What form of requests does UpApp require, and how are requests processed?

We review each subpoena or data request for facial and substantive validity, and will assert appropriate objections to requests that are not facially and substantively valid. Among other things, we require requests to be narrowly tailored and not overly broad, vague, or unduly burdensome. Please also be advised that services provider  are not employees of UpApp, but rather independent third-parties. Therefore, we do not verify or provide any employment history or personnel files for these individuals.

Before making a request seeking the information of a user of UpApp’s technology, you should seek the information directly through the user account. For instance, all active services providers can access earnings statements, tax forms, individual trip services provide data, and all contracts via their “Service Provider Portal at the UpApp app”, which can be accessed through the UpApp app or via the UPAPP website. Services provider  and Eater receipts are available in-app and emailed after each service requested is done. All users (including at UpApp listed) also have access to all information through the DOWNLOAD YOUR DATA TOOL. If a service provider person no longer has an active UpApp account, then they may submit a request for the information through HERE.

If all other attempts to obtain the information have failed, the following should be included in your request

  • A sufficiently narrow/defined time period, and the specific data requested within that time period
  • A specific identifying reference such as the email address or phone number associated with a user’s account (i.e., you must uniquely identify a user by more than just a name)
  • Your contact information (i.e., name, email address, and phone number)

UpApp Community Guidelines

They apply to everyone who uses UpApp’s Platform, including but not limited to CLEANER, BABYSITTER, GARDENERS, ADULT CARER, DOG WALKER, DOG KEPPER, GARDEN KEPPER,  KEYS MANAGEMENT, and businesses in the United Kingdom. It also includes interactions you may have with UpApp employees and contractors, through online support systems, or over the phone. These guidelines are not contractual terms and we may amend the content of the same at any time.

The Guidelines have the following structure:

  • PART 1 – Purpose
  • PART 2 – Guidelines applicable to all users of the UpApp Platform
  • PART 3 – Additional guidelines
  • PART 4 – Additional guidelines

Thank you for joining us in supporting and safeguarding a welcoming environment.

 

PART 1

What is the purpose of these Guidelines?

The guidelines below help explain some of the specific kinds of positive community engagement we expect from users on the UpApp Platform, as well as the behaviours or circumstances which may cause you to lose access to the UpApp Platform. The following guidelines—which we’ll update from time to time—provide the basis for behaviour we expect from all in the UpApp community. Not following any one of our guidelines can constitute a material breach or violation of the terms of your agreement with UpApp and may result in the loss of access to part or all of the UpApp Platform. Please remember to check these guidelines before you use the UpApp Platform.

In some instances, our guidelines apply to conduct outside the UpApp Platform that we become aware of, including but not limited to information from other platforms or local regulators, when such conduct may threaten the safety of the UpApp Platform and its users.

The guidelines that apply to you depend on your use of the UpApp Platform. Please take a moment to carefully read the sections below that are applicable to you.

PART 2

Guidelines for all of us

Everyone who uses the UpApp Platform is required to follow the general guidelines set out in this Part (Part 2). There are also additional guidelines in Parts 3 below that may be applicable depending on your use of the UpApp Platform. Please make sure you also review these sections, as applicable.

Treat everyone with respect

Our community is remarkably services provider sole trader or limited companies and it’s likely you will encounter people who might not look like you or share your beliefs. Please respect those differences. The guidelines in this section help to foster respectful and positive interactions during every experience.

Treat everyone in the UpApp community as you would like to be treated yourself: with respect. The actions you take while using the UpApp Platform can have a big impact on the safety and comfort of others contractors. Courtesy matters. That’s why you are expected to exercise good judgement and behave decently toward other people when using the UpApp Platform and interacting with others in the UpApp community—just as you would in any public place or at your home.

We believe that everyone should feel supported and welcomed when interfacing with others in the UpApp community. That’s why we’ve created standards and policies on physical contact, sexual assault and misconduct, threatening and rude behaviour, post-experience contact, discrimination, and property damage.

