1. Information we collect
Candidates
We collect information you provide when creating an account, completing your profile or participating in recruitment. This can include:
- Name, mobile number, email address, date of birth and location.
- Education, qualifications, certifications and relevant professional registrations.
- Employment history, work experience, skills and responsibilities.
- Your CV and supporting education or professional qualification documents.
- Preferred roles, locations, work arrangements and availability.
- Applications, interest confirmations, interview arrangements, offers and joining information.
- Messages, support enquiries and choices you make within the service.
Finnaukri does not request salary information, Aadhaar, PAN or other government identity documents as part of its standard candidate registration and profile process.
Please avoid including unnecessary government identifiers, financial account details, medical information or other sensitive information in your CV or messages. If you voluntarily include additional personal information in an uploaded document, that information will form part of the document we receive.
Required fields are identified in the relevant form. You can choose whether to provide optional information, although missing information may affect the services we can provide.
Employer and institutional representatives
We collect your name, professional role, work contact details and information about the organisation you represent.
We also collect information about hiring requirements, vacancies, participating teams, placement activities, institutional associations and communications needed to deliver the requested service.
If you provide another person’s information, you must have appropriate authority to share it.
Website and account activity
We collect technical information needed to operate and protect the service. This may include IP address, browser and device information, login activity, access times, pages visited, interaction records and diagnostic information.
Cookies and similar technologies may also collect information as explained below.
Support and chatbot conversations
When you contact us or use a support chatbot, we may collect your message, contact details, conversation history and relevant account information.
Please do not share login codes, passwords or sensitive personal documents in a chatbot or general enquiry form.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Create, authenticate and manage accounts.
- Build candidate profiles and support job discovery.
- Process applications candidates choose to make.
- Review profiles and applications against job requirements.
- Check relevant professional information and clarify discrepancies.
- Verify organisations and their authorised representatives.
- Help employers assess applications.
- Coordinate interest confirmations, interviews, offers and joining.
- Support institutional placement activities.
- Respond to enquiries, complaints and privacy requests.
- Send necessary account, security and recruitment communications.
- Provide optional job alerts and other communications according to your choices.
- Understand service usage, diagnose problems and improve the website.
- Prevent fraud, misuse and unauthorised access.
- Maintain necessary business records and meet applicable legal obligations.
We process information with your consent where required, and otherwise as permitted by applicable law. Agreeing to our Terms does not provide unrestricted permission to use your information for unrelated purposes.
3. Applications and employer access
You choose which jobs to apply for. We do not treat the creation of a profile as permission to apply to employers on your behalf.
Before you confirm your interest in proceeding with an employer, the employer receives a limited application profile. This may include relevant experience, skills, qualification summaries, location preferences and application information. Direct access to your name, mobile number, email address, current employer and CV is restricted at this stage.
After you confirm your interest, the employer may receive access to your CV for the recruitment process.
Your CV may contain your name, contact details, current employer or other personal information. Finnaukri does not automatically remove these details from your CV. By agreeing to share the CV, you understand that the employer may see the information it contains.
Separate structured fields containing your name, mobile number, email address and current employer remain restricted unless you separately authorise their disclosure or disclosure is otherwise required by law.
You may remove information you do not want included in your CV before submitting it. Contact us if you need help replacing a document.
Employers must use candidate information only for authorised recruitment purposes. Once an employer receives information, it is responsible for its own handling of that information.
We do not sell candidate CV databases or personal contact lists.
4. Universities and placement cells
If you choose to associate your account with a university or placement cell, we may record that association and share information needed to support the placement activity.
Subject to your agreement and the relevant activity, this can include your name, course or batch, profile readiness, nomination responses, application progress, interview arrangements and placement outcomes.
An institution’s nomination does not automatically become an application. You decide whether to apply and whether to proceed with an employer.
Institutions do not receive unrestricted access to your documents or account merely because you are associated with them.
You can contact us about an incorrect institutional association or to request that an association be ended, subject to any records we must retain for completed activities or legal purposes.
5. Reviews and verification
Authorised Finnaukri team members review candidate information, applications, organisations and vacancies as part of the hiring service.
Checks may involve reviewing information you provide, requesting clarification, examining relevant professional documents and consulting appropriate issuing bodies, public professional records or authorised verification sources.
The scope of a check depends on the role, information available and recruitment stage. A review or recommendation does not mean that every statement has been independently verified.
We explain material sharing or additional permission requirements before undertaking checks that require them.
7. Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies or similar technologies to support account sessions, security and core website functions.
We may also use optional analytics technologies to understand website usage and improve navigation, content and performance.
Where applicable, our cookie controls explain the tools in use and allow you to manage optional choices. We request consent before using optional technologies where required.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some account functions from working.
We do not use CV contents or application documents for behavioural advertising.
8. Communications
We may contact you by email, SMS, telephone, WhatsApp or account notifications, as appropriate to the service and your choices.
Necessary communications can include login codes, security notices, application updates, interview arrangements and responses to your requests.
Optional job alerts, promotional messages and other non-essential communications are subject to applicable consent requirements. You can unsubscribe using the available controls or by emailing us.
Opting out of promotional messages does not prevent necessary account or service communications.
9. Storage and security
Finnaukri’s platform data is stored in India.
We use safeguards appropriate to the information and service, including encryption, access restrictions and activity logging. Access to personal information and documents is limited to authorised people and purposes.
Where documents are made available within controlled recruitment workflows, access and download permissions apply. Document watermarking and activity records help support accountability.
No system can guarantee complete security. Keep login codes private and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised account access.
Storage in India does not by itself mean that every communication or external provider operates exclusively within India. Where a provider’s processing involves another location, we assess that arrangement and apply safeguards required by applicable law.
We take appropriate steps to investigate security incidents and provide notifications where required.
10. How long we keep information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, taking account of:
- Whether your account remains active.
- Ongoing applications, interviews, offers or placement activities.
- The need to respond to enquiries or resolve disputes.
- Security, fraud-prevention and accountability requirements.
- Applicable legal and contractual recordkeeping obligations.
We review information for deletion or anonymisation when it is no longer needed.
Closing an account may not immediately remove all records. Limited information may remain where retention is necessary or legally required. Backup copies are removed or overwritten through the normal backup lifecycle and remain protected in the meantime.
11. Your choices and requests
Subject to applicable law, you may contact us to:
- Request information about the personal data we process.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion or account closure.
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
- Change communication preferences.
- Raise a complaint about our handling of information.
- Exercise other rights available under applicable law, including nomination where applicable.
Send requests to info@finnaukri.com. You can use the subject line Privacy request.
We may ask for proportionate information to establish that a request relates to your account. Do not email Aadhaar, PAN or other government identity documents unless a specific lawful requirement has been explained.
Withdrawing consent or requesting deletion may affect services that depend on the information. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing already lawfully carried out.
We respond within the periods required by applicable law. If we cannot fulfil a request fully, we explain the relevant reason where permitted.
12. Users under 18
Finnaukri candidate accounts are intended for people aged 18 or above.
If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may restrict the account and take appropriate steps to remove the information, subject to legal retention requirements.
A parent, guardian or user can report an underage account to info@finnaukri.com.
13. External websites
Our website may link to employer websites, professional bodies or other external services.
Those services have their own privacy practices. Please review their notices before sharing information with them.
