Privacy Policy

Gibwork is an onchain freelance marketplace that lets users create, discover, manage, and complete tasks and bounties. This Privacy Policy applies to the Gibwork website, application, communications, and related services available through app.gib.workand any successor domain we operate.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Platform.

We collect information you provide directly, including:

• account details such as email address, username, display name, and profile information;
• content you create or upload, including tasks, bounties, submissions, comments, portfolio data, profile images, and other files or media;
• connected account information for supported providers such as GitHub, X, and Discord, including usernames and connection or verification status;
• wallet information, including your primary wallet, additional wallets, and other wallet addresses you choose to associate with your account;
• communications with Gibwork, including support messages, feedback, and emails sent to or from us;
• information related to referrals, rewards, subscriptions, and purchases.

We also collect information automatically, such as:

• device, browser, approximate location, IP address, log, and usage information;
• page views, session events, clicks, and product analytics signals;
• publicly available blockchain data related to wallets and transactions that interact with Gibwork or are associated with your account.

We use personal information to:

• create and manage accounts and profiles;
• operate the marketplace, including task creation, submissions, escrow workflows, wallet-related flows, referrals, and rewards;
• authenticate users, prevent abuse, investigate fraud, and enforce our policies;
• power connected-account features, identity or trust signals, subscription features, and eligibility checks;
• process purchases, subscriptions, support requests, and other user requests;
• monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, improve the Platform, and measure usage trends;
• communicate with you about your account, activity, product updates, billing, support, and security.

Some information on Gibwork is public by design. Your public profile, username, selected profile content, posted tasks and bounties, public submissions, comments, badges, and other marketplace activity may be visible to other users and to the public.

Blockchain records are also public by design. Transactions, signatures, wallet addresses, token transfers, and related metadata on Solana or other supported networks may be visible onchain and through third-party explorers. Gibwork cannot make public blockchain data private, delete it from the blockchain, or control how others index it.

If you connect third-party accounts such as GitHub, X, or Discord, we receive account identifiers and verification details needed to confirm the connection and support marketplace features tied to those accounts.

We may use connected-account status, subscription status, wallet association, and similar trust signals to determine access to certain features, to show profile indicators, or to reduce abuse on the Platform.

We do not control the privacy practices of connected-account providers. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

Gibwork supports both onchain activity and offchain purchases. Subscription payments, credit purchases, and other card-based payments may be processed by Stripe or another payment processor.

We may receive billing metadata such as purchase status, subscription tier, renewal dates, and limited transaction details, but we do not store your full payment card number.

Onchain transaction data, including escrow interactions and wallet transfers, may be recorded on public blockchains and may also be processed through Gibwork's backend services to support Platform functionality.

We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, prevent fraud, and understand how the Platform is used.

We may use analytics and product measurement tools, including PostHog or similar services, to understand traffic, feature usage, and performance. These tools may collect technical and usage data, such as page views, referring URLs, browser characteristics, and interaction events.

You can control some cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect how the Platform functions.

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• with service providers that help us operate Gibwork, such as authentication, hosting, analytics, media upload, customer support, communication, payment, and infrastructure vendors;
• with other users or the public when information is part of your public profile, marketplace activity, or public blockchain data;
• with counterparties when necessary to complete marketplace activity, payments, disputes, or support workflows;
• when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Platform;
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal requirements.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and maintain business and financial records.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, sensitivity, operational needs, and legal requirements. Public blockchain data may remain publicly accessible indefinitely.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet, cloud storage, or blockchain interaction is completely secure.

You are responsible for securing your account credentials, email, connected accounts, wallets, seed phrases, and devices. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us promptly.

You may be able to:

• update profile and account information from your settings;
• connect or disconnect supported external accounts;
• manage some wallet associations and profile visibility;
• request account deletion or other privacy requests by contacting us;
• opt out of certain communications and control some tracking through your browser or device settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law, such as rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal information. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Please note that we may retain information where required by law or for legitimate business purposes, and we cannot delete public blockchain records.

Gibwork may process and store information in countries other than your own. By using the Platform, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those in your home jurisdiction.

Gibwork is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may revise the date above and may provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of Gibwork after an updated policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised Privacy Policy.
