Does UpWork check your location?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:34 pm

There is no definitive answer to this question as UpWork does not explicitly state whether or not they use location tracking to verify your identity or location. However, UpWork does collect certain information about users, including their IP address, which could potentially be used to track their location.

PRO TIP: If you are using a VPN or other anonymizing service, please be aware that Upwork may check your location and may take action if it believes you are accessing the site from a prohibited country.

Additionally, UpWork does not explicitly state that user data is never shared with third-party vendors, and so it is possible that location information could be shared with these vendors. As such, it is important to be aware of the possible ways in which your personal information could be used, and to take steps to protect yourself if you believe that your location is being tracked or shared without your consent.
