Educator Terms and Consent

These terms explain, in plain words, what happens to the details you give HiRedPen (hiredpen.in) and what you agree to when you create your educator profile.

1. What you share with us

Your name, mobile number, e-mail, city, subjects, classes, qualifications, experience, current or last institution, expected salary, your resume file, and anything optional you add, such as a demo class video link or online tutoring details.

We do not ask for your religion, caste, marital status, date of birth, Aadhaar or bank details. Please don't put them in your resume.

2. Why we use it

• To check that your profile is genuine.
• To show your profile to verified institutions that are hiring.
• To send your job applications to the institutions you apply to.
• To contact you about your profile, applications and suitable jobs.
• If you switch on online tutoring: to show your tutor card to parents and students, and to put them in touch with you.

3. Who can see what

• Verified institutions: your subjects, classes, qualifications, experience, city and the rest of your profile, with your name shortened and no contact details. Your full name, phone and e-mail are shown only after an institution unlocks your profile to hire.
• Parents and students (only if you switch on tutoring): your first name and initial, tutoring subjects, classes, city, fee and your one-line note. Never your phone or e-mail.
• The HiRedPen team: everything, including your resume file, to verify you and help you get hired. The team keeps it confidential.
• Nobody else. Your profile is not public on the internet, and we never sell or rent your data.

4. Your promises

• The details and resume you share are true and your own.
• You won't upload fake certificates or someone else's documents.
• You'll keep your profile up to date, or hide it when you're not looking for work.

Details we have checked show a ✓ Verified badge. Everything else is shown as self-declared. We may hide or remove a profile that seems false.

5. What HiRedPen does and doesn't do

• HiRedPen is free for educators. We never ask you for money to apply, to be shortlisted or to get a job. If anyone does, report it to us.
• We help you get found, but we can't promise a job or an interview. Hiring decisions are made by institutions.
• Tutoring fees are agreed between you and the parent. HiRedPen does not take a cut.

6. Your choices and rights

• Hide your profile from all institutions, or from one (for example, your current employer), in your profile settings.
• Switch off tutoring at any time. Your tutor card is removed straight away.
• See or correct your details on your profile page.
• Withdraw your consent and delete your account from Me → Account. Your profile, resume file and applications are deleted. Institutions that already unlocked your contact details before that may still have them.
• If something goes wrong, write to us (below). If you're not satisfied with our reply, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

7. How we keep your data

Your data is stored securely with access limited by role, and sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. We keep it while your account is active. If your account is unused for 3 years, we may delete it after telling you.

8. Changes and contact

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll show you the new version and ask you to agree again.

Questions or complaints: grievance@hiredpen.in (our Grievance Officer). We reply within 7 days.

These terms work alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
