How we handle personal data.

Talent Hunt Edge processes the minimum required to match experts, run calls, and keep a record of the work. This notice is written against the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

Who is responsible

Data fiduciary: Talent Hunt Edge, Talent Hunt Edge, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Desk: desk@talenthuntedge.com. Until a company is incorporated, the desk operating the firm is the fiduciary. When a company exists, the notice continues against it.

What we collect

We collect the email you sign in with, profile fields you save, briefs, expert applications, career notes, conflict screens, consent records, invoices, and the record of a call. A small note in your browser remembers that you saw the cookie line. We do not run an advertising tracker, and we do not sell personal data. We do not use a client brief as public training material.

Why we use it

We use that data to match a brief to an expert, schedule a call, keep the project letter, invoice, reply, and meet a legal duty (including GST records and a response to a lawful request). Consent is the basis for an application and for a brief. A legal obligation is the basis for tax records we are required to keep under Indian law.

Your rights as a Data Principal

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask us to:

  • Give you access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • Erase personal data we no longer need for the purpose you gave it, subject to records the tax law requires us to keep;
  • Raise a grievance, and have it acknowledged and resolved as set out below;
  • Withdraw consent for a purpose that was based on consent. Withdrawal does not undo a call that has already happened, and it does not erase an invoice we must retain.

Write to the grievance officer at compliance@talenthuntedge.com. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you before we act on it.

Grievance officer

Grievance Officer and data-protection contact: Compliance & Grievance Officer, compliance@talenthuntedge.com. Registered office: Talent Hunt Edge, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

We acknowledge a grievance within 24 hours of receiving it at that address, and we aim to resolve it within 15 days. If we cannot, we will tell you why and when you can expect a decision.

Sharing and retention

An expert sees the topic of a brief, not the client’s name, until a call is confirmed or the client asks us to share it sooner. A client sees a name only on a shortlist. We share data with a payment or email provider only to send the invoice or the message. We do not publish expert names on this website.

We keep a brief, a screen, and an invoice for the engagement and for the period Indian tax and company law require. After that we delete or de-identify what we no longer need.
