By submitting your information through our forms or ads, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect

-
Contact you about the role you applied for, including via phone call, email, and WhatsApp.
-
Evaluate your suitability for the position based on the information you provide.
-
Schedule and conduct interviews or trial assignments.
-
Discuss compensation, terms, and onboarding if we decide to proceed with your application.
-
Maintain records of our hiring process as required for our internal operations.

We do not use your data for marketing unrelated services, do not sell your data to third parties, and do not share it with anyone except the limited service providers listed in Section 5.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the DPDP Act, we process your personal data based on:
Your consent, given when you submit your information through our forms or ads.
Legitimate use for employment purposes, as permitted under Section 7 of the DPDP Act for processing applicant data in the context of recruitment.
5. Who We Share Your Data With
We share your data only with the following categories of recipients, and only to the extent necessary:
-
Meta Platforms, Inc. — when you submit a Lead Ad form on Facebook or Instagram, your responses pass through Meta's systems before reaching us.
-
Microsoft Corporation (Clarity) — for behavioural analytics on our landing page.
-
WhatsApp (owned by Meta) — when we contact you via WhatsApp for follow-up communication.
-
Email and communication service providers — such as our email host, used to send and receive messages.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for a maximum of 90 days from the date of submission. After this period, your data is deleted from our active records.
Hiring needs change quickly, and applicant circumstances change just as quickly, so we have no reason to hold your data longer than necessary. If we hire you, your data will transition into our employment records under a separate retention policy that we will share with you at that point.
If you want your data deleted before the 90-day window ends, simply email us at connect@theleapproject.com.
7. Your Rights
Under the DPDP Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
-
Right to access — request a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
-
Right to correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
-
Right to erasure — request that we delete your data before our standard 30-day retention period ends.
-
Right to grievance redressal — raise concerns about how we handle your data.
-
Right to withdraw consent — withdraw your consent at any time, after which we will stop processing your data and delete it.
-
Right to nominate — nominate another individual to exercise these rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at connect@theleapproject.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, and in any case within the timelines required under the DPDP Act.
