Privacy Policy

Zodel, LLC. and its affiliates (collectively “Zodel,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) value your privacy. In this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we describe the information we collect, how we use it, and when and to whom we disclose it. This Policy applies to all Zodel websites, mobile applications, and other online services (collectively, the “Platform”) made available by or through Zodel and on which we post this Policy, including through our URL  www.Zodel.com , and to information we collect offline or through other means. Undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions as set forth in our  Terms of Use . By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to this Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

How we collect and store information depends on how you access and use the Platform. We collect information in multiple ways including when you provide information directly to us, when we collect information from affiliates and non-affiliated sources, and when we passively collect information from you, such as information collected from your browser or device.

Information You Provide Directly to Us

You may provide us with information about you when you use or access the Platform, such as when you register for an account; participate in polls or surveys; enroll for electronic newsletters; request a quote or other information; submit or respond to a quote; make a payment; fill out any forms; enter a sweepstakes or contest, or register for a promotion; transmit User Content; download or use one of our mobile applications; you consent to our collection of information, such as when you grant us permission to collect your device’s contact list; or otherwise communicate with us or other Users through the Platform. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive; this Policy applies to all your uses of the Platform.

The personal information you provide directly to us may include, but is not limited to: (a) name; (b) zip code; (c) email address; (d) home or business telephone number; (e) home, business or mailing address; (f) demographic information (e.g., gender, age, and other information relevant to User surveys and/or offers); (g) date of birth and/or age verification; (h) insurance information (if you are a Talent); (i) photographs and/or video files or audio files (e.g., customer service call recordings); (j) information about your project, request or need; (k) in certain circumstances, payment information; (l) identity verification information (such as Social Security number or driver’s license information); and/or (m) any other information you include in communications with other Users through the Platform or communications with us. It may also include your information specific to the services you are requesting or offering through the Platform, such as a business name, service description, qualifications and credentials. You are not required to provide us with such information, but certain features of the Platform may not be accessible or available absent the provision of the requested information.

We utilize a third-party payment provider to process certain payment information (e.g., credit card information or bank account information).

Information from Affiliates, Social Networking Sites, and Other Non-Affiliated Sources

We may collect information about you through Zodel affiliates or through non-affiliated sources, including public information sources. For example:

  • To the extent permitted by law, we may, in our sole discretion, ask for and collect supplemental information about you from non-affiliated sources, such as information about your credit from a credit bureau, or information to verify your identity or trustworthiness, or for other fraud or safety protection purposes. We may combine information that we collect from you through the Platform with information that we obtain from such sources, including public information sources and information derived from any other products or services we provide.
  • We may collect information that demonstrates the occurrence of an off-Platform communication between a Client and a Talent in order to ensure accurate charging of fees imposed upon Talents and to enforce the Terms of Use. Except as explicitly stated herein, we will not collect or store the contents of any off-Platform communication between a Client and a Talent.
  • If you send text messages with a Client or Talent using the telephone number for that User available on the Platform, we may use a third-party vendor to track these text messages. We track these text messages for fraud prevention, to ensure appropriate charging of fees, to enforce our Terms of Use, and for quality and training purposes. As part of this process, Zodel and the third-party vendor will receive in real time and store data about your text message, including the date and time of the text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message.

Please note that we have no control over how any third-party site uses or discloses the information it collects about you.

Information That Is Passively or Automatically Collected

Device/Usage Information .  We and certain third-party vendors, including ad networks and analytics providers, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Platform. As described further below, we and these third-party vendors may collect and analyze information including but not limited to (a) browser type; (b) ISP or operating system; (c) domain name; (d) access time; (e) referring or exit pages; (f) page views; (g) IP address; (h) unique device identifiers (e.g. IDFA or Android ID); and (i) the type of device that you use. We may also track and record when and how frequently you access or use the Platform, or how you browse the Platform. We do not, however, collect keystroke information. We use this information (including the information collected by relevant third-party vendors) for Platform analytics (including to determine which portions of the Platform are used most frequently and what our Users like/do not like), to assist in determining relevant advertising (both on and off the Platform), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, and as otherwise described in this Policy.

