Protecting Your Personal Information

At SkillScoop, we take your privacy seriously. Protecting your personal information is a top priority, and we’ve built the platform with safety in mind. Here’s how we keep your details secure:→ Full address protection: We never display your full address on your profile or job listings. Only your suburb is visible, ensuring that your privacy is maintained.→ Phone number privacy: Your phone number is kept private and is only shared with specialists you’ve selected for a job or clients who’ve received a quote from you. However, we recommend using SkillScoop’s secure chat feature to keep all interactions within the platform.

Sharing contact details safely

When it comes to sharing personal details, we recommend the following:

→ Don’t share personal details publicly: Please do not include your phone number, address, or other private information in public sections of your profile like the “About Me” or Portfolio. This helps protect you from potential risks and aligns with our Terms of Use.

→ Private chat for communication: The safest way to exchange contact information is through SkillScoop’s private chat system, once a client or specialist connection has been made. This keeps your details secure while still allowing you to coordinate efficiently.

Why it’s important

Keeping your contact information safe protects you from unwanted solicitations, scams, and privacy breaches. By using SkillScoop’s secure messaging system and only sharing sensitive information when truly necessary, you can confidently connect with others in a safe, trusted environment.

Your safety is our priority. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy using SkillScoop while keeping your personal information secure.
