3. Information Collection
A. Information you provide to The Temp Hub

Contact Information. This may include your first and last name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
Billing Data, including your payment instrument number (such as a credit or debit card number), expiration date, and security code as necessary to process your payments. Stripe.com is a third party which will collect the payment made by the "buyer" and transfer it over the "seller's" ccount. The Temp Hub is not responsible for missuse of the website.
Service fees. Stripe, which is our third party payment service provider, will make a charge of 2.9%+C$0.30 per successful card (charges may apply if the following: charge +0.6% for international cards +2% if currency conversion is required) for each transaction. For more information about Stripe charges, please visit https://stripe.com/en-ca/pricing#pricing-details.
The Temp Hub won't charge for the use of the website for the first 6 months after the creation of the profile. After completing this time, an administravite fee of 5% will be charged for each transaction.
Identity Information. If you are a person providing the services, we may collect Personal Information, such as your date of birth and address, national identification number if applicable, together with the result of basic criminal record checks as provided by you, or by our Third Party Agents (as defined below), as applicable and to the extent permitted by law in your jurisdiction, and to validate your identity.
Financial Information. To help the person offering the service set up a payment account and help Clients make payments and pay fees to The Temp Hub, we may collect financial information, including credit card number, bank routing numbers, tax information, taxpayer identification number, and other payment information, as applicable.

To keep your financial data secure, we have contracted with a third party to maintain and process your payment card information (Stripe).
Promotional Information. Certain offerings of the The Temp Hub Platform, such as newsletters, surveys, contests, and the like are optional and so you are not required to enter them or to give us your data in connection with them. Where you do consent to take advantage of The Temp Hub Platform offerings, we will use your data to (as applicable) send you newsletters and other communications that are tailored based on information we have about you, or to operate and manage the survey, contest or similar offering in connection with our legitimate interest in promoting our business and the The Temp Hub Platform. To opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us, please see the Choice/Opt-Out section below.

We require that you furnish your Contact Information and Financial Information when you register an account with us in order to provide services through the The Temp Hub Platform. For example, if you are a Client, we collect your first and last name, email address, and your zip or postal code in order to create and administer your The Temp Hub account.

6. Information Sharing
We only share the Information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:
Third Party Agents. We share information, including Identity Information, with entities that process information on our behalf for our business purposes. Third Party Agents assist us with services such as payment processing, data analytics, marketing and advertising, website hosting, fraud prevention and detection, communication services, and technical support. We contractually prohibit our Third Party Agents from retaining, using, or disclosing information about you for any purposes other than performing the services for us, although we may permit them to use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law.
To operate the The Temp Hub Platform, including processing your transactions, we may share your information with our agents, representatives, vendors and service providers (“Third Party Agents”) so they can provide us with support services as follows:
Partners. Some The Temp Hub content is "sponsored by" or "presented by" other companies. If you connect to the The Temp Hub Platform through a co-branded version of our The Temp Hub Platform or otherwise participate in one of our partner programs, we may share information about your use of the The Temp Hub Platform with that Partner in order to offer the integrated platform and to evaluate the partner program. We may also share your information with our Partners in order to receive additional information about you, or in order to create offers that may be of interest to you. Please check such Partner’s privacy policy before revealing information about yourself. If you don't want these Partners to have your Personal Information, you can choose to not participate.
Promotions. When you voluntarily enter a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion, we share information as set out in the official rules that govern the promotion as well as for administrative purposes and as required by law (e.g., on a winners’ list). By entering a promotion, you agree to the official rules that govern that promotion, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other entities to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials. We may occasionally contact you, if you want us to, with information about special events, activities, promotions, contents, submission opportunities, and programs. You always have the ability, in your Account, to ask The Temp Hub not to contact you with this type of information. Please see the Your Rights and Choices section for more information.
Other Users. The Temp Hub facilitates contact between Clients and the person offering the services and reserves the right to share contact information (e.g. name, phone number, email, or postal address) with a Client and vice versa, or with their legal or other representative, in order to facilitate: (1) the resolution of a dispute related to or arising from an interaction between two or more Users of the The Temp Hub Platform; or (2) the performance of a Task. This exchange of information is a mandatory part of the The Temp Hub Platform.
Legal Obligations. The Temp Hub and our Third Party Agents may disclose information or User Generated Content, including location data or communication data, to a third party if required or permitted to do so by law or pursuant to a court order, warrant or subpoena. The Temp Hub reserves the right to disclose Personal Information from both private and public areas of the Site(s) and the The Temp Hub Platform in the absence of a court order, warrant or subpoena, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interfering with the rights of Users, the general public, or The Temp Hub or its partners, parents or affiliates.
It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to law enforcement requests unless (i) we are prohibited or otherwise constrained by law or court order from doing so, (ii) we have reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we may provide notice after the fact).
Merger or Acquisition. The Temp Hub reserves the right to share information in connect with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another business.

The information in your User Profile may be visible to all Users and the general public. If you choose to post a Task via the The Temp Hub Platform, the contents of such listing will be viewable to people offering the service you select on the The Temp Hub Platform.
7. Your Rights and Choices

So that we may protect the integrity of the The Temp Hub Platform, there are certain pieces of information, such as your age, that you cannot alter yourself. For example, since children under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence are not allowed to register as Users, we need to take reasonable measures to preserve the accuracy of our Users' ages. You may contact us if there is a need to make a correction to such data. Please see the Children’s Privacy section for more details.
Promotional Communications. You can opt out of receiving promotional communications from The Temp Hub sent via email by clicking on the unsubscribe link in any message. You can opt out of receiving promotional communications from The Temp Hub sent via text message at any time by following the instructions provided in those messages to text the word "STOP".

If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional communications, The Temp Hub may continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, Tasks, transactions, servicing, or The Temp Hub’s ongoing business relationship with you. If you receive unsolicited email from a The Temp Hub domain, please let us know.
Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to decline or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operations should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals.
App and Location Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via an app by uninstalling the app. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you. If you do not want us to use your location anymore for the purposes set forth above, you should turn off the location services for the mobile application located in your device’s account settings, your mobile phone settings, and/or within the mobile application.
8. The Temp Hub's Information Retention Policy
We retain personal data for as long as you are a User in order to meet our contractual obligations to you, and for such longer period as may be in our legitimate interests and to comply with our legal obligations (see Exhibit B for exemplar document retention periods). We may also retain data from which you cannot directly be identified, for example where stored against a randomly-generated identifier so we know the data relates to a single User, but we cannot tell who that User is. We use this kind of data for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services, and we take appropriate measures to ensure you cannot be re-identified from this data.
9. The Temp Hub’s Security of Collected Information
Your The Temp Hub account is password-protected so that only you and authorized The Temp Hub staff have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone. Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your The Temp Hub account and close the browser window before someone else logs on. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.
The Temp Hub implements and maintains reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. The Temp Hub has staff dedicated to maintaining this Privacy Policy and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing security, and making sure that every The Temp Hub employee is aware of our security practices. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.
