1. Introduction
Fine Global HR Services Pvt. Ltd. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data of our candidates, clients, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, password.
- Candidate Profiles: Resume/CV, work experience, education, skills, certifications, passport details, photo, and other documents required for the recruitment process.
- Client Information: Company name, contact person, industry, country, business registration details.
- Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and interaction data collected through cookies and analytics tools.
- Communication Data: Messages exchanged through the platform's chat system, emails, and notifications.
- Recruiter mobile call logs: When a staff recruiter installs the Fine Global Recruiter Android app and explicitly enables call tracking, the app reads that phone's call log (numbers, timestamps, duration, and call type) so calls can be matched to talent and uploaded to ERP. The app does not collect SMS content.
- Recruiter call recordings: On MDM / sideloaded devices, after the recruiter sets Fine Global Recruiter as the default Phone app and consents to recording, the app may store call audio and attach it to that call in ERP. Two-sided GSM capture is OEM-dependent and is not guaranteed on every Android phone. The emulator cannot prove two-sided audio. Recording can be turned off in Settings.
2a. Recruiter companion app
The Fine Global Recruiter Android app is an internal staff tool. Call-log access is requested only after onboarding and explicit consent. While tracking is enabled, a permanent notification shows that the foreground service is running. Recruiters can pause or stop tracking in the app; signing out stops the service and clears the local queue and session token.
- What is processed: phone numbers, call direction, duration, timestamps, optional talent links, and — only after recording consent — call audio stored against that ERP call.
- Background processing: an Android foreground service observes new call-log rows and retries upload. Capture is not guaranteed on every OEM battery setting.
- Retention: uploaded call events follow the same ERP staff-call retention as web-logged calls. Local queued events are removed after a successful upload or when the recruiter signs out.
- Opt-out: decline the permission, pause tracking, or uninstall the app. Existing ERP records remain until deleted under the rights in section 6.
