Partner AppPrivacy Policy
This policy explains what the EzyHelpers Partner App collects from helpers, why we need it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and how you can have it deleted.
Who we are
The EzyHelpers Partner App (the “App”) is published by Aasaan Parijan Private Limited, trading as EzyHelpers, a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with its registered office in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. In this policy “we”, “us” and “EzyHelpers” mean that company, and “you” means a helper, partner or applicant who uses the App.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, EzyHelpers is the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described here and you are the Data Principal.
What this policy covers
This policy applies to the EzyHelpers Partner App used by helpers for registration, onboarding, verification and job matching. If you are a household or customer using our website or booking a helper, read our customer privacy policy and our terms and policies instead.
The App is for adults. You must be 18 years or older to register. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and if we find that we have, we delete it.
Information we collect
Most of this you give us yourself during registration. Some of it is created by our team when we interview, verify or place you. A small amount is collected automatically by the App.
Identity and contact details
- Full name, date of birth, gender and languages you speak
- Your religion, if you choose to tell us. Some households ask for it when they specify a cook or live-in helper; you can leave it blank and it is never used to exclude you from other jobs
- Mobile number (this is your login) and email address, if you give one
- Current address and home town or native place
- Emergency contact name and number that you enter yourself
- Your profile photograph
Work and eligibility information
- Skills, work experience, previous employers and references you provide
- Job preferences: live-in or live-out, working hours, preferred localities, expected salary
- Availability, leave and joining dates
- Training, interview and assessment records created by our team
- Placement history and feedback recorded against your profile
Identity and verification documents
- Government ID that you upload for verification (for example Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN or driving licence)
- Police verification documents where a household or the law requires them
- Address proof and, where applicable, medical fitness or vaccination records you choose to share
- Bank account or UPI details, only where EzyHelpers administers a salary transfer for you
Device, technical and usage data
- Device model and operating system version, app version, language setting, crash and error reports, a Firebase installation ID, and the Android Advertising ID. We also record how you use the app: which screens you open, which registration steps you complete or leave, which jobs you view or apply to, and how long these take. We do not record what you type into free-text fields.
- A device identifier and push notification token so we can send you job alerts
- IP address and approximate region derived from it, for security and fraud prevention
Communications with us
- Messages, support requests and complaints you send us through the app, WhatsApp, SMS or email
- Notes our coordinators record about calls with you, for placement and grievance handling
- One-time passwords (OTPs) used to verify your mobile number
Device permissions the App asks for
Android will ask your permission before the App can use any of these. You can refuse, and you can withdraw a permission later from your phone’s Settings. Refusing a permission only stops the feature that needs it; it does not delete your account.
Camera
CAMERA
To let you take your profile photograph and photograph or scan your identity and verification documents. The app opens the camera only when you tap a capture button.
Photos and files on your phone
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / system picker
To let you attach a photo or document that is already saved on your phone. Only the file you pick is read. We do not scan your gallery or files in the background.
Location
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
To show you jobs near where you are, to fill in your serviceable area during onboarding, and to confirm attendance or a visit when a job requires it. Location is read while the app is open and you are using a feature that needs it. If you deny this permission, you can still use the app and enter your locality manually; only distance-based job sorting stops working.
Phone number and OTP
No SMS permission requested
Your mobile number is your login. We send a one-time password by SMS to verify it. The app does not request permission to read your SMS messages, your call log or your contacts, and it does not read them.
Notifications
Push notifications through Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
To alert you about new job openings, interview times, document requirements and messages from your coordinator. You can turn notifications off in Android settings at any time without losing access to the app.
Internet, network state and advertising ID
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, AD_ID, Install Referrer
To talk to our servers, to know whether you are online, to measure which of our own links or campaigns led you to install the app, and for Google Analytics Advertising Features (including Google Signals and remarketing) as described under "Analytics, advertising and how to opt out". The app shows no third-party adverts inside the app and we do not sell the advertising ID. You can delete or reset it in Android settings.
How we use your information
We process your data on the basis of the consent you give when you register, and to perform the placement service you ask us for. Where the law requires us to keep or disclose something, we rely on that legal obligation.
- To create and verify your helper profile, so households can be confident about who they are hiring
- To match you with jobs that fit your skills, preferred area, working hours and expected salary
- To arrange interviews, trials, joining and replacement, and to keep you informed at each step
- To run background and police verification where a household or the law requires it
- To administer salary transfer and reconciliation, but only where EzyHelpers has agreed to handle payment for a placement
- To provide training, assessments and skill certification
- To send you job alerts and service messages by push notification, SMS, WhatsApp, call or email
- To provide support, investigate complaints and resolve disputes between you and a household
- To keep the platform safe: detect duplicate or fraudulent profiles, prevent misuse and protect other users
- To meet legal, tax and regulatory obligations, and to respond to lawful requests from authorities
Who we share it with
Households and families hiring you
Your name, photograph, age, languages, skills, experience, expected salary, general locality and verification status are shown to a household that is considering hiring you. Your full identity documents are not handed over. Your phone number is shared once a placement is confirmed or once you agree to an interview.
Our own staff and field coordinators
EzyHelpers coordinators access your profile to place you, arrange interviews and handle grievances. Access is limited to staff who need it for their work.
