Stroller Patrol Mobile Application Privacy PolicyStroller Patrol Mobile Application Privacy Policy
Stroller Patrol (“Stroller Patrol,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy, and protecting the privacy of its users (“you” or the “End User”) is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from Users or that Users may provide when they use the Stroller Patrol mobile application (the “Application”). This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect from End Users as part of the normal operation of our Application and in providing the services to you, and how we use and disclose this information. However, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising), that may link to or be accessible from or on the Application.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully prior to accessing or using the Application. By accessing or using the Application, you consent to Stroller Patrol’s data practices and agree to terms and conditions stated in this Privacy Policy. Do not access or use the Application if you do not agree with the following policies and practices. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Stroller Patrol Mobile Application End User License Agreement (“Terms of Use”).
Our Policy Concerning Children
As stated in our Terms of Use, the Application is offered and available only to End Users who are 18 years of age or older. If you do not meet this eligibility requirement, you may not use the Application. Stroller Patrol does not knowingly collect or store any personal information from or about children under the age of 13. We will delete such information if we become aware that it has been submitted through the Application. Parents or legal guardians who believe that Stroller Patrol might have any personally identifiable information from or about a child under the age of 13 may submit a request to [email protected] and request that such information be removed.The Information We May Collect
Our primary purpose in collecting information from you is to provide you and our other End Users with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We only collect information about you that we consider to be necessary for providing services and features that optimize your user experience and to make it safer and easier. We may collect different information from or about you depending on the manner in which you use the Application.
Personally Identifiable Information: Stroller Patrol may collect and process information that could be directly associated with you without the aid of additional information, such as your full name, company name where applicable, user name and password, phone number, email address, billing or mailing address, or credit card information (“Personally Identifiable Information,” or “PII”). In addition, information that you submit, or that we collect, that is not Personally Identifiable Information but is necessary for the proper functioning of our Application is termed Demographic and Usage Information (see below), which is generally non-identifying, but associated with you as a specific and identifiable person, may become PII. You always have the option not to provide information by choosing not to use the Application or by not using the particular feature of the Application through or for which the information is being collected.
Mobile Analytics. Stroller Patrol may, according to the terms of our relationship with the wireless carrier and your privacy settings, collect certain information about End Users and their mobile devices when the Application is accessed through End Users’ mobile or other Internet connected devices. Stroller Patrol does not ask for, access, or track any precise location-based information. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our Application on End Users’ mobile or other Internet connected devices, which may record data relating to usage, performance, and download and will be treated like Demographic and Usage Data (discussed below).
Demographic and Usage Data: Stroller Patrol may collect information through the use of cookies, HTML5 local storage, and other similar technologies. “Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text files that are inserted and stored by your web browser on your hard drive. Stroller Patrol may set and access cookies on your computer or wireless device to track and store preferential information about you. We may gather anonymous information about End Users through cookie technology on an individual and aggregate level. Such information is used within Stroller Patrol internally and is only shared with third party advertisers, if any, on an aggregated or non-personally identifiable basis. You may opt out of receiving cookies from our Application by following the instructions in your web browser. Note, however, that deleting cookies or directing your browser to refuse them may limit your ability to use certain portions of our Application that require cookies to function. As is true of most other websites and mobile applications, Stroller Patrol gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, operating system, and other usage information about the use of the Application, including a history of the pages you view. We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you, including PII, to improve the Application, including customized recommendations and advertising, and to improve marketing. Web Beacons, also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs, are electronic images that allow a website to access cookies and help track marketing campaigns and general usage patterns of visitors to those websites. Web Beacons can recognize certain types of information, such as cookie numbers, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the Web Beacons are placed. No PII about you is shared with third parties through the use of Web Beacons on the Application. However, through Web Beacons, we may collect general information that will not personally identify you, such as: Internet browser, operating system, IP address, date of visit, time of visit and path taken through the Application. Stroller Patrol may use Web Beacons internally to count visitors and recognize visitors through cookies. Stroller Patrol may collect other non-PII as End Users browse the Application, such as the web traffic, what pages are visited, from where End Users come, and other demographic information, such as age, gender, and search habits. We may compile this non-personally identifying data to enable statistical analysis of our Application that would be used internally or with external assistance to make improvements to our Application. Stroller Patrol may provide non-PII to third parties, including advertisers, though these parties will be unable to identify End Users based on this anonymous information.
Location Information. The Application collects real-time information about the location of your mobile device. The Application collects current location information from users using GPS tracking technologies when the “track” function is enabled on the Application.
How We Use the Information We Collect
Stroller Patrol uses the information it collects for a number of purposes. We may use it to respond to End Users’ inquiries and otherwise correspond with End Users, to process transactions that End Users request, to maintain User accounts, to preserve the security and integrity of the Application, to conduct market research or surveys, and to administrate, review, and/or improve the content of the Application. We may also use the information to communicate with End Users about other services that we think may be of interest.
