HRLent (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a recruitment and staffing consultancy based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information obtained through our website (hirelent.in), our recruitment activities, and any direct communication with us.

This policy applies to all individuals who interact with HRLent, including job seekers (candidates), employers, and general website visitors. By using our website or engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable Indian data protection laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its associated rules.

We collect personal information only to the extent necessary to provide recruitment and staffing services. The types of information we collect include:

• Candidate information: Resumes and CVs, names, contact details (email, phone number), current and expected salary, work history, educational qualifications, skills, and references — submitted directly or via our website.
• Contact form submissions: Name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message when you use our website contact form.
• Employer enquiries: Company name, contact person details, job requirements, and any other information shared with us as part of a hiring engagement.
• Website analytics: Anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time spent, device type, and approximate geographic location collected via analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics). This data does not identify you personally.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as caste, religion, or health information) unless specifically relevant to a role and provided voluntarily by you.

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

• Matching candidates to roles: To identify and present suitable job opportunities to candidates based on their profile, skills, and preferences.
• Responding to enquiries: To reply to contact form submissions and other messages in a timely manner.
• Providing recruitment services to employers: To source, screen, and recommend qualified candidates for open positions.
• Improving our services: To analyse how our website is used and identify areas for improvement.
• Compliance and record-keeping: To maintain accurate records of our recruitment activities as required by law.

We will not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your explicit consent.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not trade, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share candidate information with prospective employers only when:

• The candidate has been shortlisted for a specific role and has given express consent for their profile to be shared.
• The sharing is necessary to progress a confirmed recruitment engagement for which the candidate has applied or been nominated.

We may also share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our business (such as IT and software platforms), provided they are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations. In the event of a legal obligation, we may disclose information to regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

We retain candidate profiles for up to three (3) years from the date of last contact or last active engagement, unless you request earlier deletion. Employer data is retained for the duration of our business relationship plus one year for record-keeping purposes.

Contact form submissions and general enquiry records are retained for up to twelve (12) months. After the relevant retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

If we are legally required to retain information for a longer period, we will do so only to the extent necessary to meet that obligation.

As an individual whose data we hold, you have the following rights:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You may ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold.
• Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
