In addition, we disclose each of the categories of personal information described above, to the types of third-parties described below for the following business purposes:

Pet Organizations. We share information about your profile and adoption application with applicable Pet Organizations with matching pets for adoption or foster.
Public information. You may select options available through our Services to publicly display and disclose certain information when you sign up for and participate in the interactive areas of our Services, such as creating a user profile or writing a review.
Our Service Providers. We share information with vendors, consultants, business partners, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal information to provide those functions.
Legal matters, compliance, and law enforcement. We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, required by, or necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal process. This includes disclosure to tax authorities or other governmental agencies in connection with those agencies’ enforcement of relevant legal obligations. Information that may be disclosed includes, but is not limited to, names, addresses, contact information, tax/business identification number(s), date of birth, transaction and booking information, and/or taxes collected by us.
Security, safety, and protecting rights. We may share your information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, to operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks or to protect the rights, property or safety of Boop, its employees, its users (including any pets), or the public.
Corporate transactions. We may disclose information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, acquisition, divestiture, bankruptcy, dissolution, or other transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer or divestiture of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
Affiliates. We may share information between and among Boop and our current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and other companies under common control and ownership, for example, where we share common data systems or where access helps us to provide our services and operate our business. Our corporate affiliates may also use and disclose this information in accordance with their own privacy statements.

We may disclose de-identified information in accordance with applicable law.

Social Sharing Features

The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button) which let you share actions you take on our Services with other media and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of information collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Third-Parties

While it is our policy to not sell or share any of our users information, some of the information disclosed to these third-parties described above may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the laws of California and certain other U.S. states (including your state of residency). Please see the Your Choices and California and U.S. State Privacy Rights sections below for more details.

Please note that some of our Services also include integrations, references, or links to services provided by third-parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal data to any of those third-parties, or allow us to share personal data with them, do understand that such data is governed by their privacy statements or policies and not that of Boop.

Information Security

The Boop Project takes reasonable and appropriate measures designed to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or through mobile applications is 100% safe. Therefore, although we use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. To help us protect personal information, we request that you use a strong password and never share your password with anyone or use the same password with other sites or accounts.

Transfer and Location of Information

The information we collect may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States, or in any other country where we or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. The processing locations are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect information in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps designed to ensure that the information we collect under this statement is processed according to the provisions of this statement and applicable law wherever the information is located.

Information Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the products and fulfill the transactions you have requested, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and other legitimate and lawful purposes. Because these needs can vary for different information types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the information, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete information, and our legal or contractual obligations.

Your Choices

Privacy Management

In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law. For more information about your specific rights as a resident of California, see California and U.S. State Privacy Rights & Notices, Do Not Sell or Share.

Please note that this section applies to the Boop Services, and our affiliates may have different procedures for managing your privacy choices. You should refer to their individual privacy statements for more information.

Access, Portability, Correction, and Deletion

If you wish to permanently delete your The Boop Project account, or cannot access certain information using the above methods, you can submit a request directly to Boop by using the information in the Contact Us section below. We may decline requests that are prohibited by law, could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, are not required to be honored by applicable law, or where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the information relates.

Location Information

When you first install or launch any of our mobile applications that collect location information, you will be asked to consent to the application’s collection of this information. We require location information, including your precise geolocation, to use certain features of our Services, so if you do not consent to this collection, you cannot use those features. If you initially consent to our collection of location information, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the preferences on your mobile device. If you do so, certain features of our mobile applications will no longer function. You may also stop our collection of location information by following the standard uninstall process to remove our mobile application from your device.

E-mails

You may choose whether you wish to receive marketing emails from Boop by updating your “Notifications” preferences under “Account Settings” in your Boop profile or through our mobile application. If you receive marketing e-mails and you wish to opt-out, you may also do so by clicking “Unsubscribe” or following the directions stated in those e-mails. If you opt-out of receiving marketing e-mails, we may still send you Service-related emails, such as those about your account or your ongoing business relationship with us.

Mobile Push Notifications/Alerts

We may send push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device.

Text Messages

With your consent as required by applicable law, we may send communications containing service information (including technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages), sales, marketing, or advertising messages, by autodialed, prerecorded, or artificial voice calls or SMS, text messages, email, over-the-top messaging platforms (such as WhatsApp), and other electronic means, at any phone number or e-mail address you provide in connection with your Account, even if your phone number is on the national or any state’s do-not-call registry. You may opt-out of receiving these messages by following the prompt in an individual message or updating your “Notifications” preferences under “Account Settings” on The Boop Project website or through our mobile application (though you may continue to receive messages while we process your request). However, if you are an Owner, Pet Organization, or Pet Service Provider, we may still require you to receive service- or Account-related messages.

