Contractors submit bids anonymously, and you maintain full control over who can contact you.

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With Contractors: Project details and photos are shared with verified contractors on our platform to enable bidding. Your contact information is only shared when you accept a bid.
• Service Providers: We work with third-party service providers who help us operate our platform (hosting, email delivery, payment processing).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and safety.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption, secure servers, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and personal information
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails or SMS notifications
