Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 24, 2026. How Parikshafy collects, processes, and protects recruiter and candidate information.

1. Introduction & Roles

Parikshafy Technologies Private Limited (“Parikshafy”, “we”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data collection and processing practices.

Under global data protection laws (such as the GDPR, CCPA, and applicable state regulations):

  • For Candidate Data: Our Customer (the hiring organization) acts as the Data Controller. Parikshafy acts strictly as a Data Processor on the Customer's behalf.
  • For Recruiter & Account Data: Parikshafy acts as the Data Controller for our direct customers' account and billing details.

2. Information We Collect

A. Candidate Assessment Data

  • Contact details (Name, email address, phone number, college/registration if requested by employer).
  • Assessment responses (MCQ choices, submitted code, SQL queries, subjective responses).
  • Proctoring telemetry (Webcam snapshots, screen captures, audio volume levels, tab-switch and focus events).
  • Technical metadata (Browser type, operating system, IP address, device fingerprints for anti-impersonation).

B. Recruiter & Customer Data

  • Account details (Full name, work email, hashed passwords).
  • Organization details (Company name, logo, custom branding colors, billing address, tax identification / GSTIN).
  • Audit logs (Record of recruiter actions, invitations sent, score adjustments, candidate exports).

3. Purpose of Processing & Candidate Consent

Candidate data is processed solely to deliver the assessment requested by the hiring company and to evaluate technical proficiency and exam integrity.

Pre-Assessment Consent: Before beginning an assessment, candidates are prompted for explicit consent regarding:

  1. Participation in the technical assessment and sharing results with the hiring employer.
  2. Remote proctoring (camera, screen sharing, audio monitoring) if configured by the employer.

We never sell candidate data, license candidate responses, or use candidate code or images to train external artificial intelligence models.

4. Data Retention & Erasure

Candidate assessment data and proctoring snapshots are retained according to the schedule configured by the customer organization (e.g., 30, 90, or 365 days). Upon retention expiry or an authorized deletion request, personal identifiers and proctoring media are permanently expunged or anonymized from object storage and database tables.

5. Candidate Rights (DSAR)

Candidates wishing to access, rectify, or request deletion of their assessment records should submit their request directly to the hiring company (the Data Controller).Parikshafy provides automated tools for employers to execute candidate data exports and anonymization requests.

6. Security & Sub-Processors

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We utilize trusted cloud infrastructure providers and payment gateways under strict Data Processing Agreements. See our Sub-Processors Directory for our current vendor list.