Data Sales

Keep in mind that some states’ privacy laws define “sale” of personal data or information broadly to include some of the disclosures described in the “How Do We Disclose Your Information” section above. To opt-out from such data “sales”, we ask that you update your preferences at any time by visiting the privacy management section of your Account Settings or enabling the Global Privacy Control settings in a web browser or browser extension as described below.

Targeted Advertising

You have several options to opt-out from or otherwise control targeted advertising. First, you can use the controls available through the privacy management area of your Account Settings to decline advertising-related cookies. Second, you can use the Global Privacy Control setting in a web browser or browser extension as described below. Third, you can use the opt-out controls offered by the organizations our advertising partners may participate in, which you can access at:

United States: NAI (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) and DAA (http://optout.aboutads.info/)

Fourth, you can use the other cookie or mobile ID controls described below.

These choices are specific to the device or browser you are using. If you access our services from other devices or browsers, take these actions from those systems to ensure your choices apply to the data collected when you use those systems.

Browser or Platform Controls

Cookie controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of the Boop website. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for information on how to manage your choices with cookies used on our website.
Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales and/or targeted advertising, as specified by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting or similar control that is recognized by regulation or otherwise widely acknowledged as a valid opt-out preference signal.

Do Not Track

Mobile advertising ID controls. iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.

E-mail Web Beacons

Most e-mail clients have settings that allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.

California and U.S. State Privacy Rights & Notices / Do Not Sell or Share

Please note that the below applies to the Boop Service, and our affiliates may have different procedures for exercising your data subject rights. You should refer to their specific privacy statements for more information.

California

If you are a California resident and the processing of your personal information is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), you have certain rights with respect to that information:

Notice at Collection. At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this statement by clicking on the above links.
Right to Know. You have a right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you in a readable format. You can also request information about the categories of personal information we collected, the sources of collection, the purposes for collection and sharing of this information, the categories of information we shared, and the categories of third-parties with whom we shared this information. Note that we have provided much of this information above in this Privacy Statement. You can see much of the personal information collected about you by logging into your account and viewing your profile. You can also make such a request by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
Right to Request Correction or Deletion. You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. You can correct or remove certain personal information by logging into your Account and editing your profile. Requests for deletion can be made by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
Right to Opt-Out of “Sales” or “Sharing” for Targeted Advertising (Do Not Sell or Share). You have a right to opt-out from any sharing of your personal information with third parties to the extent that such sharing is for “cross-context behavioral advertising” or otherwise constitutes a “sale” of that data under the CCPA. Note that the CCPA defines “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” broadly to cover some of our data practices described in this Privacy Statement. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our Services. We may also share information with corporate affiliates, which may be used in accordance with their own privacy statements. We do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you wish to opt out, you may do so by enabling in your browser an opt out preference signal that is recognized by regulation or widely acknowledged, such as the Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform analytics and advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to opt-out of or limit certain processing of your sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information except as necessary to provide our Services. You may decline to provide such information; however, we may no longer be able to provide our Services. If we use sensitive personal information for purposes other than to provide the Services you request or as otherwise permitted by law, we will inform you and provide you the option to limit such use.
Right to Non-Discrimination. You will not be discriminated against by Boop for exercising rights set out in the CCPA.
California “Shine the Light”. Under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third-parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to any non-affiliate third-parties for their direct marketing purposes as defined by this law. To the extent sharing among our affiliates is deemed a disclosure to a “third-party,” you can opt-out or request further information about our compliance with this law by using the Contact Us section below. Businesses are required to respond to one request per California Customer each year and may not be required to respond to requests made by means other than through the designated e-mail address or phone number.
Notice of Financial Incentive. From time to time, we may offer financial incentives to promote the Boop Services, such as discounts, coupons, and special offers when you sign up for our e-mail list or participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. To receive these financial incentives (or opt in), you will be asked to provide personal information, such as through an online form, contest submission, or social media. Participation is optional. You may opt out at any time using the instructions provided when you opt in, or any applicable methods described in the Your Choices section above (for example, by unsubscribing from e-mails). Each financial incentive related to submission and use of consumer personal information is based on our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of such information, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage, and use of such information in the operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under the CCPA. Please note that we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive. If applicable, those terms will be presented to you at sign-up or opt-in.

Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.

We do not knowingly collect or sell personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

You have a right to opt-out from the sale of your personal information and from targeted advertising (which includes “sharing” of your personal information with third parties for “cross-context behavioral advertising”, as defined in applicable laws).

