Your Radar belongs to you.

Early Career Radar is an independent project operated by Yu Huang. It helps students discover internships and new-grad roles, open the original employer listing, and organize their own search.

Depending on how you use the service, Radar may collect:

• Account information: a verified email address, internal authentication identifier, and basic Google profile information when you choose Google sign-in.
• Your job-search activity: saved, applied, and hidden roles; private notes; recruiter details; and application timeline entries.
• Alert information: role, location, student-stage, frequency, consent, delivery, click, bounce, and unsubscribe records.
• Messages you send: feedback, reports, contact details you choose to provide, and related page links.
• Usage and security information: a private browser identifier, landing page, campaign or referring site, browser and device information, timestamps, and limited network information used for analytics, rate limiting, fraud prevention, and reliability.

Connecting an account is optional. Without one, personal job activity stays associated with a private cookie in that browser. After you connect, it follows the verified account across devices.

Radar offers Google sign-in alongside one-time email codes. It requests only your email address and basic profile. Radar cannot read your Gmail, contacts, calendar, Drive files, or other Google content.

Google returns a signed identity token containing information such as your email, name, profile image when available, and whether the address is verified. Neon verifies that token for Radar. Short-lived sign-in tokens may be held with the account record and Radar removes them once they expire. Radar does not request a refresh token that would let it reach your Google account when you are not present.

Signing in with an address that already has a Radar account connects to that account rather than creating another one. Signing in does not enable alerts. Radar’s use of information received from Google follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Radar uses first-party cookies for the private browser identifier, authentication, security, and cross-domain migration from the old Radar address. Browser storage also remembers interface choices such as dismissed prompts. Blocking these may prevent saved roles or sign-in from working correctly.

Radar records one first-party activity summary per browser or account per Pacific calendar day rather than storing its own raw page-view stream. Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics also measure site use. Those providers may receive page, device, browser, network, and interaction information and may use cookies or similar identifiers according to their own policies. Radar does not use this information to serve targeted advertising.

Radar uses information to:

• provide, synchronize, and secure your Radar;
• send alerts and sign-in codes you request;
• honor unsubscribe choices and prevent duplicate messages;
• understand aggregate acquisition, engagement, and retention;
• investigate abuse, diagnose failures, and improve the service; and
• respond to feedback, listing reports, and privacy requests.

Radar uses Neon for authentication and database services, Resend for email delivery, Vercel for hosting and analytics, and Google for optional sign-in and analytics. They receive only the information needed to perform their services and may process it in the United States or other countries.

Radar does not sell personal information, rent mailing lists, or disclose private applications, notes, or recruiter details to employers. Information may be disclosed when required by law, to protect the service or its users.

Business transfers: If Radar is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of its assets, personal information—including account data and private job-search activity—may be disclosed as necessary during due diligence and transferred as part of that transaction. Radar will seek appropriate confidentiality and security protections. A recipient or successor may use the information only in accordance with this policy and the privacy promises in effect when it was collected. A materially different use requires notice and consent where required by law.

Signing in does not subscribe you. Alerts begin only after you choose a board and save your choices. Every marketing or role-alert email includes an unsubscribe link. You can turn alerts off while keeping your account, although Radar may still send transactional messages you request, such as a one-time sign-in code.

Radar keeps account and job-search data while needed to provide the service or until a verified deletion request is completed. Consent, unsubscribe, delivery, security, and backup records may remain for a reasonable period when needed to honor choices, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Signing out does not delete account data.

Radar uses restricted ownership identifiers, encrypted transport, protected authentication cookies, rate limits, and access controls. No internet service can promise perfect security, so avoid placing highly sensitive information in application notes.

You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of your Radar information. Return to the homepage, open Contactor the board’s Feedback form, choose Privacy or account data when available, and include the email on your account. Radar will verify ownership before acting.

You may also unsubscribe from alerts, sign out, clear browser storage, control Google Analytics through browser privacy tools, and manage Google account permissions in your Google Account. Radar will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request. Some requests may be limited where retention is required for security or law.

Radar is intended for internship and early-career job seekers and is not directed to children under 13. If Radar learns that it collected personal information from a child under 13, it will take reasonable steps to delete it. If you use Radar outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

This policy may change as Radar adds features or its practices change. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date and, when appropriate, an additional notice. Questions and privacy requests can be sent through Contact on the homepage or Feedback on either board.
