DPDP Compliance
Our compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
Staffyn complies with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) of India. This page explains how we implement our obligations under the Act.
Data Fiduciary
Staffyn acts as the Data Fiduciary for all personal data collected through this website and our recruitment services. As Data Fiduciary, we determine the purpose and means of processing personal data and are responsible for ensuring compliance with the DPDP Act.
Data Fiduciary contact: hr@staffyn.in
Lawful basis for processing
We process personal data on the basis of explicit, informed consent obtained at the point of data collection. All consent is:
- Specific to the purpose stated at the time of collection
- Freely given — not bundled with other terms or conditions
- Revocable at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
- Documented and stored securely
Purpose limitation
Personal data collected through Staffyn is used exclusively for recruitment and placement purposes. We do not process personal data for any secondary purpose — including advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties — without obtaining fresh, specific consent.
Data minimisation
We collect only the personal data that is necessary for the recruitment process. We do not collect sensitive personal data (as defined under the DPDP Act) unless explicitly required and separately consented to.
Data localisation
All personal data collected by Staffyn is stored and processed within India. We do not transfer personal data to servers or processors located outside India.
Data retention
Personal data is retained for a maximum of 2 years from the date of collection, or until the data principal requests deletion — whichever comes first. After this period, data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from all our systems.
Data security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised Staffyn personnel on a need-to-know basis.