Location Information .  When you use the Platform, we may collect general location information (such as your location as derived from your IP address). If you install our mobile app, depending on your device settings and any permissions you have granted, we may collect information about your precise geolocation, and we may use that information to improve the Platform, including providing you with location-based features (e.g., for identification of Services available near you or checking in at a project or event). To deliver customized content and advertising, we may disclose your location information to our agents, vendors, or advertisers. If you access the Platform through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you may be able to disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device. See your device manufacturer’s instructions for further details. If you disable certain functions, you may be unable to use certain parts of the Platform.

Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies .  We and our third-party vendors may use cookies, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies that help us better understand User behavior, personalize preferences, perform research and analytics, and improve the Platform. These technologies, for example, may allow us to tailor the Platform to your needs, save your password in password-protected areas, track the pages you visit, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Platform usage. We also use certain of these technologies to deliver advertisements through the Platform that may interest you or to advertise ourselves and the Platform to you on other sites. We or our third-party vendors also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our Users to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Platform.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use your information for any of the following reasons:

  • For the purposes for which you provided it;
  • To enable you to use the services available through the Platform, including registering you for our services and verifying your identity and authority to use our services;
  • For customer support and to respond to your inquiries;
  • For internal record-keeping purposes;
  • To administer surveys, sweepstakes, promotions, or contests;
  • To track fees and process billing and payment including sharing with third-party payment gateways and payment vendors in connection with the Platform;
  • To improve and maintain the Platform and for product development;
  • To address fraud or safety concerns, or to investigate complaints or suspected fraud or wrongdoing;
  • To market and advertise our services and the Platform, including to send promotional emails or text messages regarding new products from Zodel, special offers from Zodel, or other information that we believe may interest you;
  • As permitted under applicable law, to contact you by text message regarding certain services or information you have requested;
  • As permitted under applicable law, to contact you by telephone or text message regarding Platform features, improvements, or other products and services that we believe may interest you;
  • For Zodel’s market research purposes, including, but not limited to, the customization of the Platform;
  • To contact you with information about your use of the Platform;
  • For other research and analytical purposes; and
  • To resolve disputes, to protect ourselves and other Users of the Platform, or third parties, including to protect property or safety; and to enforce any legal terms that govern your use of the Platform.

For Talents, we may display information related to your business, including your name or your business’s name, publicly on your profile, except to the extent we tell you we will not display such information. If the information you provide us upon signing up for an account differs from the information you provide us as part of the verification data we collect, we have sole discretion in determining which information will be displayed publicly on your profile.

We may combine information that we collect from you through the Platform with information that we obtain from affiliated and non-affiliated sources, and information derived from any other products or services we provide. We may aggregate and/or de-identify information we collect. We may use de-identified or aggregated information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes and may also disclose such information to any third parties, including without limitation, advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.

We may, either directly or through third-party providers we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, or analyze your communications with other Users exchanged via the Platform or as otherwise described in this Policy for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research and User support purposes. We may also scan, review or analyze messages for research and product development purposes, as well as to debug, improve and expand product offerings. By using the Platform or engaging in off-Platform communications tracked by Zodel, you consent that Zodel, in its sole discretion, may, either directly or through third-parties we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, analyze, and store your communications.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

Unless otherwise described in this Policy, we may also disclose the information that we collect as follows:

  • Affiliates. We may disclose your information to any Zodel affiliates.
  • Consent. We may disclose your information based on your consent to do so.
  • Vendors. We may provide your information to select third parties who perform services on our behalf.
  • Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information when required by law or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process we receive; (b) establish or exercise our legal rights including enforcing and administering agreements with Users; or (c) defend Zodel against legal claims.
  • Protection of Zodel and Users. We may disclose your information when we believe it appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use or any other legal terms governing use of the Platform, and/or to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of Users.
  • Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, or sell some or all our assets. In such contemplated or actual transactions or where there is any change of control of Zodel, your information may be among the disclosed and/or transferred assets.
  • App Store Providers. We may provide your identity and mobile device identifier to third-party app store providers (for example, the Apple App Store) to allow you to download our mobile apps.

