Chore Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 8, 2025
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Levy, Inc., doing business as Chore (“Chore,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and shares personal information from users of our website, www.hirechore.com (the “Site”), and our services (the “Services”). This Policy also applies to any other Chore websites that link to it. It does not apply to websites that reference a different privacy statement.
Types of Users
Chore categorizes users into the following groups:
- Site Visitors – Individuals who visit our website. Site Visitors may also use the Services or be Customer End Users or Authorized End Users.
- Customer End Users – Individuals who access the Services on behalf of an organization (the “Customer”) that has invited them. The Customer has a separate agreement with Chore (the “Services Agreement”) and controls access to the tools used within the Services. Chore processes information collected from and about Customer End Users on behalf of the Customer.
- Authorized End Users – Individuals with Chore accounts who are invited to use the Services by one or more Customers. This may include Customer counterparties or service providers. Chore acts as the data controller for information provided by and about Authorized End Users.
Together, Customer End Users and Authorized End Users are referred to as “End Users.”
