In other words, when you use the Site, we record details about your visit, including the searches you conduct, the pages you see, and any purchases or communications you make. We also collect, utilize, and process information about your usage of the Site, such as your geographic location, Internet Protocol address, device and connection details, browser and connection details, web-log details, and the addresses of any pages you visited immediately before or immediately after using the Site.

Information We Receive from Third Parties. Third-party suppliers and other commercially available sources provide us with data, such as:

In compliance with the law, we may use data from third-party suppliers to complement the information we gather about you. Providers often alert us to potential fraudulent activity, which helps with our overall fraud prevention and risk assessment efforts. We also work with advertising and marketing partners that provide us with data that helps us manage and evaluate our campaigns, as well as enrichment service providers who help us improve and personalize your experience.
We receive information, including your registration and profile data, from the third-party service you link, connect, or login with (e.g. Google, Facebook, LinkedIn). The service in question determines what data it collects and stores, or it collects and stores data only with your permission, based on the privacy settings you've established for that service.
If you invite people from your G-suite address book, we will be able to see their information if you have given us permission to do so. We'll use this information to send invitations to your connections so they can create an account on Workfyx. We will also use aggregated, anonymous data for our own analysis.
If you choose to add information from third parties to your account or combine your account with third party systems, tools, or products, we will get certain information about you in accordance with the permissions you have set up with those third parties.
If you are invited to Workfyx by another user, for example as part of our collaboration tools and referral program, we will receive limited information about you, such as your email address or other contact information, and we will use it for the same purpose it was provided and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

For the purposes described in this Policy, we may combine your personal data with data we get automatically or from other sources.

Our Legal Basis for Using Your Personal Information

All processing of your personal information shall be based on a "lawful ground" for processing, as required by any applicable legislation. When doing processing, it will usually be okay to do so because:

your permission has been granted for us to utilize your personal data;
When we use your personal information, it's because we have to in order to fulfill our end of a bargain when you've asked us to (such delivering the services you've paid for);
For compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation (such as fraud prevention), processing is required;
We need to process your information to further our legitimate business interests (such providing you with better service), but we will always be mindful of your rights and concerns.

How Do We Use The Information Collected?

Your data will be used for the following reasons:

in order to run the Site, fulfill our commitments to you, create new features for the service, and keep you safe while using them. We utilize your personal data for things like identification checks. We also utilize this data for account creation and maintenance, password verification and re-issue, activity tracking, member-to-member communication, technical assistance, and periodic communication. This data allows us to develop and improve our services, learn and analyze both our own and your preferences and performance, personalize and optimize our service (such as by suggesting Gigs, ranking search results, etc.), and better serve you in the future.
in order to keep the marketplace honest, stop fraud, and keep customers' personal information protected. We may use your personal information for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to: enforcing our Terms of Service; conducting security investigations and risk assessments; verifying or authenticating information you provide; monitoring content integrity; and conducting security investigations and risk assessments. To accomplish these goals, we engage in certain behavioral analytics, and in some situations, automated systems may limit or suspend your access to Workfyx if we determine that your actions pose a threat to the Workfyx marketplace, other users, our community, or third parties. You can reach us at privacy@workfyx.com if you disagree with a decision we've made.
to get in touch with you in response to your specific inquiries or as otherwise approved by you or permitted by this Policy.
advertising and publicizing Workfyx, our services, and the Site to potential buyers and sellers. We may use the information we gather from you for a variety of purposes, including as responding to your requests for information, providing you with material that may be of interest to you, and arranging and carrying out contests, referral programs, and other forms of promotion.
to keep documents as required by law, to cooperate with legitimate inquiries from government agencies, and to follow all relevant rules and regulations.

If we want to use your data in a way that isn't covered by this Policy, we'll get your permission first.

Direct marketing:

We may use the information you provide about yourself to contact you directly with marketing material and information on Workfyx goods, services, and promotions that may be of interest to you. Online ads that are specifically tailored to the user's interests also fall into this category.
When we collect and use information about you for marketing purposes, we do so because we have a legitimate business need to do so, we have your consent to do so, or we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law. You have the right to stop receiving direct marketing at any time, and you can do so by clicking the "opt-out" link included in every marketing email you receive or by sending an email to optout@Workfyx.com.
We take precautions to keep direct marketing to a minimum, and we only send you messages that we think you'll find interesting or relevant based on the data we have collected about you.

How Long Do We Keep Personal Information?

As a general rule, we store individual data for no longer than is necessary to achieve the goals for which it was gathered. However, we may keep your information for longer periods of time in special conditions. For the following reasons, we will keep your information on file:

as long as it serves a purpose central to our business (such as documenting your transactions so we can refer back to them if necessary); and
for the purposes of complying with relevant laws, preventing fraud, collecting any payments owing, resolving disputes, troubleshooting difficulties, aiding any investigation, enforcing our Site rules, and any other steps permitted by law with regards to personal information from closed accounts.

