Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 September 2026 · Cadre, operated by Pranav Kalambi

What Cadre is today. Cadre is a demonstration of an HR management module. The employee records, salaries, leave balances and directory accounts you can see in it are synthetic — a fictional company called Northwind Manufacturing. No real employer uses this instance, and no real employee data is held in it. This policy describes what actually happens, not what a production HR service would do.

1. Who is responsible

Cadre is operated by Pranav Kalambi (India). For any question about this policy or about data held about you, write to pkalambi@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

If you sign in with Google

Cadre requests only your basic profile. From Google we receive, and store:

We do not request or receive access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service. We ask for no scope beyond sign-in.

If you only browse the demo

Nothing that identifies you. The demo requires no sign-in and creates no account.

Technical data

The web server records ordinary access logs — IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent — which is what any web server does and what is needed to run one safely. A session cookie is set only after you sign in.

3. What we do not do

4. Cookies

One cookie, set only when you sign in, holding a session token. It is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite-restricted, so it cannot be read by scripts and does not travel to other sites. It expires when the session does. There are no other cookies.

5. Where it is stored, and for how long

On a single virtual server in Mumbai, India, in a PostgreSQL database that only this application can reach. Session tokens are stored as hashes, not in readable form, so a copy of the database does not let anyone impersonate a signed-in user.

Accounts are kept while they are in use. Ask us to delete yours and we will remove it, and the sessions attached to it, within 30 days. Server access logs rotate on the ordinary system schedule.

6. Who else sees it

PartyWhyWhat they get
GoogleSign-in, if you use itWhat Google already knows — that you signed in to this app
HostingerHosts the serverInfrastructure provider; no application-level access
Let's EncryptTLS certificateThe domain name only

There are no other processors, and no transfers for any other purpose.

7. Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted, and withdraw consent by revoking Cadre's access in your Google account permissions. Write to pkalambi@gmail.com and we will answer within 30 days.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act sets out obligations that are being phased in. We aim to meet them; where this policy is less than the Act eventually requires, the Act governs.

8. Children

Cadre is a workplace tool. It is not intended for anyone under 18.

9. Security, stated honestly

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Sessions are hashed at rest. Access between organisations is isolated at the data layer and that isolation is tested in continuous integration.

⚠️ The demonstration instance has no sign-in gate — anyone with the link can view it. That is deliberate, because everything in it is fictional. Do not enter real personal data into it. If you do, delete it or ask us to.

10. Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top and, where we hold an address for you, tell you.

This policy is written to describe the service accurately. It is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. If Cadre is ever used with real employee data, it needs review before that happens. Terms of Service · Home
