These linked sites are not under our control and thus we are not responsible for their actions. Before providing your personal information via any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that website and its privacy policy.

How we use personal information

The information we request, collect, and process is primarily used to provide users with the product or service they have requested. More specifically, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:

• to provide the service or product you have requested;
• to facilitate the creation of a User Contract (see Terms of Service for more information);
• to provide technical or other support to you;
• to answer enquiries about our services, or to respond to a complaint;
• to promote our other programs, products or services which may be of interest to you (unless you have opted out from such communications);
• to allow for debugging, testing and otherwise operate our platforms;
• to conduct data analysis, research and otherwise build and improve our platforms;
• to comply with legal and regulatory obligations;
• if otherwise permitted or required by law; or
• for other purposes with your consent, unless you withdraw your consent for these purposes.

The 'lawful processing' grounds on which we will use personal information about our users are (but are not limited to):

• when a user has given consent;
• when necessary for the performance of a contract to which the user is party;
• erasure processing is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations;
• processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of our users or of another natural person.
• processing is done in pursuing our legitimate interests, where these interests do not infringe on the rights of our users.

We use automated decisions when helping matching users to jobs. The primary way this occurs is through how we rank users. These rankings are produced by analyzing user generated content, user activity and the outcome of jobs; in this context, user generated content will include reviews that users receive when completing jobs. More information on these ranking guides can be found in our community articles. Automated decision making is also used to recommend potential jobs to our users and as a part of our marketplace security systems.

When we disclose personal information

Our third party service providers

The personal information of users may be held, transmitted to or processed on our behalf outside Australia, including 'in the cloud', by our third party service providers. Our third party service providers are bound by contract to only use your personal information on our behalf, under our instructions.

Our third party service providers include:

• Cloud hosting, storage, networking and related providers
• SMS providers
• Payment and banking providers
• Marketing and analytics providers
• Security providers

Third party applications

Through the Oddlancer API it is possible for users to grant third party applications access to their Oddlancer account. Depending on the permissions that are granted, these applications may be able to access some personal information or do actions on the users' behalf. These third party applications are not controlled by us and will be governed by their own privacy policy. Users are able to remove third party applications from accessing their data through their settings.

Other disclosures and transfers

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties for the following purposes:

• if necessary to provide the service or product you have requested;
• we receive court orders, subpoenas or other requests for information by law enforcement;

You have the right to request access to the personal information Oddlancer holds about you. Unless an exception applies, we must allow you to see the personal information we hold about you, within a reasonable time period, and without unreasonable expense for no charge. Most personal information can be accessed by logging into your account.

please contact our Support Officer.

You also have the right to request the correction of the personal information we hold about you. All your personal information can be updated through the user settings pages. If you require assistance please contact our customer support.

Exercising your other rights

You have a number of other rights in relation to the personal data Oddlancer holds about you, however, there may be restrictions on how you may exercise the rights. This is largely due to the nature of the products and services we provide. Much of the data we collect is in order to facilitate contracts between users, facilitate payments, and provide protection for the legitimate users of our marketplace - these data uses are protected against the below rights.

You have the right to:

• seek human review of automated decision-making or profiling
• opt-out of direct marketing, and profiling for marketing
• temporary restriction of processing.

Human review of automated decision making / profiling - In the case of our ranking algorithms, it is not possible to exercise this right as this ranking is a fundamental part of the marketplace that users participate in, opting out would mean not being able to participate in the marketplace. Decisions affecting marketplace security are already reviewed by humans.

Direct marketing and profiling - users can control what emails they receive through their settings page.

Erasure - Most personal information and user generated content cannot be deleted as they are used to support contracts between users, document financial transactions, and are used in protecting other legitimate users of the marketplace. In the case of non-personal data that can be linked with personal data, it will either be erased or otherwise anonymised from the personal data.

Temporary restriction to processing - under certain circumstances you may exercise this right, in particular if you believe that the personal data we have is not accurate, or you believe that we do not have

legitimate grounds for processing your information. In either case you may exercise this right by contacting our privacy officer.

Unless stated above, users may exercise any of the above rights by contacting our Privacy Officer.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivable the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

0.1. users can visit our site anonymously;

0.2. our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy”, and can easily be found on the homepage of our website;

0.3. users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page;

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.
