Privacy and You
Your privacy is important to you, and to us, so we’re answering the questions we know you’ll have about what personal information we use, and why. We only use your personal information in the ways we describe here.
Where do you get my personal information from?
You provide us with personal information when signing-up to Abodoo, and when you complete your profile. We don’t take it from anywhere else, and we don’t extract it from anything you link or upload into Abodoo.
Okay, but do I have to provide it?
You need to provide us with at least the information we ask for as part of the sign-up process (that’s your name, email address and password), but not all the information we ask for as part of your profile set up.
So, what do you use my personal information for?
It’s used only for; providing and administering our service - this allows us to develop our future products and services to better help your smart working career.
Great, but what about newsletters and emails?
Yes, you might have subscribed to our newsletter, or for emails telling you about the new world of work, news and updates. If you did, we’ll use your email to send these to you (and if not, we won’t).

You do, so here goes;
