Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: 29 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how TALZIVO collects, uses, stores and shares personal data when you use our website, accounts, dashboards, job and internship applications, training services and support channels.

1. DATA CONTROLLER
The TALZIVO operating entity responsible for the relevant service acts as the data controller or data fiduciary, as applicable. Formal legal name, business address and grievance contact details will be published in the Brand & Business information once finalized. Until then, privacy requests may be submitted through the Help or Grievance page.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Account data: name, email address, phone number, login and account settings.
Candidate data: education, skills, experience, college details, location, interests, resume, portfolio links, application answers and uploaded documents.
Employer data: business name, registration and verification documents, website, address, authorized representative details, hiring team accounts and opportunity information.
Service data: applications, saved opportunities, interview schedules, course enrolments, assessments, assignments, progress, certificates, subscriptions, invoices and support conversations.
Technical data: IP address, device and browser information, timestamps, security events, referral pages, cookies and usage analytics.
Payment data: transaction references, status, amount and invoice details. Full card, bank or UPI credentials are generally processed by the authorized payment provider and are not intended to be stored by TALZIVO.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use data to create and secure accounts; build profiles; provide search and application tools; share applications with selected employers; verify employers and moderate listings; deliver training and support; process subscriptions and payments; send service notifications; prevent fraud and abuse; improve performance; maintain records; and comply with legal obligations.

4. LEGAL BASES AND CONSENT
Depending on applicable law and context, processing may be necessary to provide a requested service, perform a contract, comply with law, protect users and the platform, pursue legitimate operational interests or act on valid consent. Where consent is required, it may be withdrawn through available settings or a privacy request, without affecting earlier lawful processing.

5. HOW INFORMATION IS SHARED
Candidate application information is shared with the employer to which the candidate chooses to apply. Information may also be shared with service providers supporting hosting, email, analytics, payments, document storage, customer support and security, under appropriate contractual safeguards. We may disclose data to authorities where legally required, or to protect rights, safety and platform integrity. We do not sell personal data for money.

Employers receive candidate information only for legitimate recruitment and must not use it for unrelated marketing, unauthorized background checks or onward disclosure.

6. PUBLIC INFORMATION
Information intentionally added to a public company profile, listing or other public feature can be viewed by platform visitors. Candidate resumes and private profile details are not intended to be public by default and are disclosed according to application and recruitment workflows.

7. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
TALZIVO may use essential cookies for login, security and preferences and limited analytics technologies to understand platform use. Where legally required, non-essential cookies will be controlled through a consent mechanism. Browser settings can restrict cookies, but some features may not function correctly.

8. DATA RETENTION
We retain data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, including active accounts, recruitment records, support, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by data type. Data may be deleted, anonymized or securely archived when no longer required.

9. SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards such as access controls, encrypted connections, password protection, logging, backups and restricted document access. No online system is completely secure. Users must protect credentials and promptly report suspicious activity.

10. YOUR RIGHTS
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, withdrawal of consent, grievance resolution or information about processing. Some requests may be limited where retention is legally required, necessary to prevent fraud, establish legal claims or protect other users. We may verify identity before acting on a request.

11. CHILDREN AND YOUNG USERS
TALZIVO is intended for career and education-related use. Users below the age legally permitted to consent or contract must use the service only with appropriate parent, guardian or institutional authorization. We do not knowingly seek unnecessary data from children.

12. INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
Service providers may process data in locations outside your state or country. Where applicable, TALZIVO will use lawful transfer mechanisms and reasonable safeguards.

13. THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Employer websites and other linked services operate under their own privacy policies. Review those policies before submitting data outside TALZIVO.

14. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy to reflect service, security or legal changes. The revised effective date will be shown here, and material changes may be communicated through the platform where appropriate.

15. PRIVACY AND GRIEVANCE REQUESTS
Use the TALZIVO Help page for account or data assistance and the Grievance page for a formal complaint. Include enough information to identify your account and request, but never submit passwords, OTPs or full payment credentials.
