Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 27, 2019
This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes how P2 LLC d/b/a Motil and our affiliates and subsidiaries (“Motil” or “we” or “us” or “our”) treats information collected or provided in connection with transactions, activities, and data gathered when a User (“you” or “User”) visits or uses the Motil Platform. This Policy is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use. Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Policy shall have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Use.

Please note that the use of the Motil Platform constitutes your acceptance of this Policy. If you do not agree with how we have determined to handle your information, please do not visit or use the Motil Platform. The Motil Platform is only intended for use in the United States and the personal information you provide us as a user will be stored in the United States.

1. Effective Date and Changes
This Policy applies to all information collected by or provided to us on or after the Effective Date. Motil will periodically review and revise this Policy as Motil modifies the Platform and will update the Effective Date above upon any such changes. We will treat your continued use of the Motil Platform following such changes as your acceptance of them. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy. If our practices change regarding previously collected Personal Information in a way that would be materially less restrictive than those policies in effect at the time we collected the information, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and to obtain consent to any such uses as may be required by law, but we will not be liable for any failure to do so.
2. Personal Information Collected on the Motil Platform
Because we respect your rights to your own privacy, we are committed to our policies established for the collection and/or use of your “Personal Information,” which is hereby defined as “full name, username, postal address, phone number, email address, age, birth date, and any information that could be used to identify, contact, or locate you directly without using the Motil Platform.”

For the purposes of this Policy, Personal Information does not include your photograph or other image. Motil has determined to establish separate policies specifically governing the use of photographs for and on the Motil Platform in Section 5 herein and further in “Photographs” provision of our Terms of Use.

By using the Motil Platform, you are authorizing us to collect, parse, and retain data related to the provision of the Motil Platform. However, we also provide Users with options and choices regarding how we use and disclose some or all of your Personal Information, as set forth specifically below, including how to access, correct, and/or remove it. You may avoid further said data collection by uninstalling the App from your mobile device and not otherwise using the Motil Platform.

When you visit or use the Motil Platform, we collect information about you in the following general categories.
  • Location Information: We collect precise location data through the App when it is used by Providers if the Providers’ devices permit such information collection. This information may be collected, stored, and otherwise utilized by third-parties, including, but not limited to, Tookan by Jungleworks. We may collect this information when Providers use certain functionality, such as navigating to a location to provide the Services, and we may also collect the precise location of a Provider’s device when the App is running in the foreground or background. We may derive a Provider’s approximate location from the Provider’s IP address. The Motil Platform utilizes geo-location features to match Customers to Providers, to update Customers on the status of Providers en route to perform Services, to confirm that a Provider performed Services, and to improve the services on the Motil Platform.
We also may use and disclose geo-location we collect through the Motil Platform for other business purposes, including for legal purposes (such as to enforce our agreements) and in the event of a proposed or actual merger, sale, or other business asset transfers. The geo-location information obtained about a User will be retained in an identifiable manner, along with geo-location data about job sites where Providers performed Services on initial and/or follow-up jobs.
  • Transaction Information: We collect transaction details related to your use of the Motil Platform, such as type of service requested, date and time of service, amount charged, distance traveled, intra-User communications, ratings and reviews, and other related transaction details.
  • Provider Registration and Payment: To register as a Provider, you may need to provide other Personal Information, including your social security number, bank account and a U.S. government-issued I.D., and in some jurisdictions we may collect additional business or contractor licenses. We share certain information with our partners, including, but not limited to, Checkr, who help us by running background checks on Providers to help protect the Motil community. We may use report information we receive from background check service providers for the purposes of assessing whether to permit an individual to use the Motil Platform as a Provider and to comply with applicable law. To keep your data secure, we do not store your full bank account information or social security number on our servers.
  • Motil Payment Method: When you add a credit card or payment method to your Motil account, a third party that handles payments for us, including, but not limited to, Stripe, will receive your card information. To keep your financial data secure, we do not store full credit card information on our servers.
  • Customer Support: We may collect Personal Information through your communications with our customer-support team.
  • Usage and Preference Information: We collect information that is generated automatically about how you and visitors interact with the Motil Platform, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. When we associate such information with specific personal information, we will treat the combination as Personal Information, as set forth herein.
  • Communications Between Users: As an enhanced privacy feature, we use a third-party service called Twilio to mask the telephone numbers used during calls or texts (SMS) between Users (See additional provisions regarding Twilio herein below). We do not reveal telephone numbers submitted on file, although we store any call data, including associated date, time, and content. We also use a third-party service called Tookan by Jungleworks to provide communications between Users (See additional provisions regarding Tookan by Jungleworks herein below).
  • Log Information: When you interact with the Motil Platform, we collect server logs, which may include device IP addresses, access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, browser type, and the third-party site/service accessed immediately prior to interacting with the Motil Platform.
  • Third-Party Site Account Access: If you log in to the Motil Platform through a social networking site, such as Google or Facebook, we may collect your authentication token, registration information, and account identification number and use that information to provide you with access to your account on the Motil Platform.
3. Use of Information
