Data Sharing and Recipients

We may share your information with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service Providers: Cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, and technical support providers who assist in operating our platform.

International Data Transfers

Our Services are hosted in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required by applicable law. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.

Our Use of AI

As part of our Services, we utilize artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related technologies ("AI Tools") to enhance the platform experience. Our AI Tools support capabilities including:

  • Expert-to-project matching and skill assessment
  • Quality assurance and anomaly detection in submitted work
  • Resume parsing and skills extraction

All personal information processed through our AI Tools is managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We apply strict security measures to protect your data and ensure compliance with relevant AI and privacy laws. If you wish to opt out of AI-powered processing of your personal data, please contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services and comply with legal obligations. Specific retention periods vary by data type:

  • Account Data: Retained for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable period after account closure for legal and business purposes.
  • Expert Work Product: Retained as required by Client agreements and applicable law.
  • Payment Records: Retained for the period required by tax and financial regulations (typically 7 years).
  • Analytics Data: Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and employee training on data protection practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or sell personal data of individuals under 18. Our Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. By using our Services, you confirm you are at least 18 years old. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a user under 18, we will deactivate the account and delete the data as soon as reasonably possible.
