Short answer

Log in to Naukri → set your profile visibility to private and remove your uploaded resume so recruiters can't search you. To delete entirely, use delete account in settings, or email a Section 12 (DPDP Act 2023) erasure request for full removal of your data.

Your Naukri profile holds your resume, phone, email, salary and full work history — and recruiters (and scrapers) can pull it. Here's how to lock it down or remove it.

Step-by-step

1

Make your profile private

In Settings → Profile visibility, set it to private so your profile isn't searchable by recruiters. Remove or replace your uploaded resume.

2

Delete your account

Use the delete account option in settings to remove your profile from Naukri entirely.

3

Send a DPDP erasure request

For full erasure, email Naukri's grievance/privacy contact citing your Section 12 right to erasure (DPDP Act 2023), list the data, and request written confirmation.

FAQ

How do I remove my resume from Naukri?

Set your profile to private and remove the uploaded resume, or delete your account / send a Section 12 erasure request for full removal.

Will deleting Naukri stop recruiter spam?

It stops new access via Naukri, but recruiters who already downloaded your details may still have them — which is why a formal erasure request and broader removal helps.
