If we cannot reasonably associate this information with you, we treat it as anonymous Usage Data.

We may de-identify or anonymize Personal Information so that it is no longer capable of being associated with you and therefore is no longer Personal Information. We may use and disclose de-identified or anonymized information without restriction. We will not attempt to re-identify previously de-identified or anonymized information.

We may ask you to provide us with Personal Information when you communicate with us online or offline, including events, surveys, and marketing or promotional programs. You are not required to provide us your Personal Information; however, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some features of the Sites or Services or we may not be able to fulfill your requested interaction. We may also capture Personal Information when you contact us by phone, email, or through other means.

THIRD-PARTY DATA SOURCES

We may collect Personal Information from third-party data sources such as data brokers, consumer reporting agencies, marketing agencies and partners, analytics firms, other consumers, and government agencies.

COOKIES AND OTHER AUTOMATED TOOLS

We and third parties use cookies (small text files placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser) and other automated tools such as tracking pixels and clear gifs (collectively referred to herein as “cookies”) to track your interaction with our Sites and to improve the experience of the Sites and Services, such as saving your preferences from visit to visit to present you with a customized version of the Website.

Such information may be associated with other Usage Data or Personal Information.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We may work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks (“Advertisers”) to learn more about you and show you ads or other content that we believe would be relevant to you.

Please note that opt-outs only apply to interest-based advertising. You may still receive other types of online advertising.

Exemptions may apply. Consumer privacy rights include:

RIGHT TO OPT-OUT FROM THE SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to direct us not to sell or share (for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising purposes) your Personal Information to third parties. We will process verified requests within 15 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

RIGHT TO KNOW

You have the right to request twice per 12-month period that we provide you (i) the categories or specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which your Personal Information was collected; (iii) the business or commercial purpose(s) for which we collected your Personal Information; and (iv) the categories of third parties with whom we sold, shared, or disclosed your Personal Information, including the categories of Personal Information sold, share, or disclosed to each and the purposes for doing so.

We will not provide specific pieces of Personal Information unless you expressly request them.

To protect your Personal Information, you must provide the required information and/or documentation to verify your identity. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

We are not permitted to provide access to specific pieces of Personal Information if the Personal Information is sensitive or creates a high risk of potential harm from disclosure to an unauthorized person such as financial information, social security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. If we withhold specific sensitive Personal Information, we will inform you of the type of information withheld. For example, if we withhold a social security number, we will inform you that we have a social security number on file.

RIGHT TO DELETE

You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information we have collected about you. Please understand that we are not required to honor a deletion request if a legal exemption applies such as if we need the information to complete a requested or reasonably anticipated transaction, prevent security incidents or fraud, enable internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations, or comply with legal obligations. To prevent unauthorized individuals from making deletion requests, you must provide required information and/or documentation to verify your identity. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law. We will retain a record of your deletion request for at least two years as required by law.

RIGHT TO CORRECT

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we maintain about you. After you request to correct inaccurate Personal Information, we will provide instructions for you to provide us with optional documentation to support your request and we will consider it. We may decline to correct your Personal Information if a legal exemption applies such as if we determine that your request is fraudulent or abusive or if we determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that your correction is more likely inaccurate than accurate. We may decide to delete your allegedly inaccurate Personal Information instead of correcting it. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

If you only wish to update your contact information or other Personal Information rather than disputing its accuracy, please make the changes directly in your account or contact us at office@tinypest.com

RIGHT TO LIMIT USE OF SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we limit the use of your Sensitive Personal Information as defined under California law to only exempt purposes such as to provide the goods and services reasonably expected by the average consumer who requests such goods and services, to prevent fraud, and to verify or maintain the quality or safety of goods or services we provide.

If you are a Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska,  New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia resident and you make a request to limit the use of your Sensitive Personal Information as defined under your applicable state’s law, we will treat that request as a revocation of your consent for us to collect and process your Sensitive Personal Information and will delete your Sensitive Personal Information subject to any exemptions available under applicable law.

RIGHT TO APPEAL

You have the right to appeal our decision to deny, in full or in part, one or more of your privacy requests. We will process appeal requests within 45 days of receipt, subject to any applicable exemptions and extensions permitted by law. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons for our decision. If you are not satisfied with our explanation for the denial of your appeal, you may have an additional right under certain laws to contact your state Attorney General to submit a complaint about the appeal results. In such case, we will provide you with instructions for doing so.

SUBMITTING A PRIVACY REQUEST

If you are a resident of a state that provides privacy rights and would like to exercise a privacy right, you may submit a request by calling us at 307 201 9502 or submitting your request through our online webform. Please be specific in your request and provide at least your name, phone number, and property address. After you submit your request, we may contact you to obtain additional information necessary to verify your identity. For example, we may require you to verify certain information in our files or submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury verifying your identity. We will not be able to process certain requests without verifying your identity, so please respond promptly to our request.

To opt-out of third-party data collections from our Sites that qualify as sales or relate to targeted advertising, you may select cookie preferences using the link in the footer on our Sites. Our Sites also recognize and process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If we can reasonably associate a GPC signal with an identifiable consumer, we treat it as a request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of that consumer’s Personal Information as if the consumer made the request using one of the methods above. If we cannot reasonably associate a GPC signal with an identifiable consumer, we treat it as a request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of that user’s Personal Information collected while the signal is present. While the signal is present, we will also disable any third-party cookies or other third-party tracking tools present on the Sites.

AUTHORIZED AGENT

If you are an authorized agent submitting a request for another consumer, you must provide a copy of a lawful power of attorney or written signed authorization from the consumer (along with proof of your identity). After submitting the request, you will receive an email. You can respond to this email to provide the required documentation. We may contact you and/or the consumer on whose behalf you claim to act to verify your authorization.

NON-DISCRIMINATION NOTICE

We will not discriminate against any consumer for exercising their privacy rights under law or this Privacy Policy.

CALIFORNIA “DO NOT TRACK” DISCLOSURE

Do Not Track is a web browser privacy preference that causes the web browser to broadcast a signal to websites requesting that a user’s activity not be tracked. Currently, our Sites and Services do not respond to “do not track” signals.
