The short version
You can read every page of this site, use the scam checker, and browse all 420 platform pages without an account, without an email address, and without giving us any personal information. There is no sign-up wall and no cross-site tracking.
The only personal data we ever hold is the email address you type in if you subscribe to the newsletter. Everything else — your saved platforms, your votes, an anonymous ID — lives in your own browser, and a pseudonymous copy of saves and votes is mirrored to our database with no name, email, or IP attached.
Who we are
PaidTaskers ("PaidTaskers", "we", "the site") is the independent directory of verified paid-task platforms published at paidtaskers.app, operated by a single independent researcher based in the United States. For any privacy question, request, or complaint, contact kim@paidtaskers.app. This policy covers the paidtaskers.app website; it does not cover third-party platforms you visit through our links — each of those has its own privacy policy, which you should read before signing up.
What we collect, item by item
1. Newsletter email
If you subscribe, we store the email address you enter so we can send the newsletter — short emails with new platforms, dead platforms, and original statistics from our tracked set, at least three times a week. We store nothing else about you: no name is required, no location is inferred. Delivery runs through our email service, which — like every email platform — attaches a small open-tracking pixel to each email and counts link clicks so we can see whether issues are read. The list lives in our Supabase project and is mirrored to that service for sending only; it is never sold, rented, or shared, and the reading statistics are used only to measure and improve the newsletter. Every email contains an unsubscribe link; you can also ask us to remove you at kim@paidtaskers.app at any time.
2. Saved platforms and votes
When you save a platform or upvote one, that choice is stored first in your browser's local storage (keys pt:saved, pt:votes). A pseudonymous copy is also sent to our Supabase database, keyed only to a random anonymous ID (pt:uuid) generated in your browser — no account, no email, no IP address is attached to it. We cannot connect that copy back to you, which is deliberate: it exists as a merge base so a future account feature can restore your list across devices. Clearing your browser storage removes both the local list and any link it had to the mirror.
3. Analytics
We measure traffic in aggregate. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless: it counts page views without setting cookies, without fingerprinting, and without following you to other sites. We also use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful; it sets the cookies listed in our Cookie Policy and processes that data under Google's own terms. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's official opt-out add-on or any content blocker. Neither tool gives us identities — only counts.
4. Security and server logs
The site is served through Cloudflare. Like every host, Cloudflare processes technical request data (IP address, user agent, timestamps) to deliver pages, stop bots and attacks, and keep the site online — including a short-lived security cookie where needed. We use those logs for security and uptime only, not to profile readers. See Cloudflare's own privacy documentation for their handling.
5. What we do not collect
- No accounts are required to read anything, and none exist yet.
- No advertising or data-broker trackers; the site's security policy technically blocks third-party tracking scripts.
- No selling, renting, or sharing of any personal data. Ever.
- No dark-pattern consent flows — because we do not ask for consent to anything except sending you the newsletter you asked for.
- No payment data — the site never takes payments from visitors.
Why we're allowed to process this (legal bases)
For EU/UK readers: the newsletter is processed on the basis of your consent (withdrawable by unsubscribing at any time). Anonymous saves/votes mirroring and security logging rest on legitimate interests — running and securing a working website — and involve pseudonymous or technical data that cannot identify you. Aggregate analytics rest on the same legitimate interest: Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless by design, and the Google Analytics cookies listed in our Cookie Policy can be blocked or opted out of at any time.
Your rights
Regardless of where you live, you can:
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter with one click in any email, or by writing to us.
- Delete your local data by clearing site data in your browser — that removes your saved list, votes, and anonymous ID completely.
- Ask what we hold about your email address, ask us to correct or delete it (access, rectification, erasure — GDPR arts. 15–17), or ask for a copy (portability). Email kim@paidtaskers.app and we will answer within 30 days.
- Object to processing or lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. We would rather fix the problem first, but the right is yours.
For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined, and the only personal information we hold is a newsletter email you knowingly gave us. That means the practical rights are the same as above: tell us and we delete it.
How long we keep things
- Newsletter email: until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days.
- Anonymous saves/votes mirror: indefinitely, but it is unlinkable to any person; email us if you want the rows keyed to your anonymous ID removed.
- Security logs: per Cloudflare's default retention (days, not years).
Children
This site is aimed at adults looking to earn money online and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We knowingly collect no data from children. Work categories flagged as adult-adjacent (such as companion chat) are restricted to adults 18+ on the platforms themselves and are labeled as such throughout the directory. If you believe a child gave us their email address, contact us and we will delete it immediately.
International visitors
The site is operated from the United States and served through Cloudflare's global network; our Supabase database keeps the anonymous mirrors and the newsletter list, and the list is mirrored to our email service, which delivers the emails. For EU/UK visitors, this means your data may be transferred to the United States; where required, transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by our processors. The practical reality, stated plainly: almost nothing about you leaves your browser in the first place.
Security
The entire site is static — there is no login database to breach. Connections are forced over HTTPS with HSTS, a strict Content-Security-Policy blocks third-party scripts, and the only external endpoint the site can talk to is our own Supabase project, where anonymous visitors can write but cannot read anyone's rows. No system is perfect, but the attack surface here is about as small as a website gets.
Changes to this policy
If what we collect ever changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves. Material changes — new trackers, new data collection — will be noted plainly at the top of the page, not buried in a bullet.
Contact
Privacy questions, deletion requests, complaints: kim@paidtaskers.app. One safety note, because it matters: we will never email you asking for a payment, a password, an ID document, or a verification code. Any message that does is not from us — forward it to the same address. See also our Terms of Use, Cookie Policy, and Affiliate Disclosure.
