We may collect this information through various forms and in various places through the Services, including account registration forms, contact us forms, or when you otherwise interact with us.

If you choose to upload a photo when registering for our Services, the photo may be viewable by us and by the service providers who are performing your tasks so that they are able to verify your identity. You may remove or update the photo at any time by logging into your account.
(b) Information We Collect As You Access And Use Our Services.
In addition to any Personal Information or other information that you choose to submit to us, we and our third party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Services(“ageInformation”). This Usage Information may include the type of browser that you are using, the URL that referred you to our Services, all of the areas within our Services that you visit, and the time of day, among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including to enhance or otherwise improve the Services.
We collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“vice Identifier”)or your computer, mobile or other device used to access the Services (a “vice”). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access the Services, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier.
Usage Information may be non-identifying or may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.
A few of the methods that may be used to collect Usage Information include, without limitation, the following (and subsequent technology and methods hereafter developed):
Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to access the Services. A Flash cookie is a data file placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plugin that may be builtin to or downloaded by you to your Device. Cookies and Flash Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. Cookies work by assigning a number to the user that has no meaning outside of the assigning website. If you do not want information to be collected through the use of cookies, your browser may allow you to deny or accept the use of cookies. Cookies can be disabled or controlled by setting a preference within your web browser or on your Device. If you choose to disable cookies or Flash cookies on your Device, some features of the Services may not function properly or may not be able to customize the delivery of information to you. You should be aware that the Company cannot control the use of cookies (or the resulting information) by third parties, and use of third party cookies is not covered by our Privacy Policy.
Web Beacons. Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1 GIFs” “ear GIFs”)ay be included in our web and mobile pages and messages. The web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our Services by informing us what content is effective, count users of the Services, monitor how users navigate the Services, count how many emails that we send were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. We do not tie the information gathered by web beacons to our customers’ personal information.
Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
In addition, Usage Information includes tracking information collected as you navigate through our Services, including, but not limited to geographic areas. We collect this information for various purposes –including to provide status updates to you while a task is being performed via our Services, to provide you with customer support, to send you promotions and offers, to enhance our Services, and for our internal business purposes.
We may also have features that allow you to share this geographic information with other people (such as your family, friends or colleagues) if you choose. By using those features, you agree to the sharing of your geographic information with the other individuals.
(c) Information Third Parties Provide About You.
We may, from time to time, supplement the information we collect about you through our web site or Mobile Application with outside records from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may combine the information we receive from those sources with information we collect through the Services. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise.
(d) Information You Provide About A Third Party.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Services or a job position, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a onetime email inviting him or her to visit the Services. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this onetime email and tracking the success of our referral program, and do not use this information for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when you use any send to a friend functionality through our Services, your email address may be included in the communication sent to your friend. We will not use this information for any marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise.

To create aggregated and anonymized information to determine which Mobile Application features are most popular and useful to users, and for other statistical analyses;

The companies for which service providers work are also able to access your Personal Information, including your geolocation data.
We may associate your unique mobile Device Identifier or Mobile Application usage information with any Personal Information you provide, but we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
