Pest Control Insulation Privacy Statement

Last Updated: September 2019

Your privacy is important to us. The Pest Control Insulation Privacy Statement explains the personal data Pest Control Insulation, LLC (herein referred to as “PCI”) collects and processes about our clients and use it to provide our services.

PCI offers products and equipment to support programs designed for pest management professional and insulation contractors nationwide. These products are for use in a home to provide comfort from pests which typically invade and provide structural damage to the home as well as protect health risks for the home’s occupants. References to PCI products in this statement include PCI services, websites, apps, servers, devices, and equipment.

PCI is committed to protecting your privacy. The information you share is used to provide better service with PCI. We use it to invoice and bill you and send notices about your account, special promotions, and timely news as well as update you on our products and services. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. If you would like to discuss how we use your information, please contact us. This statement applies to all interactions PCI has with you and the PCI products listed below, as well as other PCI products that display in this statement.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

PCI collects data from you, through your interactions with us and through our products. You provide some of this data directly, and we get some of it by collecting data about your interactions, use, and experiences with our products. The data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with PCI and the choices you make, including your privacy settings and the products and features you use. This data may include:

  • Name
  • Organization Name
  • Organization Website
  • Email Address
  • Mailing/Shipping Address
  • Credit Card Number and expiration date needed to
    process an order
  • Phone/Mobile/Fax number
  • Job Title
  • IP Address
  • Your designated account settings
  • Purchase history
  • Browsing behavior while on our websites and apps

We rely on a variety of legal reasons and permissions (“legal bases”) to process data, including with your consent, a balancing of legitimate interests, necessity to enter into and perform contracts, and compliance with legal obligations, for a variety of purposes described below.

We also obtain data from third parties. We protect data obtained from third parties according to the practices described in this statement, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. These third-party sources vary over time and include:

  • Data brokers from which we purchase demographic data to supplement the data we collect.
  • Services that make user-generated content from their service available to others, such as local business reviews or public social media posts.
  • Communication services, including email providers and social networks, when you give us permission to access your data on such third-party services or networks.
  • Partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities.
  • Developers who create experiences for PCI products, such as Red Clay Interactive, Echo Global Logistics, UPS, FedEx, Authorize.net, Word Press, Woo Commerce.
  • Publicly-available sources, such as open government databases.

You have choices when it comes to the technology you use and the data you share. When we ask you to provide personal data, you can decline. Many of our products require some personal data to provide you with a service. If you choose not to provide data necessary to provide you with a product or feature, you cannot use that product or feature. Likewise, where we need to collect personal data by law or to enter into or carry out a contract with you, and you do not provide the data, we will not be able to enter into the contract; or if this relates to an existing product you’re using, we may have to suspend or cancel it. We will notify you if this is the case at the time. Where providing the data is optional, and you choose not to share personal data, features like personalization that use such data will not work for you.
