Privacy policy

Halcer takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our website, contact us, apply for roles, or work with our staffing services — and what we do with it.

1. Who is responsible

Halcer is the organisation responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Contact: hello@halcer.com. For HR-related career applications to join Halcer itself, you may also write to hr@halcer.com.

2. Whose information we process

• Website visitors who browse our pages or contact us online.
• Candidates and associates seeking work, applying for roles, or working on assignment with client organisations.
• Client and prospect contacts at companies exploring or using Halcer services.
• Job applicants for roles within Halcer.

3. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Name, email address, phone number, and message content when you contact us.
• CV/résumé details, work history, education, skills, preferences, and availability when you apply or register interest in work.
• Business contact details and requirements when you enquire as an employer.
• Identity or right-to-work information where required for placement or compliance.

Information collected automatically

Information from others

Where lawful and relevant, we may receive information from referees, professional networks, publicly available sources, background-check providers (where authorised), or client feedback related to an assignment.

4. Why we use personal information

• to respond to enquiries and route messages to the right team;
• to assess suitability for roles, contact you about opportunities, and manage placements;
• to provide staffing and workforce services to clients;
• to improve our website, content, and services;
• to meet legal, regulatory, tax, and contractual obligations;
• to protect Halcer, our people, candidates, and clients against fraud or misuse;
• with your consent where required (for example, certain marketing emails).

5. Legal bases (where applicable)

Depending on the context and applicable law (including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, where it applies), we rely on consent, performance of a contract or steps prior to a contract, legitimate use for staffing and business operations, and compliance with law.

6. Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:

• Client employers when you are put forward for, or placed in, a role — limited to what is needed for hiring and assignment management;
• Service providers who support email, hosting, analytics, IT, or recruitment operations under appropriate confidentiality obligations;
• Professional advisers and authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety;
• Successors in the event of a business reorganisation, with safeguards where required.

7. International transfers

Halcer is based in India. If tools or partners process data outside India, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate protection consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the processing.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including recruitment cycles, client service history, legal retention requirements, and dispute resolution. Candidate profiles that are inactive for a prolonged period may be archived or deleted according to our internal schedules, unless law requires longer retention.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use care when sending sensitive details by email.

10. Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, updating, or deletion of your personal information, or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To make a request, email hello@halcer.com with enough detail for us to locate your records. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

11. Children

Our Site and services are directed to adults seeking work or engaging workforce services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date will reflect the latest version. Material changes may also be highlighted on the Site or by email where appropriate.
