Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Kaam Ki Khoj collects about you, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. We have written it in plain language on purpose. If anything here is unclear, please write to us using the contact details at the end.

Kaam Ki Khoj is operated by Wild Cats Media, SCO-47, Second Floor, World Street, Sector-79, Faridabad, Haryana 121014, India ("we", "us", "our"). For the purposes of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), Wild Cats Media is the Data Fiduciary responsible for your personal data, and you are the Data Principal.

1. The most important thing to understand

Kaam Ki Khoj is a job portal. Its whole purpose is to connect job seekers with employers. This means:

If you create a job seeker profile, employers and recruiters who have purchased a CV / resume search package from us can search for, view and download your profile — including your name, contact number, email address, work history and any CV you upload — and can contact you about job opportunities.

That is the service you are signing up for, and you consent to it when you create a profile. If you do not want employers to be able to find and contact you, please do not create a job seeker profile. You can withdraw this consent and delete your profile at any time — see section 8.

2. What personal data we collect

2.1 Information you give us when you register

• Name (first, middle, last) and, if you provide it, father's name
• Email address and password
• Mobile number and, optionally, a landline number
• Date of birth, gender, marital status and nationality
• Country, state, city and street address

2.2 Information in your job seeker profile

• Current or desired job title, industry, functional area, career level and total experience
• Current salary and expected salary, and the currency
• Education history — degrees, institutions, subjects, results and dates
• Employment history — employers, roles, locations, dates and descriptions
• Skills, languages and proficiency levels
• Projects, including descriptions and links
• A profile summary written by you
• Profile photograph, cover image and, if you add one, a video introduction link
• CV / resume files that you upload
• Whether you are immediately available to join

2.3 Information if you register as an employer

• Company name, logo, description, industry, ownership type and size
• Contact person's name, email address and phone number
• Business address and website
• Any company documents you choose to upload

2.4 Information created through your use of the site

• Jobs you view, save, and apply to, and the status of those applications
• Job alerts you set up
• Messages you exchange with employers through the site
• Interviews scheduled through the site, including video interviews
• Payment records if you buy a paid package — see section 5.1

2.5 Technical information collected automatically

• IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, and the site you came from
• Cookies and similar technologies — see section 9

2.6 What we do not collect

We do not ask job seekers for Aadhaar numbers, PAN, passport numbers or any other government identity number. We do not ask for bank account details, card numbers or UPI IDs — payments are handled entirely by our payment partners (section 5.1). No employer or person acting on our behalf will ever ask you for these, or for money, in order to get a job through Kaam Ki Khoj. If someone does, please report it to us immediately.

3. Why we use your personal data

What we do	Why
Create and maintain your account and profile	To provide the service you asked for
Show your profile to employers with a CV search package	The core purpose of the service, with your consent
Send your application and CV to an employer when you apply	To act on your instruction
Send job alerts and recommended jobs	With your consent; you can turn these off
Schedule and host interviews	To provide the service
Process payments for paid packages	To perform our contract with you
Respond to your questions and complaints	To provide support and meet our legal duties
Detect fraud, fake listings and misuse; keep the site secure	Our legitimate interest in a safe platform, and legal duty
Meet legal, tax and regulatory obligations	Required by law

We rely on your consent for most of the above. Where we rely on a legal obligation or on certain legitimate uses permitted by the DPDP Act, we say so. We will not use your personal data for a new purpose without telling you first.

4. Who can see your profile

• Employers and recruiters with an active CV search package can search the candidate database and view full profiles, including contact details, and download CVs.
• An employer you apply to receives your profile and CV for that application, whether or not they have a search package.
• Other job seekers and the general public cannot see your contact details or CV.
• Our staff can access profiles only where needed to operate the site, provide support or investigate misuse.

Employers who receive your data are independently responsible for how they use it. We require them by contract to use it only for genuine recruitment, and we prohibit them from reselling it, adding you to marketing lists, or using it for any other purpose. We cannot, however, control what a recruiter does once they have your details, in the same way that we cannot control what happens to a CV you email directly to a company.

