Executive Mobility, Powered by Intelligence.
Policy Owner: FREELANCER LLC
Effective / Last Updated: August 11, 2026
FREELANCER creates more than transportation technology. We create a distinctive Executive Mobility Experience built upon original language, carefully designed systems, proprietary service standards, and the trust placed in our brand. This Policy protects that experience while clearly defining the limited rights granted to every person who accesses or uses a FREELANCER digital platform.
This Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights Policy (the “Policy”) governs the ownership, protection, access, and permitted use of the slogans, phrases, service descriptions, written terms, website content, mobile-application content, software, designs, databases, operational methods, and other intellectual property made available by or on behalf of FREELANCER LLC (“FREELANCER,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using any FREELANCER website, passenger application, Partner-Chauffeur application, administrative portal, onboarding system, communication, digital service, or related platform (collectively, the “Platform”), you acknowledge this Policy and agree to comply with it.
This Policy supplements the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, membership agreements, service agreements, and any other written agreement applicable to your relationship with FREELANCER.
If a separate signed agreement imposes greater confidentiality or proprietary-rights protection, the more protective obligation controls to the extent permitted by law.
“Protected Materials” include all content and technology owned, commissioned, licensed, developed, or lawfully controlled by FREELANCER, whether displayed publicly, disclosed under limited access, or maintained internally, including:
Protected Materials are protected only to the extent provided by applicable copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade-secret, patent, contract, unfair-competition, privacy, database, and other laws.
No provision of this Policy converts an unprotectable fact, idea, system, method, name, title, slogan, or short phrase into copyrighted material; however, such matter may be protected under trademark, trade-secret, contract, unfair-competition, or other applicable law.
As between FREELANCER and each Platform user, FREELANCER and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform and Protected Materials, including all intellectual-property and proprietary rights, except for content that a user independently owns and lawfully submits.
No ownership interest is transferred by access, registration, membership, reservation, payment, download, inspection, testing, or use.
All rights not expressly granted in a written agreement signed by an authorized FREELANCER representative are reserved. Purchase of transportation, membership, development, advertising, or other services does not grant any ownership, franchise, agency, partnership, employment, publishing, sublicensing, or commercialization right in the FREELANCER brand or Platform.
FREELANCER’s names, slogans, taglines, signature phrases, logos, and program names are proprietary brand identifiers when and to the extent they identify the source of FREELANCER goods or services. They may include, without limitation, “Executive Mobility, Powered by Intelligence,” “IT PAYS TO RIDE,” “IT PAYS TO DRIVE,” “WE DON’T FILL SEATS…WE CREATE SPACE,” “WE DON’T CREATE BUSINESSES…WE CREATE LEGACIES,” “FREELANCER Mobility Experience,” “Partner-Chauffeur,” and related stylizations, variations, campaign phrases, and successor marks.
The symbols ™ and SM may identify claimed trademark or service-mark rights. The symbol ® shall be used only for a mark that is federally registered for the relevant goods or services. Omission of a symbol does not constitute abandonment or permission to use a mark.
No person may use a FREELANCER brand identifier in a manner likely to cause confusion regarding affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, origin, approval, or authorization. Prohibited conduct includes copying or adapting a slogan for competing transportation, mobility, chauffeur, membership, technology, or related services; using confusingly similar names, domains, handles, app names, metadata, paid-search terms, or social-media identifiers; or removing trademark notices.
Original authorship embodied in the Platform—including original written expression, policies, graphics, photographs, audiovisual content, software, code, and protectable selection, coordination, or arrangement—is owned by FREELANCER or used under license.
Copyright protection does not extend to ideas, facts, systems, methods of operation, names, titles, slogans, or short phrases standing alone, but it may protect original expression, software, artwork, and compilations in which such elements appear.
Unless expressly authorized in writing or permitted by applicable law, no person may copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, display, perform, transmit, translate, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, sell, license, scrape, archive, mirror, frame, or commercially exploit any Protected Material.
Subject to continuing compliance with all applicable agreements, FREELANCER grants an authorized user a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and nonsublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for its intended passenger, applicant, Partner-Chauffeur, business-partner, or administrative purpose.
This license ends automatically when authorization, membership, employment or contractor access, or the applicable service relationship ends, or when FREELANCER revokes access for a permitted reason.
The limited license does not authorize reproduction of policies or agreements for another business; extraction or reuse of text, images, vehicle classifications, pricing logic, datasets, or workflows; creation of a competing or substantially similar service; or use of FREELANCER content to train, test, benchmark, or improve an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system without prior written authorization.
