Upwork Contact

Sharing contact information or asking others to share contact information before a contract starts is against Upwork Terms of Service, and may result in temporary restrictions, loss of talent badges, or permanent loss of account access.

Contact information includes phone numbers, user ID for communication tools (like Skype, Slack, or WeChat), email address, home or work address, and less direct sources, like:

  • Sharing or filling in a form asking for contact information
  • Linking to an applicant management system or another way of submitting a proposal or application outside of Upwork
  • Sharing or asking for any social media handles
