Privacy Policy

Turn Technologies, Inc. Last Updated: March 18, 2026. 

(“Turn,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of Consumers, Partners, and all other Visitors to and users of our website at or any later website (“Sites”), mobile applications (“Apps”), products, APIs, consumer report, worker-sourcing and other services (“Services”). We’re also committed to providing you a rich, intensive experience when you use our Services and are always working to make them better. One way we do this is by analyzing the information that we collect to learn, for instance, how to improve your experience, or what opportunities might interest you. This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) explains what data we collect, how we use it, and under what limited circumstances we share it; all of which will depend on your use of Turn’s Services. Depending on how you use the Sites, Apps, or Services, you may be considered a:

• Consumer: Individuals who intend to order, order, or use our Services, including any person to whom Turn has provided Services or on-demand workers for whom Turn may run a consumer report.
• Partner: Companies that have engaged in any business with Turn, including those that have contracted to use, or have agreed to test, Turn’s Services.
• Visitor: Individuals, businesses, groups, or anyone else that visits our Sites or Apps.

1. What information does Turn collect?

1.1. Consumer Information

Turn may collect the following information from Consumers when they interact with or use the Services:

• Contact information, including phone number, email and home address.
• Education information, such as degrees, certifications, academic records, and other qualifications.
• Employment information, including previous employers, roles and employee record information.

• Geolocation information – if you turn these features on, when you use your mobile device, we will collect information about Wi-Fi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you. This information helps us to identify your physical location and we may use it to personalize the App and make it easier for you to interact with opportunities, by enabling the information to be displayed and shared with other members choosing to view “nearby” posts. If using our mobile application and you have enabled location services, but wish to turn them off, you can do so through your mobile’s settings
• Additional information or supporting documentation you provide in connection with our Services, including your communications with Turn and your digital signature.

Certain Services require the collection of information from third parties, including Partners. Third-party information may include both public and private records as described below.

• Public Records: Turn may collect public records bearing on a Consumer where appropriately authorized, including civil, and criminal court records and documentation.
• Private Records: Where appropriately authorized, Turn may obtain private records, including educational, employment, financial, and drug test records.
• Work metrics: Turn may collect information from Partners regarding a worker’s tenure, cumulative earnings, or task completion information. This information is used to populate worker profiles.

1.2. Partner Information

• Account and user credential information, including name, email, roles and associated permissions.

• Payment information, including credit card and/or bank account information and billing information. Please note we do not store the credit card or bank account numbers you may use to make payments for Services.
• Device information, including unique device identifier, device model, operating system, and MAC address. In addition, if you permit us to do so, the mobile application may access your device’s address book solely to add someone to your contacts.
• Geolocation information – if you turn these features on when you use your mobile, we will collect information about Wi-Fi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you. This information helps us to identify your physical location and we may use it to personalize the mobile application and make it easier for you to interact with on-demand work opportunities by enabling the information to be displayed and shared with other members choosing to view “nearby” posts. If using our mobile application and you have enabled location services but wish to turn them off, you can do so through your mobile’s settings.

Partner-user credentials and information about any account you set up with Turn may also be collected by third parties or Turn affiliates. For example, persons may offer our Services on third-party marketplace platforms.

1.3. Visitor Information

Certain information may be collected when individuals visit our Site or use our App. This includes both manually submitted and automatically collected information. Visitors may have opportunities to submit information directly to Turn, including through information requests and in-browser chats with Turn agents. Visitors may be asked to provide Turn with basic information including name, email address, and general business information. We may collect information about your device when you use the App, including the unique device identifier, device model, operating system, and MAC address. In addition, if you permit us to do so, the mobile application may access your device’s address book to add someone to your contacts.

1.4. Automatically Collected Information

When Consumers, Partners, or other Visitors use any of our Services, Turn automatically gathers certain technical and usage information. This technical and usage information (“Technical Information”) may include information on when, how often, and for how long you use our Services, and server log data such as:

• IP address, browser type, device type, location information, local storage information on your device, operating system and version, or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Services.
• Cookies or similar technologies to identify your device or browser. Information we collect when you use our Services, in addition to information we obtain about you from our Partners or other third parties, may be associated with any account that you set up with Turn. We treat information associated with such Turn Account as personal information.

