WhatsApp Messaging & Privacy

Hoodex uses the WhatsApp Business Platform to keep workers and employers informed about work opportunities, invitations, bid updates, and assignment notifications. This page explains how we use and share information for WhatsApp communications, how we protect it, and how you can manage your communication preferences or opt out of WhatsApp notifications.

WhatsApp Business Platform

Hoodex uses the WhatsApp Business Platform, provided by Meta, to send service-related notifications and updates to workers and employers.

Information Used

Depending on the notification and our integration, we may process your registered mobile phone number, relevant work-related details, message content, delivery status, and other information required to send and manage WhatsApp communications.

Purposes of Messaging

WhatsApp messages may include:

Sharing with WhatsApp and Meta

Information necessary to deliver WhatsApp messages may be shared with WhatsApp and Meta Platforms, Inc. and processed by them in accordance with their applicable terms and privacy policies. Relevant service providers may also process this information on Hoodex's behalf.

Consent and Communication Preferences

Hoodex will send WhatsApp messages in accordance with applicable consent requirements and WhatsApp policies. Where applicable, you may manage your notification preferences through Hoodex or use the available opt-out mechanism to stop WhatsApp communications.

Stopping WhatsApp notifications may affect your ability to receive updates through that channel. You may still be able to access relevant information through the Hoodex app.

Security and Retention

Hoodex applies appropriate safeguards to protect information associated with WhatsApp communications. Such information is retained in accordance with the Data Security and Data Retention sections of this Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
