Businesses are responsible for making sure their listing information is accurate and lawful.

This may include name, contact information, general location or service area, social media profile links, task activity, screenshots or proof of completion, payment or payout information, and tax-related information if required.

260Local may review submitted information to help prevent fraud, duplicate accounts, fake engagement, or misuse of the platform.

We do not control every part of third-party payment systems. Their own privacy policies and terms may apply.
