  1.   How We Use Your Personal Information

We will only use your personal information as described in this Policy or as disclosed to you prior to such processing taking place. You can choose not to allow us to use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes for which we originally collected it or subsequently obtained your consent. If you choose to limit the ways we can use your personal information, some or all of the Services may not be available to you.

(a)To Provide You with Service-Related Communications.

We will send you administrative or account-related information to you to keep you updated about your account and the Services. Such communications may include information about policy updates, confirmations of your account actions or transactions, security updates or tips, or other relevant transaction-related information. We process your contact information to send you such communications. Service-related communications are not promotional in nature. You are not able to unsubscribe from such communications, otherwise, you may miss important developments relating to your account or the Services.

(b) To Provide Customer Support or Respond to You.

We collect any information that you provide to us when you contact us, such as with questions, concerns, feedback, disputes or issues. Without your personal information, we cannot respond to you or ensure your continued use and enjoyment of the Services.

We cannot perform our Services in accordance with our terms, agreements, or policies without processing your personal information for such purposes.

(d) To Ensure the Security of the Services.

We care about keeping you secure and safe while using our Services whether you are only accessing our website or you invite our Pickfun camera into your home. Keeping you safe requires us to process your personal information, such as your device information, activity information, and other relevant information. We use such information to combat spam, malware, malicious activities, or security risks; improve and enforce our security measures; and to monitor and verify your identity so that unauthorized users do not gain access to your information. We cannot ensure the security of our Services if we do not process your personal information for security purposes.

Our Services are subject to certain laws and regulations which may require us to process your personal information. For example, we process your personal information to pay our taxes, to fulfill our business obligations, ensure compliance with employment and recruitment laws, or as necessary to manage risk as required under applicable law. Without processing your personal information for such purposes, we cannot perform the Services in accordance with our legal and regulatory requirements.

(f) To Enhance Your Experience on our Services.

One size fits all is not our motto – we want you to feel at home when using our Services. To do so, we process your personal information to keep track of your preferences (e.g. your language selection, your time zone, etc.), and more. Without processing your personal information for such purposes, you may not be able to access or personalize part or all of our Services.

(g) To Conduct Research and Development.

Continuing to find innovative ways to connect you to your furry family members is our mission. We stay up late thinking about how we can improve or expand our current Services, or how we can create brand new products and services. Our best ideas come from observing the way you use and interact with our Services! For example, When we use your personal information for research and product development, we take on additional security measures to protect your personal information, such as de-identifying or pseudonymizing your information, limiting access to personnel that may conduct research and development, and applying other technical, physical, and administrative security measures. If we do not process your personal information for research and development, we may not be able to continue to provide you with awesome or new products and services.

(h) To Engage in Marketing Activities.

Marketing lets us reach out to potential customers to grow our PICKFUN community and update you about new products and services. Subject to the applicable law, we may process your contact information or information about your interactions on our Services to:

  • send you marketing communications and keep you updated about our products and services;
  • provide you with information about events, webinars, or other materials; and
  • deliver targeted marketing to you (please see our Cookie Policy for more information).

We will always let you opt-out of our marketing activities at any time and free of charge. Remember, transactional communications about your account or our Services are not considered “marketing” communications.
