Overview
Openhour respects your privacy. This policy explains what we do with your information when you contact us or take part in remote tasks through the platform.
1. What we collect
Only what is needed, and nothing before you message us.
- Direct information: first name, last name, WhatsApp or email contact, state, the hours you can give.
- Payment details: requested only after a task is approved, to pay you — never on this website.
- Technical data: IP address, browser and a device identifier, used to prevent fraud and duplicate accounts.
- Your choice of task type on the home page is stored only in your browser (sessionStorage) and, if you message us, sent along so we know what you came for.
2. Why we use it
Your data is used only to:
- match you with suitable remote tasks;
- pay you after a task is approved;
- keep the platform secure and limit abusive duplicate accounts.
3. Location
We check a general area from your IP address to confirm US residence. We never use GPS or track your movements.
4. Who else sees it
Openhour does not sell your personal information. Sharing is limited to:
- Payment providers, only to make transfers for approved tasks.
- Authorities, only where the law requires it.
- WhatsApp (Meta Platforms): if you choose to message us on WhatsApp, that conversation is subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy. Email is available if you prefer.
5. Advertising measurement
If you arrived from an advertisement, an advertising click identifier may be passed along when you message us so that the advertiser can measure that the ad led to a real conversation. It contains no personal details. You can clear it by clearing your browser's session storage.
6. Your California privacy choices
California residents may ask what we collect, request deletion, and opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information — we do neither. Write to the contact address in the footer; we respond within the time the law allows and never discriminate for exercising a right.
7. Security and retention
Encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS) and access limited to authorized staff. We keep data for as long as needed to handle your application and payments, then delete or anonymize it.
8. Under 18s
The service is for adults only. Accounts and data found to belong to anyone under 18 are deleted.
