• In-app messages between a Client and Landscaper are visible to both parties and to YardLink administrators for support purposes
• Reviews and ratings submitted by Clients are publicly visible on the Landscaper’s profile

• Subscription and payment records may be retained for up to 7 years for financial compliance
