How we use it

To show nearby services, keep your saved list, verify listings and keep the app safe. We never sell your data and we show no ads.

Sharing

We don't share your personal information with service providers or third parties, except the infrastructure needed to run the app or when required by law.

Your choices

You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Delete my account) or by following the steps on our account deletion page.
