Ubii Privacy Policy

1) INFORMATION WE COLLECT

a) Information You Give Us

We collect any and all information that you voluntarily share with us through the Ubii Platform, including by building your profile.

If you are using the Ubii Platform to request professional services, you may give us now or in the future:

• Contact information, such as your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address
• Information about your home and zip code or postal code where your home is located
• Billing information, such as credit or debit card number, expiration date & security code and/or information regarding your PayPal, or other digital payment accounts and payment preferences, and this information is either directly shared and maintained with our third party payment systems vendors or, in the future, may be maintained by us
• Ratings and reviews for you and for the service professionals you engage through the Ubii Platform
• Preferences on use of service professionals and on products and services you may be interested in

If you participate on the Ubii Platform as a service professional, you may give us now or in the future:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number
• Log-in information, including your Ubii Platform username and password
• Application information, if requesting consideration to participate as a service professional through the Ubii Platform, such as your experience, samples of your work, skills, eligibility to work, and other credentials and information you choose to share with us such as licenses, insurance, certifications, awards (including pictures of such credentials) and your availability.
• Social Security number, if you are a service professional who wishes to participate on the Ubii Platform in the United States you must pass a background check that may require that you provide your social security number. The background check is performed by a third party company which will collect and maintain all data and will provide Ubii with the results of their investigation

Both Customers and Service Providers use the Ubii Platform to get connected. As such, when a connection is made, Ubii will transmit to Customers any relevant contact information about a Service Provider, including name, address, phone number, email and location. Moreover, Ubii will transmit to Service Providers any relevant contact information about a Customer, including name, address, phone number, email, location and notes/details regarding the help needed. With this information, the Customer and the Service Provider can further contact each other, directly, in order to establish whether they want to proceed to getting hired for the job or task.

More about payment card information:

AAlthough users can pay the Service Providers directly, they may in the future submit credit card or other payment card information to pay for a service through the Ubii Platform, and Ubii may not receive oe maintain this information itself. If payments are made through the App, payment card information is transmitted directly to a third-party payment card processor, Stripe, through an Internet connection secured by industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. Stripe then will communicate to Ubii whether your payment has cleared but will not provide payment card information to Ubii. Stripe's privacy policy is available here https://stripe.com/us/privacy/.

Surveys

You may, at your choice, complete surveys on the Ubii Platform about, for example, your level of satisfaction with the Ubii Platform, your engagement with the Ubii Platform, and your awareness of Ubii Platform features. In some cases, we may link the information you provide in the survey with Personal Information in your Ubii 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 Ubii Platform, Ubii and, in some cases, our third-party service providers, we collect information about how you interact with the Ubii Platform. Below is a description of a few of the methods we use to collect information through technology: When you visit the Ubii 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 other entity. 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 Ubii Platform to Personal Information you provide us.

We may also collect a unique identifier for your computer, mobile device, or other device used to access the Ubii Platform ("Device Identifier"). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to the device you used to access the Ubii 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. Like most online services and mobile applications, we and our third-party service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your activity from the computer or devices you use to access the Ubii Platform. A cookie is a file saved on a user’s hard drive that stores certain information about user activity. Users must agree to let cookies be saved for them, and most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. Although you can modify your browser/device settings to reject cookies if desired, this could potentially affect the availability and functionality of our services.

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 Ubii Platform by informing us what content is effective, monitoring how users navigate the Ubii Platform, counting users of the Ubii 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. You may also opt out of targeted advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).
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 Ubii 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 and more specific geographic preferences.
• Your mobile operating system.
• Your phone number or other identifiers assigned to your mobile device, including: The IP address of your mobile device and 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 Customer or a Service Provider, we may collect your geographic location by using Global Positioning System (GPS) information sent to us from your mobile device. We only collect location information about Customers or Service Professionals who have been accepted to participate on the Ubii Platform and not about Customers or about Service Professionals applying to participate in the Ubii Platform.

d) Information You Provide About A Third Party

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the Ubii 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 Ubii 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 Ubii Platform to request professional services, you may provide us ratings and reviews of the service professionals you engage through the Ubii Platform.

e) Information Third Parties Provide About You

We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Ubii 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 place advertisements, such as Google, may tell us which ads about Ubii you clicked. This is often called “conversion tracking.”

n addition, when third parties such as Checkr, Accurate, IDI or others conduct background checks on service professionals, those third parties share the results of the background check with Ubii. If you login to the Ubii 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 Ubii Platform.
If you call or text (SMS) message a service professional or service Customer using the telephone number provided by Ubii, Ubii uses Twilio or other partners, from time to time, to mask your telephone number. During this process, Ubii and Twilio (or other partners) 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 Customer in the App, Ubii uses Layer to process the communications. During this process, Ubii and Layer receive in real time and store message data, including the date and time of the message, and the content of the messages.
If you are using the Ubii Platform as a Service Professional, we may receive information about you in the form of ratings and reviews from requestors who engaged your professional services through the Ubii 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

TThe Ubii Platform includes links from the Ubii 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, Accurate, 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 Ubii and share information with Ubii. For example, in some cases, you can book services through the Ubii Platform with one of our booking partners. 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.

Ubii 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 any plug-ins available through our Site.
