1. INTRODUCTION

Prize Pest Control, Inc.’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.prizepestcontrol.com/privacy-policy. Prize Pest Control collects, processes, stores, and may share information about you when you interact with us, our content, products or services, including at our website, https://www.prizepestcontrol.com (collectively the “Site”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to products, services, or websites that display a different privacy policy, including affiliate websites that have their own privacy policies. It also does not apply to information collected by any other third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Site.

By using the Site, you agree to the processing of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Site or provide information to us.

2. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We may collect different types of information from you, including Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual, household, or device, and that is not publicly available.

We also collect non-identifying information that does not directly or indirectly identify you, and cannot reasonably be used to identify you, such as deidentified or aggregate information. When non-identifying information is combined with other information so that it does identify an individual person, we treat that combination as Personal Information.

The following are examples of the types of information that may be collected about you when you interact with us, our products and services, or our Site:

Identification Information. For example, name, postal address, email address, unique personal or online identifier, internet protocol (IP) address, account name, Social Security Number (SSN), driver’s license, or governmental identification number.

Customer Records. For example, records of the products or services you have purchased, obtained, or considered, other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies, or educational, professional, or employment-related information.

Financial Information. For example, debit or credit card information, bank account information, signatures, or billing addresses.

Correspondence. For example, information provided when you call, email, or write to us, respond to voluntary surveys or feedback requests, or enter a contest or promotion.

User-Generated Content. For example, content generated by engaging with Prize Pest’s publicly-facing interactive properties (e.g., its social media pages), including comments, recommendations, reviews, ratings, or any other posts or information voluntarily submitted to such properties (“Public Activities”).

Internet or Other Similar Network Activity. For example, browsing or search history; device information, such as hardware, IP address, operating system version, browser type and settings, language and font settings, or other information about the device used to access the Site; or other information about your interaction with a website, application, or advertisement.

Geolocation Information. For example, physical location or movements.

6. USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

6.1. Automated Data Collection Technologies We Use

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may use the following technologies to automatically collect data about your visit:

Cookies. A "cookie" is a small amount of information that a web server sends to your browser that stores information about your account, your preferences, and your use of the Site. Some cookies contain serial numbers that allow us to connect your activity with the Site with other information we store about you in your profile or as related to your interactions with Site. Some cookies are temporary, whereas others may be configured to last longer. For instance:

“Session cookies” are temporary cookies used for various reasons, such as to manage page views. Your browser usually erases Session cookies once you exit your browser.

"Persistent cookies" are more permanent cookies that are stored on your computers or mobile devices even beyond when you exit your browser. We use Persistent cookies for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided.

“Flash cookies,” known as local shared objects, are data files placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built-in to or downloaded by you to your Device to personalize your visit. Flash cookies are different from standard browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored.

Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages so that we can provide a customized experience. They also help us detect certain kinds of fraud.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a Persistent or Session cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your Device, some features of the Site may not function properly. For instance, if cookies are disabled, you will not be able to log into the Site and therefore you will experience an anonymous user experience.

HTML5. HTML5 is another form of collection, tracking and storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies can be used to track users across website but are not stored in browsers' cookie files. To our knowledge there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.

Pixel Tags and Web Beacons. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on the Site or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions. When you access the Site or open email messages, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action to us, or our service providers. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve the Site and promotions.

Embedded Scripts. We also use embedded scripts, which are programming codes designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other automatic data collection technologies is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about Site users to optimize our products and services and understand traffic and usage patterns.

In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information. Whenever we associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.

6.2. Third Party Analytic Technologies and Targeted Advertising

We use third-party analytic and tracking tools to better understand how people use the Site, and how to improve the effectiveness of the Site and its content, and to help those parties or us to serve more targeted advertising to you across the Internet. Those third-party companies may use cookies, pixel tags, or other technologies to collect and store Usage Information and Device Information. They might combine information they collect from your interaction with Site with Personal Information they collect from other sources. We do not have access to, nor control over, third parties' use of cookies or other tracking technologies.

If you wish to exercise choice with respect to collection and use of the data by third-party tools, you may visit: https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN.

Some of the analytic and tracking tools we use are Google Analytics and Google Analytics Advertising. The Google Analytics Advertising features we use include the following:

Remarketing

Google Display Network Impression Reporting

Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting

Integrated services that require Google Analytics to collect data via advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers

To prevent data from being collected by Google Universal Analytics, use the opt-out browser add-on developed by Google for this purpose available here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-US.

8. DATA SECURITY

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information we collect and process. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, the Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which encrypts your payment card number, name and address so only we are able to decode your information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Site, and you do so at your own risk.
