Handling of personal information
A: Check if the crowdsourcing site has the policy on handling of personal information that is published.
Many crowdsourcing sites have disclaimers such as "We require your personal information such as your address and telephone number for authentication purposes; however, such information will not be disclosed without your consent or used for any other purposes." In general, personal information is not shared with clients. Contact the crowdsourcing business owner if you are in doubt.
Be careful if your client asks for your personal information. Check why the information is required and if it is essential for the business, and consult with the crowdsourcing business owner if it can be justified.
A: The amount of information varies depending on the crowdsourcing site. Normally your "name", "sex", "address", and "e-mail address" are required for authentication purposes.
Also, your bank account is required to receive payment. Generally crowdsourcing business owners make payments to crowdworkers; therefore, the account information will not be passed on to clients.
