3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
ProEvnt does not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
- With clients — limited professional profile information (photo, tier, relevant experience, measurements for uniform purposes) may be shared with event clients as part of Contractor look books or assignment confirmations. SSN, bank details, and personal contact information are never shared with clients.
- With service providers — ProEvnt may engage third-party service providers to support the operation of the Platform, including hosting providers, analytics tools, payroll, payment processors, scheduling, platform operations and technical infrastructure vendors. These service providers are permitted to process personal information only as necessary to provide services to ProEvnt and are contractually required to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.
- For legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or government regulation, we may disclose information to the appropriate authorities.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of ProEvnt, Contractor data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance.
4. DATA RETENTION
We retain your information for as long as you maintain a Contractor profile with ProEvnt. If your profile is deactivated or you request deletion:
- Personal profile information will be deleted within 90 days of your request
- Tax and payroll records (including SSN and earnings history) are retained for a minimum of 7 years as required by federal and New York State tax law
- Assignment history and performance data may be retained in anonymized form for internal records
- Certain information may be retained for longer periods where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or maintain business records
5. DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. Sensitive information such as SSN and bank account details are stored using industry-standard encryption. However, no system is completely secure — if you believe your information has been compromised, contact us immediately. In the event of a data security incident affecting your personal information, ProEvnt will provide notice to affected individuals in accordance with applicable law.
6. YOUR RIGHTS
As a ProEvnt Contractor, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

To protect your privacy and security, ProEvnt may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a request to access, modify, or delete personal information.
7. LOCATION DATA — ADDITIONAL NOTICE
The Platform uses GPS location services exclusively for assignment check-in and check-out verification (geo-fencing). Location access is only active during an accepted assignment. We do not monitor, store, or share your location data outside of assignment check-in/check-out events. You may disable location services on your device at any time, but this will prevent you from checking in or out of assignments through the Platform.
8. SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION
If you provide social media profile URLs (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn), this information may be included in look books or profile materials shared with clients for brand ambassador or promotional staffing purposes. You may remove your social media links from your profile at any time through the Platform settings. Providing social media profile links is voluntary and may be removed from your profile at any time.
9. CHILDREN
The BlackTux Platform is intended for use by working adults who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a person under 18 has created an account, please contact us immediately so we can deactivate the account and delete any collected data.
10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will notify you through the Platform and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
