CROWDPLAT PRIVACY POLICY

Last Revised: July 6, 2015

Welcome to Crowdplat -- the site that connects freelance technology specialists with those who would like to engage a contractor to provide technology-related services from Crowdplat, Inc. (“Crowdplat,” “we,” “us” or “our”).

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information about you when you use our mobile application (the “App”), our website (the “Site”) and other online products and services that link to this privacy policy (collectively, the “Service”) or when you otherwise interact with us. By using the Service, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this privacy policy.

Through the Service, certain users (“Posters”) can post a listing (a “Posting”) for development and other technology-related services it would like to have performed by freelancers (each, a “Freelancer”). Freelancers can then review the listing and compete with each other Freelancers by submitting a proposal to perform the requested services for a Poster (a “Proposal”).
