1Point3Acres, LLC

1point3acres.com is a highly influential Chinese-language online community and forum primarily for Chinese students and professionals in North America. The platform serves as a hub for users to share and discuss topics related to studying abroad, job hunting, career development, and immigration, with a strong focus on the tech industry. Users voluntarily post a wealth of detailed personal and professional information, including real interview questions from top tech companies, salary data, university admission statistics, and visa experiences. While not a traditional data broker that sells compiled profiles, the site aggregates vast amounts of user-generated personal data within profiles and forum posts. This public sharing of sensitive career and personal information can create significant privacy risks, as malicious actors could aggregate this data for doxxing, harassment, or to gain an unfair advantage in professional settings. To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the level of identifiable detail they share on their profiles and in public discussions, and regularly review their privacy settings on the platform.
