"Outlier presents a CRITICAL privacy risk profile (78/100) due to extensive collection and sharing of sensitive biometric data, government identifiers, and SSN with minimally restricted third-party task requesters and advertising networks. The policy employs vague retention standards, lacks granular consent for data sharing with Customers, and relies on external third-party vendors with independent policies that limit user control. Combined with automatic tracking technologies and limited opt-out mechanisms, this creates substantial exposure of highly sensitive personal information."
