What the work is, what each task earns, and the code of conduct

What this form asks

Your name and phone number — so somebody can ring you about a task
The languages you speak — so a task is written in one of them
Where you live — so you are offered tasks near you; it is kept as you give it, and the terms say who sees it
How far you can travel, and by what — so you are not offered somewhere you cannot reach
Your phone and whether you have data — so the app is not asking something your phone cannot do
What you do, and anything relevant — a few words is enough
One reference — a name and a way to reach them. Somebody will ring them

What Aangus never asks for

an ID number of any kind, your address, bank details, your religion, your ethnicity. There is nowhere in the system to put them.
