Who We Share Your Data With

RatedForWork does not directly sell personal information in exchange for money.

Information may nevertheless be processed or shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website. These may include hosting providers, security services, analytics providers, spam prevention services, email or contact-form services, consent-management tools, and other technical providers.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, necessary to protect the website or its users, or reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security threats, abuse, or other unlawful activity.

Depending on applicable privacy law, certain analytics or advertising-related activities may be legally defined as “sharing” even when personal information is not sold for money. Where required, appropriate privacy choices are made available through the site’s consent and opt-out tools.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate and secure the website, to maintain appropriate business or technical records, or to comply with legal obligations.

If comments are enabled, comments and associated metadata may be retained so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved appropriately.

Messages submitted through contact forms or email may be retained as needed to respond to inquiries, maintain records, prevent abuse, or resolve disputes.
