processing purpose may require a separate notice or consent; publishing an updated policy is not a substitute. Read our Terms & Conditions for candidate and employer responsibilities.
