Yard Hustle Privacy Policy

YARD HUSTLE

Effective Date: August 10, 2026 • Owner: KM2 LLC • Governing Law: State of Florida, United States

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Yard Hustle ("App") collects, uses, and protects information. Yard Hustle connects minors with yard work opportunities under Parent/Guardian supervision.

2. COPPA Compliance & Parental Consent

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Hustler accounts may only be created and managed by a Parent/Guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

Our parental consent process includes:

Parent/Guardian must create their account first
Parent/Guardian creates a "Yard Hustler" account for their child
Parent/Guardian sets a unique username and secure PIN for their child
Child logs in using their parent-created username and PIN
Parent/Guardian must confirm they are the legal guardian

Parents/Guardians have the right to:

Review all personal information collected from their child
Request deletion of their child's personal information
Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
Control all safety settings, services, and payment information

3. Information We Collect

We may collect:

Parent/Guardian contact information (name, email, phone)
Hustler profile details (name, general age range)
Job details (services, dates, addresses)
Photos voluntarily submitted
Communications between Users
Location data (with permission)
Payment information (processed through Stripe)
Usage, interaction, and diagnostic data, such as screens and workflow steps viewed, buttons or controls used, selected services, quoted prices, validation status, exit reasons, errors, timestamps, session or attempt identifiers, platform, and app version
When you are signed in, usage and diagnostic data may be associated with your Yard Hustle account while held in raw form

Usage and diagnostic events may be stored briefly on your device when you are offline and transmitted securely when a connection is available.

We do not collect unnecessary data.

For children: Kid accounts are created by parents with a username and secure PIN. Children do not provide email addresses or phone numbers. All kid account data is managed and controlled by the parent/guardian.

4. Location Information

The App uses ZIP code information to:

Match Customers with nearby Yard Hustlers
Show approximate distance to jobs
Filter job requests by service area

We do NOT track minors all the time. The App may record location during an active job after the Hustler starts work, so a Parent/Guardian can view job-related safety updates. We do not sell or share location data with advertisers. ZIP code is required during signup for job matching purposes only.

5. How We Use Data

Data is used to:

Operate the platform
Allow job requests
Improve safety
Provide Parent/Guardian oversight
Communicate with Users
Maintain account integrity

We may contact Users by email, phone, SMS/text message, in-app message, or other contact method provided to the App for transactional, operational, safety, support, scheduling, payment, dispute, cancellation, or account-related purposes, including active or pending job requests, bookings, Customer or Hustler availability, safety concerns, payment issues, cancellations, dispute resolution, or platform support.

Yard Hustle SMS/text messages may include account notices, job request updates, booking and schedule reminders, safety or support messages, payment or dispute updates, review requests, and optional promotional updates only when a User has separately opted in to marketing texts. Message frequency varies based on account and job activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages and HELP for help, or contact support@yardhustleapp.com.

By creating an account and using Yard Hustle, you consent to receive marketing emails from us, including updates about new features, tips, promotions, and community news. You may opt-out at any time by contacting us at support@yardhustleapp.com. We will never send marketing emails to children.

Usage, Analytics, and Diagnostics

We use first-party interaction and diagnostic data to understand feature usage, identify where Users stop in a workflow, troubleshoot errors, improve the App, maintain security, and support Users
Raw usage and diagnostic events may be associated with an authenticated account and are restricted to authorized personnel using access controls
Reports used for business decisions are aggregated, and we de-identify or anonymize analytics when reasonably possible
This analytics feature does not create screen, audio, or video recordings
We do not intentionally include full payment-card details or active-job precise location in analytics events
We do not sell usage or diagnostic data, use it for targeted advertising, or use it to track Users across other companies' apps or websites

We do not sell personal data. We do not use children's data for targeted advertising.

6. Sharing of Information

We may share limited information with:

Customers (job details only, no live location)
Parents/Guardians (full visibility of their child's data)
Service providers (hosting, analytics -- never for ad targeting)
Stripe, Inc. (payment processing)
Law enforcement (when legally required)

We do not share, rent, or sell User data for marketing purposes.

SMS consent and mobile phone information are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

7. Payment Information and Data Security

Payment Processing: Yard Hustle uses Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") to process payments. We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or expiration date.

When you add a payment method:

Your card details are sent directly to Stripe (never through our servers)
Stripe stores your full card information securely in their PCI-compliant systems
We only store a payment method identifier and the last 4 digits of your card for display purposes
We store your Stripe Customer ID to process future payments

Data Security Measures:

Encryption of passwords and kid PINs
Secure cloud infrastructure
Access controls and logging
Hashed storage of kid login PINs (never stored in plain text)
PCI-compliant payment processing through Stripe

No system is 100% secure. Users share information at their own risk.

8. User Rights

Users may:

Request access to their data
Request deletion of their account and data
Update information
Revoke permissions
Close accounts

Parents/Guardians control all Hustler (child) data.

To exercise these rights, contact: support@yardhustleapp.com

9. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for safety, security, account management, and legal requirements. Users may request deletion at any time. Upon deletion request, we will delete or anonymize most data within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.

We retain raw usage and diagnostic events only as long as reasonably necessary for analytics, troubleshooting, security, and support. When account linkage is no longer needed, we delete the event or remove the account association. Aggregated or de-identified statistics that no longer identify a User may be retained longer.

10. No Behavioral Advertising

We do not use children's data for behavioral advertising. We do not track children for marketing purposes. We do not share children's data with advertisers or data brokers.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy at any time upon posting. When we do, we will update the "Effective Date" and may provide notice within the App. Continued use of the App after changes become effective means you accept the revised Policy.
