Privacy policy

How hire.bid collects, uses and protects information, including data received from Google Sign-In. Last updated 11 November 2026.

1. Who is responsible

hire.bid is operated by Akshay Johny, India. Contact and grievance officer: Akshay Johny, hello@akshayjohny.com. We reply within 30 days.

2. Job seekers

You do not need an account. We do not receive your applications — you apply on the employer’s site or by email. The salary calculator at salary.hire.bid runs entirely in your browser; the numbers you type are never sent to us.

3. Data from Google (employers)

When an employer chooses “Sign in with Google”, Google shares only basic profile data: name, email address, profile picture, a unique Google account ID and whether the email is verified. We do not access Gmail, contacts, Drive or any other Google data and never receive your password.

4. How we use Google data

Only to create and sign in to your employer account, confirm a verified email, show who posted a job to admins, and contact you about your account or posts. We do not sell it, use it for advertising or to train AI models. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

5. Data employers give us

Company name, website, description, city and the job posts you create. Company and job details are public once approved.

6. Cookies and statistics

One sign-in cookie (hb_session) for employers, not used for tracking. For security and anonymous visit counts we process IP address and browser type; statistics are aggregated and contain no personal profile. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies. When you report a job we store the reason and a one-day anonymous code to stop duplicate reports.

7. Service providers

The site runs on Cloudflare (hosting and database). Google provides sign-in. We do not sell or rent personal data and share it only if the law requires it or to prevent fraud.

8. Retention and your rights

Employer data is kept while the account is open; expired jobs are kept as records unless you ask us to remove them. Sessions expire after 30 days. You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent, by emailing hello@akshayjohny.com, and you can remove hire.bid’s access in your Google account settings. These rights apply under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

9. Security and changes

All traffic uses HTTPS; session tokens are stored only as hashes. We may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest version.
