For example, If your corp is in JSpace can an ESI check reveal how many BPO’s are being researched or when fuel runs out. What are the risks? ---

You can use a service such as esiknife or evemon to see what information is exposed. ---

It depends on the privileges they get when they request it and you approve it. If this is for recruitment, they shouldn’t be asking for corp privileges. That’s just dodgy. ---

I mean if it’s a personal corp then it’s pretty much an extension of personal assets I would almost expect to need to give out my corp key to join a corp. That said if it’s a player corp then yea that’s a bit much and probably something they shouldn’t ask for. ---
