Privacy

Privacy, in plain language.

futile.in is designed to be browseable without an account. The current product keeps data collection light and local where possible.

What stays in your browser

Helpful-vote choices are stored in your browser using localStorage.

Share and copy buttons use your browser's built-in share or clipboard features.

The Suggest a resource dialog currently prepares text for you to copy or share; it does not submit that suggestion to the site server.

What may involve the server

If admin or authenticated areas are used, the server may set a session cookie to keep that session active.

Some backend routes are built for submissions such as resume audits or job postings. If those flows are made public on the site, this policy should be updated alongside them.

The feedback page currently points to an external Google Form or your email app, so those submissions do not pass through the futile.in site server unless this setup changes later.

Analytics and third parties

futile.in uses Google Analytics 4 to understand high-level usage such as page views, traffic sources, and on-site engagement. It is used to improve the guides and site experience, not for ad personalization.

Many guide links go to external websites like YouTube, official docs, books, or job boards. Once you leave futile.in, those sites follow their own privacy practices.

Google may set its own cookies or similar identifiers for analytics measurement depending on your browser and consent settings. If a consent banner is added later, this page should be updated alongside it.

Policy updates

If the site starts collecting form submissions, payments, uploaded files, or broader account data, this page should be updated before those features are promoted publicly.

Until then, the main rule is simple: keep browsing open, keep data collection minimal, and avoid surprise tracking.
