How Freelance Radar collects, uses and protects personal data, and how you can exercise your rights. This policy covers visitors and users of the service as well as the people (recruiters) whose post is listed.
Freelance Radar is operated by a company established in France: our processing is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”), which applies to all users, including users in India. We also handle the personal data of people in India in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act) and its rules, which are being brought into force in phases. Section 7 sets out what this means for you.
The data controller is FLIPPER, a SAS registered with the Trade and Companies Register (RCS) under number 945084903, publisher of the “Freelance Radar” service.
Contact for any question about personal data or to exercise your rights: contact [at] freelanceradar.co.
Freelance Radar detects and aggregates freelance job posts published publicly on professional platforms and networks. For this purpose we collect: the name of the author of the post, the link to their profile and to the original post, the content of the post and the information extracted from it (job title, organisation, requirement, location, rate).
Purpose: to run an aggregator that helps freelancers find freelance jobs.
Legal basis: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): making professional B2B introductions easier, based on data that the people concerned have themselves made public in a strictly professional context. No sensitive information is collected.
Display to visitors without an account: only the first name of the author, their public profile photo, and the title, description and location of the freelance job are shown. A short excerpt from the beginning of the original post may also be shown, after the name of the author and of the company have been automatically masked. The link to the post and the full identity of the author are shown to users with a free account.
The email and phone number search was removed from the interface on 24 September 2026, then permanently removed from the service on 17 October 2026: no contact details are collected, enriched or displayed anymore. The information below describes the data previously obtained through this feature; the retention periods and the rights of the people concerned still apply until that data is deleted.
At any time, and without giving a reason, you can ask to be removed and for your contact details to no longer be displayed: write to contact [at] freelanceradar.co with the link to your profile or your post. You will then be added to a suppression list and your data will no longer be processed (see section 6).
Creating an account and logging in are done with a magic link or a one time code sent by email. We process your email address, your account creation date, as well as your saved searches and saved freelance jobs.
Purpose: to provide the service and manage your account.
Legal basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Under the DPDP Act, we rely on the consent you give when you create your account, which you can withdraw at any time.
When a user creates an alert, we collect their email address and the keywords or filters they follow. When you sign up from a freelance job page, an alert for the same occupation and country as that job is created automatically; you are told about it when you enter your email address and you can turn it off at any time.
Purpose: to send new matching freelance jobs by email.
Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), obtained either through double opt in (confirmation by email) or, when you sign up, through an explicit notice shown when you enter your email address and confirmed with the code sent to you by email. Every alert email identifies Freelance Radar as the sender and contains a working unsubscribe link; unsubscribe requests take effect straight away.
The website uses audience measurement and visit attribution tools (where visits come from, pages viewed) and a support chat. We do not use these tools to profile you for advertising.
Purposes: to understand where visitors come from and how the website is used, and to answer users' questions.
Legal basis: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for audience measurement and for support.

To make a request or a complaint about how we handle your personal data, write to contact [at] freelanceradar.co, which also reaches the person responsible for data protection and complaints at Freelance Radar. We will acknowledge it and aim to answer within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India once its complaint procedure is in force. The rules of the DPDP Act are being brought into force in phases, and we will update this policy as they take effect.
The website uses your browser’s local storage for functional purposes (remembering your session, your alerts and the page you arrived on). It also uses the tools described in section 2.E, which may set cookies or identifiers: audience measurement and visit attribution, and the support chat. You can object at any time by writing to contact [at] freelanceradar.co or block these trackers in your browser.
Access to the database is restricted: the public interface only exposes what is strictly necessary; the full text of posts is never sent to visitors without an account, only a masked excerpt; the contact details search has been removed from the service. Sensitive access keys are never exposed in the browser.
