1. Information We Collect
To provide high-speed, relevant job search services across India via our Job Search Portal and safeguard our infrastructure from abusive scraping, we collect and process the following information:
- Network & Device Information: Client IP addresses are recorded to enforce our free search policy (5 free guest searches per IP) and to prevent automated denial-of-service traffic.
- Account Data: When registering, we collect your name, email address, and encrypted password hash (salted via bcrypt). Email addresses are verified via an automated One-Time Password (OTP).
- Usage Metrics: We track anonymous platform telemetry including search terms entered, filter combinations chosen, application link click rates, total visits, and session activity timestamps.
- Cookies & Local Storage: We use essential cookies (e.g.,
cg_session) to maintain your login status across browser sessions, and a cookie preference flag.
2. Purpose of Data Storage
Data securely stored within our platform infrastructure is utilized solely for:
- Providing personalized, bookmarkable search results and filters.
- Enabling password-free session continuity so you do not need to log in on each visit.
- Delivering security verification codes (OTP) upon signup.
- Optimizing platform performance and serving verified career opportunities across India.
- Internal analytics to understand which tech domains and cities have high demand among Indian engineers and professionals.
3. Data Retention & Security
Job records are refreshed regularly and retained for a rolling period of 7 days, after which stale records are systematically pruned. User authentication records and metrics are maintained with industry-standard encryption and zero external exposure. All network transmissions are strictly encrypted via TLS.
4. Cookie Policy
When you visit CorporateGuild, a consent popup allows you to select either essential cookies (required for authentication and search quota management) or all cookies (including analytics). You may delete or block cookies anytime through your web browser settings.