In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our online services. We may also share information with corporate affiliates, which may be used in accordance with their own privacy statements. We do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you wish to opt-out, you may exercise such a request to opt-out by enabling an opt-out preference signal in your browser that is recognized by regulation or widely acknowledged as valid, such as the Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing or processing” for targeted advertising under applicable laws. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform analytics and advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
Sensitive Personal Information. For residents of certain states (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, and Texas), we may only process your sensitive personal information if you opt-in. In other states (such as Utah), residents have the right to opt-out of or limit certain processing of their sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information except as necessary to provide our Services. When you sign up for our Services and/or provide us with sensitive personal information, you opt-in to such processing. You may decline to provide such information; however, we may no longer be able to provide our Services. If we use sensitive personal information for purposes other than to provide the Services you request or as otherwise permitted by law, we will inform you and provide you the option to limit such use.
Right to Non-Discrimination. You will not be discriminated against by Boop for exercising these rights.

Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the e-mail address associated with your Account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your Account.

Notice at Collection. At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this statement by clicking on the above links.
Right to Know. You have a right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you in a readable format. You can also request information about the categories of personal information we collected, the sources of collection, the purposes for collection and sharing of this information, the categories of information we shared, and the categories of third-parties with whom we shared this information. Note that we have provided much of this information above in this Privacy Statement. You can see much of the personal information collected about you by logging into your account and viewing your profile. You can also make such a request by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
Right to Request Correction or Deletion. You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. You can correct or remove certain personal information by logging into your Account and editing your profile. Requests for deletion can be made by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
Right to Opt-Out of “Sales” or “Sharing” for Targeted Advertising (Do Not Sell or Share). You have a right to opt-out from any sharing of your personal information with third parties to the extent that such sharing is for “cross-context behavioral advertising” or otherwise constitutes a “sale” of that data under the CCPA. Note that the CCPA defines “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” broadly to cover some of our data practices described in this Privacy Statement. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our Services. We may also share information with corporate affiliates, which may be used in accordance with their own privacy statements. We do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you wish to opt out, you may do so by enabling in your browser an opt out preference signal that is recognized by regulation or widely acknowledged, such as the Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform analytics and advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to opt-out of or limit certain processing of your sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information except as necessary to provide our Services. You may decline to provide such information; however, we may no longer be able to provide our Services. If we use sensitive personal information for purposes other than to provide the Services you request or as otherwise permitted by law, we will inform you and provide you the option to limit such use.
Right to Non-Discrimination. You will not be discriminated against by Boop for exercising rights set out in the CCPA.
California “Shine the Light”. Under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third-parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to any non-affiliate third-parties for their direct marketing purposes as defined by this law. To the extent sharing among our affiliates is deemed a disclosure to a “third-party,” you can opt-out or request further information about our compliance with this law by using the Contact Us section below. Businesses are required to respond to one request per California Customer each year and may not be required to respond to requests made by means other than through the designated e-mail address or phone number.
Notice of Financial Incentive. From time to time, we may offer financial incentives to promote the Boop Services, such as discounts, coupons, and special offers when you sign up for our e-mail list or participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. To receive these financial incentives (or opt in), you will be asked to provide personal information, such as through an online form, contest submission, or social media. Participation is optional. You may opt out at any time using the instructions provided when you opt in, or any applicable methods described in the Your Choices section above (for example, by unsubscribing from e-mails). Each financial incentive related to submission and use of consumer personal information is based on our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of such information, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage, and use of such information in the operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under the CCPA. Please note that we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive. If applicable, those terms will be presented to you at sign-up or opt-in.

In the past 12 months, we have disclosed, for a business purpose, data from each of the categories of personal information we maintain to our business partners, affiliates, and vendors, as described in the table above. You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.
We do not knowingly collect or sell personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

You have a right to opt-out from the sale of your personal information and from targeted advertising (which includes “sharing” of your personal information with third parties for “cross-context behavioral advertising”, as defined in applicable laws). Note that these laws may define “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” broadly to cover some of our data practices described in this Privacy Statement. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our online services. We may also share information with corporate affiliates, which may be used in accordance with their own privacy statements. We do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you wish to opt-out, you may exercise such a request to opt-out by enabling an opt-out preference signal in your browser that is recognized by regulation or widely acknowledged as valid, such as the Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing or processing” for targeted advertising under applicable laws. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform analytics and advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
Sensitive Personal Information. For residents of certain states (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, and Texas), we may only process your sensitive personal information if you opt-in. In other states (such as Utah), residents have the right to opt-out of or limit certain processing of their sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information except as necessary to provide our Services. When you sign up for our Services and/or provide us with sensitive personal information, you opt-in to such processing. You may decline to provide such information; however, we may no longer be able to provide our Services. If we use sensitive personal information for purposes other than to provide the Services you request or as otherwise permitted by law, we will inform you and provide you the option to limit such use.
Right to Non-Discrimination. You will not be discriminated against by Boop for exercising these rights.

You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under applicable laws. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the e-mail address associated with your Account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your Account.
