Your data, in plain English.
Here's what we keep, what we don't, and how to delete it. The legal version is below if you need it — every clause maps to something concrete you can do from your settings page.
1. Who we are
Tevos is an AI-matched job platform operated by Tevos Labs ("we", "us", "Tevos"). We are registered at Gurgaon, Haryana, India. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@gettevos.com.
2. What data we collect
- Account information — name, email, password hash, role (candidate or recruiter), optional username.
- Profile data — skills, work experience, education, CV/resume uploads, location, salary expectations, portfolio links.
- Usage data — job matches generated, applications submitted, messages exchanged, pages viewed, search queries.
- Device and browser data — IP address (derived country/city), user-agent string, referrer, timestamps.
- OAuth data — if you sign in with Google or Microsoft, we receive your basic profile (name, email, avatar) under the scopes you approve. We do not read your email or calendar.
- Analytics — aggregated, anonymized metrics on how features are used. No third-party ad trackers.
3. Why we collect it
We use your data to match candidates to jobs, authenticate sessions, prevent fraud and abuse, and improve the platform under legitimate interest. We never sell personal data to advertisers.
4. Legal basis (GDPR)
- Consent — for optional features such as marketing emails and weekly digests.
- Contract — to deliver the matching service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interest — fraud prevention, security, and platform improvements.
5. How we share data
- Recruiters — see only what a candidate explicitly publishes on their Tevos profile. Candidates can hide fields, lock their profile, or delete it at any time.
- Third-party processors — hosting (AWS), email delivery (SMTP provider), OpenAI (for CV parsing and job-description analysis, subject to their zero-retention enterprise terms).
- Aggregated statistics — we publish anonymized market data (e.g. median salary by role) that cannot be tied to any individual.
- Legal requests — we disclose data only when required by a valid legal order.
6. How long we keep data
Your profile is retained for as long as your account is active. After you delete your account, we retain a minimal record for up to 12 months for legal, audit, and fraud-prevention purposes, then purge it. Anonymized statistics (with no personal identifiers) may be retained indefinitely.
6a. Aggregated benchmarks after deletion
When you delete your account, we may retain a single de-identified, bucketed snapshot of your role and compensation for the sole purpose of publishing anonymised salary benchmarks (think Levels.fyi, AmbitionBox, or Glassdoor's pay tab). The snapshot contains only: role family (e.g. "data engineer"), level (entry / mid / senior / lead / principal), city tier (tier-1, metro-eu, etc., never the exact city), country code, years-of-experience bucket (0–2, 3–5, 6–9, 10–14, 15+), current and expected CTC bands (e.g. "20–30 LPA", never the raw number), broad industry, and a one-way hashed cohort identifier so we can deduplicate re-signups. We do not retain your name, email, employer name, exact city, exact CTC, or any other identifier that can be linked back to you.
We never publish a benchmark cell smaller than k = 12 contributors, so no individual can be re-identified from the bucket they fall into. The legal basis for this retention is GDPR Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in publishing aggregated market intelligence) read with Recital 26 (anonymous data is outside the scope of the GDPR), the research/statistical-purposes exemption under §17(1)(c) of India's DPDP Act 2023, and the de-identified-data exemption at §1798.140(m) of the CCPA/CPRA.
Opt out at any time. You can disable benchmark contribution for future deletion in Settings → Data & benchmarks, or request full erasure including the anonymised snapshot by emailing hello@gettevos.com and citing GDPR Article 17 (or your local equivalent). We will honour the request within 30 days.
7. Your rights
You can exercise all of the following rights at any time:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Correction — edit your profile directly in the app.
- Deletion — delete your account via Profile → Delete account.
- Portability — export your profile as JSON from settings.
- Opt out — unsubscribe from marketing or alert emails using the link at the foot of any such email.
- Complaint — lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for EU/UK residents).
8. Cookies
We use a single essential session cookie to keep you signed in. We use first-party analytics to count page views and feature usage; you can opt out in Settings. We do not set third-party advertising cookies.
9. Children's privacy
Tevos is only for users aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone younger. If you believe a minor has registered, email hello@gettevos.com and we will delete the account.
10. International transfers
Tevos is hosted in India. Where data crosses borders (for example, to OpenAI's US data centers during CV parsing), the transfer is covered by standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
11. Updates to this policy
If we make a material change, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the new policy takes effect. The effective date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
