PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) tells you about PestControlCompanies.net’s privacy practices governing personal information we may collect when you visit our website (the “Site”), and how we may use and share that information. Your prior activities on the Site may have been governed by an earlier version of this Policy.
From time to time, we may use your information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our Policy. If our information practices do change materially, we will post the changes to our Site and revise our Policy accordingly. In addition, if we have collected personally-identifying information from you, we will notify you and secure your consent before using your personal information in new ways.
What Information Do We Collect?
Personal Information:
We collect personal information you choose to provide to us in connection with your activities on the Site, such as finding a local pest control company and providing service feedback. This information may include your name, email, postal address and phone number.
Other User Information We Collect:
In addition, for each visitor to our Site, we automatically collect certain other potentially identifying information and store it in log files. This information includes (as applicable) browser type and version, operating system and network, referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, whether you are a new or returning visitor, and frequency of visits. We collect and store this information only in aggregate, or combined, form; we do not connect it to an individual user’s personal information.
Cookies:
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a user’s computer that recognizes your IP address for record-keeping purposes. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. Session cookies also record session information, such as which web pages a user has visited, and to track user activity on our Site. Cookies will expire when browser cache is cleared.
Portions of our Site may contain tracking technologies implemented by our partners, including cookies, Facebook Pixel, or similar future technologies, to track user activity on our Site in connection with their marketing initiatives and other business activities. Any data collected via these technologies is collected directly by the applicable contractor and is subject to their separate privacy practices as described in “Information about Independent Franchisees’ and Contractors’ Sites” below.
You can reject cookies through your browser. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some of the areas of our Site will be limited.
Analytics:
To determine how many users visit our Site, how often they visit the Site, and to better understand the areas of greatest interest to our visitors, we use a tool called “Google Analytics” to compile this information for us. As a result of your visit to our Site, Google may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information, and schedule order numbers. We do not combine the information collected through the use of analytics tools with personally identifiable information. For more information about the analytics company’s ability to use and share information about your visits to this Site, see https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
“Do Not Track” Signals:
We do not currently have the capability to recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. We adhere to the standards set forth in this Policy.
How Do We Use and Share the Information We Collect?
We store and process your personal information to process and fulfill orders, to provide locally relevant information, to assist with our promotional and recruitment efforts, to respond to inquiries, and to provide other services through the Site. We may also send you information and marketing materials we believe will be of interest to you. You can opt out of email correspondence at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism in any email from us; however, we may still send you emails to facilitate agreed-upon transactions.
Because we operate through third-party tracking services and route your call to local contractors, we share your information with them as appropriate, such as to schedule and provide services as requested, to provide feedback, and so on.
We also use information we collect to analyze trends, to administer the Site, and to track users’ movements around the Site. We also use this information to improve the Site and to make it more useful to visitors.
How Long Do We Keep the Information We Collect?
We will retain your personal information in accordance with our continuing need to service this relationship and/or to improve our Site. To ensure continuity and excellence in service, we keep a service history for each customer.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, and to guard that information against loss, misuse, or alteration. All network connections are secured via a SSL certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority with SHA-256 encryption.
Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
How to Correct Information
If you wish to update or correct any personal information we have about you, send your request to [email protected]. To help us process the request, please provide sufficient information to allow us to identify you in our records. We reserve the right to ask for information verifying your identity before we disclose or modify any information in our possession.
Links to Third Party Sites; Information about Partners and Contractors’ Sites
This Policy applies only to information collected by this Site. From time to time, the Site may link you to other websites (“Linked Sites”) that are not owned by us, even though they provide goods or services related to our company. We do not control the collection or use of any information, including personal information, that occurs during your visit to the Linked Sites. Further, we make no representations about the privacy policies or practices of the Linked Sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Be careful of disclosing any of your personally identifiable information when leaving our Site. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
Some of our partners may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read if you visit those sites.
SPAM
We do not participate in bulk email solicitations that you have not consented to receiving (i.e., “Spam”). We do not sell or disclose customer lists or email address lists to unrelated third parties. Except as otherwise provided herein, we do not share personal information with any third party advertisers.
California Privacy Rights