Confidential Information means nonpublic information disclosed or made accessible through credentials, restricted pages, applications, onboarding, development, testing, business communications, demonstrations, or a service relationship that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential from its nature and the circumstances of disclosure.
Trade Secrets are Confidential Information that derive actual or potential economic value from not being generally known or readily ascertainable through proper means and are subject to reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy.
A recipient of Confidential Information shall:
Information is not Confidential Information to the extent the recipient can establish through reliable written records that it: (a) was lawfully known without restriction before disclosure; (b) became public without breach of duty; (c) was received lawfully from a third party without a confidentiality obligation; or (d) was independently developed without use of or reference to FREELANCER Confidential Information.
If a recipient is legally compelled by a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other binding legal process to disclose Confidential Information, the recipient shall—unless prohibited by law—provide prompt written notice to FREELANCER, disclose only the portion legally required, and reasonably cooperate in efforts to seek confidential treatment or other protection. Nothing in this Policy prohibits reporting possible violations of law to a government agency, making disclosures protected by whistleblower law, or exercising any nonwaivable legal right.
Except where a restriction is prohibited by applicable law, no person may:
A user retains ownership of original content the user lawfully owns and submits to the Platform. The user grants FREELANCER a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, administer, improve, document, or comply with legal obligations concerning the requested services, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Suggestions, ideas, or feedback voluntarily submitted without a separate written confidentiality agreement may be used by FREELANCER without restriction or compensation, provided FREELANCER does not thereby acquire ownership of the user’s preexisting intellectual property. Users shall not submit content they lack authority to provide.
Third-party names, marks, software, maps, payment services, APIs, photographs, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners and may be governed by separate licenses or terms. Their appearance on the Platform does not transfer ownership to FREELANCER or grant a user any license beyond the rights supplied by the applicable owner.
FREELANCER’s policy does not claim ownership of third-party intellectual property.
A person who believes Protected Materials are being copied, disclosed, misappropriated, or used without authorization should submit written notice through the FREELANCER Contact Us page and include: the reporter’s name and contact information; identification of the protected work, mark, or information; the location and nature of the disputed use; the basis for the claim; relevant supporting records; and a statement that the submission is accurate and made in good faith. FREELANCER may request additional information and may preserve evidence, restrict access, or take other reasonable action while reviewing the report.
Unauthorized use or disclosure may cause harm that cannot be fully repaired by money alone. To the extent permitted by law and any applicable agreement, FREELANCER may suspend or terminate access, preserve evidence, demand removal or return of materials, seek injunctive or equitable relief, recover damages or other available remedies, and refer suspected unlawful activity to appropriate authorities. Remedies are cumulative and no delay in enforcement constitutes a waiver.
Nothing in this Policy predetermines that any particular slogan, phrase, feature, method, or item qualifies for a specific form of legal protection. Any claim will be evaluated under the facts, registrations, contracts, and law applicable at the time.
Permission must be express and in writing. Silence, public display, limited disclosure, testing access, failure to place a notice on every page, or prior failure to enforce a right does not create consent, an implied license, abandonment, waiver, estoppel, or transfer of ownership.
If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be limited or severed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect. Ownership, confidentiality, trade-secret, use-restriction, evidence-preservation, enforcement, and remedy provisions survive termination of access or any relationship with FREELANCER for as long as the underlying right or lawful obligation remains protectable.
This Policy is governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute-resolution, arbitration, venue, limitation-of-liability, or notice provision in the Terms and Conditions or another binding FREELANCER agreement is incorporated to the extent applicable.
If no separate binding dispute provision applies, the parties consent to exclusive venue in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, except where applicable law requires otherwise or permits FREELANCER to seek emergency injunctive relief in another court of competent jurisdiction.
FREELANCER may update this Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, services, security, or business operations. The current version will be posted with its effective or last-updated date. Material changes will be communicated when required by applicable law. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law; changes do not retroactively transfer ownership or eliminate vested legal rights.
Questions, permission requests, or reports concerning confidentiality or proprietary rights may be submitted through the Contact Us page at FREELANCER’s official website. A request for permission must identify the specific material, proposed use, audience, duration, territory, and distribution method. No permission is effective unless confirmed in writing by an authorized FREELANCER representative.
IMPORTANT NOTICE. This Policy is intended for website publication and contractual notice. It does not replace individualized legal advice.
This Policy was drafted with reference to general principles described by the U.S. Copyright Office and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and to California’s statutory definition of trade secrets. These references are informational and are not incorporated as promises to users:
