Privacy policy

Introduction

Kontrable, operated by Tarkle, Inc. ("Kontrable," "we," "us," or "our"), provides a contractor management platform that helps businesses organize and manage their independent contractors globally. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your information when you use our Platform. We are committed to transparency and protecting your data while helping you manage contractor relationships efficiently.

What information we collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, company name, and billing information. You may also provide optional information such as job title, phone number, and business details.

Contractor Data

When you add contractors to your account, you may input contractor names, contact information, payment details, contract terms, and work-related information. This data is stored securely and remains your property. We do not process or hold contractor payments - we only help you track and organize this information.
