Information we otherwise obtain from you (e.g. automatically)


a) Your usage I.e. the types of Freelancers you click on as a Client. This in turn means that we will have a record of how many clicks and proposal requests that Freelancers receive, so that we may cap you accordingly or otherwise adjust the Directory, e.g. so that no one Freelancer receives too many proposal requests while others receive none.
b) Information about jobs submitted and accepted between Freelancers and Clients.
