6. Information Sharing

We only share the Information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:

Third Party Agents. We share information, including Identity Information, with entities that process information on our behalf for our business purposes. Third Party Agents assist us with services such as payment processing, data analytics, marketing and advertising, website hosting, fraud prevention and detection, communication services, and technical support. We contractually prohibit our Third Party Agents from retaining, using, or disclosing information about you for any purposes other than performing the services for us, although we may permit them to use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law.

  • Email origination;
  • Identity checks
  • Fraud detection
  • Receipt, invoice, or support services;
  • Customer relationship management services;
  • Financial transaction fulfillment and related chargeback and collection services; and
  • To otherwise help us provide the Taskerz Platform.

Partners. Some Taskerz content is “sponsored by” or “presented by” other companies. If you connect to the Taskerz Platform through a co-branded version of our Taskerz Platform or otherwise participate in one of our partner programs, we may share information about your use of the Taskerz Platform with that Partner in order to offer the integrated platform and to evaluate the partner program. We may also share your information with our partners in order to receive additional information about you, or in order to create offers that may be of interest to you. Please check such Partner’s privacy policy before revealing information about yourself. If you don’t want these Partners to have your Personal Information, you can choose to not participate.

Promotions. When you voluntarily enter a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion, we share information as set out in the official rules that govern the promotion as well as for administrative purposes and as required by law (e.g., on a winners’ list). By entering a promotion, you agree to the official rules that govern that promotion, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other entities to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials. We may occasionally contact you, if you want us to, with information about special events, activities, promotions, contacts, submission opportunities, and programs. You always have the ability, in your Account, to ask Taskerz not to contact you with this type of information. Please see the Your Rights and Choices section for more information.

Other Users. Taskerz facilitates contact between Clients and Taskers and reserves the right to share a Tasker’s contact information (e.g. name, phone number, email, or postal address) with a Client and vice versa, or with their legal or another representative, in order to facilitate: (1) the resolution of a dispute related to or arising from an interaction between two or more Users of the Taskerz Platform; or (2) the performance of a task. This exchange of information is a mandatory part of the Taskerz Platform.

Legal Obligations. Taskerz and our Third Party Agents may disclose information or User Generated Content, including location data or communication data, to a third party if required or permitted to do so by law or pursuant to a court order, warrant or subpoena. Taskerz reserves the right to disclose Personal Information from both private and public areas of the Site(s) and the Taskerz Platform in the absence of a court order, warrant or subpoena, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interfering with the rights of Users, the general public, or Taskerz or its partners, parents or affiliates.

It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to law enforcement requests unless (i) we are prohibited or otherwise constrained by law or court order from doing so, (ii) we have reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we may provide notice after the fact).

Merger or Acquisition. Taskerz reserves the right to share information in connect with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another business.

Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit.

For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.

8. taskerz’s Information Retention Policy

We retain personal data for as long as you are a User in order to meet our contractual obligations to you, and for such longer period as may be in our legitimate interests and to comply with our legal obligations. We may also retain data from which you cannot directly be identified, for example where stored against a randomly-generated identifier so we know the data relates to a single User, but we cannot tell who that User is. We use this kind of data for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services, and we take appropriate measures to ensure you cannot be re-identified from this data.

9. taskerz’s Security of Collected Information

Your Taskerz account is password-protected so that only authorized Taskerz staff have access to your account information.

Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.

10. Notification of Changes

taskerz’s Privacy Policy is periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. This Privacy Policy might change as Taskerz updates and expands the Taskerz Platform.

Interest-Based Advertising

Things like cookies and pixels are used to deliver relevant ads, track ad campaign performance and efficiency, and to understand your interests from your online activity on the Site, mobile applications and other websites and apps. For example, we and our ad partners may rely on information gleaned through these cookies to serve you ads that may be interesting to you on other websites and in doing that your information (which will not contain your name, email address or other “real-world” identifiers) will be shared with other platforms in the digital advertising ecosystem all involved in assisting the delivery, purchase, reporting and analysis of digital advertising. Similarly, our advertisers may use a cookie, attribution service or another similar technology to determine whether we’ve served an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with them.

Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes, including analytics, and you may still see ads from us, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioral information about you and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.

You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. To successfully opt-out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser. Please see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them. Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each device that you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you may need to opt-out again.

For more information about targeting and advertising cookies and how you can opt out, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out pages in the United States, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/ in Canada, or http://youronlinechoices.eu in the EU
