a. Information You Provide to Us

When you use the Service, you may provide us with information about you. This may include your name and contact information, financial information to make or receive payment for services obtained through the SnowPay platform, or information to help us fill out tax forms. When you use the Service, we may also collect information related to your use of the Service and aggregate this with information about other users. This helps us improve our Services for you. You may also provide us with information about your contacts or friends if, for example, you'd like to add those contacts to a message room. Agencies may also provide us with information about Freelancers associated with the Agency.

b. Non-Identifying Information and De-Identified Information

• Non-Identifying Information/Usernames: We also may collect other information that does not identify you directly, such as zip codes, demographic data, information about your use of the Service, and general project-related data (“Non-Identifying Information”). We may combine information collected from SnowPay users, whether they are registered or not (SnowPay Users”). In some cases, we may render Personal Information (generally, email address) into a form of Non-Identifying Information referred to in this Privacy PoListItemcy as “Hashed Information.” This is typically accompListItemshed using a mathematical process (commonly known as a hash function) to convert information into a code. While the code does not identify you directly, it may be used by SnowPay's partners to connect your activity and interests.
• Combination of Personal and Non-Identifying Information: We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information, but SnowPay will treat the combined information as Personal Information. De-Identified Information: We may also de-identify or aggregate information and convert it into non-personal
• De-Identified Information: We may also de-identify or aggregate information and convert it into non-personal information so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you (“De-Identified Information”). We may use De-Identified Information for any of the purposes described in the “We Use Information We Collect” section below. We will maintain and use De-Identified Information in de-identified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except to confirm our de-identification processes or unless required by law.

Like other online companies, we receive technical information when you use our Services.

d. Work Diaries and Work View

With your permission, we collect information about a Freelancer's work for a Client, including automatically collected information about work on a particular project. If a Freelancer enables Work Diaries, we will share Work Diaries with the relevant Client and Agency. We tell Freelancers when we are capturing information for the Work Diary and allow Freelancers to block such data sharing.
As part of the Service, when enabled by a Freelancer, we collect information about a Freelancer's work on a project for a Client, including information that may be considered personal information. This feature is known as Work Diary. Work Diaries include information provided by the Freelancer, such as a memo, as well as automatically gathered information about work on a project, such as number of mouseclicks and keyboard strokes and regularly taken screenshots (which may include a webcam picture of you if you have enabled this feature in your settings). In order to use Work Diaries, you must download and install the Team App software from snowpay.xyz.
We will share information contained in Work Diaries with the relevant Client and with any manager or administrator of any applicable Freelancer Agency. We inform Freelancers each time we capture information for Work Diary. As set forth in our Terms of Service, End User License Agreement, and help pages on the Site, a Freelancer may choose to block or delete the screen shot and associated data for a recorded work interval, but then the Freelancer may not be paid for that work interval.
