Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Who We Are

Next Kahuna is operated by Panoptic Analytics Pvt Ltd, registered at 30, Nakoda Complex, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313002, India. We are the data controller for personal information collected through nextkahuna.com.

For privacy-related queries, contact us at hello@nextkahuna.com.

2. What We Collect

When you apply to or use the Platform, we collect and store the following personal information:

Identity & Contact: Your name and email address, provided during the application process.

Professional Profile: Your LinkedIn profile URL, current seniority level, target roles, primary function, location preferences, preferred company stage, and career timing — provided by you when completing your profile.

Usage Data: Basic logs of interactions with the Platform, including which opportunities you expressed interest in or declined. We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics cookies.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data solely to operate the matching service — specifically to evaluate your application, build and maintain your career profile, identify opportunities that match your stated preferences, and notify you via direct message when a genuine match is found.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling for purposes unrelated to the service, or any automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent (given when you submit an application) and for the performance of the service you have requested. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us — this will result in your data being deleted and your access to the Platform being removed.

5. How We Share Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information is shared only in the following limited circumstances:

With employers or hiring parties: Only with your explicit consent, after you have expressed interest in a specific opportunity.

With service providers: We use Cloudflare (infrastructure), Resend (transactional email), and Slack (member communications). Each is bound by appropriate data processing agreements.

Legal requirement: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as you remain an active member of the Platform. If your application is rejected, your data is retained for 90 days and then deleted. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting hello@nextkahuna.com.

7. Data Security

Your data is stored in Cloudflare's D1 database infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only. We conduct regular reviews of our security practices.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you; correct any inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; withdraw consent at any time; and object to processing in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@nextkahuna.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Cookies

We use only essential session cookies required for the Platform to function (such as admin authentication tokens stored in sessionStorage). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed by our service providers in jurisdictions outside India, including the United States (Cloudflare, Slack) and the European Union. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify active members of material changes. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised.
