Privacy Policy

  1. Collection and Use of Data

    User Registration requires an individual to disclose his or her name, birth date, address, email address, and, if under 18, his or her parent's name and email address. Help Around Town collects this information to make sure that each User meets the website eligibility requirements. This information is used to create accounts, for billing purposes, and, under circumstances detailed below, to share with other Users. Help Around Town does not share your information or engage in cross-marketing or link-referral programs with other sites.

    Once a User enters an agreement for services with another User, Help Around Town creates a log with the basic transaction information, including the terms, time, and location of the service. Help Around Town will share this log and other User contact information with the parents or legal guardians of users under the age of 18.

    By registering for the site and creating a User profile and postings, you may allow other Users to view your personal information, including any material submitted in a posting or email. Only registered Users may view the contact information of Buyers. Service Provider contact information may be viewed by Buyers only once the User initiates contact with a Buyer, but address information for Users under the age of 16 is never displayed. Contact information and profiles are not searchable by Users or other parties. A User's age is also displayed to other registered Users if the User is under the age of 25, and, if not, the User will be designated as a person age 25 or above.
