Rentokil Initial’s Privacy Policy can be found at https://www.rentokil-initial.com/site-services/cookie-and-privacy-policy/privacy-policy/american_english.aspx. Collectively, “ “we,” or “us” collect, use, maintain, and share (collectively, “process”) information collected about you when you interact with us and with our products and services, including our website at https://www.schendelpest.com/, our affiliate websites, and any other websites, mobile or desktop applications, social media or other pages, or content owned and operated by us (collectively, the “Site“).
This Privacy Policy does not apply to products, services, or websites that display a different privacy policy, including affiliate websites that have their own privacy policies. It also does not apply to information collected by any other third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Site.
By using the Site, you agree to the processing of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Site or provide information to us.
We may collect different types of information from you, including Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual, household, or device, and that is not publicly available.
We also collect non-identifying information that does not directly or indirectly identify you, and cannot reasonably be used to identify you, such as deidentified or aggregate information. When non-identifying information is combined with other information so that it does identify an individual person, we treat that combination as Personal Information.
The following are examples of the types of information that may be collected about you when you interact with us, our products and services, or our Site:
Identification Information. For example, name, postal address, email address, unique personal or online identifier, internet protocol (IP) address, account name, Social Security Number (SSN), driver’s license, or governmental identification number.
Customer Records. For example, records of the products or services you have purchased, obtained, or considered, other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies, or educational, professional, or employment-related information.
Financial Information. For example, debit or credit card information, bank account information, signatures, or billing addresses.
Correspondence. For example, information provided when you call, email, or write to us, respond to voluntary surveys or feedback requests, or enter a contest or promotion.
User-Generated Content. For example, content generated by engaging with Schendel’s publicly facing interactive properties (e.g., its social media pages), including comments, recommendations, reviews, ratings, or any other posts or information voluntarily submitted to such properties (“Public Activities”).
Internet or Other Similar Network Activity. For example, browsing or search history; device information, such as hardware, IP address, operating system version, browser type and settings, language and font settings, or other information about the device used to access the Site; or other information about your interaction with a website, application, or advertisement.
Geolocation Information. For example, physical location or movements.

We may combine information that we collect from and about you, including information collected offline, across your devices, and from third party sources.

We may also receive information about you from a third party through our refer-a-friend functionality.
If you send someone else a communication from the Site, such as sending an invitation to a friend (“refer-a-friend”), the information you provide (names, email addresses, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise. If that person becomes a customer or registers with us, the person’s information will be treated in the same manner as all other customers or registered users. Please be aware that when you use any refer-a-friend functionality on the Site, your email address may be included in the communication sent to your friend.

If you choose to disable cookies on your Device, some features of the Site may not function properly. For instance, if cookies are disabled, you will not be able to log into the Site and therefore you will experience an anonymous user experience.
In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other automatic data collection technologies is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about Site users to optimize our products and services and understand traffic and usage patterns.
In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information. Whenever we associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.
We use third-party analytic and tracking tools to better understand how people use the Site, and how to improve the effectiveness of the Site and its content, and to help those parties or us to serve more targeted advertising to you across the Internet. Those third-party companies may use cookies, pixel tags, or other technologies to collect and store Usage Information and Device Information. They might combine information they collect from your interaction with Site with Personal Information they collect from other sources. We do not have access to, nor control over, third parties’ use of cookies or other tracking technologies.

In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information we collect and process. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, the Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which encrypts your payment card number, name and address so only we are able to decode your information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Site, and you do so at your own risk.
