This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your Personal Information. If you do not want us to handle your Personal Information in this manner, please do not use the Services Alley Platform.

I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

• Contact information, such as your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address
• Information about your home, such as the number of bedrooms, the types of appliances, zip code or postal code where your home is located and your instructions for servicing your home
• Billing information, such as credit or debit card number, expiration date & security code and/or information regarding your PayPal, Google Wallet or other digital payment accounts and the Services Alley Platform itself

• Resume and LinkedIn profile
More about payment card information:
Although users can submit credit card or other payment card information to pay for a service through the Services Alley Platform, Services Alley does not receive this information itself. Payment card information is transmitted directly to a third-party payment card processor, Stripe, through an Internet connection secured by industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology. Stripe then communicates to Services Alley whether your payment has cleared but does not provide payment card information to Services Alley.
Surveys
You may, at your choice, complete surveys on the Services Alley Platform or distributed by Services Alley about, for example, your level of satisfaction with the Services Alley Platform, your engagement with the Services Alley Platform, and your awareness of Services Alley Platform features. In some cases, we may link the information you provide in the survey with Personal Information in your Services Alley account, such as your name or email address. When linked to Personal Information, your survey information becomes Personal Information too.
b) Information We Collect Through Technology
We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Services Alley Platform, or contact Services Alley or its third-party service providers, Services Alley and, in some cases, our third-party service providers collect information about you or how you interact with the Services Alley Platform. We describe below a few of the methods we use to collect information through technology.
When you visit the Services Alley Platform, we collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. However, we may link the last IP address you used to access the Services Alley Platform to Personal Information you provide us. Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered Personal Information, we treat them as such.
We may also collect a unique identifier for your computer, mobile device, or other device used to access the Services Alley Platform ("Device Identifier"). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to the device you used to access the Services Alley Platform. We may link the Device Identifier to other information about your visit, such as what pages you viewed, and to Personal Information you provide us, such as your name.
Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. For more information about cookies, please visit our Cookies Policy.
Web Beacons
We may include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as "pixel tags", "web bugs" or "clear GIFs"), in our web and mobile pages and messages. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They 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 help us better manage content on the Services Alley Platform by informing us what content is effective, monitoring how users navigate the Services Alley Platform, counting users of the Services Alley Platform, and counting how many e-mails sent by us were actually opened.
Your 'Do Not Track' Browser Setting
We do not support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser's settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your Personal Information.
We do track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We also use third-party service providers to display advertisements to you on other websites based on your activities while on the Services Alley Platform.
c) Information Collected by Mobile Applications
When you use the App, the App may automatically collect and store some or all of the following information from your mobile device ("Mobile Device Information"), including, but not limited to:
• The type of Internet browsers you use with the App.
• Your preferred country site.
• Your mobile operating system.
• Your phone number or other identifiers assigned to your mobile device, including: The IP address of your mobile device, The manufacturer and model of your mobile device
We may also collect information about how you use the App, such as the amount of time you spend using the App, how many times you use a specific feature of the App over a given time period, how often you use the App, and actions you take in the App. In addition, we may gather information about the website from which you downloaded the App to help us determine what App download site is most effective (collectively "App Usage Information").
We may link your Mobile Device Information and App Usage Information to Personal Information you have provided us, in which case we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
Location Tracking
If you are a service professional using Services Alley's mobile application for service professionals (the "Pro Portal"), we may collect your geographic location by using Global Positioning System (GPS) information sent to us from the Pro Portal. For more information on when this information is collected, how we use it, and with whom it is shared, services professionals should refer to the Service Professional Agreement available on the service professional portal.
We only collect location information about service professionals who have been accepted to participate on the Services Alley Platform and not about service requesters or about service professionals applying to participate in the Services Alley Platform.
d) Information You Provide About A Third Party
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the Services Alley Platform, we may collect your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the Services Alley Platform. We store this information only to send this one-time email and to track the success of our referral program. We 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 refer a friend, your e-mail address may be included in the message sent to your friend.
If you are using the Services Alley Platform to request professional services, you may provide us ratings and reviews of the service professionals you engage through the Services Alley Platform.
e) Information Third Parties Provide About You
Conversion Tracking: We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Services Alley Platform with records received from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you. For example, websites on which we have placed advertisements, such as Google, may tell us which ads about Services Alley you clicked. This is often called "conversion tracking."
Background Checks: In addition, when third parties such as Hirease or Checkr.com conduct background checks on service professionals, those third parties share the results of the background check with Services Alley.
Recording Phone Calls: Selected third-parties, including those who may assist in providing customer service support, may monitor and/or record the contents of phone calls made through or in relation to the Services Alley Platform, after notice to you and with your consent.
Social Networking Sites: If you login to the Services Alley Platform through a social networking site, such as Facebook, we may collect your Facebook authentication token and account identification number and use that information to provide you with access to your account on the Services Alley Platform.
Ratings and Reviews: If you are using the Services Alley Platform as a service professional, we may receive information about you in the form of ratings and reviews from requesters who engaged your professional services through the Services Alley Platform.
Photographs of Completed Services: If you are using the Services Alley Platform to request services, service professionals booked through the Services Alley Platform may take photographs of completed services and provide them to Services Alley.
Message Interception: If you call or text (SMS) message a service professional or service requester using the telephone number provided by Services Alley, Services Alley uses Twilio to mask your telephone number. During this process, Services Alley and Twilio receive in real time and store call data, including the date and time of the call or text (SMS) message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of the text (SMS) messages.
If you send a message to a service professional or service requester in the App, Services Alley uses Twillo to process the communications. During this process, Services Alley and Twillo receive in real time and store message data, including the date, time, and content of the messages.
If you are using the Services Alley Platform as a service professional, we may receive information about you in the form of ratings and reviews from Requesters who engaged your professional services through the Services Alley Platform.
We will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information received from third parties, unless we have disclosed otherwise.
f) Information You Provide to a Third Party
The Services Alley Platform includes links from the Services Alley Platform to sites or applications operated by third parties ("Third-Party Sites") and plug-ins (such as Twitter buttons) from Third-Party Sites.
For example, service professionals may be directed to a Third Party Site, such as Checkr.com, Onfido.com, SterlingTalentSolutions.com, or Hirease.com, so that the Third Party Site can conduct a background check. The Third Party Site may ask the service professional for identifying information to conduct the background check.
Some Third-Party Sites link to Services Alley and share information with Services Alley. For example, in some cases, you can book services through the Services Alley Platform with one of our booking partners (“Booking Partner”), such as Amazon, Facebook, Walmart and Wayfair. In that case, you might provide the booking information, such as your name, telephone number, email address, and booking address, to the Booking Partner. The Booking Partner might then share the necessary booking information with us.
Services Alley does not control any Third-Party Sites, and is not responsible for any information they may collect. The information collection practices of a Third-Party Site are governed by that site's privacy policy.
We recommend that you read the Third-Party Site's privacy policy if you choose to enter any Third-Party Site or click on a plug-in.