5. Who else we share data with

5.1 Payment partners

Paid packages are processed by third-party payment gateways. When you pay, you are transferred to the gateway and enter your card, UPI or bank details on their systems, not ours. We receive only a confirmation of success or failure, the amount, and a transaction reference. We never see or store your full card number, CVV, UPI PIN or net-banking password.

5.2 Service providers

• Hosting — our servers are located in a data centre and your data is stored there
• Email delivery — to send verification emails, job alerts, application updates and password resets
• Google reCAPTCHA — to tell humans from bots on our forms. Google receives your IP address and interaction data, governed by Google's own privacy policy
• Video interview provider — if you attend a video interview arranged through the site, the video call is carried by a third-party meeting service

These providers act on our instructions and may only use your data to provide their service to us.

5.3 Legal disclosures

We may disclose personal data where we are required to by law, by a court order, or by a lawful request from a government or law enforcement agency; or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or to prevent fraud or harm.

5.4 What we never do

We do not sell your personal data. We do not rent or trade candidate databases. We do not share your data with advertisers for their own marketing.

6. Children and young people

Under the DPDP Act, anyone under 18 years of age is a child.

• Under 14: you may not register on Kaam Ki Khoj. Indian law — the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 as amended in 2016 — prohibits the employment of children below 14 in all occupations, so there is no lawful purpose for a job profile.
• Aged 14 to under 18: you may register only with the verifiable consent of your parent or legal guardian, which we must obtain and confirm before we process your data. Indian law further prohibits the employment of 14–18 year olds in hazardous occupations and processes, and listings offering such work to this age group are not permitted on the site.
• For all users under 18: we do not carry out behavioural tracking or monitoring, and we do not direct targeted advertising at you. This applies even where a parent has given consent.

A parent or guardian may contact us at any time to review, correct or delete their child's data. If we learn that a child has registered without verifiable parental consent, we will suspend the account and delete the data.

7. How long we keep your data

• We keep your account and profile data for as long as your account is open.
• If you ask us to delete your account, we erase your personal data within 90 days, except where we must keep something longer by law.
• Payment and tax records are kept for the period required under Indian tax and company law, typically eight years.
• Records needed to defend a legal claim are kept until the claim is resolved and the limitation period has expired.
• If your account is inactive for a long period, we may notify you and then delete it. We will give you advance notice and a chance to keep it.

8. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you have the right to:

• Access — get a summary of the personal data we hold about you, what we do with it, and who we have shared it with.
• Correction and updating — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected or completed. You can edit most of this yourself in your dashboard.
• Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data and close your account. We will do this within 90 days unless law requires us to keep something.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, as easily as you gave it. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did lawfully before you withdrew it. If you withdraw consent for employers to see your profile, we will hide it from search.
• Nominate — nominate another person to exercise your rights on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated.
• Grievance redressal — complain to us, and escalate if you are not satisfied. See section 11.

To exercise any of these rights, write to our Grievance Officer (section 11). We may need to verify your identity before we act, so that we do not disclose your data to someone else.

9. Cookies

We use cookies for:

• Essential functions — keeping you signed in, keeping your session secure, and protecting forms against cross-site request forgery. The site cannot work without these.
• Preferences — remembering your language and search filters.
• Analytics — understanding how the site is used, so we can improve it, where you have accepted these.

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

10. Security and data breaches

We take reasonable security safeguards to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the whole site, hashed passwords, access controls limiting which staff can see personal data, and regular security updates to our systems.

No system is perfectly secure. If a personal data breach occurs, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India and every affected user within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, as the DPDP Act requires, and we will tell you plainly what happened, what data was involved, and what you should do.

Please help us by choosing a strong, unique password and never sharing it.

11. Grievance Officer and how to complain

If you have a question or complaint about your personal data, contact our Grievance Officer, appointed under the DPDP Act and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021:

Grievance Officer: Parv Gupta
Wild Cats Media
SCO-47, Second Floor, World Street, Sector-79, Faridabad, Haryana 121014, India
Email: parv@wildcatsmedia.com

We will acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days of receipt, as required by law.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India under the DPDP Act.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service or the law changes. If we make a significant change, we will tell you by email or by a notice on the site before it takes effect. The date at the top shows when this version was published.
