How Quadzero Pvt. Ltd. collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use the Quadzero-LinkedIn Connector, and the rights you hold over that data.

Who we are
The Quadzero-LinkedIn Connector (the Service) is operated by Quadzero Pvt. Ltd. (“Quadzero”, “we”, “us”). For the purposes of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the DPDP Act) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, Quadzero is the Data Fiduciary that determines the purpose and means of processing your personal data through the Service.
The Service is a tool used by recruiters to automate the publishing of hiring requirements to LinkedIn. This policy explains what data we handle to make that possible.

Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal data we process when you authorize and use the Quadzero-LinkedIn Connector, including data we access from your LinkedIn account under the permissions you grant.
The Service connects to LinkedIn through LinkedIn’s official APIs. LinkedIn is a separate company and its own handling of your data is governed by LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy, which we do not control. This policy covers only what Quadzero does with your data.
Key terms
We use a few terms from the DPDP Act so this policy is precise:
- Data Principal — you, the individual the personal data relates to.
- Data Fiduciary — Quadzero, the entity that decides why and how your data is processed.
- Data Processor — a third party that processes data on our instructions (for example, our cloud hosting provider).
- Personal Data — any data about you that can identify you.
- Processing — any operation performed on personal data, such as collecting, storing, using, or erasing it.
Data we collect
a. LinkedIn data accessed under your authorization
When you connect your LinkedIn account, you grant the Service specific permissions through LinkedIn’s authorization screen. Subject only to the permissions you approve, we access:
- Connection and company / organization data available to your account, used to target and publish your hiring requirements appropriately.
- Content you publish through the Service, including the posts the Service creates on your behalf, because we post to LinkedIn for you.
- Post analytics and engagement metrics for content published through the Service, so you can see how your hiring posts perform.
- Basic account identifiers (such as your LinkedIn member identifier) needed to authenticate you and link your session to the correct account.
We access only what the permissions you grant allow, and only for the purposes described in this policy. You can revoke these permissions at any time (see Retention & deletion).
b. Usage analytics
We collect data about how the Service is used — for example, features accessed, actions taken, timestamps, and basic technical information such as device or browser type and error logs. We use this to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
c. Information you provide to us
If you contact us (for example, by emailing support or making a data request), we process the information you choose to share with us in that communication.
We do not intentionally collect special or sensitive categories of data through the Service, and we ask that you do not submit such data into hiring posts.
How we use your data
- To provide the core function of the Service — publishing your hiring requirements to LinkedIn on your behalf.
- To retrieve and present analytics on the posts you publish through the Service.
- To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
- To respond to your enquiries and support requests.
- To comply with applicable law and to detect, prevent, or address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not profile you for purposes unrelated to the Service.
Our legal basis
Under the DPDP Act, we process your personal data on the basis of your consent. You give that consent when you authorize the Service through LinkedIn’s permission screen and when you continue to use the Service after reviewing this policy. Your consent is specific to the purposes set out in Section 5.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it — see Your rights and Retention & deletion. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before the withdrawal.
Use of LinkedIn data
Our use of LinkedIn data is also governed by the LinkedIn API Terms of Use and Platform guidelines. Specifically:
- We access LinkedIn data only within the scope of the permissions you grant, and only to provide the features described here.
- We do not sell LinkedIn data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing or independent purposes.
- You can disconnect the Service at any time from your LinkedIn account settings, which revokes our access to your LinkedIn data going forward.
Sharing & sub-processors
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
We share data only with the following category of recipient, strictly to operate the Service:
- Cloud infrastructure — Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Service is hosted on AWS, which stores and processes data on our behalf as our Data Processor, under contractual terms requiring it to protect the data and use it only on our instructions.
We may also disclose data where we are required to do so by law, by a valid legal process, or by a competent authority, or where necessary to protect our rights, users, or the security of the Service.
Storage & location
Your data is stored and processed on AWS infrastructure located in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region — ap-south-1, within India. We rely on AWS’s physical, network, and operational security controls in addition to our own safeguards.
