Privacy Policy

How COvia handles personal information shared with us through this website.

This policy is a working draft prepared for the COvia website launch. It should be reviewed by legal counsel before publication.

This policy explains what information COvia collects when you use coviaconsulting.cc, why we collect it, how we use and store it, and the choices you have.

COvia operates from Bengaluru, India and Auckland, New Zealand and works with organisations and individuals across geographies. We handle personal information in line with applicable law, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act and New Zealand's Privacy Act.

What we collect

Information you provide: your name, work email, organisation, location, the area of enquiry and any details you include in a form, job submission or application.

Information collected automatically: basic technical data needed to serve the website securely, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. We do not use advertising trackers.

Information from third parties: where you share a job opening, we may hold the original posting details and application link you supply.

How we use it

To respond to enquiries about talent partnerships, community membership, corporate gifting, events and collaborations.

To review and publish job listings submitted by employers, and to help professionals discover relevant opportunities.

To send updates you have asked for, such as the newsletter, and to keep records of our relationship with you.

To operate, secure and improve the website.

Why we are allowed to use it

We process personal information because you have asked us to respond to you, because it is necessary to deliver a service you requested, because we have a legitimate interest in operating our business, or because you have consented.

Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it at any time by emailing us.

How long we keep it

Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to handle them and to maintain a record of the relationship, then deleted or anonymised.

Job listings are removed after one month or when the vacancy closes, whichever is earlier. Submitted listings that are not published are deleted.

You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, object to certain uses, or withdraw consent.

To make a request, email connect@coviaconsulting.cc. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

The website is served over HTTPS and access to administrative areas is restricted and separately authenticated. We limit access to personal information to people who need it for the purposes above.

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
