1Introduction & Scope

Mauna Kea Executive Search (“Mauna Kea”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating under the domain https://maunakea.co.in, provides an executive search recruitment command platform and candidate engagement portal (“Mauna Kea OS” or the “Platform”).

This Privacy Policy describes our practices concerning the collection, storage, processing, transfer, and protection of personal and corporate information when you use our website, authenticated portals, and integrated recruitment services.

2Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories to provide and enhance our executive recruitment operations:

When you sign in using email/password or Google OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO), we collect your name, verified primary email address, profile photo URL, and Google Account ID for identity verification and secure session management.

B. Candidate Professional Profiles

Resumes, curriculum vitae (CV), LinkedIn profile exports, employment history, leadership competencies, career timeline, compensation milestones, notice period, and structured conversational interview responses submitted during candidate onboarding.

C. Client & Mandate Data

Client organizational details, corporate entity information, hiring mandates, interview evaluations, feedback logs, commercial contract parameters, GST/tax identifiers, and invoicing records.

D. Technical & Log Data

IP addresses, browser type, device characteristics, timestamps, access logs, and session cookies required for network security, rate limiting, and system auditability.

Google API Compliance

Google API Services User Data Policy & Limited Use Disclosure

Mauna Kea OS integrates with Google OAuth to enable seamless single sign-on authentication for candidates, clients, and consultants.

Mauna Kea OS's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

  • We only request Google OAuth scopes strictly necessary for identity verification (openid, email, profile).
  • We do NOT transfer or sell Google user data to third parties for advertising or commercial brokerage.
  • We do NOT use Google user data to train generalized artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning models without explicit consent.
  • Human access to user data is strictly restricted to authorized platform administrators resolving specific technical or support inquiries.

3How We Use Your Information

  • Authentication & Security: Verifying credentials, managing access control, preventing fraudulent logins, and auditing platform security.
  • Executive Recruitment Facilitation: Matching senior leadership candidates with executive hiring mandates opened by client organizations.
  • Candidate & Client Dashboards: Providing structured profiles, interview schedules, competency comparison matrices, and pipeline analytics.
  • Communication: Transmitting interview notifications, mandate status updates, contract documents, and customer support communications.
  • Compliance & Governance: Maintaining legal audit logs, tax invoicing records (GST), and regulatory reporting.

4Data Protection, Security & Retention

We implement enterprise-grade technical and organizational safeguards:

  • Encryption: All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.3 encryption; all database stores and documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256 standards.
  • Row-Level Security (RLS): Granular multi-tenant database policies isolate candidate profiles and client organizational data.
  • Retention Periods: Candidate and client data is retained as long as the account remains active or as required by statutory financial regulations (e.g. tax and contract invoice histories).
