- Location data is only collected with explicit worker consent

- Location data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
- Data is only used for shift matching purposes and is never sold to third parties
- Workers can disable location sharing at any time from their privacy settings
We comply with all relevant data protection regulations, including GDPR, and provide full transparency about how worker data is used.
