Our Commitments to You
Jobsite workers deserve platforms that respect them, not extract from them. Here's what that means in practice.
The Bottom Line
SideJob is a free service for jobsite workers—people building, creating, and making things happen on commercial, industrial, and residential sites. We're operated by Supported Systems and built on dignity.ink principles.
That means your professional data belongs to you, not us. We exist to connect you with other workers—nothing more, nothing less. No surveillance, no data sales, no extraction. Just simple human connections to help you get work done.
What This Means In Practice
Your Data Belongs to You
Every job posting, message, and connection you make on SideJob is yours. Not ours, not some investor's, not a data broker's. Yours.
- Export your complete data anytime, in formats you can actually use
- Your professional network survives any platform changes
- Delete your account? Your data gets deleted too—for real
- No platform lock-in. Your connections belong to you, not SideJob
No Surveillance, Ever
We built SideJob to connect jobsite workers, not surveil them. There's no behavioral tracking for monetization, no AI training on your conversations, no selling your activity to advertisers.
- Zero-knowledge messaging architecture - We can't read your private messages even if we wanted to
- No cross-site tracking or following you around the internet
- No AI models trained on your job postings or communications
- Technical impossibility, not corporate promises—our architecture prevents abuse
Free Forever (We Mean It)
SideJob doesn't have investors to satisfy or shareholders demanding growth. We're a free service operated by Supported Systems because jobsite workers deserve tools that serve them, not extract from them.
- No subscription fees - Everything is free, always
- No transaction cuts - Your work arrangements and money stay between you and other workers
- No premium tiers - Everyone gets the same features
- No data sales - Your information isn't for sale at any price
Consent-Based Terms
We derive our authority from serving jobsite workers, not from legal fine print. That means real consent, not buried clauses.
- No retroactive changes - Terms changes require your explicit consent
- No data hostage situations - Access your data anytime, regardless of account status
- Plain language policies - Written like a job foreman explaining to the crew
- We serve you - You don't serve us by being a "product"
Your Professional Network, Your Terms
The relationships and reputation you build through SideJob belong to you. We're just the tool that helped you connect—the professional network is yours to keep, regardless of what happens to the platform.
- Portable professional connections - Export contact info, job history, reviews
- Independent reputation - Your professional standing isn't locked to our platform
- Generational continuity - Build a professional legacy that outlasts any single platform
- No monopolistic control - We don't claim ownership of your professional identity
Why This Matters
Most platforms treat users as data sources to be monetized. Your activity gets tracked, your attention gets sold, your professional relationships get locked into their ecosystem. That's not just annoying—it's fundamentally disrespectful to people building and creating real things in the physical world.
Jobsite workers—plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, excavation operators, carpenters, concrete finishers, general contractors, and all the other skilled professionals getting actual work done—deserve better.
SideJob is built on the principle that technology should serve human dignity, not extract value from it. That's not marketing language. That's our technical architecture, our business model (or lack thereof), and our fundamental commitment.