You may register with Turn directly or by logging into your account with a third-party social networking service (“ SNS”) (e.g., Facebook, Google, and other third-party services that let you sign in using your existing credentials with those services). If you choose to register via an SNS, or to later link any account with Turn to your account with an SNS, we will use the personal information you have provided to the SNS to create your account. Note that the information we collect from and through an SNS may depend on the privacy settings you have set with the SNS and the permissions you grant to us in connection with linking your Turn account to your SNS account. Other than what we may share with the SNS as described below in the Social Networking Content section below, the personal information an SNS has about you is obtained by the SNS independent of our Services, and Turn is not responsible for it.

1.5. Contacts

You may choose to provide us with your friends’ contact information, including their names, phone numbers, and email addresses as stored on your phone. We ask your permission before syncing your contacts, and you can use the App without giving it access to your contacts. Our automatic algorithms suggest people to invite to join Turn but we do not contact anyone in your phone’s contact list without your permission. Other than our Service Providers that we describe below, we do not share your contacts with third parties unless required to do so in response to valid legal requests, such as through a court order or search warrant. 1.6. UNLESS YOU REQUEST THAT WE DELETE CERTAIN INFORMATION (SEE SECTION 6.4 BELOW), WE RETAIN THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FOR AT LEAST SIX YEARS AND MAY RETAIN THE INFORMATION FOR AS LONG AS NEEDED FOR OUR BUSINESS AND LEGAL PURPOSES.

Turn may use your information to create Consumer and Partner account credentials, to verify users’ identities before granting access to account information, to validate against existing information maintained by Turn, to protect against duplicate or unauthorized account creation, to secure the Sites, Apps and Services, and to address fraud, abuse or safety concerns. We also use your information to detect security incidents; protect against malicious, deceptive, or illegal activity; and prosecute those responsible for that activity.

2.2. Information that does not identify an individual or cannot otherwise be reasonably linked or connected with them is not considered personal information.

Personal information may be aggregated or anonymized to become non-personal information. We may collect, use, and share such non-personal information about Consumers; Partners; and other Visitors, without limitation, including sharing with third parties. 2.3. In some instances, Turn applies software algorithms and machine-learning techniques to information collected from Consumers, Partners, and other Visitors. For example, we apply automated compliance filtering to data collected from third parties to ensure that we are complying with all applicable reporting laws and responsibilities.

Turn may disclose certain collected information where, in good faith, we believe that the law or legal process (such as a court order, search warrant or subpoena) requires us to do so or, in other circumstances, where we believe it is necessary to protect the rights or property of Turn. Additionally, we may share non-personal information publicly and with our Partners or potential partners like publishers, advertisers, investors or connected websites. For example, we may share non-public information publicly to show trends about the general use of our Services.

4. Does this Policy apply to third parties or third-party links?

Our Services may contain links to other websites. If you choose to click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. We don’t exercise control over third-party websites and are not responsible for how these websites collect, share, or use your information. Because Turn has no control over the privacy practices or content of these linked sites, we encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit, including any third parties you interact with on our website. Our Services may interact with a third-party website, service, or other content provider, such as enabling you to “like” or share content to a third-party SNS. Your interactions with third parties through an SNS or similar features are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.

5. Cookies and other tracking technologies

We, our third-party service providers, advertisers or our Partners may also use “web beacons” or clear gifs, tags and scripts, or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a web page, to analyze, collect and aggregate data about your use of our Services. For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page. Turn uses various cookie-based analytics services. Editing your tracking and cookie preferences will limit analytic tracking. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, as an example, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Web Beacons. We, our third-party service providers, advertisers or our Partners may also use “web beacons” or clear gifs, tags and scripts, or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a web page, to analyze, collect and aggregate data about your use of our Services. For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page. Do Not Track Policy. At this time, the Services do not currently respond to “do not track” browser headers. But you can take steps to limit tracking by erasing cookies from your computer’s hard drive and by setting your browser to block all cookies or warn you before a cookie is stored. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Services because they may not function properly without cookies.
