Privacy notice
Data fiduciary: N53 Techworks LLP, 19th Floor, Tower-B, Alphathum, Sector-90, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201305, India.
Launchpad is a marketplace for job-linked training programmes. This notice explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and how long we keep it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Full name | To identify your application to you and to the training provider. |
| Email address | To send your acknowledgement, your status updates, and your reference. |
| Phone number | To make the qualifying call. It is shared with the training provider if you proceed. |
| Date of birth | To check the age band a programme states, before you spend time on it. |
| City and state | To show you programmes with seats near you. |
| Highest qualification and year of completion | To check the academic requirement a programme states. |
| Fresher or experienced | Some programmes accept only candidates with no prior full-time experience. |
| Whether you own a two-wheeler, whether you hold a driving licence | Two programmes make these a hard requirement of the role. |
| Languages you speak | Some roles state a local-language requirement. |
| Your CV, if you upload one | Passed to the training provider if you proceed. Optional, an application without one is complete. |
| The consent wording you agreed to, and when | So that what you agreed to on the day can always be established. |
| Your IP address and browser user agent at the moment of consent | Recorded with the consent, as evidence of it, and for rate limiting. |
We do not collect financial information. We do not ask about your income, your family's income, your credit history, or your ability to borrow, because we have no use for any of it.
Who we share it with
We share your application with the training provider whose programme you applied to, and through that provider, with the prospective employer they put you forward to. This is the core of what Launchpad does, and it is the reason your application exists. Before we share anything, a member of staff sees a list of exactly which fields will be transmitted, and that list is recorded against your application.
We do not share your data with lenders, financing companies, or credit intermediaries of any kind. Not for a fee, not for an introduction, not as an aggregate. Launchpad has no commercial relationship with any such company and no field in this system records one.
We use two processors: Supabase, which hosts the database and file storage, and Resend, which delivers our email. Neither sells data and neither receives your data for their own purposes. We use no analytics vendor that receives personal information.
We disclose data to a public authority only where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Each period below is enforced by a job that runs every day, not by anyone remembering. When a period ends the data is deleted, or, where a record has to survive as evidence of what you were shown and charged, everything identifying you is cleared from it and only the reference, the figures and the programme details remain.
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| A CV you uploaded but never attached to an application | 24 hours. |
| Your CV | 180 days from the date you applied. 365 days if your application reached the point where it was shared with a training provider. Then the file is deleted and the deletion is logged. |
| An interest registration, where you asked to be told when seats open | 90 days. Then the row is deleted. |
| Your application record | 3 years from the date you applied. Then your name, email, phone, date of birth, city, state and languages are cleared from it. |
| A data request you made to us, once we have actioned it | 3 years. Then your email address is cleared and only the kind of request, the dates and what we did remain, as proof we answered you. |
| The audit log, a record of what was done to your data and by whom. It holds no name, phone or email. | 7 years. |
Your rights
You may ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Use https://launchpad.peoplecap.in/data-request. We verify the request by sending a link to the email address on the application before we act on it, because acting on an unverified deletion request would itself be a breach.
You may withdraw your consent at any time through the same route. Withdrawing consent stops future processing; it does not undo a disclosure already made to a training provider, and we will tell you plainly if that has already happened.
How consent is recorded
When you apply, the exact wording you agreed to is stored with your application, together with a SHA-256 hash of that wording and the time you agreed. The wording is versioned: when we change it, the old version is retained. It is always possible to establish what you agreed to on the day you applied.
Marketing consent is separate, optional, never pre-ticked, and never a condition of applying.
If something goes wrong
If personal data held by us is compromised, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India and every affected person, describing what happened, what data was involved, and what we are doing about it. We will not wait for certainty about the scope before telling you that something has happened.
