Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how DQ Technologies collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you visit our website or apply for an opportunity through it. It is written to meet our obligations under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

Please read it before submitting your profile. If you have questions, contact us at hello@devgiriquantum.in.

1. Who we are

DQ Technologies is an IT staffing and workforce solutions company. We recruit experienced technology professionals, employ them, and deploy them to work on projects for our enterprise clients. For the personal data described in this policy, DQ Technologies decides why and how it is processed, which makes us the "Data Fiduciary" under the law. You are the "Data Principal".

2. What we collect

Information you give us

When you submit the candidate enquiry form, we collect:

• Your full name, email address and phone number.
• Your total years of experience, primary technology or skill set, current location, preferred work location and notice period.
• Your resume, and everything in it, such as your work history, education, skills and any other details you choose to include.
• Any message you write to us.

We may also collect information you share later in the recruitment process, such as interview feedback, expected compensation and availability, and the content of emails or calls with our team.

Please do not include sensitive details we do not need, such as your Aadhaar number, PAN, bank details, health information, religion or caste, in your resume or messages. If we need identity or bank documents for onboarding after you accept an offer, we will ask for them separately and explain why.

Information collected automatically

Our website does not use analytics or advertising trackers. Our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver the website and keep it secure.

3. How we use your information

We use your personal data only for these purposes:

• To review your profile and assess whether you are suitable for current or future opportunities.
• To contact you about roles that match your experience, and to arrange interviews.
• To present your profile to a client organisation for a specific opportunity, as described in section 5.
• To make and manage an offer of employment if you are selected.
• To respond to your questions and requests.
• To comply with legal obligations, and to protect our rights and prevent fraud.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for marketing unrelated to recruitment.

4. Consent

We process the information you submit on the basis of your consent, which you give by ticking the consent box on the candidate enquiry form. Your consent covers the purposes in section 3 and nothing else. You can withdraw it at any time, as explained in section 10.

Some processing is permitted without consent where the law allows, for example to comply with a legal obligation or a court order.

5. Who we share your information with

• Client organisations. If your profile matches a specific opportunity, we may share your resume and relevant details with the client organisation running that selection process. Before we put your profile forward for a specific role, we will tell you about the opportunity, subject to any client confidentiality requirements.
• Service providers. We use trusted providers to run our website and communications, including our website host (Netlify, Inc.), and Google (Google Workspace), which we use for email and to store applications and resumes securely in our Google Drive and Google Sheets. They process data only on our instructions and must keep it secure.
• Authorities. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or a lawful request from a government authority.

6. Where your information is stored

Some of our service providers, including our website host, may store or process data on servers outside India. We transfer personal data outside India only in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and any restrictions notified by the Government of India, and we require our providers to protect it.

7. How long we keep your information

We keep candidate profiles for up to 24 months after our last contact with you, so we can consider you for new opportunities. After that, we delete or anonymise them unless you have asked us to keep them longer or the law requires us to retain them.

If you join DQ Technologies, your information becomes part of your employee record and is kept in line with our employment record-keeping obligations.

You can ask us to delete your profile sooner at any time.

8. How we protect your information

We use reasonable security safeguards to protect personal data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) to our website, access limited to the people who need it for recruitment, and providers who maintain their own security controls. No system is completely secure, but if a personal data breach occurs that affects you, we will inform you and the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.

9. Your rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to:

• Access: ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we use it, and who we have shared it with.
• Correction and completion: ask us to correct inaccurate or misleading data, complete incomplete data, or update it.
• Erasure: ask us to delete your personal data when it is no longer needed for the purpose you gave it for, unless we must keep it by law.
• Grievance redressal: raise a complaint with us about how we handle your data, and receive a response.
• Nomination: nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to do so.

To use any of these rights, email hello@devgiriquantum.in from the address you applied with, or tell us how we can verify your identity. We will respond within the time required by law.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

10. Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw your consent as easily as you gave it, by emailing hello@devgiriquantum.in with the subject "Withdraw consent". Once you withdraw, we will stop processing your data for recruitment and delete it within a reasonable time, unless the law requires us to keep it. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before it.

11. Children

Our opportunities are for experienced professionals. Our website is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Cookies and third-party services

Our website does not set cookies for analytics or advertising. To display the site, your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts and an image from Pexels. These services receive your IP address and basic browser information when the page loads, and handle it under their own privacy policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date. If the changes significantly affect how we use data you have already given us, we will tell you by email.
