Our company THE GROOMERS LLC knows that you care about your personal information, how is used and how is shared
but let us reassure you that we take your privacy seriously. Protecting and offering a transparent Privacy is
essential to earn your Trust. Please read this document to learn more about our Privacy Policy. By using or
accessing the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this
Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following
ways.
Remember that your use of THE GROOMERS LLC's Services is always subject to THE GROOMERS LLC's Terms including this
Privacy Policy.
Coverage
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that we
collect when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of companies we don't own or
control, or people that we don't manage. We collect various types of Personal Information from our users and we
use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and
improve our services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you and allow our Pet Groomers
to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the
Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described
below.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13,
please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we
learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as
quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please
contact us at info@thegroomersllc.com.
Change to our Privacy Policy
At The Groomer LLC we are constantly improving our Services, as a result of that we may need to change this
Privacy Policy from time to time, however we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the www.groomrs.com,
by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you've opted not to receive legal notice
emails from us (or you haven't provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your
use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services
after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all the changes. Use of
information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
Information Collected
Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process
and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Information such as
your name, email address, phone number, and third-party account credentials (for example, your log-in credentials
for Facebook or other third party sites). If you provide your third-party account credentials to us or otherwise
sign in to the Services through a third-party site or service, you understand some content and/or information in
those accounts ("Third Party Account Information") may be transmitted into your account with us if you authorize
such transmissions, and that Third-Party Account Information transmitted to our Services is covered by this
Privacy Policy. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our
features.
We may communicate with you if you've provided us the means to do so. For example, if you've given us your email
address, we may send you promotional email offers on behalf of other businesses, or email you about your use of
the Services. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make
our communications with you more interesting and improve our services. If you do not want to receive
communications from us, please indicate your preference by clicking the unsubscribe links in our emails.
Information Collected Automatically
Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from
your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, "cookie"
information, the type of browser and/or device you're using to access our Services, and the page or feature you
requested. "Cookies" are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser
or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may
be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device's acceptance of
cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your browser or device, when you click on ads that appear on
the Services. Also, if you click on a link to a third party website or service, a third party may also transmit
cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren't
responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may
continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not
honor "Do Not Track" requests you have set using your browser or device.
We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We
may also use it to improve the Services – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular
feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as
possible.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help analyze how our users' use the Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect
information such as how often our users visit the Service, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used
prior to coming to the Service. We may use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Service or
to send you promotional messages about our Services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on
the date you visit the Service, but not your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine
the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with any personally identifying information.
Although Google Analytics plants a
persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Service, the
Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google
Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google
Privacy Policy. You may find additional information about Google Analytics at
www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Finally, you can opt out of Google Analytics by using the following
add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Information Collected From Other Websites and Do Not Track Policy
Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after
you leave our Services. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve
the Services and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy. Your browser
may offer you a "Do Not Track" option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications
and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of
your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Services do not support Do Not Track requests
at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the
Services and after you leave our Services.
Policy for Sharing Personal Information
We do not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. We may share your
Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:
Information that's been de-identified. We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified
as an individual, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to
our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand
how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online
experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage or de- identified information to a partner (or allow a
partner to collect such information) in a manner that would identify you as an individual person.
Advertisers:
We allow advertisers and/or merchant partners ("Advertisers") to choose the demographic information of users who
will see their advertisements and/or promotional offers and you agree that we may provide any of the information
we have collected from you in non-personally identifiable form to an Advertiser, in order for that Advertiser to
select the appropriate audience for those advertisements and/or offers. We might allow Advertisers to display
their ads to users with similar usage patterns to yours, but we will not disclose usage information to Advertisers
except in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. Note that if an advertiser asks
us to show an ad to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that ad, the advertiser may conclude
that you fit the description of the audience they were trying to reach.
We may deliver a file to you through the Services (known as a "web beacon") from an ad network. Web beacons allow
ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web
beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because
your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network's servers, these companies
can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. You may be able
to opt-out of web beacon tracking conducted by third parties through our Services by adjusting the Do Not Track
settings on your browser; please note that we don't control whether or how these third parties comply with Do Not
Track requests.
Affiliated Businesses:
In certain situations, businesses or third party websites we're affiliated with may sell or provide products or
services to you through or in connection with the Services (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize
when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal
Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service.
One such service may include the ability for you to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your
Services profile or to automatically transmit information in your Services profile to your third party account. We
have no control over the policies and practices of third party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything
else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business,
please review all such business' or websites' policies.
Agents:
We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them
to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company to receive and
process your credit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to
use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. Note that an "agent" may
also be considered a "partner" in certain circumstances, and would be subject to the terms of the "Information
that's been de-identified" section in that regard.
User Profiles and Submissions:
User Profiles and Submissions: Certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any video or
image content that such user has uploaded to the Services, may be displayed to other users to facilitate user
interaction within the Services or address your request for our services. Please remember that any content you
upload to your public user profile, along with any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose
online in a manner other users can view (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, etc.) becomes publicly
available, and can be collected and used by anyone. Your user name may also be displayed to other users if and
when you send messages or comments or upload images or videos through the Services and other users can contact you
through messages and comments. Additionally, if you sign into the Services through a third party social networking
site or service, your list of "friends" from that site or service may be automatically imported to the Services,
and such "friends," if they are also registered users of the Services, may be able to access certain non- public
information you have entered in your Services user profile. Again, we do not control the policies and practices of
any other third party site or service.
Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information
in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired,
or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information
could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Protection of GROOMRS LLC and Others:
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we [reasonably] believe is
necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms and other agreements; or protect the
rights, property, or safety of THE GROOMERS LLC, our employees, our users, or others.
Personal Information protection and security
Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third
party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-on protections via that third party site or
service. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting
your password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and
browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but
unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and
other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
Personal Information accessibility
Through your account settings, you may access, and, in some cases, edit or delete the information you've provided
to us. The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services change. If you have any
questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us contact@groomrs.com
You can always opt not to disclose information to us, but keep in mind some information may be needed to register
with us or to take advantage of some of our features.
You may be able to add, update, or delete information as explained above. When you update information, however, we
may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. You may request deletion of your account by
contacting contact@groomrs.com and asking us to
delete your account. Some information may remain in our records
after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or
incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you
personally.
Contact Us.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send us a detailed message to
contact@groomrs.com and we will try to resolve your
concerns.
