Taska is committed to building a safe, transparent and trusted marketplace. Users must act responsibly, provide accurate information, respect other community members and comply with applicable laws and Taska policies.
Draft for legal review. Written for Nigeria first (NDPA 2023, FCCPA 2018, CBN payment rules) with a United Kingdom notice (UK GDPR, Consumer Rights Act 2015). It must be reviewed and approved by qualified legal professionals in each country before Taska launches there.
The rules
Short, simple, and they matter.
- Never share your password with anyone — Taska staff will never ask for it.
- Never share your NIN with another user. We never ask for it in chat.
- Never send money to someone claiming to be from Taska. Pay only through the app.
- Be suspicious of any job that asks you to pay a fee to get work.
- Keep chat and payment inside Taska — outside it there is no escrow, no record and no cover.
- Meet in a public place first where you can, and tell someone where you are going.
- Report harassment, threats or anything that makes you uncomfortable — we take it seriously.
- Do not create fake accounts or pretend to be another person.
- Do not post fake or misleading task listings.
If something goes wrong
Use Report a problem from any profile, task or chat. You can track the status of your report in Settings → Privacy & Security. In an emergency, contact the Nigeria Police on 112 first, then tell us.
What we do on our side
We verify identity, hold payments in escrow, monitor for suspicious sign-ins and fraud patterns, and review every report a person files. Accounts that put others at risk are suspended.