Physical contact

Don’t touch strangers or anyone you just met while using the UpApp Platform to hire your services. Limited exceptions are permitted for people needing or requesting physical assistance (for example, adult carer) or when limited physical contact is unavoidable. Hurting or intending to hurt anyone is never allowed.

Sexual assault and misconduct

We all value our personal space and privacy. It’s okay to chat with other people at the place you providing a service. But please don’t comment on someone’s appearance or ask about their relationship status. Sexual assault and sexual misconduct of any kind is prohibited. Sexual assault and misconduct refers to sexual contact or behaviour without explicit consent of the other person.

Personal space and privacy should be respected. The following list provides examples of inappropriate conduct, but is not exhaustive:

  • Do not ask personal questions (for example, about relationship status or sexual orientation)
  • Do not comment on appearance (for example, derogatory or “complimentary” comments)
  • Do not make explicit comments or gestures (for example, slurs, or graphic or suggestive messages)
  • Do not flirt (for example, nonverbal, suggestive flirting, or being too physically close)
  • Do not display indecent material (for example, sexually suggestive objects or pictures)
  • Do not make unwelcome sexual advances or behave suggestively (even if you may perceive your actions as being harmless), including hugging, kissing, propositioning or inappropriately exposing yourself
  • Do not engage in any unwanted physical conduct including touching, pinching, pushing and grabbing
  • Do not make others feel uncomfortable, including through staring or extended eye contact
  • UpApp has a no-sex rule regardless of whether you know the person or they give you their consent

Threatening and rude behaviour

Aggressive, confrontational, or harassing behaviour is not allowed. Don’t use language, make gestures, or take actions that could be disrespectful, threatening, or inappropriate. For example, don’t share graphic images (such as those that are sexually explicit or depict physical violence) with others in the UpApp community; this includes unsolicited sharing of such images through UpApp’s online support systems or in connection with an UpApp Platform experience. It is also a good idea to stay away from personal topics that can potentially be divisive, like religion and political beliefs.

We don’t tolerate any threatening or rude behaviour, including toward the UpApp Support team or at Greenlight Hubs.

Post-experience contact

Contact should end when the experience associated with the UpApp Platform is complete, unless it’s to return or receive a lost item. Unwanted contact can be seen as harassment and includes, for example, texting, calling, social media contact, visiting, or trying to visit someone in person after a the job is done or has been completed. Do not share any unnecessary contact information.

Discrimination

You should always feel safe, respected and welcome. That’s why we don’t tolerate discriminatory conduct or behaviour, including toward the UpApp Support team. Do not discriminate against someone based on traits such as their age, colour, disability, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, national origin, appearance, race, religion or belief, political views, sex, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected under relevant law.

For example, it is unacceptable and unlawful to:

  • Refuse to provide services based on characteristics like a person’s age, colour, disability, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, national origin, appearance, race, religion or belief, political views, sex, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected under relevant law. Applicable laws may require and/or allow the provision of services by and for the benefit of a specific category of persons. In such cases, services as required or allowed by these laws and the relevant applicable terms are permissible under these guidelines.
  • Rate another user—whether  or businesses—based on these traits.
  • Discriminate on the basis of an any contractor or service provider. We understand how important it is to fit service around your life, rather than the other way around. It is not a violation of these guidelines to decline a service because it does not work for you. But intentionally refusing or cancelling requests, or using features on the UpApp Platform to avoid receiving jobs or requests, solely for the purpose of avoiding a particular neighbourhood or client due to the characteristics of the people or businesses that are located in that area, is not allowed.

You can learn more about UpApp’s Non-Discrimination policy.

We also want to help increase access  service options.

Property damage

Damaging property is never allowed. Some examples include damaging any goods or other mode of service requested through the UpApp Platform, breaking or vandalising any goods, damaging a merchant’s premises or otherwise. If you damage property – outside of normal wear and tear – you’re responsible for the cost of cleaning and repair fees.

