When we do need your personal information to provide services that you request or when you choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes how we collect and use your personal information.

When you browse our website, you do so anonymously. We don’t collect personal information, including your email address, unless you sign up or register in the Application or our website for a PeteHealth account, submit your personal information to us for any other reason, or contact us for additional services or information or to resolve concerns. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. Like many other commercial apps and websites, the Application and our website may use cookies to collect information about how you use the site.
We do not access or store information that you have saved on your mobile device such as contacts and appointments. However, in order to provide our services, the Application or our website may interact with some features on your mobile device, such as your GPS locater. In such case, we will ask for your consent with respect to identifying your location.
Collection of phone numbers: We collect your phone numbers only when you voluntarily provide them to us, for example, during transactions, inquiries, or when you sign up for our promotional messages.
Use of phone numbers for SMS: Your phone numbers are primarily used to provide you with personalized services, updates, and communications. These text messages may relate to our products, services, or any updates that we think may interest you. We may also provide special offers through SMS messages. SMS messaging charges may be applied by your carrier. We will only share your phone number with our SMS provider, subject to their privacy policy.
Opting out of marketing messages: Opting If at any time you wish to stop receiving marketing SMS from us, you can opt out by texting STOP to opt-out. Please note that the opt-out process may take up to 10 business days to become effective. During this period, you may still receive some messages from us.
Privacy of phone numbers: Once you have opted out, we will not send you any more SMS messages, nor will we sell or transfer your phone number to another party.
Notification
We will always give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving direct marketing or market research information. This means we assume you have given us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point of collection, or by contact us at support@petehealth.com. Please allow us a reasonable period of time in order to satisfy your request, as some promotions may already be in progress.
We may use the e-mail and text addresses you provide when you register to send appointment confirmations and reminders. You cannot opt out from receiving these email and text messages.
Cookies
Our Application may use cookies and other technologies to collect information. A cookie is a
small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. This information allows us to customize your preferences and to deliver a better service for you. For example, the Application or website may use Cookies to save and remember search preferences that you may have done while browsing, in order to deliver content specific to your interests.
A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the Application and our website use cookies to understand user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.
Cookies can contain pieces of Personal Information. These Cookies often are used to make the site easier to use. For example, if you check a box to ask that we remember your login information on your computer so that you don’t have to enter it each time you visit the site, it’s stored in a Cookie on your computer.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your personal information is never shared outside PeteHealth without your permission, except under conditions explained below. Inside PeteHealth, data is stored in controlled servers with limited access.
We do not track users, who do not interact with our sharing functionality across the web, and therefore we do not use “do not track” signals, even though various browsers offer a “do not track option.”
We don’t sell, rent, license or share any of the personally identifiable health information you provide to us with companies outside of the Company for their own promotional or marketing use without your explicit, affirmative consent. There are occasions, however, where we must share your information to provide you with the services you requested or for legal reasons. Descriptions of when we share and with whom we may share your information with are provided below.
We may send your personal information to other companies or people under any of the following circumstances: when we have your consent to share the information; we need to share your information with our staff, consultants, or companies that work with us, to provide the product or service you have requested (we will only provide those companies the information they reasonably need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose); or we want to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers or other information we think you’d like to hear about either from us or from our business partners. We will also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or the Application or our website.
If PeteHealth is sold to, or merges with, another company, we reserve the right to include your Personal Information among the assets transferred to the acquiring company. If so, the PeteHealth will seek to obligate the acquiring company to use any Personal Information transferred by this site in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, but cannot guarantee that it will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply.
Disclosure of Aggregate Information
We may combine any public and non-personal information you provide with information from other users to create aggregate data to display on the Website. This sort of statistical information is called aggregate data because it reflects the characteristics of a large group of anonymous people. Aggregate data does not contain any information that could be used to identify you or contact you. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of the Website and the activities they conduct while on our site. We may use aggregate data or share it with our business partners so that the information and services we provide best meet the needs of our users. Aggregate data also helps advertisers and sponsors know how effectively they are reaching and meeting the needs of their target audience.
Control of Your Information
If you are a registered PeteHealth user, you can review your personal information by going to the Application (or website, as the case may be) and signing in. You may also request deletion of your PeteHealth account or any of your personal information held by us by sending an email to support@petehealth.com.
Data Security
Your PeteHealth account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. We implement reasonable safeguards to protect the security of the data you send us through physical, administrative, and technical procedures. In certain areas of our websites, PeteHealth uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security of data transmissions.
While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data.
