This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices of Agilea Solutions, Inc. a Nevada corporation with a business division entitled Workerbee (“Workerbee”) and the possible uses of the information that we gather via https://www.myworkerbee.com/ (“Website”) and via other submissions by You as a Customer (“Customer”) hiring a Specialist or as a Specialist (“Specialist”) seeking to provide services to a Customer (collectively referred to for both Customer and Specialist, as the case may be, as “You”) to Workerbee (together, the “Site and Services”). By using the Site and Services You consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If You do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, including having Your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information” as defined below) used in any of the ways described in this Privacy Policy, You may not be able to use certain parts or features of our Site and Services, and in some instances, this may necessitate the revocation of Your Account.
Workerbee may update this Privacy Policy from time-to-time in our sole discretion. It is Your responsibility as a User of our Site and Services (“User”) to review the Privacy Policy for any changes each time that You use the Site and Services and You are bound by such changes. Your use of the Site and Services after we have posted a new privacy policy on our Site signifies that You agree to and accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
This Privacy Policy applies to the entire Workerbee array of services, such as our website. This Privacy Policy is part of our Workerbee’s Specialist Agreement, the Customer’s Terms of Use, the Legal Disclaimer and General Terms of Use, and all other terms of using our Site and Services.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Workerbee collects information on our Users in various ways, such as, by voluntary submissions, participation in services provided via the Site and Services and through cookie and other tracking technology. Workerbee collects the following information:
-Personal Information
“Personal Information” refers to information that tells us specifically who You are, such as the name of Your business, the primary contact person for Your business, any profile picture, postal address, principal place of business (State / country), email address(es), languages, availability, software expertise, work experience and other account information. Email is stored but not displayed publicly. In many cases, we need this information to provide to You many of the services that You may have requested as a Customer or as a Specialist.
-Submission of Reviews, Ratings, and Comments
We collect information that our Customer’s voluntarily provide as part of our Site and Services, including messages, posts, comments, responses, reviews, and ratings they submit through the Site and Services, as well as any messages, posts, comments, responses our Specialists submit (“User Generated Content”). Workerbee may in our sole discretion share this User Generated Content with others such as for Specialist business reviews. If You do not want certain information shared with others, You should not submit User Generated Content, or should not submit User Generated Content that contains information or Personal Information You do not want shared in this manner. Once You have submitted User Generated Content, we reserve the right to publish it in any medium to others.
-Aggregate Information
We may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site and Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they click on. This information represents a generic overview of our Users, including their collective viewing habits, and allows us to modify information, promotions, offers and/or discounts on services based on User traffic and behavior. We collect this information through the use of technologies such as ‘cookies’ and web beacons, which are discussed in greater detail below. We collect this information in order to help enhance the Site and Services to make for a better visitor experience.
-Third Party Information
We may supplement information You provide to us with information from other sources, such as information to validate or update Your account and related submissions. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, to enable us to fulfill our services, to target our communications so that we can inform You of services and offers that may be of interest, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes consistent with our mission.
-Cookies
Workerbee may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information and data through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files a website uses to recognize repeat Users, facilitate the User’s ongoing access to the website and facilitate the use of the website. Cookies also allow a website to track usage behavior and compile site usage information that will allow for the improvement of content and target advertising. Most browsers allow You to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set Your browsers to notify You if You receive a cookie, or You may choose to block cookies with Your browser. However, please be aware that some features of our Site and Services may not function or may be slower if You refuse cookies. You may also get cookies from our advertisers or other third parties with links on the Site as described below. We do not directly control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third party ad servers is standard in the Internet industry.
-Other Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; the MAC address or other technical information from Your mobile device; location information through GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or similar technologies; and dates and times that our Site and Services are accessed. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer whenever You are surfing the web. Web servers, the computers that ‘serve up’ webpages, automatically identify Your computer by its IP address. The Site and Services may also use technology called “tracer tags”. These may also be referred to as “Pixels”, “Clear GIFs” or “Web Beacons”. This technology allows us to understand which pages You visit on our Site and other ways You interact with our Site and Services, such as submissions made through the Site and Services. These tracer tags are used to help us to optimize and tailor our Site and Services for You and other Users of our Site and Services. We may link the information we record using tracking technologies to Personal Information we collect.
-Do Not Track
Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that Users can set in some web browsers, allowing Users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals and therefore, Workerbee and the Site do not recognize DNT.