Your feedback matters

If something happens, whether it’s good or bad, we make it easy for you to tell us directly in the app or by contacting the UpApp Support team. You can tap Help in the app or visit the website so that our Support team can follow up. In case of an emergency or if you find yourself in immediate danger, alert your local authorities or emergency services before notifying UpApp. Our team is continuously improving our standards, and your feedback is important so that we can take appropriate action and keep our standards relevant as our technology evolves.

You can choose to rate your experience at the end of each job done. Honest feedback helps ensure that everyone is accountable for their behaviour and can improve the experience for other users too. This accountability helps create a respectful, safe and positive environment.

Ratings

All services provider, and contractors  have the option to give ratings to other users, as well as give feedback on how the job went. This feedback system improves accountability and helps create a respectful, safe, and transparent environment for everyone. Services providers  can see their current rating in the app. Merchants can find their provider rating by signing into UpApp file. Contractors  can see their rating displayed under their name by opening the app and touching the menu.

In circumstances where a contractor’s rating is particularly low, we may contact the contractor, following which we may suspend or terminate the provider or contractor account.

If you’re looking to keep your average rating high, it’s helpful to be courteous and respectful to all people while using the UpApp Platform and interacting with others in the UpApp community. Services providers  using the UpApp Platform typically provide excellent service to their contractor and most services providers are courteous and respectful, so most jobs run smoothly. UpApp may share information that may help you improve your rating from time to time.

Contacting UpApp Support will not lead to an individual rating being removed. We know that sometimes a job doesn’t go well—that’s why your rating is an average rating.

Job or work acceptance

If you’re a services providers and you don’t want to accept a job requests, you can simply decline the request, ignore it, or just go offline or log off. You are not under any obligation to accept a minimum number of jobs. If you’re a merchant, use the Pause New Orders feature or make specific items unavailable. This helps keep the system running smoothly for everyone.

For services providers and merchants, if you consistently decline consecutive jobs or new requests, our technology may assume you do not want to accept more jobs or have forgotten to log out, and you may be temporarily logged out. However, you are free to log back in whenever you wish to begin reviewing any trip requests.

Use of dashcams or CCTV that record video and/or audio

Services providers may choose to install and use a dashcam, which can be used to record jobs and provide evidence to UpApp, law enforcement, or insurance companies in the event that something goes wrong. Please note the following:

  • Contractors entering a with a dashcam may be concerned about how the video, their image, or conversations captured by a dashcam will be used. Some licensing authorities do not allow the use of dashcam or CCTV or require, amongst other things, that a contractor  provides consent to being recorded. Please check the status of laws and applicable regulations in the United Kingdom to understand your responsibilities.

How UpAp enforces our guidelines

Losing access to the UpApp Platform may be disruptive to your life or to your business. That’s why we believe it is important to have clear standards that explain the circumstances in which you may lose access to the UpApp Platform. If you violate any terms of your contractual agreement with UpApp, or any applicable terms or policies, including any one of these guidelines or any additional policies and standards that are communicated by UpApp to you from time to time, you can lose access to all or part of the UpApp Platform. If you have more than one UpApp account, such as a contractor account and a services providers account, violating these guidelines could also lead you to lose access to all UpApp accounts. If you believe an error caused you to lose access to your account, you may contact the UpApp Support team.

UpApp receives feedback through a variety of channels and reviews reports submitted to our Support team which suggest there may have been a violation of these guidelines. UpApp may investigate through a specialised team, or if necessary, law enforcement agencies. If we are made aware of potentially problematic behaviour, we may contact you so we can look into it.

Losing access to all or part of the UpApp Platform can be due to reported violations of these guidelines and certain actions you may take outside of the UpApp Platform. UpApp may receive information from other platforms and local regulators – if we determine that there are actions in those reports which threaten the safety of the UpApp community, our employees, workers and contractors, or cause harm to UpApp’s brand, reputation, or business then access to the UpApp app can be restricted.

This notice applies to users of UpApp’s services anywhere in the world, including users of UpApp’s apps, websites, features, or other services.

