This Privacy Policy applies when you interact with us through BabyQuip.com, the BabyQuip mobile application, and any other feature or service owned or controlled by BabyQuip, Inc. (“BabyQuip”, “we,” or “us”) that posts or includes a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service(s)”). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of our Services and your choices. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to our Privacy Policy and our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this policy, our Terms of Use Customer Terms https://www.babyquip.com/terms or Quality Provider Terms https://www.babyquip.com/agreement.pdf and any additional policies and terms you may agree to in connection with the Services.

Our Services are intended for a general audience and are not intended for use by individuals younger than the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children younger than the age of 18.

1.Collection of Information

We and our third-party service providers and business partners may collect information from you directly and automatically when you visit the Services and from third parties. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” or “personal data” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name, phone number, and e-mail address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” or “personal data” where required by applicable law.

We may take your personal information and de-identify or pseudonymize it to make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals and/or by hashing the information or otherwise removing characteristics that make the information personally identifiable directly to you. We maintain and use de-identified or pseudonymized data without attempting to re-identify it, except where permitted by applicable law, such as to determine whether our de-identification processes satisfy legal requirements. We will treat de-identified or pseudonymized information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

1.1 Information You Provide Directly: We may ask you to provide certain personal information when you interact with the Services. This information may include contact information, such as your name, address, and phone number, demographic information, such as the age and gender of your children, or billing information, such as your credit card number and billing address

We may also ask you to provide the contact information of another individual, such as when another person will be accepting, returning, or otherwise responsible for equipment you have rented. When you provide us with an individual’s contact information in this context, we will only use this information for the specific reason for which it was provided. If you believe that one of your contacts has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be deleted, please contact us at [email protected].

1.2 Information We Collect Automatically: We and third-party advertising companies and business partners may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you visit our Services or otherwise interact with us or our content (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include the hardware model, browser, and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the Service you are visiting, all of the areas within BabyQuip’s Services that you visit, your time zone, location information, and mobile network (if applicable), among other information. In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access our Services. In some cases, we may directly collect location information through your device. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through the settings on your device. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if BabyQuip associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, BabyQuip treats it as personal information.

Web Beacons:Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “pixel tags,” “1×1 GIFs,” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for several purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, to count how many emails that were sent were opened, or to count how many particular links were actually viewed. We use similar tools to collect such information from mobile devices. In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.
Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our server or a third-party service.
BabyQuip may record session interactions with Babyquip.com user interfaces, including what pages you visit on the Service, how long you visit those pages, the links you click, and your path through the Service, for website analytics purposes, solely for our internal business purposes, to improve our Services.

1.3 Location Data: In some cases, for example when you opt-in to collection of location data through our mobile applications or your web browser, we may directly collect location information through your device. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through the settings on your device. However, please note that we may still be able to collect or infer your approximate location through other information we collect, such as IP address. In addition, some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access our Services.

1.4 Information from Third Parties and Social Media Platforms: We may receive information about you from third parties, including Independent Quality Providers, our business and referral partners, and marketing companies. When you purchase services from our business and referral partners, you may be provided the opportunity to interact directly with our Services through a referral link. If you use the referral link, the applicable business and referral partner may share certain information with us about you such as your name, contact information, and booking dates for purposes such as to help facilitate your use of our Services.

Note that through the social media features we have on the Services, third-party social media companies may be able to collect information about your interactions with our Services, including your IP address or other device identifiers, and which pages you visit on the Services regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the social media company or whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account with them.