Supabase (database and file storage)
Your profile, documents and application records are stored in our Supabase project, which acts as our data processor. Data is held under our account and is not used by Supabase for its own purposes.
Google (Firebase and Google Analytics)
Hosts push notifications, crash reporting and app analytics. Usage data and the Android Advertising ID are sent to Google Analytics. We have enabled Google Signals, which lets Google associate this usage data with the Google Account of users who are signed in and have Ads Personalisation switched on, so that we can (i) see aggregated demographic and interest reports, (ii) measure activity across your devices, and (iii) show EzyHelpers advertisements on Google services (including YouTube and Google Play) to people who have installed or used the app (“remarketing”). Google acts as an independent controller for this data; its use is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. We do not receive any information from Google that identifies you personally.
Our CRM and business email (Zoho and equivalent tools)
Your enquiry, placement and communication records are also held in our customer relationship system and business email so our team can follow up with you.
Background verification partners
Only when you ask to be verified, or accept a job that requires a police or background check, and after you have consented in the App or in writing. We then send the verifying agency or police authority only the minimum details that check needs (typically your name, address, ID document and photograph). We do not share your profile with any verification agency on our own initiative.
Payment and payroll providers
Only where EzyHelpers administers your salary. Bank or UPI details are shared with the payment provider for the sole purpose of making and reconciling that payment.
Legal and regulatory disclosure
We disclose information where we are required to by law, a court order or a lawful request from a government authority, or where it is necessary to protect the safety of a person.
What we never do
- We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
- We do not rent or trade your phone number or documents to other agencies, brokers or advertisers.
- We do not upload your address book, your photo gallery or your text messages.
- We do not sell your data to advertisers. We do use Google Analytics Advertising Features (Google Signals and remarketing) as described under "Analytics, advertising and how to opt out"; you can opt out of those at any time.
- We do not charge you, the helper, for a placement, and we never ask for your bank password, PIN or OTP. No EzyHelpers employee will ever ask you for an OTP.
Our data is stored on servers located in India and, for some processors, in other countries. Where data is transferred outside India, we do so only to countries not restricted by the Government of India and under contracts that require the processor to protect it to the same standard as this policy.
Analytics, advertising and how to opt out
We use Google Analytics for Firebase, including Google Analytics Advertising Features (Google Signals, remarketing and demographics & interests reporting). You can opt out of these at any time without affecting your ability to use the app:
- Ads Personalisation: open your Google Account → google.com/settings/ads and turn off “Ads Personalisation”. Google will then stop associating your app activity with your account.
- Advertising ID: on your phone, open Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads) and choose “Delete advertising ID” or “Opt out of Ads Personalisation”.
- Your Google activity: you can view and delete data Google holds about your activity at myactivity.google.com.
- Analytics collection by this app: write to contact@ezyhelpers.com from your registered number or email with “Stop analytics for my Partner App account” and we will disable analytics collection for your installation within 30 days.
Google’s own privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy. How Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
How we protect your data
- All traffic between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
- Documents and photographs are held in access-controlled storage, not in a public folder.
- Access to helper records is limited to EzyHelpers staff who need it for placement, verification or support.
- Login is by one-time password to your registered mobile number, so nobody can sign in as you without your phone.
- We review access, keep our systems updated, and investigate any suspected breach.
- If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the Data Protection Board of India as required by the DPDP Act, 2023.
No system is perfectly secure. Please keep your phone locked, never share your OTP with anyone, and tell us immediately if you think someone else has used your account.
How long we keep your data
Active profile
Kept for as long as your account is active and you are available for placement.
After you ask us to delete your account
Your profile is removed from job matching immediately and your personal data is deleted within 30 days.
Records we must keep
Placement, invoice, payment and tax records are retained for up to 8 years where accounting and tax law requires it, and verification records for as long as needed to answer a safety or legal claim. These are kept restricted and are not used for matching.
Inactive accounts
If you have not used the app and have not been placed for 24 months, we contact you and then delete or anonymise the profile.
Deleting your account and your data
You can ask us to delete your Partner App account and the personal data linked to it at any time. You do not have to give a reason, and you do not need the app installed to ask — this page is the deletion request route, so it works even after you have uninstalled.
The Partner App does not have a delete button inside the app. Deletion is handled by our team through the channels below, and every request is actioned the same way.
- 1Send us a deletion request by any one of these: email contact@ezyhelpers.com from your registered email address; or WhatsApp or call +91 76196 29005 from your registered mobile number. Write "Delete my Partner App account".
- 2We verify that the request is really from you, usually by an OTP to your registered number.
- 3We confirm to you in writing that the request has been accepted.
- 4Your profile is withdrawn from job matching straight away, and your personal data, documents and photographs are deleted within 30 days.
Deleting your account removes your profile, your uploaded documents and your photographs. We keep only the placement, invoice, payment and tax records that accounting and tax law requires us to keep, and verification records needed to answer a safety or legal claim, as set out in the table above. Those are kept restricted and are never used for job matching again.
If you want your account paused rather than deleted, tell us and we will mark you unavailable instead, which keeps your profile so you can come back later.
