Privacy Policy

Leash Privacy Policy – 05/15/2024

At Leashtech Inc. (Leash) our mission is to create greater convenience in people’s lives with pet transportation services, providing a platform to help you get your pet from point A to point B. To do that, we need to collect, use, and share some of your personal information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how Leash does that and how to exercise the choices and rights you have in your information.

1. The Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all Leash users, including Customers (Pet Owners), Drivers (including Driver applicants), Third Party Businesses and to all Leash platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the “Leash Platform”). Please remember that your use of the Leash Platform is also subject to our Terms of Service.

2. The Information We Collect

When you use the Leash Platform, we collect the information you provide and usage information. We also collect information about you from other sources like third party services, and optional programs in which you participate, which we may combine with other information we have about you. Here are the types of information we collect about you:

A. Information You Provide to Us

Account Registration. When you create an account with Leash, we collect the information you provide us, such as your name, email address, phone number, birth date, payment information and pet information. You may choose to share additional info with us, like your photo or saved addresses (e.g., home or groomer).

Driver Information . If you apply to be a Driver, we will collect the information you provide in your application, including your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, physical address, government identification number (such as social security number), driver’s license information, vehicle information, and car insurance information. We collect the payment information you provide us, including your bank routing numbers, and tax information. We may need additional information from you at some point after you become a Driver, including information to confirm your identity.

Ratings and Feedback. When you rate and provide feedback about Customers or Drivers, we collect all of the information you provide in your feedback.
Communications. When you contact us or we contact you, we collect any information that you provide, including the contents of the messages or attachments you send us.

B. Information We Collect When You Use the Leash Platform

Location Information. The Leash Platform collects location information (including GPS and WiFi data) differently depending on your app settings and device permissions as well as whether you are using the platform as a Customer or Driver:

Customer: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the Leash app. Leash Analog will not collect your location data.

Drivers: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the app, including while the app is running in the background when it is in driver mode. Leash Analog will not collect your location data.

Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the Leash Platform, including pet transport information like the date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and whether you used a promotional or referral code.

Device Information. We may collect information about the devices you use to access the Leash Platform, including device model, IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, identity of carrier and manufacturer, radio type (such as 4G), preferences and settings (such as preferred language), application installations, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens. If you are a Driver, we may also collect mobile sensor data from your device (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data). Leash Analog will not collect device information.

Communications Between Customers and Drivers. We work with third parties to facilitate phone calls and text messages between Customers and Drivers without sharing either party’s actual phone number with the other. But while we use third parties to provide the communication service, we collect information about these communications, including the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS messages. Leash Analog will not use a third party to facilitate communication. Leash Analog communication between customer and drivers will be facilitated by the Leash customer service.

Cookies, Analytics, and Third Party Technologies. We may collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics, SDKs, and other third party technologies to understand how you navigate through the Leash Platform and interact with Leash advertisements, to make your Leash experience safer, to learn what content is popular, to improve your site experience, to serve you better ads on other sites, and to save your preferences. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be
accessed every time you use the Leash Platform. You should consult your web browser(s) to modify your cookie settings. If you delete or choose not to accept cookies from us, you may miss out on certain features of the Leash Platform. This section does not apply to Leash Analog.

C. Information We Collect from Third Parties

Third Party Services. Third party services provide us with information needed for core aspects of the Leash Platform, as well as for additional services, programs, loyalty benefits, and promotions that can enhance your Leash experience. These third party services include background check providers, insurance partners, financial service providers, marketing providers, and other businesses. We obtain the following information about you from these third party services:
● Information to make the Leash Platform safer, like background check information for drivers;

Referral Programs. If someone refers you to Leash, we will collect information about you from that referral including your name and contact information.
