Privacy Policy

Effective date: 5 October 2026 · Applies to rayfer.in and the Rayfer web app

Rayfer ("Rayfer", "we", "us") runs rayfer.in, a platform that connects job seekers with verified employees ("referrers") who can refer them for roles at their companies. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have. If you have any questions, write to crew@rayfer.in.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

Account details: your email address and password, or the details Google shares when you choose "Continue with Google" (see section 2).
Profile details: full name, phone number, LinkedIn profile URL (optional) and your resume file.
Referral requests: the companies you choose, the role and career area you are applying for, job links or job IDs, and any message you write to the referrer.
Referrer applications: if you apply to become a referrer, your full name, company, designation, official work email and a proof-of-employment file (for example an employee ID or a work-email screenshot).
Referral proof: if you are a referrer, the screenshot or file you upload to show a referral was submitted, plus an optional referral ID and note.
Support messages: anything you send us by email.

Information collected automatically

Payment records: when you buy a plan, Razorpay processes the payment. We receive the order ID, payment ID, amount, plan and payment status. We never receive or store your full card, UPI or bank details.
Usage and device data: pages visited, approximate region, browser and device type, collected through Vercel Web Analytics in aggregated form. It does not use advertising cookies or build cross-site profiles.
Sign-in session: a session token stored in your browser so you stay signed in.

2. Information we receive from Google

If you sign in with Google, we request only the standard openid, email and profile permissions. From your Google Account we receive:

your name,
your email address and whether it is verified,
your profile picture URL, and
a unique Google account identifier.

We use this information only to create your Rayfer account, sign you in, show your name in the app and contact you about your account and referrals. We do not access your Gmail, Google Drive, contacts, calendar or any other Google data.

Rayfer's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.

3. How we use your information

To create and secure your account and sign you in.
To match your referral requests with verified referrers at the companies you choose, and to show you the status of each request.
To verify that referrers really work at the company they name.
To process payments, prevent fraud and keep records required by law.
To send service emails, such as request updates, referral confirmations and receipts. You can turn off non-essential notification emails in your profile settings.
To answer support requests and resolve disputes.
To understand how the site is used, in aggregate, so we can improve it.

We process your information on the basis of your consent, to perform our contract with you, and to meet our legal obligations, in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable law.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these cases:

Verified referrers at the companies you choose. When you request a referral, approved referrers at that company can see your name, the role, career area, job link or ID, your message, your LinkedIn URL and your resume, so they can refer you. They cannot see your phone number, password or payment details.
Job seekers you refer. If you are a referrer, the job seeker sees the status of their request and, once you submit it, the referral proof and optional referral ID you upload.
Rayfer administrators, who review referrer applications, proofs and disputes.
Service providers who process data on our behalf under contract:

Provider	What they do	Data involved
Supabase	Database, sign-in and file storage	Account, profile, requests, uploaded files
Google	"Continue with Google" sign-in	Name, email, profile picture
Razorpay	Payment processing	Email, order and payment details
Resend	Sending service emails	Name, email, email content
Vercel	Website hosting and aggregated analytics	Usage and device data

We may also disclose information if required by law, court order or a government authority, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and Rayfer. If Rayfer is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may move to the new owner under this policy.

5. How long we keep it

Account and profile information: for as long as your account is active.
Referral requests and referral proofs: for as long as your account is active, so both sides can see the history.
Referrer proof-of-employment files: until your application is reviewed and for as long as you remain a referrer.
Payment records: for the period required by Indian tax and accounting law (generally up to 8 years).

When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal information within 30 days, except records we must keep by law.

6. How we protect it

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Resumes, referrer proofs and referral proofs are kept in private storage and are opened only through short-lived links for people who are allowed to see them. Database access rules limit each user to their own records, and admin actions are checked on the server.

7. Your choices and rights

View and update your profile at any time from your dashboard.
Turn email notifications on or off in your profile.
Ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your account and data by writing to crew@rayfer.in. We respond within 30 days.
Withdraw consent for Google Sign-In at any time from your Google Account's security settings (myaccount.google.com/permissions).

8. Children

Rayfer is for people aged 18 and over who are looking for work or referring candidates. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and tell signed-in users by email or in the app before the changes apply.
