I have many past thumbtack clients that have become friends. We have discussed family and personal matters in detail via text. I think this is the most disturbing thing I have learned about Thumbtack. I don't think anyone signed up for this type of privacy invasion. Yeah, that's. They need to put a time limit on it, stop it when the job is done. What they really need to do is NOT track the content of the message.

Wow, this is really getting out of hand. I started getting job requests from way outside my travel preferences and asked a chat agent why this was happening. I was told setting travel preferences was now only available when you use Promote. So they are now hijacking that holding it hostage until we sign up for Promote. Nice, TT. And they just did it without telling me. What's next? What else are you going to take away? Are you just going to keep whittling away at our options and abilities until we are forced to sign up for Promote or leave the platform? It sure seems like that's what's happening. Please have the guts and respect for us to give us the common courtesy of simply telling us this is where it's headed.

Re: Tracking Our off Platform Communications

We can no longer set travel preferences unless you switch to Promote.
