JobStar.in Privacy Policy
At JobStar.in, we know that finding a job or hiring the right candidate means trusting us with real, personal information — your resume, your contact details, your career history. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, how it's used, who it's shared with, and the choices and rights you have over your own data. By using JobStar.in, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways. When you create an account, we collect details like your name, mobile number, email address, date of birth, location, education, work experience, skills, and resume. If you're an employer, we collect your company name, official email, GST/registration details, and hiring preferences as part of our company verification process. We also automatically collect usage information — pages you visit, jobs you search or apply to, device type, browser, IP address, and approximate location — to keep the platform secure and to improve how it works for you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to create and manage your account, match you with relevant jobs or candidates through our AI Job Match engine, send application updates and job alerts, verify companies before their listings go live, respond to support requests, and keep the platform safe from fraud, spam, and fake listings. We may also use aggregated, non-identifiable data to understand hiring trends and improve our products — this data cannot be traced back to any individual user.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
JobStar.in uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (like saved searches or filters), understand how visitors use the site, and show job recommendations and relevant advertising, including through third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the platform may not work correctly without them.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data to anyone. Your profile and resume are shared only with the companies you apply to, or with verified recruiters if you've chosen to make your profile searchable. We may also share limited data with trusted service providers who help us run the platform — such as cloud hosting, SMS/OTP delivery, analytics, and customer support tools — under strict confidentiality agreements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of JobStar.in, our users, or the public.
5. Data Security
We take data protection seriously. Logins are secured through OTP-based authentication and encrypted connections, access to personal data is restricted internally on a need-to-know basis, and we continuously monitor the platform for suspicious activity. While we work hard to protect your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, so we also encourage you to use a strong password and avoid sharing your account access with others.
6. Your Rights & Choices
You're always in control of your data on JobStar.in. You can access, update, or correct your profile information anytime from your account settings, control who can view your resume and contact details, opt out of promotional emails or SMS while still receiving essential account updates, and request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting our support team. We will process such requests in line with applicable data protection laws in India.
7. Children's Privacy
JobStar.in is intended for use by individuals who are legally eligible to work in India and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the legal working age, and any such data discovered will be removed promptly.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through the platform or via email, and the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
10. Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, you can reach our support team through the Contact Us page or write to us at the email address listed in the app/website footer, and we'll be happy to help.