You may post Content on or through our Platform, including, but not limited to, your comments, pictures, Talent profile, and other information. However, please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. Some information you provide and/or that we collect may be publicly accessible. For instance, registration for an account requires that you provide us with your name. If you register through Facebook, the Platform will use the name associated with your Facebook account. Your name (full name, or in some instances, your first name and last initial) may be visible to other Users. Depending on the circumstances, your name may be attached to your Content or information, such as scheduling of Services, service requests, reviews, participating in discussions or forums, messaging, and profile information. Certain other people, including other Users with whom you have interacted via the Platform, may see information about you that is attached to your name. For example (but without limitation), if you are a Client seeking Services, the description you provide of your desired services, along with your name, will be shown to some Talents registered in the relevant category along with your name. Thus, other Users may be able to personally identify you based on Content you provide. Similarly, certain information we collect, including but not limited to when you last accessed the Platform, may be disclosed to other Users with whom you are interacting or otherwise made public.

If you choose to post User Content on or through the Platform, such as through User-to-User messaging or through our review boards, forums, blogs, or other postings, that information: (a) may be or may become publicly available; (b) may be collected and used by third-parties with or without our knowledge; and (c) may be used by third parties (including other Users) in a manner that may violate this Policy or applicable law.

ONLINE ANALYTICS AND TAILORED ADVERTISING

Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services on the Platform, such as those of Google Analytics. Providers of these services use cookies and similar technologies to help us analyze how Users use the Platform, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by the technology may be disclosed to or collected directly by these providers. We may also use Google Analytics; to prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the  Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on .

Tailored Advertising

We may use advertising services provided by third parties on the Platform, which provide their services using cookies and similar technologies. Third-party providers whose products or services are accessible or marketed via the Platform may also place such technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Platform. We, our providers, and third parties collect information in this way for advertising and marketing purposes.

Certain third-party providers and certain cookies or similar technologies on the Platform enable us and third parties to serve you “tailored” advertising online that is more relevant to you and your interests. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the  Network Advertising Initiative’s Client Opt-Out Link  (“NAI”)  and/or the  Digital Advertising Alliance’s Client Opt-Out Link  (“DAA”)  to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the  Google Ads Settings page .

Please note that if you opt out of tailored advertising, you may still receive online advertisements about us, the Platform, or third parties on the Platform – however, such advertising is not tailored.

When using a mobile application, you may also receive tailored in-application advertising. Each operating system (e.g., iOS for Apple devices, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own instructions on how to prevent use of your mobile advertising identifier to deliver tailored in-application advertising. For more information, you may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the operating systems and devices you use, or contact the applicable provider/operator.

PRIVACY OF MINORS

Zodel services are not offered nor provided to minors (i.e., persons under the age of 18). We elect to provide services only to persons 18 years of age or older, including any use of the Platform. If we discover, or if you inform us, that an individual under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will close the account and delete that individual’s personal information as required by law. We may, where permitted by law, retain certain information internally for purposes described in this Policy.

SECURITY

We employ physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Zodel may use encryption, passwords, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access and disclosure. No security measures, however, are completely failsafe. Zodel does not promise and cannot guarantee that any information provided or transmitted online is completely secure. Zodel is not responsible for the unauthorized use of your information nor for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

LINKS TO EXTERNAL PLATFORMS

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources over which Zodel does not have any control; please review such other websites’ privacy policies as to their use of personal information. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Zodel of those third-party websites. You acknowledge that Zodel is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and further agree that Zodel is not responsible in any way for such third-party websites, including without limitation for their content or how they treat information you provide to them.

YOUR CHOICES

You may review, correct, and delete certain information about you through your account, such as by logging in to the Platform and navigating to your preferences page in “Your Dashboard.” We expect you to promptly update your account information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your profile information from view as soon as reasonably possible. We may retain information from closed accounts in order to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations of any User, enforce our Terms of Use, and/or for any other purposes otherwise permitted by law that we deem necessary in our sole discretion. You should understand, however, that once you transmit  User Content  through the Platform, it may be acquired by others who may not be required to delete or modify such User Content. Once we have deactivated or removed your account, you agree that Zodel will not be responsible for retaining information related to your account.

We may send periodic emails or text messages to you. You may opt out of promotional emails or text messages by following the opt-out instructions contained in the  promotional content. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt out of receiving promotional emails or text messages, we may still send you emails or text messages about your account or any services you have requested or received from us, transactions, or changes to our Terms of Use, this Policy, or other relevant terms.

