This Privacy Policy was last modified on 4 November 2019.
We provide means for you to see and control the information that we collect through your device permissions.
We use Member and User device location services to enable our customers to locate each other. The Member location is shown on the User device. At no time will the Member be able to see the User location on their device, without permission or consent.
Location data helps navigation and customer support.
You may enable/disable your location at any time via the settings on your mobile device. If you disable the device location services on your device, your use of the Member and the User apps will be affected.
If you have enabled the device location services, you will be able to search for Members on the User app.
Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the SkillzFinder and SkillzTrader apps want permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the apps seek before you first use it, your use of the apps constitutes your consent.
After every contact, Users are able to rate the Members performance. This system holds Members accountable for their behaviour. Accountability helps create a respectful and safe environment for both Members and Users.
The Members rating is shown on both apps and provides an indication of the Members last rated performance.
