Startup Jobs Board

DRAFT — pending legal review

Privacy policy.

Written for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Last updated 18 September 2026.

The short version

Job seekers can use the whole site without telling us who they are. We keep one essential cookie to avoid double-counting visitors, store IP addresses only as salted hashes, and never sell data.

What we collect, and why

We do not collect card, UPI or bank details; Dodo Payments (merchant of record) does, under its own policy. We do not receive CVs.

Legal basis and consent

Advertisers, subscribers and complainants give consent by submitting the relevant form. Visitor measurement uses only data necessary to operate and secure the Service; raw IP addresses are hashed with a secret salt before storage and cannot be reversed by us.

Cookies

One essential first-party cookie (sid, 30 days) identifies a browsing session for deduplicating counts. Optional analytics load only if you choose "Allow analytics" in the banner.

Sharing

Processors: Supabase (database, hosting in the region configured), Vercel (hosting), Dodo Payments (payments, merchant of record), . Each acts on our instructions. We do not sell or rent personal data. We disclose data when required by Indian law.

Your rights

You may ask for access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data, withdraw consent, or nominate someone to exercise these rights, by emailing grievance@example.com. We respond within the timelines the DPDP Act and Rules require. You may also complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Children

The Service is not directed at children and we do not knowingly process their data.
