Privacy Policy 

Introduction

Sport Sitters, LLC ("Sport Sitters," “The Company,” or “the App Operator”) operates a platform accessible through its mobile application. Sport Sitters serves as an intermediary facilitating the booking of services, which may include childcare services, between service providers and users. It is important to note that Sport Sitters is not a childcare provider, nor does it offer childcare services directly. Instead, it provides a third-party booking service, enabling users to schedule various services, including those related to childcare, through its platform. Sport Sitters expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the services provided by third parties through its platform.

  4. All references to "the App" refer to the mobile application operated by Sport Sitters, LLC.
  5. All references to "the User" are to any individual who uses, accesses, consults, or navigates the App operated by Sport Sitters, LLC.

The App Operator recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of its users ("the User"). The following types of information may be collected from the User during their interaction with the Sport Sitters mobile application ("the App"):

  • Personal Information: This includes but is not limited to the User's name, email address, home address, and phone number.
  • Child Information: This includes but is not limited to information regarding children under the care of the User, such as age, gender, interests, and home safety information (e.g., presence of a pool, firearms, and safety measures), as well as medical information including diagnosis and allergies.
  • Device Information: Information about the device used to access the App, including the type of device, its IP address, and operating system.
  • Usage Data: Data related to the User's interactions with the App, including frequency of use and areas of the App that the User engages with.

The collection and processing of Personal Data and any other information as described above are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. The App Operator acts as the Controller of this data, with processing activities carried out under its authority.

Purpose of Data Collection

The App Operator collects and processes Personal Data, Personal Information, Child Information, Device Information, and Usage Data (collectively, "the Data") from users of the App ("the User") for the primary purpose of matching families with sitters. Additionally, the collection of the Data serves to improve the functionality of the App, facilitate communication between the App Operator and the User, and enhance the overall user experience.

The Processing of Personal Data is conducted in accordance with the principles of data protection and privacy as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. The App Operator acts as the Controller of the Data, determining the purposes and means of Processing Personal Data, while any third parties engaged by the App Operator to process the Data on its behalf act as Processors.

By using the App, the User consents to the collection and use of the Data as outlined in this Privacy Policy. The User retains the right to access, correct, or delete their Personal Data as per applicable data protection laws.

Third Party Services

In the course of providing services and content on the App, Sport Sitters may engage various third-party service providers to assist with various functions, including but not limited to payment processing, communications platform as a service (CPaaS), website and application maintenance, data analysis for marketing purposes, and facilitating email communications. These third-party service providers may have access to or process Personal Data, Personal Information, Child Information, Device Information, and Usage Data (collectively, "User Data") on our behalf.

We may share end-user opt-in data with our subcontractors or outsourced service providers solely to fulfill the service rendered to our end-user. By using the App, you consent to the processing of your User Data by these service providers in accordance with this clause.

Data Usage and Sharing

The App Operator may collect, process, or use Personal Data, Personal Information, Child Information, Device Information, and Usage Data (collectively, "User Data") provided by the User for the purpose of facilitating bookings between sitters and families, maintaining and improving the services offered by the App, and for marketing purposes. The App Operator acts as the Controller of User Data and ensures that the Processing of User Data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

User Data may be shared with third-party service providers to whom the App Operator outsources certain business tasks, such as website maintenance, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, or customer service. The App Operator does not share or sell mobile information, including text messaging opt-in data and consent, to third parties  for marketing purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are collected and retained solely for the purpose of facilitating authorized communications and are not disclosed to any third parties, except as necessary to fulfill customer service tasks in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The User has the right to access, correct, or delete their User Data, as per applicable data protection laws. Requests to exercise these rights can be directed to the App Operator through the Get In Touch page or Delete Account page provided in the App or on the Sport Sitter’s website.

Security Measures

The App Operator recognizes the importance of securing the User Data collected and processed through the App. To safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of User Data, the App Operator implements a comprehensive set of security measures. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of Personal Data, Personal Information, Child Information, Device Information, and Usage Data.

The security measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest;
  • Regular security assessments and updates to security practices;
  • Access control measures to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to User Data;
  • Secure storage of User Data, utilizing industry-standard protocols and technologies;
  • Implementation of incident response protocols to quickly address any potential security breaches;
  • Training for employees on data protection and privacy policies to ensure compliance

The App Operator commits to continuously review and update its security measures in response to evolving threats and technological advancements. This commitment ensures the ongoing protection of User Data in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

User Controls

The App Operator recognizes the importance of privacy and the sensitivity of Personal Data. As such, we provide Users of the App with various controls over their Personal Data, as outlined below:

  • Access and Review: Users have the right to access and review data held by the App. This includes any information that can be considered Personal Information or Child Information (collectively, "User Data").
  • Update and Correction: Users may update or correct their User Data at any time to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date. This can be done through the User's Profile on the App.
  • Permissions: Users can control access to device features like location, calendar or camera access through the User’s device settings.
  • Deletion: Users have the right to request the deletion of their User Data from the App’s records, subject to any legal or regulatory requirements that may require the App Operator to retain certain information.

These controls are provided in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. The App Operator is committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights in a transparent and efficient manner. For any requests or inquiries regarding the management of User Data, Users are encouraged to contact the App Operator directly through the contact information provided on the Get In Touch page in the App.

Children’s Privacy

The App Operator recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of children. Accordingly, the App does not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Data from children under the age of 13 without obtaining verifiable parental consent through a secure online process that requires parents to provide verifiable information to confirm their identity and relationship to the child. This process is conducted in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable laws.

Child Information: Information regarding children under the care of the User, such as age, gender, interests, and home safety information (e.g., presence of a pool, firearms, and safety measures), as well as medical information including diagnosis and allergies. This information is collected to help match families with suitable sitters and is not disclosed to third parties except as necessary to facilitate the booking and provision of services.

In the event that the App Operator becomes aware that Personal Data from a child under the age of 13 has been collected without verifiable parental consent, the App Operator will take all necessary steps to delete such information as quickly as possible. If a parent or guardian believes that the App has inadvertently collected Personal Data from their child under the age of 13, they are encouraged to contact the App Operator immediately so that appropriate actions can be taken.

The App may provide links to third-party websites that are not operated by the App Operator. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. The App Operator does not endorse, nor is it responsible for, the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites.
