This Policy explains what personal data VinayIQ (vinayiq.com) collects and how we use it. VinayIQ is operated by Vinay, an individual (sole proprietor) based in Maharashtra, India, pending incorporation, who is the data controller / data fiduciary responsible for your data.
We do not ask for sensitive data, and we do not require a CV to browse.
To create and run your account and provide the Service (contract), to keep it secure and prevent abuse (legitimate interest), and where required, with your consent. We do not sell or share your personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising (as those terms are used under the CCPA/CPRA), and we do not trade it for money.
Only service providers that help us operate, under their own safeguards — for example: our hosting provider, email provider (for account emails), a search/data provider used to collect public job listings, and a CDN/security provider. We may disclose data if required by law.
Account data is kept while your account is active. Job listings are automatically deleted after 3 months. You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time (see Section 6).
Passwords are hashed with a strong algorithm (argon2), access is rate-limited, and connections are protected. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.
Depending on your location (e.g., India's DPDP Act, GDPR, or CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to withdraw consent at any time (as easily as you gave it), to object to or restrict certain processing, to nominate someone to exercise your rights, and not to be discriminated against for exercising them. To exercise any of these, email connect@vinayiq.com and we'll respond within the timeframe the law requires.
We store a small login token in your browser so you stay signed in. See our Cookie Notice for details.
The Service is not intended for anyone under 16 (or the age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your data may be processed on servers outside your country. By using the Service you understand this. Where GDPR applies, we rely on appropriate safeguards.
We may update this Policy; material changes are posted here with a new version and date.
For users in India, we process personal data in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — relying on your consent or a legitimate use, and honouring requests to access, correct, or erase your data and to withdraw consent. In accordance with Indian law, our Grievance Officer is:
