How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

When We Share Information

With Our Pet Sitters: Your assigned sitter receives necessary information including your address, pet details, care instructions, and access codes. All sitters sign confidentiality agreements and are background-checked.

With Service Providers: We work with payment processors, email services, website hosting providers, and cloud storage services. These providers can only use your information for the services they provide to us.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information when required by UAE law, court orders, government requests, or to protect safety and rights.

In Emergencies: We share pet medical information with veterinarians if your pet needs urgent care, contact your emergency contacts if we cannot reach you, and may contact authorities for safety issues (gas leaks, break-ins).

 

Data Security

We protect your information using multiple security measures:

Technical Security: SSL encryption for website data, secure password-protected servers, regular security updates, firewall protection, and encrypted backup systems.

Physical Security: Keys stored in secure coded containers never labeled with addresses, access codes in encrypted digital systems, locked filing cabinets for documents, and controlled office access.

Staff Security: All team members sign confidentiality agreements, are background-checked, receive privacy training, and access information only when needed for service delivery.

While no system is 100% secure, we use industry-standard protections and continuously monitor for potential threats.
