A Contractor may choose to opt in or to opt out of the Profile Sharing Service at any time by navigating to “Settings” within the App and selecting whether or not they would like to have their Profile shared through the Profile Sharing Service. If a Contractor opts out of the Profile Sharing Service, their Profile may still be shared with Clients for job postings that the Contractor applied to.
