Your data, plainly.

Slatebook (“we”, “us”) operates the slatebook.in website and related services. We’re based in India and operate under Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023.

We only collect what we need to run the service:

• Account data — your name and email address (from your Google or LinkedIn account).
• Profile data— work experience, education, skills, projects, accomplishments, certifications, location, headline, summary, profile picture. You provide this; we don’t infer it.
• Job preferences — target roles, locations, working style, target company stages and industries.
• Job interaction data — which jobs you save, apply to, or dismiss. We use this to improve your recommendations over time.
• Social graph — your connections, messages, vouches, and collaboration history on the platform.
• Technical data — auth session cookies, last-login timestamp, and minimal server logs (IP and user-agent for security investigation only).

We use semantic analysis, language models, and our own industry and domain intelligence to match candidates with relevant roles, parse résumés you upload, and personalise recommendations. AI outputs can occasionally be wrong, and you remain in full control of any AI-generated text on your profile or résumé.

We do not use your data to train any third-party model beyond the brief processing required for the features above.

• We don’t track you across the web. No advertising or analytics trackers.
• We don’t sell or rent your data to anyone, ever.
• We don’t allow advertisers to target you based on your profile.
• We don’t share your profile with employers without your explicit action (e.g., applying to a role).

Your data exists to do three jobs:

• Match you with relevant roles. Your profile and preferences feed the recommendation engine that scores every active job listing against you.
• Power the platform’s social features. Connections, vouches, messages, and the public profile you choose to publish.
• Operate the service. Authentication, account recovery, and transactional email (e.g., connection requests).

We work with a small set of infrastructure providers to run the platform — hosting, database, email delivery, and AI processing. Each is bound by a data processing agreement and none retain your data for their own purposes.

We share data with employers only when you choose to apply to a role. We never share your private profile or preference data without your consent.

By default, your profile is private. The exceptions, both opt-in:

• Your public profile at slatebook.in/u/<your-username>, accessible only after you choose a username.
• Your Slate at slatebook.in/u/<your-username>/slate — same gating.
• Connections you accept can see your full profile within the platform.

You can, at any time:

• Download all your data as a JSON file from Settings.
• Delete your account and everything associated with it from Settings. This is irreversible and immediate.
• Edit any profile field at any time without approval.
• Opt out of email digests (all opt-in by default).
• Request a copy of any data we hold beyond what the export covers, by writing to support@slatebook.in.

We use one strictly-necessary cookie for authentication. That’s it — no analytics, no tracking, no marketing cookies.

We retain your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, everything except minimal abuse- investigation logs (kept for up to 90 days) is removed immediately.

All traffic to slatebook.in is encrypted in transit (TLS). Database access is restricted via row-level security so users can only read their own data. We don’t store payment card data — any future billing will be handled by a regulated payment processor.

Slatebook is intended for working professionals and is not for users under 18. We don’t knowingly collect data from children.

If we make substantive changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and notify active users at least seven days before the change takes effect.
