• Talking to Each Other: We might use phone numbers so you can talk to the person posting the task.
• Keeping Things Safe: We might use your Personal Information to stop bad stuff like fraud and to verify who you are.
• Following the Law: We might have to share your information if a court or the government tells us to.

‍Geo-Location Information
‍We only use your location if you (and your parent for Kids) say it's okay. You can turn this off in your phone's settings.

‍Artificial IntelligenceWe may process your information through artificial intelligence to match you with the best opportunities and to create efficiencies. We will only use information you have provided or have consented for us to use. You will always be able to find tasks manually.

‍Sharing Your Information
• For Tasks: We might share some of your Personal Information (like your first name and where you generally live using only the details you permit or sharing) with the person posting the task. We only share your address if it’s needed for the task and you agree.
• Other Companies: We might use other companies to help us store data and verify your identity. They are obligated to comply with applicable laws and only use it as we have instructed. They have to keep your information safe, too.
• With Parents: Information about a Minor is shared with Parents. For example, a Minor and a Parent  will be able to see the account activity of the Minor, and the Parent as authorized approver may be able to see certain information about a Minor, such as a Minor’s name, tasks, task history groups, and accounts. If there are signed up safety features, one may be able to share and see alerts and location or other emergency contacts.

‍Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (For Kids Under 13)
‍We are committed to following COPPA. If you are under 13, your parent or guardian must give us permission before you can create an account and use our app. We will get verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing any personal information from children under 13. Parents can review their child’s information, ask to have it deleted, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information. If you are a parent¹ and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately.

• Right to Know: You have the right to know what personal information we collect about you, how we use it, and who we share it with.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information.
• Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: While we do not "sell" your personal information in the traditional sense (exchanging it for money), we do share data with third parties for purposes of targeted advertising, which under California law can be considered a "sale" or "sharing." You have the right to opt-out of this sharing.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You have the right to limit our use of your sensitive personal information, such as precise geolocation.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

How Long We Keep Your Information
‍We keep most of your information as long as you have an account and then for 3 years after you terminate your account. We keep personally identifiable chat data for 36 months and then de-identify it. We might keep any information longer if the law says we have to.
Keeping Your Information Safe
‍We try our best to keep your information safe, but no online system is perfect which is why we also limit the data we collect to that information we need to provide you the benefits of the app and permit you to change your data, delete your data, etc. at all times.

‍For users in Australia
‍To the extent applicable, we are committed to the protection of your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). If software or services are provided for use in Australia,  specific terms set out in this Policy may apply (see below).

‍Australia-specific terms
‍This section applies to anyone to the extent the Privacy Act applies to personal information.
We will use reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we hold is complete, up-to-date, and accurate, so far as it is practicable for us to do so.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details set out below.
Subject to the paragraph below, if personal information we hold about you is incorrect, we will, on your request to correct it or where we are satisfied that the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the information is corrected.
If you request us to correct personal information that we hold about you and we refuse to do so, we will, to the extent reasonable, provide you with a written response as to our reasons. Please note that the Australian Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has provided guidance on “Children and Young People”, which states:

“The Privacy Act 1988 protects an individual’s personal information regardless of their age. It doesn’t specify an age after which an individual can make their own privacy decision. For their consent to be valid, an individual must have capacity to consent.An organisation or agency handling the personal information of an individual under the age of 18 must decide if the individual has the capacity to consent on a case-by-case basis. As a general rule, an individual under the age of 18 has the capacity to consent if they have the maturity to understand what’s being proposed. If they lack maturity it may be appropriate for a parent or guardian to consent on their behalf.If it’s not practical for an organisation or agency to assess the capacity of individuals on a case-by-case basis, as a general rule, an organisation or agency may assume an individual over the age of 15 has capacity, unless they’re unsure”.

Due to our default settings in the KidGigs, we will continue with best practices worldwide and treat any child under the age of 18 to be without capacity to consent and will require the consent of the parent or legal guardian”