Stroller Patrol provides to parent/guardian End Users current location information of caregiver End Users. To avoid being tracked on off-duty hours, caregiver End Users must disable the “track” function to avoid inadvertent disclosure of location information.
Stroller Patrol may use and share non-PII we collect with third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Application or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on advertising you see. We may combine non-PII we collect with additional non-PII collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors. For more information regarding your choices about how third parties collect information about you on our Application see the section titled Do-Not-Track Procedures below.
Except as stated above, Stroller Patrol may disclose any of your information, which in some cases includes PII, in the following situations:
• With your consent. Stroller Patrol may transmit your PII to a third party when you give us express permission to do so. For example, this may occur when we track an End User’s current location if he or she does not disable that function inside the Application.
• In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business; a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale; or in the event of bankruptcy. If another company acquires Stroller Patrol, that company will take on all responsibility for the information we collect, including PII, and it will assume all rights and obligations with respect to that information. Should this happen, the acquiring company may implement its own policies with respect to your information.
• If we are required to disclose information by law. Stroller Patrol may be obligated to disclose an End User’s personal information if directed by a court of law or other governmental entity. Without limiting the forgoing, we reserve the right to disclose such information where we have a good faith basis to believe that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law; (b) protect and defend Stroller Patrol’s rights and property, or safety of Stroller Patrol, our End Users, our employees, or others; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Application and/or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies; and/or (d) protect the personal safety or property of End Users or the public. In the event that your information is disclosed, we will comply with the law and make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you.
Please be aware that all of the information that you disclose or content that you post in your user profile, forum posts, comments, or other public portions of the Application becomes public information. Because this information is publicly available, we cannot control how others treat it so we ask all End Users to exercise care in deciding what information they chose to share. If you terminate your Stroller Patrol account, we may retain your personal information for administrative purposes but will not display it publicly or share it in any other way.
Data Retention
We will retain your data for a period of up to three (3) months (or the maximum time required by law) after your account has been cancelled or suspended. After this time, the information will be permanently removed from our servers and no one will be able to access it. Your personal information such as your email, name, type of account you had, and payment history will remain on file for a period of up to ten (10) years, or the maximum time required by law, to comply with government regulations.
Access to Your Information
Stroller Patrol will provide each End User with access to PII that it provides to Stroller Patrol for as long as we maintain that information in a readily accessible format, and will work with End Users to correct any error in their respective PII. If you wish to access or correct any PII that you have submitted through the Application, or to have Stroller Patrol completely remove your PII from our systems, please send an email with your specific request to [email protected]. Additionally, note that registered End Users may change visibility of their respective personal information throughout the Application by editing their personal profiles.
End Users who provide their email addresses to Stroller Patrol will always have the opportunity to opt out of receiving email newsletters and promotions through the unsubscribe link in the email communications, by logging into and changing the preferences for their user account, or sending us an email with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line to [email protected].
Securing Your Information
Stroller Patrol takes a range of security measures designed to protect your personal information and keep it confidential (unless it is non-confidential by nature, for example, publicly-available information) and free from any unauthorized alteration. However, the Internet by its nature is not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving, as are the technical and organizational industry standards relating to management of those risks. Therefore, the complete security of any personal information collected, stored, or used by Stroller Patrol cannot be guaranteed. In the unlikely event that an unauthorized third-party compromises Stroller Patrol’s security measures, Stroller Patrol will not be responsible for any damages directly or indirectly caused by an unauthorized third party’s ability to view, use, or disseminate such information.
Third Parties and Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties through the Application, including with other End Users or individuals, different rules may apply to their use, collection, and disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. Since we do not control the information use, collection, or disclosure policies of third parties, you are subject to their privacy policies. The Application may include links to third party websites, which contain separate and independent privacy policies. Stroller Patrol is not responsible for the practices of, or content contained within, these third-party websites, and strongly recommend that End Users read and review the privacy policy of any such sites that they visit.
Do-Not-Track Procedures and California Residents
Note that any Do-Not-Track instructions from your browser, mobile device, or similar mechanism will not affect our collection of the data that End Users voluntarily provide to Stroller Patrol through such means as browsing the Application, signing up for any of the Application, entering PII into information fields on the Application, or posting on any of our forums or blogs. Be advised that third parties are free to collect any information that you volunteer to Stroller Patrol that is visible to the public. Therefore, please do not provide Stroller Patrol with any information that you do not want collected.
If you are a resident of California, in addition to the rights set forth in this Privacy Policy, you generally have the right to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Under the law, however, a business is not required to provide this information if it adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an “opt-out,” as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy and provides a cost free means to exercise that right. If you wish to opt-out of having your personal information disclosed for direct marketing purposes you may make such a request free of charge by emailing us with at [email protected].
