Privacy Policy

Depending on how you use Talvus, we may collect:

• Account and contact information: name, email address, phone number, account role, and sign-in information.
• Candidate profile information: resume details, employment and education history, skills, certifications, languages, location, availability, salary preferences, work preferences, profile answers, and supporting evidence.
• Verification information: identity, employment, qualification, or other documents and details submitted to verify a candidate or employer. Verification records may contain sensitive personal information.
• Employer information: organisation and representative details, business identifiers, contact information, hiring requirements, and verification materials.
• Marketplace activity: searches, shortlists, Match Requests, responses, messages, reports, notification preferences, and delivery records.
• Technical information: IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, security events, and cookies or similar storage needed to operate the service.

Verified and approved employers may search a limited, privacy-protected candidate directory. Before consent, employers receive only the profile information Talvus makes available for discovery. Candidate phone numbers, email addresses, full identity details, confidential fields, verification documents, and other protected information are not available through search or a pending Match Request.

An employer may send a Match Request. The candidate can respond Interested, Not interested, or Want to know more. The candidate’s phone number, email address, and authorised confidential profile information are revealed to that employer only after the candidate chooses Interested. A pending, expired, Not interested, or Want to know more response does not permit contact-detail disclosure. A limited in-app conversation may be available for Want to know more without revealing contact details. Talvus enforces this consent decision on the server and in the database.

We share information only as needed to operate Talvus, follow your Match Request decision, protect users, or comply with law. This may include sharing appropriate employer information with candidates who receive a request and consented candidate information with the employer whose request the candidate accepted.

Service providers process information on our behalf, including Lovable Cloud (using Supabase infrastructure) for hosting, authentication, database, and file storage, and email delivery providers for transactional messages. Providers may process data in India or other countries where they operate, subject to contractual, technical, and legal safeguards. We may disclose information where required by law, lawful process, or to protect rights, safety, and service integrity. We do not sell candidate contact information.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information; withdraw consent for future processing; or raise a grievance about how your information is handled. You can update many profile details within your account. To make a privacy or deletion request, email privacy@talvus.in.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Deleting an account does not require us to delete information that we must retain by law or need for fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or enforcement. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already lawfully completed.

We may update this policy when the service, law, or our practices change. We will post the revised policy here and update its effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through Talvus or by email where appropriate.

For privacy questions, deletion requests, or grievances, contact the Talvus Grievance and Privacy Contact at privacy@talvus.in. Please include enough information for us to identify your account and understand the request. We will acknowledge and respond in accordance with applicable Indian law.
