Last Updated: July 22, 2021

DLG Results INC DBA , Pet Heaven Memorial (“we,” “us”) provides online end-of-life services. Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and share your personal information, and to assist you in exercising the privacy rights available to you.

SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us in our business, including on our websites and other online or offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).

1.   PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The categories of personal information we collect depend on whether you are an individual who creates an account on our Services (“User”), person with a relationship to a Pet for whom a memorial page is created (“Loved One”), provider of end-of-life-related services (“Business Account Holder”), an individual who accesses our Services without an account (“Website Visitor”), and the requirements of applicable law.

Information You Provide to Us.

• Account Creation.
  • If you create an account as a User, we will collect certain personal information from you, such as your name, email address, and password. We may ask you for additional information on an optional basis, such as your age and gender, which may be included as part of your public profile.
  • If you register as a Business Account Holder, we will collect your contact name, role, email, password, and details about your business. In order to verify your identity and allow you to post items or services for sale, we may also ask for your business’ telephone number, physical address, and payment information.
• Information you share regarding Loved Ones.

Our Services allow Users to create pages for Loved Ones who are deceased. To create a page for a Loved One, Users must provide the Loved One’s full name, date of birth and death. Users may optionally also add the Loved One’s obituary, share photos, memories, or condolences, or upload other information as requested by us as needed to provide our Services (collectively, “Content”). Users may also upload Content related to Loved Ones on memorial pages operated by other Users, and this Content may contain personal information of Loved Ones or other Users.

Before uploading any personal information from someone other than yourself in connection with our Service, you must have their consent or consent from someone with legal authority to consent on their behalf. Information you post on our Services is considered public and may be seen by others, including non-Users.

• Your Public Posts and Contributions Any Content you post will be publicly visible. In addition, certain actions you take, such as creating a memorial page, posting a memory on a memorial page, commenting on or leaving a “heart” on a post on a memorial page, subscribing to receive updates from a memorial page, or asking or answering a question on a memorial website, will be publicly visible on the memorial page and accessible to other Users, Business Account Holders, and Website Visitors. Other acts, such as sending a private message, will be visible only to the message recipient. When you create a profile as a User or Business Account Holder, your profile (along with your real name) will be visible to other Users, Business Account Holders, and Website Visitors. You can hide actions on your public profile using the controls on your profile page.
• Your purchases and contributions. If you make a purchase via the Services, we collect information to process your request, such as your credit card information. Any payments made via our Services are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not directly collect or store any payment card information entered through our Services, but may receive information associated with your payment card information (e.g., your billing details, or the last four digits of your card number to identify you). You may have the option to store your payment information with our third-party service provider for future use.
• Your Communications with Us. We collect personal information from you, such as email address, phone number, or mailing address when you request information about our Services, request customer or technical support, or otherwise communicate with us.
• Your Communications with Business Account Holders. If you use a feature in our Services that allows you to initiate a phone call with a Business Account Holder, we will collect basic information about the call, such as who you called, the date/time of the call, and the duration of the call.
• Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information, which may include personal information.
• Social Media Content. We may offer forums, blogs, or social media pages on sites not owned by us. Any content you provide on these channels will be considered “public” and is not subject to privacy protections.
