Forsa Connect ("Company," "we," "us," "our") operates a talent discovery platform at forsaconnect.com (the "Platform") that connects professionals ("Talent") with companies and recruiters ("Employers") through a curated directory called the People Board and a traditional job board.
This Privacy Policy explains:
By submitting a profile, creating an account, purchasing a product, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Platform.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the Platform and define key terms used throughout.
We collect different categories of data depending on how you use the Platform.
When you submit a profile to be listed on the People Board, we collect:
Public profile data (displayed to all visitors of the People Board):
Private contact data (disclosed only to Employers who complete a paid Profile Unlock for your specific profile):
Submission processing data (used internally only):
When you access the Platform as an Employer or register for an account, we collect:
When a job seeker applies to a job posted on the Platform, we collect:
When anyone visits the Platform, we automatically collect:
We use personal data only for the purposes described below:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Displaying Talent profiles on the People Board | Public profile data (Section 2.1) |
| Disclosing contact details to Employers who unlock a profile | Private contact data (Section 2.1) — unlock-gated |
| Processing job applications and connecting applicants with Employers | Applicant data (Section 2.3) |
| Operating the job board and employer job listing features | Employer data (Section 2.2) |
| Reviewing profile submissions before publication | All profile submission data |
| AI-assisted resume analysis and profile generation | Resume file and submission data |
| Processing payments for Unlock Packs and job post fees | Billing data via Stripe |
| Sending transactional emails (application confirmations, profile status updates) | Email address |
| Sending marketing communications (platform updates, newsletters) | Email address — opt-out available |
| Preventing fraud, spam, and abuse | Usage data, submission data |
| Improving Platform functionality and user experience | Usage and technical data (aggregated where possible) |
| Complying with legal obligations | As required by law |
We do not use your personal data for advertising purposes. We do not display advertising on the Platform, and we do not share your data with advertisers.
This is the most important disclosure rule for Talent to understand:
Your public profile data (as listed in Section 2.1) is visible to anyone who visits the People Board, including non-registered visitors.
Your private contact data — including your full name, email address, phone number, and resume — is only disclosed to an Employer who has purchased and applied a Profile Unlock to your specific profile. It is not disclosed to any Employer who has not unlocked your profile, and it is not shared broadly with the Employer user base.
Once an Employer has unlocked your profile:
We retain a record of which Employers have unlocked which profiles for operational and legal purposes.
When an Employer posts a job or contacts a Talent through the Platform, their company name and the role or opportunity they represent may be visible to Talent users. We do not share Employer billing information with Talent.
When you submit a resume to the Platform, your resume file may be sent to a third-party artificial intelligence service (currently OpenAI) for the purpose of extracting and structuring your professional information into profile fields. This processing happens at the time of your submission.
OpenAI's use of data submitted through the API is governed by its own privacy policy and data usage policies, which you can review at openai.com. As of the time of this writing, OpenAI does not use API-submitted data for model training by default.
We use AI services solely to improve the quality and accuracy of profile data. The AI-generated output is reviewed by a Forsa Connect team member during the profile review process before your profile is published.
Payments for Unlock Packs, job posting fees, and any other paid services are processed by Stripe, Inc. Forsa Connect does not collect, store, or have access to your full credit card or bank account details. Stripe's collection and use of your payment data is governed by Stripe's own Privacy Policy, available at stripe.com.
We retain records of transactions (amount, date, product purchased, associated account) for accounting and dispute resolution purposes.
We use third-party service providers to help operate the Platform, including hosting (Replit), email delivery, and analytics tools. These providers access personal data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose personal data to government authorities, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies when required by law, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Forsa Connect, our users, or the public.
If Forsa Connect is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business transaction, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify users via a notice on the Platform or by email before data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
To be explicit:
All Talent profiles submitted to the People Board are reviewed by a Forsa Connect team member before publication. This review involves reading your submitted profile data in order to assess whether it meets our editorial standards.
During moderation, we may:
Data from declined or removed profiles is retained in our systems for a limited period for fraud prevention and legal compliance purposes (see Section 6).
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to operate the Platform, and to comply with our legal obligations.
If you request deletion of your data (see Section 8), we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable time, subject to retention requirements for legal compliance, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform. Types of cookies we use:
