Oddjobs Portugal Ltd (Company No. 23948580)

Last updated: July 2026

1. Data Controller

Oddjobs Portugal Ltd (Company No. 23948580) is the data controller for personal data processed on oddjobs.pt.

We are registered with the Isle of Man Information Commissioner under registration number R738618. Register entries are renewed periodically; the current entry runs to 2 July 2027 (and will be renewed as required).

Contact for privacy matters: support@oddjobs.pt.

2. What We Collect

We collect information you provide when you register, verify your email, post jobs, build a tradesperson profile or mini-site, quote, message, leave reviews, or manage a subscription. This can include name, email, phone, location, business details, job content, photos you upload, and account activity.

We also collect technical data such as IP address, browser/device information, and security logs (for example rate-limit and login attempts).

For tradespeople on a free trial or paid plan, we store trial dates, plan tier, billing status, and PayPal subscription identifiers (not your full card number).

For public tradesperson mini-sites (/t/…), we count anonymous page visits so the tradesperson can see interest in their listing. We store only daily unique counts and a short-lived hash used to avoid double-counting the same browser on the same day. We do not show tradespeople who visited, and we do not store visitor IPs or user-agents in clear text for this feature.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to:

  • Operate the platform and match customers with tradespeople
  • Verify accounts and prevent fraud, abuse, and spam
  • Moderate content (including with AI assistance - see below)
  • Process tradesperson plan subscriptions via PayPal
  • Send service emails (verification codes, trial reminders, billing notices, job/quote alerts)
  • Show tradespeople aggregated visitor counts for their public mini-site
  • Improve and secure the service

4. Payments (PayPal)

Tradesperson monthly subscriptions are processed by PayPal. When you subscribe, you are directed to PayPal to approve payment. PayPal is an independent payment provider and processes payment data under its own privacy policy and terms.

We receive limited billing information from PayPal (for example subscription ID, status, plan/tier, and next billing time). We do not store your full card or bank account numbers. Job payments between customers and tradespeople are arranged directly between them and are not processed by oddjobs.pt.

5. Content Moderation and AI

We may use automated filters and AI-assisted moderation (currently xAI / Grok) to review job posts, profiles, websites, and similar content for policy issues (for example spam, scams, or prohibited material). Content or short excerpts may be sent to the AI provider solely for moderation and safety review.

AI systems may auto-approve low-risk content, flag items for human review, or recommend rejection. Human staff may override any automated decision. We do not use this process to sell advertising based on your content.

6. Who We Share Data With

  • Other users - profile, job, quote, and review information you choose to make available on the platform
  • PayPal - to set up and manage subscriptions
  • Email delivery providers - to send transactional email
  • AI moderation providers (e.g. xAI) - content submitted for safety review when moderation is enabled
  • Professional advisors or authorities - where required by law or to protect rights and safety

We do not sell your personal data.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies and similar storage to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and operate security features. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

8. Retention

We keep account and transaction-related records for as long as needed to run the service, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes. You may request deletion of your account; some records may need to be retained where the law requires.

9. Your Rights

Subject to Portugal data protection law, you can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data, and raise questions about how we process it. Contact support@oddjobs.pt.
