3. How We Receive Information

We may receive information directly from you when you register, create or update a profile, upload a resume, post a job, apply for an opportunity, use a CoHire product, contact us, communicate with another user, or otherwise use the platform.

Some information is collected automatically when you access or use CoHire, such as technical, log and usage information.

Where you choose to use an approved third-party sign-in or integration, we may receive information made available to us by that service, subject to the permissions and settings you choose with that service.

4. How We Use Information

We may use information for purposes connected with operating and improving CoHire, including:

• creating and managing user accounts and profiles;
• providing jobs, talent discovery, recruitment, business networking and other requested services;
• enabling users to publish, search, discover, communicate and interact through applicable CoHire features;
• processing applications, job postings, subscriptions, payments and service requests;
• communicating with you about your account, transactions, services, security and important platform updates;
• responding to enquiries, requests and grievances;
• maintaining platform security, preventing misuse, fraud, spam and unauthorized activity;
• understanding usage and improving the functionality, quality and user experience of CoHire; and
• complying with applicable legal, regulatory and lawful governmental requirements.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent where permitted by applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing that is otherwise permitted or required by law or necessary for the services you have requested.

5. When Information May Be Shared

CoHire may share information where reasonably necessary to operate the service, provide a feature you have requested, protect users and the platform, or comply with applicable law.

This may include sharing with:

• Other users: where you choose to publish a profile, resume, job, post, comment or other information through a feature intended for viewing by other users.
• Service providers: organizations that support hosting, infrastructure, payments, communications, customer support, analytics, security, maintenance and other services required to operate CoHire.
• Business partners: where sharing is part of a service or interaction you have requested, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
• Authorities and other parties: where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law, legal process, court order or a lawful governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security or prevent unlawful activity.
• Business transactions: where information is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

CoHire does not represent that information will be shared only with the categories above in every circumstance. The nature of the service, the information involved and applicable law may determine what sharing is necessary.

6. Public Profiles and User Content

CoHire includes professional networking, job, talent, business and social features. Information that you deliberately publish or make available through public or discoverable features may be viewed by other users and, depending on the feature, may be shared or accessed beyond your immediate audience.

For example, information included in a public professional profile, resume made available for discovery, job posting, business profile, post or comment may be visible to users who access the relevant feature.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

CoHire may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, remember preferences, understand usage, maintain security and improve the service.

Some technologies may be provided by service providers supporting analytics or other platform functions. Technology names and implementations may change as the platform evolves.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some CoHire features.

8. Data Security

CoHire uses reasonable technical, administrative and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should also protect their account credentials and notify CoHire promptly if they believe an account or personal information has been compromised.

9. Storage and International Transfers

CoHire may use infrastructure and service providers located in India and, where required for the operation of the platform or a particular service, in other jurisdictions.

Where personal data is transferred, stored or processed outside India, CoHire will do so subject to applicable law and any requirements or safeguards that apply to such transfer or processing.

10. Data Retention

CoHire retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide the requested services, maintain accounts and records, meet legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or for other legitimate operational requirements.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information, the service involved and the applicable legal or business requirement.

When information is no longer required for these purposes, CoHire may delete, anonymize or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and operational practices.

11. Your Choices and Requests

Depending on the applicable law and the nature of the information and service, you may be able to request access to, correction of, updating of or deletion of personal information, or raise an objection, restriction or other request recognized by applicable law.

You may also manage certain information directly through available account settings and platform controls.

Requests can be raised through the contact channels described in this Policy. CoHire may need to verify your identity and may retain information where retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

12. Marketing Communications

CoHire may send service-related communications that are necessary for account administration, security, transactions or the services you use.

Where CoHire sends promotional or marketing communications, you may opt out using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication or by contacting CoHire through the available contact channels. Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily stop essential service or transactional communications.

13. Third-Party Services and Links

CoHire may contain links to third-party websites, integrations or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies and terms. CoHire is not responsible for privacy practices that are outside its control.

You should review the privacy notice of a third party before providing information to that third party.

14. Children

CoHire is intended for users who are legally able to use the relevant services. CoHire does not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to CoHire in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.

15. Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

CoHire operates in the context of applicable Indian laws and regulations concerning information technology, privacy, data protection and online services. These may include the Information Technology Act, 2000 and applicable rules made under it, as well as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, to the extent applicable and in force from time to time.

CoHire will apply the requirements that are legally applicable to the relevant processing activity and service. Nothing in this Policy is intended to create rights or obligations beyond those applicable under law.

Where a law, regulation, lawful order or governmental direction requires CoHire to retain, disclose, restrict or otherwise process information, CoHire may do so as required or permitted by that requirement.

16. Changes to this Policy

CoHire may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as its services, technology, business practices or applicable legal requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date or version number where appropriate. Where applicable law requires additional notice of a material change, CoHire will provide that notice through an appropriate channel.
