1. Information We Collect

Formulate collects minimal personal information to provide our job board service:

  • Job Alert Subscriptions: When you sign up for job alerts, we collect your email address and filter preferences (therapeutic areas, departments, locations).
  • Usage Data: We use cookie-free analytics (Vercel Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. No personal data is collected through analytics.
  • Server Logs: Standard web server logs may temporarily record IP addresses and request data for security and performance purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To send job alert emails matching your selected criteria
  • To improve site performance and user experience
  • To detect and prevent abuse or security threats

3. Data Sources

Job listings on Formulate are aggregated from publicly available sources including company career pages and applicant tracking system (ATS) public APIs. We do not collect or store job applicant data. When you click "Apply," you are redirected to the company's own application page.

Formulate uses only essential cookies for theme preferences (light/dark mode). We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

5. Third-Party Services

  • Neon: Database hosting (PostgreSQL)
  • Resend: Email delivery for job alerts

6. Data Retention

You have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe from job alerts at any time
  • Request deletion of your email address from our system
