This policy explains how Whizverse Consulting handles information when you visit our website, register for job opportunities, or request career and profile-review services.

Effective date: 12 November 2020 · Last updated: 12 November 2020

Your privacy matters to us. We use the information you choose to provide to operate our website, respond to enquiries, support job-search activity and deliver requested career services. Please read this policy before submitting personal information or a resume.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on which page or service you use, we may collect the following information that you submit:

Job Seeker registration

  • Name, email address and phone number.
  • Preferred job location, target role, experience and skills.
  • Resume or other career information you choose to upload.
  • Your privacy acknowledgement and the date/time or related submission details recorded by the website.

Profile Review and career advisory enquiries

  • Name, email address, phone number and current location.
  • Current designation, industry and years of experience.
  • Preferred locations/countries, target role and skills.
  • LinkedIn profile URL, resume and information you provide about your career objectives or reasons for seeking career support.
  • Your privacy acknowledgement and your separate choices relating to optional AI processing and marketing communications.

Website and technical information

Our hosting platform or website infrastructure may process technical information such as IP address, browser/device details, access logs and security events to deliver, maintain and protect the website. The precise information depends on the hosting and security services enabled.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information or information about another person unless it is necessary for your request and you are authorised to share it.

3. How we use your information

We may use submitted information for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your candidate registration or career-service enquiry.
  • To review your professional profile, experience, skills and resume in connection with the service you request.
  • To identify and share potentially relevant job opportunities or career information, where appropriate.
  • To contact you about your submission, requested services, next steps or support queries.
  • To operate, troubleshoot, secure and improve our website and services.
  • To maintain records of consent, preferences, requests and relevant business communications.
  • To meet applicable legal obligations and protect our rights, users and services.

We do not promise employment, interviews, visa sponsorship or a particular career outcome through registration or profile review.

4. Optional AI-assisted processing

The Profile Review form may offer a separate, optional choice allowing you to consent to AI-assisted processing of information you submit. This choice is distinct from the privacy acknowledgement required to submit the form.

  • If you do not provide the optional AI-processing consent, we should not use your submitted profile or resume for the AI-assisted processing covered by that consent.
  • If you provide consent, relevant information may be processed using AI tools to assist with tasks such as summarising experience, analysing skills, identifying profile gaps or preparing career-related suggestions.
  • AI-generated outputs may be incomplete or inaccurate and should be reviewed by a person. They are not a guarantee of recruitment, selection or any other outcome.
  • Where an external AI service provider is used, relevant information may be shared with that provider for the requested processing, subject to the provider's terms, security practices and applicable contractual safeguards.

Job Seeker registration does not include the separate optional AI-processing consent shown on the Profile Review form.

5. When we may share information

We do not sell candidate personal information. We may share information only where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • Service providers: hosting, database, file-storage, email-delivery, security and technical-support providers that help operate the website and services.
  • AI service providers: only where AI-assisted processing is enabled and the relevant processing is covered by your choice and our arrangements with the provider.
  • Recruiters or employers: where you have asked us to assist with a relevant opportunity or otherwise authorised the sharing of your profile for that purpose. We should explain the opportunity and obtain any additional permission required before sharing your resume or identifiable profile.
  • Legal and safety purposes: where disclosure is required by law, legal process, or is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or security.
  • Business changes: in connection with a merger, restructuring or transfer of the relevant business, subject to appropriate protections and applicable law.

Service providers may process information on our behalf and may be located in India or another country, depending on the services selected. We will take steps required by applicable law when using such providers or transferring information.

6. How information is stored and protected

Candidate registration details and uploaded resumes may be stored using the website's database and file-storage infrastructure. Access should be restricted to authorised personnel and service providers who need the information to perform their functions.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved. No website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please use a secure personal email account and avoid uploading documents that contain information unrelated to your career enquiry.

7. How long we keep information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes and meet legal requirements.

Retention periods may differ for candidate records, resumes, enquiry correspondence, consent records, backups and security logs. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or remove identifying details, subject to technical, legal and operational limitations.

8. Your choices and privacy requests

Subject to applicable law and verification of your identity, you may contact us to:

  • Request access to or correction of personal information you have provided.
  • Ask us to delete your candidate profile or resume where we are not required or otherwise permitted to retain it.
  • Withdraw a consent you previously provided, including optional AI-processing or marketing consent.
  • Object to or raise a concern about a particular use of your information.
  • Ask questions about how your information is handled or how to raise a complaint.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal. It may also mean that we cannot continue providing a service that depends on the relevant information or processing.

To make a request, email contact@whizverseconsulting.com with the subject “Privacy Request”. We may ask for reasonable information to verify that the request relates to you.

9. Marketing communications

Where the form provides an optional marketing choice, we will use that choice to determine whether we may send promotional updates. Marketing consent is not required to submit a candidate registration or Profile Review enquiry. You can ask us to stop marketing communications at any time by using an unsubscribe option where available or by emailing us.

We may still send service-related messages about a registration or enquiry you have made.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, performance or preferences. If analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced, this policy and any applicable consent controls should be updated to explain them before use.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

11. Third-party websites and job links

Our website may link to job boards, employer career pages, social networks or other third-party websites. Those websites operate under their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for their content, security or privacy practices. Review their policies before submitting information directly to them.

12. Children's information

Our candidate registration and career services are intended for adults seeking employment or career support, not for children. Please do not submit a child's personal information through these forms. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate steps.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our website, services, data practices or legal obligations change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review it periodically.

14. Applicable law

This policy is intended to be read consistently with applicable data-protection and privacy laws, including laws applicable in India where relevant. Your rights and our obligations may vary depending on the circumstances and the law that applies to the processing.
