Privacy Policy — Bharat Jobs
What this app is (and is not)
Bharat Jobs is an independent directory that gathers the most trending job-search websites for the Indian market in one place and helps you reach them quickly. On top of that directory the app adds its own native features: swipeable category lanes (Top Picks, IT & Software, Government / Sarkari, Freshers & Internships, Field & Gig, Remote & WFH, Leadership), on-device saved portals, search, and a short job-hunting tips sheet. When you tap a portal, it opens inside a simple in-app browser, and you can hand the page off to your phone’s default browser at any time with “Open in browser”. Bharat Jobs is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the websites or employers it links to (Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, foundit, Shine, TimesJobs, Glassdoor, Instahyre, Cutshort, Hirist, Wellfound, Turing, NaukriGulf, iimjobs, HeadHonchos, Internshala, Freshersworld, Apna, WorkIndia, Quikr, National Career Service, Sarkari Result, FreeJobAlert, Employment News, UPSC, SSC, or any other). All product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
What this app collects
Bharat Jobs does not collect any personal information from you. There are no user accounts, no sign-in, and no server we control that stores your activity.
| Data | Collected? | Stored where |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, account info | No | — |
| Device location | No | — |
| Contacts, camera, microphone | No — the app does not request these permissions | — |
| Saved portals | Only which of the built-in portals you tap the star icon on (stored as short IDs) | App-private SharedPreferences on this device only |
| Pages you open in the in-app browser | Loaded directly from the portal’s own website; the app does not log, read, or transmit your browsing | Standard WebView cache on your device (clearable in Android settings) |
| Crash logs / analytics | No | — |
How the in-app browser works
Tapping a portal opens that portal’s own public website inside Android’s standard WebView component, scoped to the URL you selected. The page is served directly by the website — the same content you would get by typing the address into any browser. Bharat Jobs does not inject scripts into those pages, and does not read your cookies, login credentials, session tokens, or the content you submit on them. For sign-in or applying with an account, we recommend using the “Open in browser” button so the flow runs in your full system browser, where the third-party site’s own privacy policy applies.
Tips content
The “About & tips” sheet contains general orientation about job hunting in India — résumé conventions, alerts, and how to track government (sarkari) exam dates. It is informational only and is not an offer of employment, a guarantee of selection, or financial or legal advice. Rules and dates change — always confirm current requirements with the official portal (e.g. NCS, UPSC, SSC) before acting.
Permissions the app requests
- Internet / network state — required to load portal pages and to request ads. The app shows a “You’re offline” screen when there is no connection.
The app does not request contacts, location, microphone, camera, storage, or any other sensitive permission.
Advertising
Bharat Jobs shows ads provided by Google AdMob in three formats: banner (a small strip at the bottom of the screen), interstitial (an occasional full-screen ad after several portal opens), and app-open (a full-screen ad when you bring the app back to the foreground — never on the first launch). Google’s advertising SDK collects and processes limited data — for example, your device’s advertising identifier and approximate IP-based location — to serve and measure ads. This is governed by Google’s policies:
If you live in a region where consent is required (the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or a US state with applicable privacy law), the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) and you can re-open the consent form from About & tips → “Manage ad privacy choices”.
No fees, ever
Bharat Jobs is free and will never ask you to pay for a job or an application. Legitimate Indian employers and government recruiters do not charge candidates a placement fee. Treat anyone who asks for a deposit, “registration fee”, or upfront payment as a red flag.
Children
Bharat Jobs is intended for job seekers and is not designed for children. The AdMob ad content is mixed-audience.
