Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026. Applies to the website TalentPulse and its tools for candidates and companies in India.

1. Who we are

Poshavya ("we") runs TalentPulse, a job board where candidates create a profile and companies post jobs and search profiles. For the personal data you give us, we are the Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"). A company that copies your details into its own database after you apply or after it unlocks your contact becomes responsible for that copy.

2. What we collect

Candidates: name, e-mail, mobile number, city, work and education details, current and expected salary, notice period, skills, your CV file and its text, an optional photo, and what you tell us in your profile. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and verified e-mail from Google. Companies: company name, team members' names and e-mails, jobs, and the candidate details they upload themselves. Everyone: sign-in times and actions in the product (logs), kept for security.

3. Why we use it (purposes) and your consent

We use your data only to: (a) create and run your account; (b) show your profile to companies when you choose to be visible; (c) match you with jobs and send job alerts; (d) let companies you applied to, or that unlocked your contact, reach you by phone, WhatsApp or e-mail about hiring; (e) keep the service safe and fix problems; (f) meet legal duties. We ask for your consent when you register, in clear words, and the tick box links to this policy. You can withdraw consent at any time (hide your profile, switch off job alerts, or delete your account in My profile); withdrawal does not affect what was done before it.

Consent record. When you register, tick a choice, or answer a notice we e-mailed you, we record what you agreed to, the wording version, the time and where it came from. You can withdraw any choice in My profile, or with the link in our mail; a withdrawal is recorded too. If a recruiter added your details from a CV you shared or a public listing, we send you a notice mail with one-click links to keep or delete them.

4. Who can see what

If "Let companies find my profile" is on, signed-in companies can see your name, photo, headline, skills, experience, location, notice period and salary expectations in search. Your mobile number, e-mail, CV and links stay hidden until a company unlocks them or you apply to its job. Turning visibility off removes you from search. We do not sell your data and candidates are never charged any fee.

5. Who processes data for us

We use service providers who handle data only on our instructions: cloud hosting (application server in Singapore), a managed database and file storage (Mumbai, India), and an e-mail delivery provider. If you use Google sign-in, Google processes that sign-in under its own policy. We may share data when the law or a court requires it.

6. How long we keep it

While your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile, CV, photo, applications and saved jobs are removed from our systems; backups are overwritten within a short period. Companies' own copies are governed by their own policies: contact them or us to have a copy removed. Logs are kept for up to 12 months for security.

7. Your rights

You may: see what we hold about you (My profile → Download my data); correct or complete it (edit your profile); erase it (Delete my account); withdraw consent; nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or cannot act; and complain to us and then to the Data Protection Board of India. We answer requests within a reasonable time and in any case as the law requires.

8. Children

TalentPulse is for people aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect data of children. If you think a child has registered, tell us and we will delete the account.

9. Security and breaches

Passwords are stored hashed, connections use HTTPS, files are in private storage and are served only to people allowed to see them, and sign-in attempts are rate-limited. No system is perfectly safe. If a breach affects your data we will inform you and the authorities as the law requires.

10. Cookies

Only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember dark / light mode. No advertising or tracking cookies.

11. Grievance Officer

For any request or complaint about your data, write to our Grievance Officer:
Grievance Officer, Poshavya
E-mail: graphisculpt@gmail.com
We acknowledge a complaint within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within 15 days.

12. Changes and law

We will update this page when our practices change and show the date at the top. This policy is governed by the laws of India.
