Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2024

Last Updated: June 23, 2026

getpaidtodochores.com is a platform operated by PoolHall LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") that pays workers ("Workers") to complete tasks and chores and submit proof of completion. This notice explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have. It applies to personal data collected through the getpaidtodochores.com website and mobile applications (the "Platform"). The Platform is currently offered to Workers in the United States only, and personal data is processed in the United States. It does not apply to information collected directly by third-party sites, applications, devices, or services you interact with during tasks, including external client data collection platforms.

1. Information We Collect

• Identity data: name, preferred name, date of birth, and country of residence, provided during sign-up, onboarding, tax forms, or support requests.
• Contact data: email address, phone number, and mailing address.
• Account and profile data: username, profile details, onboarding survey answers, referral codes, task participation history, and submission review status.
• Financial and tax data: PayPal, Wise, or Bill.com payment details, taxpayer identification numbers, W-9 or W-8BEN forms, tax residency information, signatures, earnings, payment history, and tax document review status, collected from you or from tax form and e-signature tools (such as Dropbox Sign/HelloSign) used at our direction.
• Task submissions and media: photos, videos, audio recordings, screen recordings, logged hours, written notes, annotations, survey responses, and related metadata captured through your device's camera and microphone or uploaded from your media library when you complete tasks. Submissions may include environmental and household context, room and workspace scenes, and object interactions.
• Device and technical data: device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, app version, IP address, browser type, login timestamps, pages viewed, session duration, and cookies, collected automatically.
• Geolocation data: approximate location and country derived from your IP address, used for eligibility verification and fraud prevention. We do not collect precise GPS location.
• Communications: messages with our team, support tickets, and emails.
• Push notification tokens: device tokens collected if you enable push notifications.

We use referral codes and referral attribution records to administer referral rewards, calculate eligible referral payouts, enforce program caps, and detect self-referrals, duplicate-account abuse, or other misuse of the referral program.

2. How We Use Your Data

We process personal data to:

• create and manage your account and operate task offers;
• review submissions, calculate earnings, and process payouts;
• collect and verify tax documentation, meet bookkeeping, tax reporting, and withholding obligations, and confirm payment eligibility;
• detect and prevent fraud, location misrepresentation, duplicate accounts, and abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service;
• assemble, curate, label, and deliver datasets from task submissions for the Company and client brands, including for artificial intelligence and machine learning training, fine-tuning, model evaluation, robotics, computer vision, simulation, safety testing, research, product development, and related commercial purposes;
• present newsletter recommendations during sign-up or onboarding and complete subscriptions you choose, including through providers similar to SparkLoop or Beehiiv;
• send operational notices, payment confirmations, marketing communications, and required legal disclosures;
• analyze Platform usage, improve our services, and develop new features; and
• comply with laws and respond to lawful requests by public authorities.

We rely on at least one of these legal bases: performance of a contract, legitimate interests that do not override your rights, compliance with a legal obligation, or your consent where required.

Camera and Microphone

Camera and microphone data is captured only when you actively use in-app capture features and grant permission through your device settings. You may revoke permissions at any time, but doing so will limit your ability to complete tasks.

3. AI and Machine Learning Use of Task Submissions

Task submissions and data collection materials may be used by the Company and by client brands for AI and machine learning purposes under the license described in our Terms of Service, including model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, robotics, computer vision, simulation, and dataset assembly and licensing. Once your materials are incorporated into datasets, trained models, or derived outputs, they cannot be fully withdrawn or deleted, and deletion rights do not extend to that data except where required by applicable law. De-identified and aggregated data may be retained and used indefinitely.

4. Sharing Your Information

• Service providers: cloud hosting, analytics, payment processors, e-signature and tax form tools, customer support, and email service providers, who use your data only as instructed by us.
• Client brands: if you participate in a task run for a client, we may share your submissions and related information needed by the client to operate, evaluate, pay for, or use the task, including videos, images, audio, environmental context, task demonstrations, metadata, annotations, and survey responses for the AI/ML and research purposes described above. Personally identifiable data is shared when required to fulfill the task, comply with legal obligations, or administer payments or disputes.
• Newsletter recommendation providers: if you choose to subscribe to a recommended third-party newsletter, we share your email address and related onboarding metadata needed to complete that subscription with the recommendation platform, publisher, or delivery provider. Some recommendations may be compensated placements.
• Professional advisors: accountants, lawyers, tax advisors, auditors, and insurers, under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal compliance: when required by law, subpoena, tax reporting or withholding requirement, government investigation, or to enforce our Terms.
• Business transfers: we may transfer your information to any current or future affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, or as part of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, financing, or similar transaction. The receiving entity must honor this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended.
• With your consent: for any other purpose you approve.

