Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 14, 2026  ·  Verfolia Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Verfolia Placements is a B2B platform. Our customers are colleges and educational institutions, not individual students. This policy explains how we handle data on behalf of your institution and your students.

1. Who We Are

Verfolia Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ("Verfolia", "we", "us") operates Verfolia Placements, a placement management platform used by colleges and universities across India. Our registered contact is melroy@verfolia.com.

When your institution subscribes to Verfolia Placements, the institution acts as the data controller for student and employer data. Verfolia acts as a data processor, handling that data only as instructed by the institution and as described in this policy.

2. Data We Collect and Why

Institution account data

When your placement cell registers, we collect the contact person's name, email address, college name, and designation. This is used to operate your account and communicate with you.

Student data uploaded by your institution

Your placement team uploads student records including names, branches, CGPA, skills, placement status, and contact details. This data powers the AI matching, profile sharing, and reporting features. Verfolia does not use student data for any purpose beyond delivering the platform to your institution.

Your institution is responsible for ensuring students are informed about and consent to their data being managed through this platform, in line with applicable regulations including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Employer data

Contact details and activity data for companies your placement cell interacts with — including who viewed profiles, for how long, and what actions they took. This is visible only to your institution's admin account.

Usage and analytics data

We collect anonymised data about how the platform is used — page visits, feature usage, errors — to improve performance and stability. This is not linked to individual students or staff members.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To operate and deliver the Verfolia Placements platform
  • To power the daily job feed, AI student matching, employer tracking, and report generation
  • To send transactional notifications (placement alerts, report summaries, support replies)
  • To improve platform features and fix issues
  • To fulfil our contractual obligations, including the placement improvement guarantee

We do not use your institution's data or your students' data for advertising, third-party analytics, or model training.

4. Who We Share Data With

We share data only with the following categories of sub-processors, all bound by data processing agreements:

  • Supabase — database and authentication infrastructure, hosted in AWS data centres
  • Vercel — application hosting and delivery
  • Resend — transactional email delivery
  • Anthropic — AI-powered matching and insights (data is not retained for model training under our enterprise terms)

We never sell data. We never share student or institution data with other colleges, employers, or third parties without your explicit instruction.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and student data for as long as your institution is an active customer. When you close your account, we delete or anonymise all personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by Indian law or for resolving disputes.

Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics that cannot be linked to any individual may be retained for internal analytics.

6. Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Access to production data is restricted to authorised Verfolia personnel only, under role-based access controls. We conduct periodic security reviews.

No system can guarantee complete security. In the event of a data breach that affects your institution, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

7. Your Rights

As a subscribing institution, you can at any time:

  • Export all student data in CSV format from your dashboard
  • Request deletion of your account and all associated data
  • Correct or update your institution's account details
  • Request a copy of the data we hold about your institution

For any of the above, email melroy@verfolia.com. We respond within 5 business days.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies only — session tokens and authentication cookies required for the platform to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, but core platform features will not work without them.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our practices change. Material changes will be communicated by email to your institution's registered contact at least 14 days before they take effect. The current version is always available at verfolia.com/privacy.
