If points are recovered, and the member has already converted the points into cash or there are insufficient points to recover, the points will be marked as negative.
In such cases, any points awarded for future tasks will first be used to offset the negative points, and the member will not be able to apply for a cash withdrawal until the negative balance is cleared.
Members may convert points earned from tasks into cash. To apply for cash withdrawal, members must register their bank account information in the "My Page" section. However, if necessary (such as in the case of contract termination), the Company may convert the member’s points (in denominations of less than 1,000) into cash and deposit the funds into the member’s registered account, even if the member has not applied for withdrawal.

If a member is confirmed to participate in a data task project for an external company or agrees to allow an external company to view their profile, the Company will provide the external company with the member’s personal information, including their name and contact information.
In such cases, unless the member withdraws their application or rejects the project proposal, they will be deemed to have agreed to the disclosure of their contact information to the external company.
Article 24 (Use and Restriction of the Brokerage Service)
When a member uses the brokerage service, it means that their profile will be accessible when an external company or the Company searches for workers who meet certain conditions, in addition to the member’s activities of applying directly to job postings.
