Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Jack on Demand (“we”, “our”, “the Platform”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website jackondemand.mu and mobile applications.

By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

 

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Location (city/area)
  • Profile photo
  • Skills, qualifications, or licenses
  • Job descriptions and job-related information
  • Messages sent through the in-app chat

If you contact our support team, we may also collect additional information you provide voluntarily.

1.2 Identity Verification Information (DIDIT)

To promote trust and safety, some users may be required to complete identity verification.

We may collect (via our third-party provider DIDIT):

  • Government-issued identification document (e.g., ID card, passport, driver’s license)
  • A selfie or facial image for biometric comparison
  • Verification results (verified / failed / pending)

Important:
Jack on Demand does not store ID document images or biometric data on its own servers.
All identity verification is processed securely through DIDIT, and only verification status is stored by us.

1.3 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect:

  • Device information (model, OS version, device ID)
  • IP address
  • App usage data (pages/screens viewed, clicks, interactions)
  • Crash reports
  • Approximate location (for job matching and search filtering)
  • Cookies or similar tracking technologies on the website

This helps us improve performance, security, and user experience.

1.4 Communication & Notification Data

We may collect data related to notifications and messaging, including:

  • Emails and SMS notification history
  • WhatsApp notification events
  • In-app activity related to chats and updates

We use WATI, an approved WhatsApp Business provider, to send certain updates and alerts.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Match Service Seekers and Service Providers
  • Facilitate communication between users
  • Enable identity verification and fraud prevention
  • Improve platform functionality, safety, and reliability
  • Send important notifications regarding jobs, updates, or account activity
  • Provide customer support
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

 

3. Identity Verification (DIDIT)

If identity verification is required:

  • Your information is securely processed by DIDIT, our third-party KYC partner
  • DIDIT uses industry-standard security and encryption measures
  • Only your verification status is stored by Jack on Demand
  • We may restrict access to certain features until verification is complete

Verification helps maintain safety but does not guarantee a user’s identity—users should still exercise caution.

 

4. WhatsApp Notifications (WATI)

We use WATI to send WhatsApp messages for:

  • Account updates
  • Job notifications
  • Identity verification reminders
  • Support and safety alerts

By using our Platform, you consent to receiving WhatsApp notifications.
You may opt out anytime by replying STOP.

Only minimal information (such as phone number and message content) is shared with WATI to deliver messages.

 

5. Sharing of Information

We may share your information with:

5.1 Service Providers (Users)

Certain profile information may be visible to other users, such as:

  • Name
  • Profile photo
  • Skills
  • Approximate location
  • Ratings and reviews
  • Job history

Identity documents are never shared with other users.

5.2 Third-Party Service Providers

We may share necessary data with trusted external partners for:

  • Identity verification (DIDIT)
  • Messaging (WATI, email & SMS providers)
  • Analytics and crash reporting
  • Hosting and security infrastructure

All partners are required to handle your information securely.

5.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to:

  • Comply with Mauritian law
  • Respond to legal requests
  • Protect users' safety
  • Detect or prevent fraud

 

6. Payments

Jack on Demand currently does not process or store payment information.

All payments occur outside the Platform between users.

If in-app payments are introduced in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.

 

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Operate the Platform
  • Fulfil legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce our Terms

You may request account deletion at any time (see Section 10).

 

8. Data Security

We implement technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption
  • Secure servers
  • Access controls
  • Regular security audits

However, no online service is completely secure. You use the Platform at your own risk and should protect your own account credentials.

 

9. Children’s Privacy

Jack on Demand is intended only for users 18 years and older.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

If you believe a user under 18 has created an account, please contact us.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your account
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention rules)
  • Withdraw consent for certain processing
  • Opt out of marketing or WhatsApp messages
