On our Platform, you may fill out forms, order services, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected on these pages are name, address, email, phone, and billing information. To tailor our future communications with you and continue to improve our services, we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our services, and contact preferences.
From Clients: First and last name, company name, company roles and department specifics, contact information (phone number, street address, city, state, postal code, country and email address), project description, as well as payment and invoice related information.
From Contractors: First and last name, contact information (phone number, street address, city, state, postal code, country and email address), resume, your skills, the type of work you are interested in, and payment information (so we can pay you). Some companies have strict security measures and require background checks prior to working on their project. This would require additional information, including your date of birth, being collected.
How We Use The Information
We gather and use this information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate with you, update you, and personalize our Website for you.

We never use or share the personal information you provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or prohibit unrelated use of your information. We will not sell your personal information with any other third parties or sell your email address or any other contact information to any third parties for any purpose.
We may contact you through email, phone, or through notices posted on our Website or Platform. We may send you calendar invites to facilitate interviews with prospective Clients and messages about the projects available.

All of our services, including any payment information, are communicated across the internet using secure connections. Despite our efforts to keep your PII Data protected, we cannot guarantee the security of data traveling over the internet, especially via email.
