Last Updated May 21, 2018
1. Introduction
Welcome to the 2CarPros website (“Site”). 2CarPros INC (“2CarPros”, “we”, “us”,
and/or “our”) operates this Site to provide our users (“you” and “your”) with
information about 2CarPros and its platform.
2CarPros is used by professional mechanics (“Experts”) who wish to offer their
services (“Services”) and Users who need the Services (“Users”). Experts that
have passed our screening process and are admitted to our network of
professional mechanics (“Network”) are referred to as “Talent”. For purposes of
this policy the term “Experts” is broader in scope and includes both Talent and
Experts who are not Talent. The Personal Data we receive from Experts and Users
and how we handle it differs, so we explain our data practices for Experts and
Users in two distinct sections below.
2. Scope
This Privacy Policy sets out how 2CarPros collects, retains, and uses
information, including personal data (“Personal Data”), about Experts, Users,
other Site visitors and individuals, including our vendors, partners, blog
readers, and job applicants, as well as users of 2CarPros software offerings.
This Privacy Policy also covers data that 2CarPros collects in-person, for
instance at business conferences and trade shows.
3. Experts
3.1. Information We Collect
A. Information That You Provide To Us
When you apply as a Expert on the Site, you are asking to be admitted to our
Network. In order to admit you to the Network and match your qualifications with
our User’s needs, we need to perform a screening process, which evaluates your
language skills, personality, domain-specific knowledge, competence and
professionalism. We may also need to screen potential Experts for specific
technical skills, as required by our Users. In this context, you will be asked
to provide information about yourself, which includes:
your name
contact information
address
location
work experience
education
photo
social network information
family information
billing information
Our provider of background check services may collect additional data about you
(including information about criminal convictions or offences) if and when we
undertake vetting / background checks. If applicable to you, your consent to the
collection of such additional data will be solicited at such time, pursuant to
applicable laws.
When you participate in the community of 2CarPros’s experts on our Site, we will
collect the information that you elect to share in that context.
We will use certain of your Personal Data to enable you to create a profile to
be displayed within the Services; this profile is searchable and may be viewed
by Users seeking Experts.
Once you are admitted to the Network and you are matched with a User, we will
receive from our Users information regarding the performance of your services to
that User, as necessary for maintaining standards of integrity and excellence in
our Network.
