Protection of Customer Information
We understand the importance of privacy to our customers and visitors to Pet Sitters Unlimited, LLC web sites. For many years, our policy has been to treat what we learn about our customers as confidential. For example, we will not give or sell confidential or Personal Information (as described below) about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide Pet Sitting services to the customer.
We collect and store information about every customer so that we can efficiently provide the services needed by our customers. We use information about our customers, their prefered service(s) , and their activity to provide or enhance the services we make available to our customers, communicate with our customers about additional services they may find of value, satisfy our legitimate business interests (including performing trend analysis and market studies), set prices, fulfill Confirmed Service Agreements, accomplish the billing function, and comply with government regulations.
As we collect and use information about our customers, we may contract with vendors to assist us in processing that information for those purposes listed in the previous paragraph. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any other purpose. In addition, as Pet Sitters Unlimited continues to develop its business, we may buy or sell subsidiaries or business units. As part of these transactions, customer information of the subsidiaries or business units may be one of the transferred assets.
Some of the information collected by Pet Sitters Unlimited is data which relates to an identifiable person ("Personal Information"). Examples of Personal Information are names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers and telephone numbers. We never sell information to third parties that could be used to specifically identify an individual customer or group of customers. Anonymized data, with all names, addresses and other Personal Information removed, is sometimes shared with third parties. Finally, we do provide Personal Information to government agencies as required by law or regulation.
In addition to the uses of the information described in the paragraphs above, we collect emergency telephone numbers or e-mail addresses in the event of an emergency.
How does Pet Sitters Unlimited protect customer information?
When you schedule service or access your account information, we use a secure server. This secure server software, SSL (secure sockets layer) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer transactional data we collect is protected against unauthorized access with the use of digital certificates. Pet Sitters digital certificates are issued by VeriSign, one of the most established signers of digital certificates.
