We do not aim any of our products or services directly at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under 13.
Communication and Transactions Policy
To ensure compliance with our community guidelines and policies, all messages exchanged between service providers and clients are monitored by our platform. This monitoring helps us maintain a safe and professional environment for everyone. By using our chat feature, you consent to this monitoring, which is conducted to prevent violations of our policies, such as fraud, harassment, and other inappropriate behavior. The aim is to protect both service providers and clients and to ensure a trustworthy marketplace.
While we monitor messages for compliance, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Your personal information will not be shared with third parties without your consent, except as required by law. Monitoring is limited to ensuring policy adherence and does not extend to non-compliance related surveillance. We employ robust security measures to safeguard your data, and our practices are aligned with relevant privacy laws and regulations.
All users are expected to adhere to our community standards by communicating respectfully and professionally. Harassment, discriminatory language, and inappropriate content are strictly prohibited. Violations of these standards can result in warnings, suspension, or permanent bans from our platform. Our goal is to foster a positive, inclusive, and respectful community where all members feel safe and valued.
We recommend conducting all financial transactions through our platform using the secure channels we provide. This ensures that payments are processed safely and that both parties are protected in the event of a dispute. Payments made or received outside our ecosystem may not be eligible for dispute resolution assistance. It is crucial to avoid sharing sensitive financial information, such as credit card details or bank account numbers, in chat messages. Utilizing our secure payment system not only protects your financial information but also helps in maintaining the integrity and security of our marketplace.
If you encounter any issues or have concerns about interactions within the chat, please contact our support team for assistance. We are here to help resolve any disputes, address any misconduct, and provide guidance on using the platform effectively. Our support team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and satisfactory experience for all users, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns.
