Summary

This document establishes TaskRabbit's global privacy policy governing the collection, use, and sharing of personal data across its task-booking and moving platforms, including its Dolly subsidiary, across multiple jurisdictions. The policy authorizes collection of sensitive data categories including government-issued identification documents, social security or tax identification numbers, background check results, and location information, with provisions permitting disclosure to third-party advertisers, service providers, and parties involved in merger or acquisition transactions. Users in California and the EU are granted specific rights to request data access, correction, deletion, and opt-out of certain data sharing practices through a Consumer Rights Request submission portal.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This Global Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information across TaskRabbit, Inc., TaskRabbit Limited, TaskRabbit GmbH, TaskRabbit Poland Sp. z o.o., TaskRabbit Canada Operations, Inc., and Dolly, Inc., covering all regional Platform variants and mobile applications, with the stated legal basis varying by jurisdiction including contract performance, consent, legitimate interests, and legal obligation under GDPR and UK GDPR. The policy states that Taskrabbit collects an expansive range of personal information categories including identity documents, social security and tax identification numbers, background check results including criminal violations, precise location data, device identifiers, biometric-adjacent identity verification data, and user-generated content, and the terms authorize disclosure to service providers for marketing, advertising, data analytics, fraud prevention, and financial transaction fulfillment, as well as to third parties for advertising purposes and in connection with merger or acquisition activity. The advertising disclosure provision states that 'we may share your Personal Information with third parties for advertising purposes' without specifying contractual safeguards on downstream use, and the policy separately acknowledges that 'sale' under the CCPA may encompass advertising technology activities, which represents a materially significant admission regarding the scope of third-party data flows; the merger and acquisition sharing clause applies during negotiations of 'any proposed or actual merger, purchase, or sale of all or any portion of our assets,' which is broader in pre-closing scope than some peer policies, though applicable law may impose limits on what the policy alone can authorize. The policy engages GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA and provincial equivalents), with EEA, UK, and Swiss residents receiving explicit legal basis disclosures and withdrawal rights; California residents receive specific CCPA opt-out rights and direct marketing disclosure rights; Canadian residents are explicitly notified of cross-border data transfer to U.S. servers as a condition of use, raising PIPEDA adequacy and consent considerations that compliance teams operating in those jurisdictions should evaluate against current regulatory guidance.