III. Data collections and uses

 
 
 
 
 

A. The data we collect

UpApp collects data: 

• provided by users to UpApp, such as during account creation

• created during use of our services, such as location, app usage, and device data

• from other sources, such as other users or account owners, business partners, vendors, insurance and financial solution providers, and governmental authorities

For your convenience, we’ve provided a visual summary of the data we collect and how we use it.

UpApp collects the following data:

1. Data provided by users. This includes:

• User profile information: We collect data when users create or update their UpApp accounts, or place orders via guest checkout features. This may include their name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture, payment or banking information (including related payment verification information), all services providers  ’s license and other government issued documents (which may include identification numbers as well as birth date, gender, and photo). This also includes vehicle or insurance information of persons, emergency contact information, user settings, and evidence of health or fitness to provide services using UpApp apps. 

• Background check information (contractor and services providers): This includes information submitted during the person application process, such as person history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases, prior addresses, and right to work. This information may be collected by an authorized vendor on UpApp’s behalf.

• Identity verification photos: This includes photos of users (such as, selfies) and/or their government issued identifications (such as, all services providers  ’s license or passports). Such photos may be used to verify a user’s identity, such as through facial verification technologies. Please see the section titled “How we use personal data” for more information regarding how user photos are used for safety and security purposes, including identity verification.

• Demographic data: We may collect demographic data about users, such as birth date/age, gender or occupation, when required for certain UpApp services or programs, such as UpApp Cash or safety features that allow women users to set a preference to provide or receive services to/from other women (“Women service  Preference”). We may also collect demographic data, such as age group and household composition, through user surveys, and use this information to offer UpApp products and services that are likely to be of interest to you.

We may also infer demographic data from other data collected from users. For example, we may infer a user’s gender based on their first name to enable safety features, such as the Women contractor Preference, or to display personalized ads for third party products or services. See the section titled “How we use personal data” below for more information.

• User content: We collect the data submitted by users when they contact UpApp customer support (including  via phone chat or video conferencing tools), provide ratings or feedback for other users or otherwise contact UpApp. This may include photographs, or audio or video recordings submitted by users in connection with a customer support request. This also includes metadata relating to the method you use to communicate with UpApp. The contents of photos and recordings submitted by users are subject to UpApp Community Guidelines (except that such guidelines do not apply to users in others countries).

In certain jurisdictions, users can record the audio and/or video of their services  through an in-app feature or using a dashcam or CCTV. In app recordings are encrypted and stored on users’ devices, and are only shared with UpApp if submitted by the users in connection with safety incidents.

• Travel information: We collect travel itinerary information, including times and dates of upcoming services, from users of our feature. We collect such information: (i) when users manually input their information into their UpApp service itinerary; or (2) if authorized by users to access their email account, from travel-related email confirmations. If so authorized, UpApp will only access users’ email accounts to collect service itinerary information to enable the UpApp  feature, and will adhere to the applicable email provider policies, including Google’s API Services User Data Policy, which impose certain limitations on the use of data collected from users’ email accounts. Users may remove UpApp’s access to their email accounts at any time either in-app or through their email service provider settings. Detailed information on how to remove email account access is available.

2. Data created during use of our services. This includes: 

• Location data (contractor and service provider person): We collect precise or approximate location data from service provider and persons’ mobile devices when the UpApp app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen).

• Location data (all users). We collect precise or approximate location information from both and order recipients’ mobile devices if they enable us to do so via their device settings.

UpApp collects such data from the time a service provider or order is requested until it is finished, and any time the app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen). See “Choice and transparency” below for information on how both users  and order recipients can enable precise location data of the work.

all users  and order recipients may use the UpApp apps without enabling service of location data from their mobile devices. However, this may affect certain features in the UpApp apps. For example, a contractor who has not enabled precise location data will have to manually enter their work location.

In addition, precise location data collected from a provider’s device during a job is linked to the provider’s account, even if the contractor has not enabled precise location for the job data to be collected from their device. This data is used for purposes such as receipt generation, customer support, fraud detection, insurance, and litigation.
