Venting Works places great importance on protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you use Venting Works, why it is collected, how it is used and protected, and the rights you have regarding your personal information.
Venting Works is a free directory that allows people looking for home help and people offering home-help services to find and contact one another.
1. Information We Collect
When you create or use a Venting Works account, we may collect information that you provide, including:

- • your telephone number, when you choose to provide it;
- • your profile picture;
- • information you add to your profile or listings;

When you publish a home-help provider profile or an available position, we also collect the information you choose to include in the listing, such as the services offered or requested, geographic area, availability, rate or compensation, number of hours, languages spoken or requested, and desired start date.
Certain technical information necessary for the operation and security of the website may also be processed, including your IP address, information about your browser or device, and login data.
2. Information You Choose to Make Public
Venting Works is a public directory. Information you choose to include in the public portions of your profile or listings may therefore be viewed by visitors and other users of the website.
When a telephone number is added to a listing and the user chooses to make it accessible, it may be displayed to visitors through a button provided for this purpose.
We recommend that you do not publish sensitive, confidential, or unnecessary personal information in your listing.
You are responsible for the information you voluntarily choose to make public on your profile or in a listing.
3. How We Use Personal Information
Personal information collected by Venting Works is used to:

We do not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected unless permitted by law or appropriate consent has been obtained.
4. Communications Between Users
Venting Works allows users to communicate directly with one another through contact forms integrated into the directory.
When a user uses a contact form to communicate with someone who has published a listing, the information provided through that form is used to transmit the communication to the intended recipient.
Venting Works is not a party to agreements entered into between users as a result of these communications.
We recommend that you do not provide particularly sensitive or confidential information in an initial message.
