Who we are
99Kaam is run by RBN. This notice explains what personal data 99Kaam collects, why, who sees it and how long it is kept, as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act requires.
99Kaam is one of several RBN businesses. Two things are run centrally for all of them by RBN99: signing in with a 99 ID, and the SMS that carries your one-time code. Where that matters for your data, this notice says so.
What we collect
Your mobile number, to sign you in.
What you tell us about yourself: your name, city, skills, experience, expected pay and when you can start. If you speak instead of typing, the recording is turned into text and the text is kept; the recording is not.
If you post jobs: your business name, type and city, and the jobs you post.
If you ask to be verified: the document you upload. Only RBN staff can open it, and every time they do, it is recorded.
If you sign in with your 99 ID, RBN99 tells us your 99 ID and your name, and your mobile number when you allow it.
If somebody in the RBN network adds you — a channel partner, a business you work for, or our own staff — we hold what they entered about you and who they are, until you take the profile over or ask us to remove it.
What we use it for
To match workers with jobs and employers with workers; to let an employer contact a worker they have shortlisted; to verify identities and businesses; to keep the platform safe; and to send you the SMS messages needed to sign in.
To recognise you as one person across RBN businesses when you choose to sign in with your 99 ID, and to tell RBN99 what work a channel partner did here, which is how their points are counted.
Who sees it
While you are looking for work, employers can see your name and profile. Your phone number is shown to an employer only after they shortlist you, and each time it is shown is recorded.
When a profile says it was verified, it also says who verified it — our staff, a channel partner, or a business elsewhere in the RBN network. That name is shown to anybody who can see the profile.
RBN99 receives: that you have an account here, what a channel partner did here, and who verified whom. It does not receive your profile, your applications or your documents.
The SMS with your code goes through RBN99's messaging provider. If AI drafting is on, what you type or say is sent to our AI provider to turn it into profile or job fields. If the sign-in screen is protecting itself against automated abuse, Cloudflare checks that you are a person. Data is stored with our hosting providers. Nobody else receives your data, and it is never sold.
Signing in with your 99 ID
If you sign in with your 99 ID, RBN99 shows you what 99Kaam will be given before anything is shared, and nothing is shared until you agree.
You can end it at any time from RBN99's panel, under More → Your portals. Your 99Kaam account is not touched: only that way of signing in closes, and you can keep using your number and PIN.
When somebody adds you
Somebody in the RBN network may create a profile for you — a channel partner, a business you work for, or our own staff. Until you sign in with your own number, that profile says who added you and that it has not been claimed yet.
Signing in with your number makes it yours: the same profile, now under your control, and you can change or delete anything in it.
Being added is not agreeing to be contacted. Employers reach you under the same rules as anybody else, and "Not looking" hides you at once.
If you never wanted that profile, write to the grievance officer below and we will remove it.
Who verified you
A verified mark on 99Kaam always names whoever stands behind it, and there are three kinds: our own staff, who looked at a document; a channel partner; or a business in the RBN network vouching for its own people.
We rely on what they say. Whoever vouched can withdraw it, and we record when they did. A vouch that turns out to be false is reported to RBN99, because the network keeps its own record of who vouches for whom.
How long we keep it
Your profile stays until you delete your account. Job posts expire after 30 days unless renewed. Verification documents are kept only as long as needed to verify you. Records of applications and of who saw what are kept, without your contact details, because other people's records depend on them.
Who added a profile, who verified it and when that changed are kept as a record even after a profile is deleted, without your contact details, because the question "whose word was this" has to stay answerable.
Your rights
You can see the data we hold about you, correct it, ask us to delete your account, and withdraw your consent at any time. Choosing "Not looking" hides you from employers immediately. Write to the grievance officer below and we will answer within the period the law allows.
This includes a profile somebody else created about you, whether or not you have claimed it.
Age
99Kaam is for people aged 18 and over. Do not use it if you are younger.
Grievance officer
Name, email and postal address of RBN's grievance officer, and the time within which complaints are answered.
Changes to this notice
When this notice changes we will ask you to agree to the new version the next time you sign in. The version you agreed to is recorded.
