All third-party providers are contractually bound to protect your data.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at support@cognityhire.in.

Some data may be retained for longer periods where required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS), encrypted storage for sensitive data, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, and analyse usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect platform functionality.

CognityHire is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
