Opportunity Radar

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Opportunity Radar collects, why we use it, and the choices you have.

Effective August 4, 2026

Scope

This policy applies to the Future State Careers Opportunity Radar website, public opportunity browsing and market intelligence, optional candidate accounts, saved or tracked opportunities, job alerts, and the optional FSC Job Market Brief. It also applies when you choose the account-free “Keep me in mind” talent-network submission. It does not govern an employer's website after you follow a link away from Opportunity Radar.

You can browse the public opportunity inventory without creating an account. An account is required only when you choose member features such as saving or tracking opportunities, creating alerts, or managing email preferences.

Information we collect

  • If you create an account: your first name, last name, email address, account identifier, and sign-in events.
  • Information you choose to provide when you contact FSC for candidate support.
  • If you ask FSC to keep you in mind: your name, email address, optional mobile number, current or recent title, practice area, target roles, preferred location, work arrangement, optional base-salary floor, résumé, and the consent record associated with that submission.
  • Your saved and archived opportunities, application labels, search-alert criteria, alert frequency, and email preferences.
  • Records of when you accept these terms or change newsletter and alert consent.
  • Basic technical and security information, such as IP address, browser or device details, page and referral activity, request timestamps, and abuse-detection events.
  • When you follow an employer's official-posting link: the opportunity, employer, practice area, time, and page location of that click. We use a one-way hash of a random browser identifier for aggregate reporting; the click record does not store your raw IP address.
  • First-party product-usage events, such as opening the opportunity catalog, using a filter, receiving no results, returning to the site, or opening an account or alert prompt. These records use one-way hashes of random browser and session identifiers. They do not contain raw search words, full referral URLs, raw IP addresses, or complete browser-identification strings.
  • Email delivery events, including sent, delivered, bounced, complained, and suppressed status.

If you separately choose “Include my recent Opportunity Radar employer-site opens,” we associate up to 30 days of those click events with your talent-network submission. We do not treat a listing appearing on screen as proof that you viewed or wanted it, and we do not attach this activity unless you opt in.

How we use information

We use this information to:

  • provide public opportunity browsing and candidate-safe market intelligence;
  • create and secure an account when you choose member features;
  • save, track, and organize opportunities according to your choices;
  • tell you when an opportunity on your active saved list is no longer present in FSC's latest verified inventory;
  • respond when you ask FSC for candidate or job-search support;
  • verify, privately store, parse, and create searchable résumé evidence for a talent-network submission;
  • compare the background and preferences you provide with recruiting opportunities handled by FSC;
  • send alerts you request and the Job Market Brief when you separately opt in;
  • honor unsubscribes, suppress failed addresses, and maintain consent records;
  • measure which opportunities, market areas, and site features candidates find useful and where the browsing experience needs improvement;
  • prevent abuse, investigate security events, and improve service reliability; and
  • comply with law and protect the rights and safety of users, FSC, and others.

Creating an account does not by itself add you to the Job Market Brief. The newsletter choice requires separate, optional consent and can be changed later. Declining the newsletter does not limit public browsing or member features. Service messages, such as a secure sign-in link or a saved-listing status update, may still be necessary to operate your account.

When information is shared

We use service providers to operate Opportunity Radar, including Supabase for authentication and data storage, Vercel for website hosting, RB2B for website analytics and visitor identification, and an email-delivery provider for requested messages. They process information for us under their applicable agreements.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate fraud or abuse, protect safety and rights, or complete a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not sell Opportunity Radar account information.

Retention and security

We keep account and preference information while your account is active and as reasonably needed to provide the service, document consent, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Suppression records may be kept to ensure we do not resume sending to an address that bounced, complained, or was manually suppressed. Archiving a saved opportunity keeps it in your private account until you restore or remove it; archived opportunities do not receive saved-listing closure notices.

Unverified talent-network submissions expire after 24 hours. Verified candidate information and résumé evidence may be kept for up to 12 months after consent, renewed when you update your information or give fresh consent, and retained longer only when reasonably necessary for an active recruiting relationship, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or your request. Résumés are kept in private storage within FSC's recruiting system, not in the public Opportunity Radar catalog.

We use administrative and technical safeguards designed for the information we hold. No internet service can promise absolute security, so protect access to your email account and tell us if you believe your account is being misused.

Your choices

  • Browse public opportunities and public market context without creating an account.
  • Change newsletter and job-alert preferences from your account controls.
  • Use an unsubscribe link in an eligible marketing or alert email.
  • Ask to access, correct, or delete account information, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Ask FSC to update or delete a talent-network submission or withdraw permission to contact you.
  • Control browser storage using your browser settings, which may affect sign-in and reset the random identifier used for aggregate click reporting.

Children, external sites, and changes

Opportunity Radar is a professional career service and is not directed to children under 16. Employer and other third-party sites have their own terms and privacy practices, which you should review before sharing information.

We may update this policy as the service changes. We will post the revised effective date and provide additional notice when a change materially affects how account information is used.
