Trust and safety
A safer Task starts before anyone arrives.
The marketplace is still in early access. These principles describe the safeguards being designed for launch and the behavior expected from both sides.
Before booking
- Both parties complete identity verification through a secure provider.
- Task scope, general location, timing, physical demands, tools and relevant hazards are disclosed in advance.
- Student Workers see gross pay, fees and exact expected net payout before applying.
- Locals see the complete price before funding.
During a Task
- Keep communication and material scope changes on-platform.
- Do not perform work that feels unsafe, illegal or materially different from the posted Task.
- For immediate danger, leave the situation and contact local emergency services first.
- Never exchange SSNs, banking credentials or copies of identity documents in chat.
Higher-risk categories
Babysitting, driving, household repairs, sports instruction and Tasks involving ladders, power tools, children, animals or heavy lifting require category-specific controls. Availability may be limited while those safeguards are being finalized.
Screening
Optional criminal or driving-record screening may be requested for eligible Tasks. Screening is time-limited, may not cover every jurisdiction or record, and is not a guarantee of safety or future behavior.
Report a concern
Use the Support page for launch-stage concerns. A dedicated in-app reporting and blocking workflow is required before live bookings open.
