Contract: Users can enter into two different types of contracts through the DishwasherHero Platform: (1) a contract between service requesters and service professionals regarding professional services, and (2) a contract between the user and DishwasherHero whereby DishwasherHero facilitates the arrangement of the professional services contract in exchange for a share of the fee for the contracted professional services. To take steps necessary to respond to users’ requests to enter into both types of contracts, DishwasherHero processes Personal Information from service requesters, including contact information, services requested, and worksite location information, and from service professionals, including contact information, skills and experience, background check information, preferred times, and preferred locations. To facilitate the performance of the service professional agreement and to perform the contract with users, DishwasherHero must process Personal Information, including the service requester’s billing information, the service professional’s receivables information and geographic location information, and both parties’ text messages and phone calls through the DishwasherHero Platform.

DishwasherHero cannot facilitate service professional contracts through the DishwasherHero Platform or enter into contracts with users unless users provide this Personal Information.