We do not sell personal data.

External Client Platforms

Some tasks may direct you to a client's own website, app, device, or data collection tool. Information you submit directly to that external platform is collected by the client under its own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the client's separate data practices, except to the extent we separately receive that information and process it under this Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We and our partners use cookies, local storage, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic and conversions, detect fraud, and improve security. We use third-party analytics and advertising tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how Workers discover and use the Platform. You can disable cookies in your browser or device settings, but some parts of the Platform may not work properly.

6. Communications

• Email: transactional and service messages are sent automatically. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link; you will still receive transactional and legal notices after unsubscribing.
• Third-party newsletters: if you opt in to a recommended newsletter during sign-up or onboarding, we transmit the information necessary to subscribe you. Those newsletters are governed by the third party's own privacy practices and unsubscribe mechanisms.
• Push notifications: if enabled, we may send alerts about task opportunities, submission reviews, payment confirmations, and other account activity. You can disable push notifications in your device settings.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide the services you requested, meet legal, tax, accounting, and reporting requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our interests. Tax documentation and payment records may be retained as long as reasonably needed for tax, accounting, audit, fraud prevention, and legal recordkeeping obligations, even if you delete your account. Task submissions incorporated into datasets or trained models are retained as described in Section 3. When data is no longer necessary, we delete or anonymize it; de-identified and aggregated data may be retained indefinitely.

If you delete your Amelia account, we permanently remove account access and delete or anonymize personal data that is no longer needed for the Platform. We may retain records tied to submitted work, proof files and metadata, offer participation, earnings, payout history, payment method administration, tax documentation, referral activity, fraud and duplicate-account prevention, support, legal compliance, audits, dispute resolution, and enforcement of our Terms. Retained records may include account identifiers and email address where needed for those purposes.

8. Security

Data is stored on secure servers operated by leading cloud providers. We use encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, backups, and internal policies that restrict access. Tax documents and payment information are treated as sensitive, with access limited to personnel and providers with a business, compliance, payment, or legal need. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures and will handle security incidents as required by applicable law.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access a copy of personal data we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• delete your account in Amelia and request deletion of data that is no longer needed;
• restrict or object to certain processing;
• receive data in a machine-readable format; and
• withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Use the Amelia app to delete your account access. To exercise other privacy rights or ask us to delete additional personal data where permitted by law, email amelia@404studios.co. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Deletion requests are subject to Sections 3 and 7 and applicable legal exceptions. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

10. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

In the preceding 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information, as described in Section 1:

• identifiers (name, email, phone, IP address, device identifiers);
• personal information described in Cal. Civ. Code 1798.80 (address, financial and tax information);
• commercial information (task participation, earnings, payment history);
• audio, electronic, visual, or similar information (task submissions and media);
• internet or network activity (usage and device data);
• approximate geolocation derived from IP address; and
• inferences drawn from the above for fraud prevention and service operation.

These categories are collected from the sources, for the business purposes, and shared with the categories of third parties described in Sections 1, 2, and 4. California residents may request: the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected, the categories of sources, the business purposes for collection, the categories of third parties with whom data is shared, correction of inaccurate information, and deletion of personal information (subject to legal exceptions and Section 3). We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email amelia@404studios.co. Authorized agents may submit requests with signed written permission; we may still require you to verify your identity. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

11. EEA and UK Privacy Rights (GDPR)

PoolHall LLC is the data controller for Worker personal data. Our lawful bases for processing are described in Section 2: performance of a contract (operating tasks and payments), legal obligation (tax and accounting), legitimate interests (fraud prevention, analytics, dataset and product development), and consent (marketing, camera and microphone access, newsletter subscriptions). Personal data is processed in the United States and other countries; where required, international transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful safeguards. In addition to the rights in Section 9, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have infringed your rights.

12. Children

The Platform is intended for individuals aged eighteen years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors, and our Terms prohibit minors from appearing in task submissions. If we learn that we have collected data from someone under eighteen, we will delete it promptly.

13. Third-Party Links

Our Platform and communications may contain links to third-party websites, tools, applications, or services we do not control. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their privacy policies before sharing personal data.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and post the new version here. Your continued use of the Platform after any update means you accept the revised policy.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

This Privacy Policy and any disputes arising under it are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and PoolHall LLC arising out of or relating to this Privacy Policy will be resolved through binding individual arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You and the Company waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. This clause survives termination of this Privacy Policy or your use of the Platform.
