1.Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
- Contact details: your name, email address, phone number, and service address when you request a quote or start a plan.
- Service details: information about your property (such as yard size, number of dogs, or gate and access notes) that you share so we can prepare an accurate quote and scoop safely.
- Payment information: when you pay for a service, our payment processor collects your billing details on our behalf. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers.
- Correspondence: messages, emails, voicemails, or other communications you send us.
We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and referring URL. We use standard cookies and similar technologies for basic site functionality and analytics.

- Send you occasional service reminders or seasonal updates. You can opt out at any time.
- Improve our website, services, and customer experience.
