Privacy Policy
1. Data Sovereignty & Ownership
At TaskVerified, we believe you should own your work. While we provide platform storage via Cloudflare R2, we offer "Sovereign Storage" integrations with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If enabled, your task deliverables are archived directly to your private cloud. This ensures you maintain absolute ownership and control over your data, independent of our platform, while also helping you manage storage costs.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to facilitate secure, audit-ready freelancer engagements:
- ●Identity Data: Name, email address, and profile image (via Clerk).
- ●Professional Data: Role titles, bios, skills, and self-reported rates.
- ●Compliance Data: Tax residency, entity type, and tax identifiers (SSN/VAT/PAN) required for legal invoicing and tax reporting.
- ●CRM & Rating Data: Private notes, performance tags, and internal ratings maintained by employers for their rostered freelancers.
- ●Transaction Data: Milestone details, payment statuses, and SHA-256 verification hashes.
- ●Communication Data: Telegram Chat ID and verified phone number (mandatory for account security and real-time project pulses).
- ●Audit Data: Device fingerprints and IP addresses used solely for security, fraud prevention (VULN-9 mitigation), and tamper-proof audit trails.
- ●AI Analytics Profile: Compiled metadata used by our recommendation engine to match skills with project requirements (stored in aiProfileCache).
3. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used to:
- ●Maintain forensic-grade audit trails of work submissions.
- ●Generate legally compliant invoices between employers and freelancers.
- ●Enforce "The Robot PM" automated success criteria (file type validation, word counts, etc.).
- ●Perform Contamination Intelligence scans (plagiarism and AI generation detection via integrated proprietary verification partners).
- ●Ensure payment security via our 5-stage handshake protocol.
- ●Monitor platform integrity using AI-driven friction and risk scoring.
- ●Provide real-time updates through encrypted notification channels (mandatory Telegram integration required for application access and project alerts).

We partner with industry-leading infrastructure providers to ensure system reliability. We do not sell your data to brokers or advertisers.

5. Data Retention & Deletion
Accounts marked for deletion enter a "Soft Delete" state. Associated data and audit trails are retained for 30 days to allow involved parties to export their Verified Output Portfolios and compliance records. After this 30-day grace period, data is scheduled for permanent hard-deletion from our active databases, subject to legal or financial record-keeping requirements.
6. Cookies
We use only essential functional cookies required for authentication and security (managed by Clerk). We do not deploy non-essential marketing, tracking, or advertising cookies.
7. Calendar & External Integrations
TaskVerified provides WebCal feeds for project scheduling. If enabled, the system generates a unique calendar feed secret ensuring your schedule remains private. Integrating external storage (Google Drive/OneDrive) grants the platform permission to write files to specific app-folders on your behalf.
8. Contact & Legal Entity
TaskVerified is operated from Varanasi, India. For privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your data rights (access, rectification, or erasure), please contact our Data Protection Office at privacy@taskverified.com.
