We collect and combine Information from and about the phones, computers, tablets, and other web-connected devices you use that integrate with PetBudeez.

How does our Company use your data?

We use the Information we collect (subject to choices you make) as described below to provide and support the PetBudeez and related services described in our Terms and Conditions.

Provide, personalize and improve our Products

We use the collected Information to personalize and improve our products and give you suggestions on pet owners groups you may be interested in following and pet topics and pet events of interest. While personalizing our PetBudeez to make it unique and relevant to you, we use your connections, preferences, interests, and activities in the data we collect. We learn from you and other users' data how you use and interact with PetBudeez and the pets, pet owners, places you are connected to and interested in while using our Product.

  1. Information across devices you use: We connect Information about your activities on different devices (phones, tablets) to provide you with an experience that is more tailored and consistent with who you are.

  2. Location-related Information: location-related Information is your current location, residence, the places you like to go to, and the businesses and people you visit. This data allows us to provide, personalize, and improve PetBudeez for you and others. Location-related Information can be based on your device location (if you allow PetBudeez to collect it), device IP addresses, and Information from your use and others' use of PetBudeez at events (such as pet events).

  3. Product research and development: We use the collected Information to develop, test, and improve our Products, including conducting surveys and research and testing and troubleshooting new features.

Promote safety, integrity, and security

The collected Information is beneficial in our efforts to verify accounts and activity, combat harmful interactions with our Product, maintain the integrity of our Product, and promote safety and security on our PetBudeez Platform. For example, we use our data to investigate suspicious activity or violations of our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.

Communication with Pet owners

Your Information is used to send you marketing and other communications about PetBudeez, our privacy policies, and our terms and conditions. Your Information allows us to respond quickly to your requests.

How do we share your Information?

Sharing on the PetBudeez platform

How can I modify or delete Information about my pet and myself?

We provide you with the functionality to access, rectify, report, and erase your data. Learn more in your PetBudeez Settings and Profile.

We store collected data until it is no longer necessary for our services to you or until you delete your account - whichever comes first. This decision is a case-by-case determination that depends on the data type, the purpose for collecting and processing it, and relevant legal or operational needs for its retention. As an example, when you search for a pet on PetBudeez, you can delete that query from your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after three months. However, If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID, we will verify your account and, in most cases, delete that copy 30 days after the review.

When you delete your account, we delete all your posts, such as your photos and comments, and you won't recover that Information later. Information that others have shared about you and your pet isn't part of the deal and won't be deleted. If all you want is not to delete your account but temporarily stop using it, just deactivate your account. For more on deleting your account at any time, please visit Settings and Profile.

Responding to legal requests and preventing harm on the PetBudeez platform

We access, preserve and share Information with law enforcement and regulators:

  1. When we receive a legal request (a search warrant, a court order, or a subpoena), we verify in good faith that the country law requires us to comply, that the legal request affects users in that jurisdiction and for non-US countries is consistent with international standard. Then we provide the Information. This response may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside the United States.

  2. When in our judgment, it is necessary to: detect and prevent fraud and other unauthorized use of the Product.

Information we receive about you is preserved and accessible for a longer period when required to satisfy a legal request, law enforcement, or a regulator investigation. We take similar measures to investigate possible violations of our terms or policies or otherwise to prevent harm. We retain Information from disabled accounts if they violate our terms and conditions for one year. This measure avoids more abuse or other violations of our Terms and conditions.

Data operations and Transfer as part of E-Tools global services?

We share Information globally, both internally within our Products and externally with our partners and with those you connect and share with worldwide per this policy. For example, we may transfer or transmit to or store and process data in various countries where you live. The transfers will be for the purposes we described in this policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services outlined in the Products Terms and Conditions, operate globally, and provide our Products to you. We obtain your consent for these data transfers to the United States and other countries.
