Indeed (Recruit Holdings)

What this pass recorded. A job search platform holds a uniquely damaging combination: your full employment history, your salary expectations, your current employer, and the fact that you are looking - which is the one item that can cost you the job you currently have. Résumé databases are also routinely licensed to recruiters and employers, so the visibility settings are doing far more work than most users realise. Nothing company-specific confirmed this pass. The finding is that the sensitivity here is not medical or financial but relational, and no privacy framework in the US treats 'my employer learning I am looking' as a protected harm even though it is the concrete risk.

Data sharing

As the dominant US job-search platform, Indeed collects resumes, employment history, salary expectations, and job-search activity that can reveal financial distress, career transitions, or even (through job-category searches) health/disability-adjacent needs (e.g., searching for accommodations-related positions). No specific named lawsuit or breach independently confirmed this pass.

Contacts

Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
