Other Site Policies That Apply To Both Section I & II

How we protect personal information

We employ reasonable and appropriate security measures such as maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable security requirements, including US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption; we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files; and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities. All credit card information is encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption before it is transmitted across the network. However, no security system is foolproof and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Data Transfers

If you are located in the European Economic Area, or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use, we comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal information. We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected for the purposes of storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Service. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.

By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the Service, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

Unsupervised Children

Children 18 and under are not eligible to use A Cut Above Lawn Care services without participation and supervision of a legal parent or guardian. A Cut Above Lawn Care is not a site meant for children, and we do not provide privacy measures designed to protect children when using the Internet unsupervised. A Cut Above Lawn Care also does not knowingly target children under the age of 13 and makes reasonable efforts to ensure that this does not occur across any campaigns it runs on behalf of advertisers or for its own marketing.

Other Sites Policies

A Cut Above Lawn Care has no control over, nor does it bear any of the responsibility for the privacy policies and/or content of any sites or advertisers linked to or on A Cut Above Lawn Care’s website, or the cookies these sites might set in your browser. A Cut Above Lawn Care requires that Advertisers that have elected to use A Cut Above Lawn Care provide a descriptive privacy policy linked to from their website describing their practices regarding Online Behavioral Advertising.

Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

We have implemented mechanisms at our website and our Advertisers’ websites that are designed to respond to “do not track” or “DNT” signals. The websites are designed to respond to DNT signals from Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. If our website or the website of one of our Advertisers receives a DNT signal, during that visit, we will not link data we collect to your browser identifier so that new data collected about you will not be used for targeted and retargeted advertising purposes, but older data collected about you may still be used. If you want to opt out of receiving targeted or retargeted ads, please use the mechanisms described above in this section (“Your choices regarding relevant advertisements”) of the Privacy Policy.

Because DNT technology is relatively new, we cannot assure you that the websites will perform as designed and it is possible that some or all of the tracking described above will occur even if your browser sends a DNT signal. If you believe that our technology is not responsive to your browser DNT preferences, please contact us at delight@rilawncare.com.