Visitors and other users of the Site. Your username, country, and other details about your behavior on the Site are all public after you register. Your uploaded images, published portfolio, Gig details, ratings, and whatever else you choose to add to your profile. You can also use our public forums, blogs, and other tools to share your thoughts and opinions with the world. When you utilize these tools, some of your personal information, such your username and profile, may be made visible to the public. When you send a message to, or engage in any other sort of communication with, another user, that individual will also receive a copy of your profile. You do so at your own risk when you make your data public and/or share it with other users of Workfyx. Users, such as the Freelancers who are performing services for you through Workfyx, receive the personal information you choose to provide with them as independent controllers. It is your obligation to ensure that other users will comply with your standards, even if Workfyx's Terms of Service require Freelancers to keep the information shared with them confidential.

For business reasons, we may share your personal information with third-party service providers who help us run the Site, open and manage your account, and supply related services and solutions. IT SaaS services, session recording, communication systems, mailing systems, data optimization and marketing services, data enrichment services, legal and financial advisors or technical consultants are all examples of such providers. We take the necessary technological and organizational precautions to ensure that your personal information is protected and is only processed in line with our instructions, as required by applicable law;
For considerations of law. In response to a subpoena, court order, judicial process, or to regulatory authorities, we may disclose personal information to the appropriate government or law enforcement agency when we believe it is necessary or appropriate to do so (for example, in connection with an investigation into actual or suspected fraud or other illegal activity).
To check purchases and prevent scams. In order to process payments made through the Site, prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions (like money laundering), claims, or other liabilities, we must share your personal information with payment processors and fraud detection agencies.
Joined forces with the social media. Some social media capabilities, such as single sign-on, are available on our Site. Facebook and Google are two examples of social media platforms and marketing partners with whom we share limited personal information in order to promote our services and the Workfyx marketplace. To work properly, such features and third-party services may collect information about you and place a cookie on your browser. The policies of those third parties apply to the functionality of their features.
Users you communicate with. By exchanging contact details, we make it easier for our users to communicate with one another. To ensure the Freelancer's services meet your needs, for instance, we may share limited information about you (such as the fact that this is your first purchase on Workfyx) with the Freelancer. This information sharing is strictly limited to improving the Freelancer's services and your overall user experience.
Together with our corporate partners. For the purposes of administering the Site, providing our services to you, and for the other purposes indicated herein, we share personal information with the corporate affiliates of Workfyx (FyxNetwork that are related by common control; and

The United States and Israel, for example, have laws that may be different from those of your country of residence, and some of the personal information you give to us will be held or processed on our behalf by third party suppliers and data processors situated in those countries. Personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to countries outside the EEA that are not assessed to provide an appropriate degree of data protection from a European data protection perspective, including the United States, whether to third parties or internally. With respect to transfers of personal information to such recipients located outside the EEA, we implement suitable measures, including the use of EU standard contractual clauses, as may be updated from time to time, and/or analogous data transfer protections. We will do everything in our power to protect your personal information and adhere to this Policy, including using reasonable technical and organizational measures.

We are routinely audited and re-certified as compliant with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) for accepting credit card payments. In addition, we make it a point to contractually require the same level of protection for the privacy and security of your data from any third parties that may have access to it during the course of processing. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you communicate to the Site via the internet. Once we have received your information, we will employ many layers of protection to keep it safe from prying eyes. Registered users of the Site undertake to keep their password confidential and not share it with anybody. We are happy to give more details regarding our data security procedures upon request.

Rights of EU, EEA and UK Users

If you are a resident of the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, this portion of the Policy applies to you.

For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), FyxNetwork by PreciousX is the "Controller" for the processing of personal data as specified in this Privacy policy.

In regards to your personal data, you have the following protections under applicable EU regulation:

to learn more about the processing of your personal data and to receive a copy of that data;
to correct incorrect individual data;
where (a) you object to our processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest and we are unable to show an overriding legitimate ground for the processing; (b) where you have provided your personal information to us with your consent and you wish to withdraw your consent and we are relying on a legitimate interest and we are unable to show an overriding legitimate ground for the processing; and (c) where we are processing your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest
where (a) the accuracy of the personal information is contested; (b) the processing is unlawful but you object to erasure of the personal information; (c) we no longer require the personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, but you require it to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim; or (d) you have objected to processing of your personal information based on our legitimate interests.
to raise objections to judgments made purely by computer processing or profiling;
To request a copy of your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format and to request that we share (port) this data to another data controller if you have submitted such information to us with your consent; or
to get a copy of the safeguards under which your personal information is transferred beyond the EEA, or to get access to those safeguards.

In some cases, you may be able to file an objection to, or request that we cease processing, your personal data based on our legitimate interests or grounds relevant to your unique situation. In addition, you can always raise an objection to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is relevant to such purposes. If you do not want us to use your personal information in this way, then we shall stop doing so.

You also have the option to file a formal complaint with a data protection regulator. Both the right of access and the right to deletion are not absolute rights, and may be limited by the interests of other individuals in line with local laws.

Before providing the information you've requested, we'll need to verify your identity with additional information. When allowed by law, we may implement a fee structure. If fulfilling your request would compromise the privacy of others, be extraordinarily difficult, or require us to do something that is illegal, we will not do it. For record-keeping, accounting, and fraud prevention purposes, we may also preserve some personally identifiable information for as long as is authorized by law.
