This Privacy Policy applies to information gathered through the website at www.simplypest.com and any of our mobile applications (collectively, the "Site(s)"), and all other online services, publications, and call centers owned or controlled by PestRoutes OpCo, LLC (d/b/a SimplyPest) (“SimplyPest,” “we,” “us” or “our”). This Privacy Policy informs you of how SimplyPest processes the personal data that we collect in online and offline formats, the privacy practices we undertake, the types of data we collect, how we secure that data, and how long we retain that data.
When we use the term “Services” in this Privacy Policy, we mean:
We may collect your Personal Data through different means:
It is up to you whether you want to provide us with information or authorize third parties to provide us with information. When we ask you to provide information, you can decline and still visit the Site to learn more about us and what we do. However, if you choose not to provide information to us, we may be unable to provide you our Services.
We may collect the following types of personal data, which are or may be capable of identifying an individual ("Personal Data"):
If you submit any Personal Data to us relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By submitting Personal Data, you grant SimplyPest the right to transmit, monitor, retrieve, store and use your information in connection with the operation of the Site and in providing our Services.
When you use our Site, we use technology and Google Analytics to gather information on how visitors are using the Site. Specifically, we use technology to gather information about the browser, device, internet connection, IP address, time zone setting, operating system and platform, via cookies employed on our Site. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. IP addresses allow computers (including mobile devices and tablets) and servers to recognize and communicate with one another. We collect IP address information so that we can properly manage our system and gather information about how our Site is being used. This includes the device type and browser you are using, location data, the pages you are viewing and your interactions on the page. Your IP address may be associated with records containing Personal Data. We collect details of visits to our Site, including the volume of traffic received, logs and the resources that you have accessed. (Please also see the Cookies Notice section below.)
By providing a cellular telephone number to us, you expressly consent to, and authorize us or a third party on our behalf to deliver autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing calls and/or text messages to the number you provide. You are not required to consent to these calls as a condition to purchasing any goods or services, but withholding your consent may prevent us from providing certain services to you. This consent encompasses all future autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing calls and text messages from us or a third party placing these calls on our behalf. You may revoke consent to receive text messages at any time by contacting us as provided in the Contact Us section below including by texting STOP or the designated opt-out keyword provided by the third-party text messaging market provider. We may also collect certain location information such as your mobile device’s GPS signal, or information about nearby WiFi access points and cell towers.
We may supplement information you provide to us with information from other sources, such as information to validate or update your address, payment card or other demographic information. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, to enable us to fulfill our products and services, or other business purposes.
We only collect the information reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries about our Services, to provide you the Services, to carry out our operations, as required by law, and for the other legitimate business purposes, under applicable laws, as summarized below:
We do not monitor or profile visitors to our Site or collect, in any automated manner, any special categories of sensitive Personal Data about you. No automated decision-making, including profiling, is used when processing your Personal Data.
In addition to the uses described above, we may use your Personal Data for the following purposes if you become a customer or a customer of our customer. Some of these uses may, under certain circumstances be based on your consent, may be necessary to fulfill our contractual commitments to you, or are necessary to serve our legitimate interests in the following business operations:
We may disclose aggregated information that does not identify any individual (and therefore, is not deemed to be Personal Data) without restriction. We share Personal Data with the following categories of recipients:
Third-party vendors. Your Personal Data will only be shared with and processed by our affiliates and non-affiliated third-party service providers as permitted by law and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose Personal Data to certain non-affiliated specialized service providers, including professional advisors, consultants, insurers, technical service providers, and other third parties, who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. We may disclose your Personal Data to third-party service providers to provide us with services such as Site hosting, including information technology and telephony services, and related infrastructure, customer service, e-mail delivery, auditing and other similar services. We may share credit card information with trusted third parties in order to bill you for our Services.
Corporate affiliates. We may share your information with our corporate affiliates that are subject to this policy.
Business transfers. When applicable, we may share your information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of a website, a merger, consolidation, asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
With your consent or at your direction. We may share information for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect the information or pursuant to your consent or direction.
Other legal reasons. In addition, we may use or disclose your Personal Data as we deem necessary or appropriate: (1) under applicable law; (2) to respond to requests from public and government authorities; (3) to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain; (4) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (5) to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of SimplyPest, our affiliates, you, and others; and (6) to enforce our Terms of Use and other agreements.
SimplyPest keeps Personal Data on file, but does not share, sell, license or transmit this information to third parties or external vendors unless required to do so by legal, judicial or governmental proceedings, or to provide the Services requested.
We use security measures appropriate for the sensitivity of the Personal Data and consistent with industry standards, including reasonable organizational, technical, physical and administrative measures to maintain the privacy and security of your Personal Data within our organization. Accordingly, we prevent unauthorized access by a secure firewall and use of security technologies to protect the integrity and privacy of any Personal Data you provide. We also use industry standard encryption technology to protect any financial, credit card and/or password information. Although we work hard to protect your Personal Data, SimplyPest cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us through online forms and applications, and you do so at your own risk. Please note that email is considered a non-encrypted (and therefore non-secure) form of communication, and it can be accessed and viewed by others without your knowledge and permission. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information that you consider confidential. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be secure at all times. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the Contact Us section below. We will let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
