TIDY (including Tidy Services, Inc. and its affiliates) respects your privacy and is committed to protect the personal information of its users - property managers, service providers, collaborators and other visitors browsing the TIDY Software (“Users”) as well as affiliates, influencers and other collaborators interacting with TIDY. This Privacy Policy governs your use of the TIDY Software from the website, the mobile applications, the API, or any integration (collectively referred to as the “TIDY Software”). We believe that you have a right to know our practices regarding the information we collect when you visit and/or use the TIDY Software. This Policy explains our privacy practices for the TIDY Software and services provided by TIDY as well as privacy practices that apply to affiliates, influencers and other collaborators who are individuals. By accessing and/or using the TIDY Software and its related sites, applications, services, goods and/or registering for a TIDY account and/or using it as a collaborator to share comments on a specific project and/or registering to our affiliate or influencer or similar program, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy, including to our collection, use, disclosure, processing and retention of personal information. You can also learn how to limit sharing of information in this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you register to the TIDY Software, use it, complete forms, or use it as collaborator, and/or and/or register to our affiliate or influencer or similar program, we ask you to provide certain personal information, including a valid email address. We will also ask you to provide or otherwise collect additional information that you provide us, such as, your profile details, physical address or billing information, telephone number or other contact details, financial information (such as payment method and credit card number), taxpayer information and forms, any additional information as required by applicable laws, as mutually requested by Users and Service providers, or as required to provide the TIDY Software and its related features. We also collect information about your communications with TIDY as well as communication with other users of TIDY.

We also collect information while you access, browse, view or otherwise use the TIDY Software. In other words, when you access the TIDY Software we are aware of your usage of the TIDY Software, and gather, collect and record the information relating to such usage, including geo-location information, IP address, device and connection information, browser information and web-log information, and all communications recorded by Users through the TIDY Software. We use that information to enhance user experience, personalize your browsing experience as well as monitor the TIDY Software for preventing fraud and providing features to Users and Service Providers. We also collect supplemental information obtained from third parties such as demographic and navigation data, if applicable. We combine your personal information with information we collect automatically or obtain from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising and/or to prevent fraud.

Once you register, your information may be made visible to other users of the TIDY Software as needed to work on your behalf. This information includes information needed by a Service Provider to fulfill a Service Request or information needed by a User to make a Service request. Whenever possible and permitted by law, you may remove information from your profile. By default, in order to protect your privacy, TIDY shall limit the information available to other parties to that which is generally considered necessary to use the TIDY Software, make Service Requests, accept Service Requests, fulfill a Service request, or to use another feature in the software

2. How Do We Collect Information?

Information we collect from other sources - We receive information from third party vendors and/or other commercially available sources, such as:

3. How Do We Use The Information Collected?

  • the processing is necessary to support our legitimate interests as a business (e.g. to improve our services to you), subject to your interests and fundamental rights and provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate.

We will use your personal information for the following purposes:

We conduct certain behavioural analytics to achieve the above objectives and in limited cases, if we detect activity that we think poses a risk to TIDY, other users, our community, or third parties, automated processes may restrict or limit your ability to use TIDY. If you would like to challenge any such decision, please contact us at privacy@TIDY.com.

While TIDY strives to protect your privacy and we require our Users to keep the information shared with them confidential, TIDY cannot ensure that all Users will do so and it is your responsibility to ensure that other users will comply with your standards.
