JindalAlign is a workplace application for employees and authorised contractors of Jindal Steel and Affiliates. It is not a consumer product. The app is built and operated by PBOPlus Consulting Private Limited (“PBOPlus”, “we”) on behalf of the employer.
01What we collect
Only what the app needs to sign you in, carry your conversations and answer your questions.
| Category | Exactly what | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Identity & contact | Name, work email, mobile number, employee ID, department, designation | Your employer’s existing OSIF / ODIF records — you don’t create an account in the app |
| Messages | Text of messages you exchange with colleagues | You, when you send them |
| Attachments | Photos, videos, voice notes and documents you choose to send | You, one item at a time |
| Questions to AERIAL | What you ask the in-app AI assistant, and its answers | You, when you ask |
| Device identifier | A push-notification token, and whether the device runs Android or iOS | The app, so notifications reach your phone |
02What we don’t collect
- Your location — precise or approximate.
- Your phone’s contacts, call history, SMS, calendar, or other apps.
- Payment or financial information. There are no purchases of any kind.
- Health or fitness data, advertising IDs, or browsing history.
- Crash reports or usage analytics — the app contains no analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
03Device permissions
Each is requested only at the moment you use the feature that needs it, and can be refused without affecting anything else.
Notifications and Face ID / fingerprint unlock are optional and can be switched off in your device settings.
04Why we use it
- Signing in — your email, password or a one-time code sent to the mobile number on your record confirms it’s you.
- Running the app — messages and attachments are stored so conversations persist across devices and reach the people you send them to.
- Answering questions — AERIAL processes your question to produce an answer, and keeps the thread so you can return to it.
- Notifications — the push token delivers new-message alerts to your device.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or automated decisions about you, and we never sell it.
06Storage & retention
Application data is held on servers operated for your employer. Messages and attachments are kept for as long as the conversation exists, or until deleted. One-time sign-in codes expire after five minutes and are erased once used.
Media you open is also cached on your own phone so it reopens instantly. Signing out, or clearing the app’s storage, removes that cache.
07Security
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. Access to stored data is restricted to authorised administrators. Sign-in codes are stored only as salted hashes and are destroyed after five wrong attempts.
08Your choices & deletion
- Delete individual messages you have sent, from inside the app.
- Turn notifications off, or refuse camera, microphone and photo access — only the matching feature stops working.
- Request a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your data by emailing support@pboplus.com. We reply within 30 days.
Because this is a workplace system, some records may have to be kept where your employer has a legal or business obligation to retain them. We’ll tell you if that applies to your request.
09Children
JindalAlign is for adults in employment. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
10Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we’ll update the date at the top of this page and let users know inside the app.
