How does VOUCHIR comply with DPDP Act 2023 Section 7(i) consent requirements?

VOUCHIR enforces an explicit, pre-ingress candidate consent gate before any candidate PII or resume enters the ATS. Candidates receive an affirmative consent modal detailing processing terms, referral attribution notice, and purpose limitation with a verifiable cryptographic JSON consent receipt.

How does VOUCHIR insulate employers under DPDP Act Section 33?

By executing cryptographic provenance hashing (HMAC-SHA256) upon referral creation, enforcing affirmative candidate opt-in, and implementing automated 180-day TTL data destruction, VOUCHIR insulates employers from statutory non-compliance exposure up to the ₹250 Cr statutory ceiling under Section 33.

Where is candidate data hosted and stored for residency compliance?

All candidate data and referral attribution records reside strictly within statutory Indian sovereign cloud regions: AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) with secondary hot disaster recovery replication in GCP Delhi (asia-south2).

STATUTORY PILLARS

DPDP Act 2023 Statutory Compliance Grid

India DPDP 2023 & EU GDPR Art. 28 Aligned

Section 7(i) Pre-Ingress Consent

Zero unconsented PII uploads. In traditional referral systems, employees upload peer resumes without consent. VOUCHIR completely inverts this liability: advocates distribute 1-click encrypted tokens, and candidates explicitly authorize purpose-limited data processing before entering the ATS.

Zero Third-Party Advertising Pixels

180-Day Automated Retention TTL

Programmatic purge and cryptographic shredding routines. Candidate evaluation artifacts and contact vectors are subject to an automated 180-day Time-To-Live (TTL). Upon timeline expiry or candidate revocation, PII is irrevocably scrubbed while the referral ledger preserves immutable SHA-256 provenance.

Automated Hard Deletion Sweeps

Statutory Liability Shield

Direct mapping mitigating DPDP Section 33 penalties (up to ₹250 Crore / $30 Million USD for personal data breaches). By confining candidate data ingestion to single-tenant VPC boundaries and providing real-time Data Subject Request (DSR) export APIs, your enterprise risk is eliminated.

Statutory Co-Vouch Protection & Tax Compliance Note

The 50/50 dual-milestone model is architected in accordance with statutory guidelines. Milestone 1 vouchers (Joining) are categorized under Section 17(2)(viii) of the Income-tax Act (tax-free gift voucher limit up to ₹15,000 / year or standard payroll tax deduction for higher values). Milestone 2 vests purely upon the completion of 90 calendar days of verified tenure, protecting corporate talent budgets against unearned placements and agency churn.
