3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Third-Party Platforms:

• Job Application Platforms: BidPacer interacts with third-party platforms such as Upwork, Freelancer, and Guru to fetch job listings and submit applications on your behalf. Your data is shared with these platforms only when you choose to apply for a job through BidPacer.

Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in providing our services, such as hosting and data analytics, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

4. Chrome Extension

Extension Functionality: The BidPacer Chrome extension facilitates the transfer of cover letters and job-related answers from the BidPacer application to freelance job application pages on Upwork and Freelancer. It requires specific host permissions to function effectively, including access to the following URLs:

• *://*.upwork.com/nx/proposals/job/*
• *://*.freelancer.com/projects/*
• *://*.freelancer.ca/projects/*
• *://*.freelancer.co.uk/projects/*

Data Handling: The extension operates by injecting scripts into the specified freelance platforms’ job application pages to automate the application process. No additional personal data is collected by the extension beyond what is already stored and processed by the BidPacer application.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Opt-Out: You can opt-out of data collection by discontinuing the use of the BidPacer application and Chrome extension. However, doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of our services.