We may monitor and record our telephone conversations with you for training and quality assurance purposes. You will be provided with a notice at the beginning of any call that is being recorded.

THIS POLICY IS CURRENT AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE SET FORTH ABOVE. ZODEL MAY, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, CHANGE THIS POLICY AT ANY TIME. ZODEL WILL POST ITS UPDATED POLICY ON THE PLATFORM, SEND YOU A MESSAGE OR OTHERWISE NOTIFY YOU WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Some of the categories of personal information described above are also “sensitive personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA. The sensitive personal information we may have collected in the preceding twelve months are: (1) account log-in and password or other credentials allowing access to your account; (2) certain user-to-user communications made through our Platform, including text messages sent via our 3 rd  party enabled messaging platform; (3) precise geolocation; (4) Social Security number; and (5) driver’s license number. The CCPA provides you with the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of your sensitive personal information. You may limit the use of precise geolocation for advertising purposes by opting out of the “sale” or “sharing” of such information, as discussed below. We do not use or disclose any other sensitive personal information for purposes that are subject to the right to limit.

We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular User or device. We may use or disclose this aggregated or de-identified information in our discretion.

Your CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident (as defined by the CCPA), you may have the right to request that we:

  • Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, “sharing” or “selling” your personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose or “sell” or with whom we “share” personal information; and the categories of personal information we “sell” or “share.”
  • Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we have about you.
  • Delete certain personal information we have about you.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information we have about you.

You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in California law) for exercising certain of your rights referenced herein. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. In addition, we need certain types of information so that we can provide and improve our services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use our services.

To exercise any of these rights, you may submit a request at  legal@zodel.com .  You will be required to verify your identity before we are able to fulfill your request, for instance by logging into the Zodel platform. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You may still need to verify your identity directly with us.

You also have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of your personal information as described below.

“Sales” of personal information .  Zodel may disclose certain identifiers (like IP address and email address), internet or other electronic network activity information (like information regarding an individual’s browsing interactions on the Platform), and commercial information (like the fact that a browser visited a page with home improvement tips) to certain analytics, advertising, and marketing providers in ways that may be considered “sales” under the CCPA. Zodel also discloses Clients’ identifiers (like name) and general location information (like zip code) to select Talents to better enable those Clients to find a Talent who can provide a service the Client has expressed interest in. Under the CCPA, these may be considered “sales” of your personal information.

“Sharing” personal information .  Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a User based on that User’s personal information obtained from the User’s activity across websites. We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Platform. As part of this advertising, we may “share” certain identifiers (like IP address and email address), internet or other electronic network activity information (like information regarding an individual’s browsing interactions on the Platform), and commercial information (like the fact that a browser visited a page with home improvement tips) with advertising platforms and advertising networks.

To opt out of our “sale” and “sharing” of your personal information as described above, you may delete your account .

Retention of Your Personal Information

We will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform and our services or until you delete or modify your information. We also reserve the right to retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

California Shine the Light Disclosure

If you are a California resident, you may ask for a list of third parties that have received your personal information for direct marketing purposes during the previous calendar year. If we have disclosed your personal information in such circumstance, this list will contain the types of information disclosed, and we will provide this list at no cost; provided that such a request has not been previously made within the one (1) year period described above. To make such a request, contact us at  legal@zodel.com .

SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVACY NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS OF OTHER U.S. STATES

Residents of certain other states may have certain rights regarding their “personal data,” as defined in these states’ laws (“personal information”), that we process.

Your state law may permit you to request that we:

  • Confirm whether or not we are processing your personal information and provide you with access to such personal information;
  • Correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information;
  • Delete your personal information;
  • Provide you a copy of personal information that you previously provided to us in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another business, where our processing is carried out by automated means; and
  • Opt you out of processing of personal information for purposes of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (please note that we do not engage in this kind of processing).Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the Platform to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Platform.To exercise any of these rights, you may submit a request at legal@zodel.com NOTICE FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS Under Nevada law, certain Nevada Users may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration. “Personally identifiable information” includes first and last name, address, email address, phone number, Social Security Number, or an identifier that allows a person to be contacted either physically or online.

    We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased or leased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by legal@zodel.com.  Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.
