Personal Data:
We collect personal data from you when you voluntarily choose to register
with BOOQA.COM, when you use the Services, and when you send
BOOQA.COM or Users information or communications in connection
with your use of the Services. We use the personal data that we collect in
order to provide and improve our Services, and as otherwise set forth in
this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Service. Examples of personal data
may include, but are not limited to, first name, last name, business name
and information, address, email address, telephone number, birth date,
social security number, appointment information, location, IP address,
billing and credit card information, as well as any other non-public
information that may be associated with or linked to any of the foregoing
data.
Third Party Personal Data:
We may also collect personal data from you about certain third parties
(e.g., Professionals may provide information about Clients, or Clients may
provide information about Professionals), and from certain third parties
about you. We use this personal data that we collect in order to provide
and improve our Services, facilitate communication between you and such
third parties, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, the End
User License Agreement in mobile applications, and in our Terms of Service.
You warrant to BOOQA.COM that any personal data you provide us
about any third party individuals was obtained by you with full consent
from such third party, and that such third party has not communicated to
you that they wish to opt out of receiving communication from
BOOQA.COM or having BOOQA.COM collect information about
such third party.
Use of Personal Data:
BOOQA.COM uses the personal data you provide in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Policy or with any applicable service-specific
agreement. If you provide personal data for a certain reason, we may use
the personal data in connection with the reason for which it was provided.
For instance, we will use the personal data you input during the
registration process to administer access to the Services and, if
applicable, publish information about Professionals on the Website or
Services. We may also use the information Professionals submit about
Clients or affiliated Professionals to send Clients and Professionals
emails or SMS messages at such Client's or Professional's direction via the
Services. We may also contact Clients to tell them about products and
services that Professionals may offer and to further promote Professionals
and the Services. We may send Users marketing communications. We will give
Users the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from
BOOQA.COM. BOOQA.COM and its affiliates also use Users'
personal data and other personally non-identifiable information collected
through the Services to help us improve the content and functionality of
the Website and Services, to better understand the Users of our Services,
and to improve our Services.
Customer Credit Card Information: BOOQA.COM uses a third party
to keep a protected copy of your credit card number. This billing data
belongs to you, and by utilizing the Service, you grant
BOOQA.COM a license to use this data to bill you for services
rendered.
Personally Non-Identifiable Information:
We may collect personally non-identifiable information from you at the time
of registration, or when you choose to use certain of our Services. This
information is not, by itself, sufficient to identify or contact Users.
Examples include but are not limited to demographic data, age, education
level, profession, geographic location or gender. BOOQA.COM may
store such information, or it may be included in databases owned and
maintained by BOOQA.COM's affiliates, agents or service providers.
The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to
track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Website and the
domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. It is important
to note that no personal data is available or used in this process.
Passively Collected Information:
When you interact with us through the Services, we receive and store
certain additional, personally non-identifiable information. Such
information, which is collected passively using various technologies,
cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Examples include IP
addresses, browser types, domain names, date and time of page views,
location information associated with your IP address, your interactions to
an ad delivered by us or our ad technology partners and other anonymous
statistical data involving your use of the Website and/or our services.
Aggregated Personal Data:
In an ongoing effort to better understand our Users, we might analyze the
personal data that is provided through the Services in aggregate form. This
aggregate information does not identify Users personally. We may share this
aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may
also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services
to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties
for other lawful purposes.
Cookies, Web Beacons and Log Files:
In operating this Website and the Services, we may use technologies such as
cookies, web beacons and log files. A cookie is a piece of information that
the computer that hosts our Website gives to your computer when you access
a website. A web beacon is an electronic file that signals when a webpage,
advertisement, video, other content, an email or newsletter has been
viewed. Log file information is automatically reported by your browser or
mobile application each time you access the Website or our Services. Our
cookies, web beacons and log files help provide additional functionality to
the Website and Services and help us analyze Website and Services usage
more accurately.
Additional Tracking:
We may, either directly or through third party companies and individuals we
engage to provide services to us, also track your use of our Website and
the Services for purposes of our own customer support, analytics, research,
product development, fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory
compliance, investigation, as well as to enable you to use and access the
Services and pay for your activities on the Website and through the
Services. We may also, either directly or through third party companies and
individuals we engage to provide services to us, track your behaviour on
our own Services to market and advertise our services to you on the
Platform and third party websites. Third parties that use cookies and other
tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertisements on our Services
and/or third party websites may offer you a way to prevent such targeted
advertisements by opting-out at the websites of industry groups such as the
Network Advertising Initiative (
http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (
http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
). Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted
advertising, you may still receive advertising on the Services – it just
will not be tailored to your interests.
Google AdWords:
This Website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on
third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site or
to similar audiences online. It could mean that we advertise to previous
visitors who have browsed on our site. This could be in the form of an
advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google
Display Network. Google may include in-ads notice labels to disclose
interest-based advertising to their users. Third-party vendors, including
Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to the
Website. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy
policy and Google's privacy policy. Google reserves the right to display to
users which remarketing lists users are on, along with the corresponding
domain name. You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using
the Google Ad Preference Manager (
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
), and you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie
settings or permanently using a browser plugin.
Sharing Information:
We use the information we collect from our Services to provide, maintain,
protect and improve them, to develop new services, and to protect
BOOQA.COM and our Users. We also use this information to offer you
tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads. We
won't share Users' personal information with anyone except for the
situations listed below or unless we specifically inform you and give you
an opportunity to opt out of our sharing your personal information.
We may share your personal information with:
o In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
o When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our Users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce the Terms of Service or other agreements or policies.
o In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
We will not share your personal data:
· To run interest-based advertising campaigns that collect personal data such as email addresses, telephone numbers, and credit card numbers.
· To use or associate personal data with remarketing lists, cookies, data feeds, or other anonymous identifiers.
· To use or associate targeting information, such as demographics or location, with any personal data collected from the ad or its landing page.
· To share any personal data with Google or third party companies through our remarketing tag or any product data feeds which might be associated with our ads.
· To send Google or third party companies precise location information without obtaining your consent.

Do Not Track:
Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not
Track" signal to websites and online service you visit. There is no
consensus among industry participants as to what "Do Not Track" means in
this context. Like many websites and online services, BOOQA.COM
does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms from a
visitor's browser. If, in the future, we create a program or protocol to
respond to such web browser "Do Not Track" signals, we will inform you of
the details of that protocol in this Privacy Policy. To find out more about
"Do Not Track," please visit

year, free of charge, certain information about the personal data (if any)
we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the
preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a

addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the
immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a NZ resident and would
like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to info@BOOQA.COM.com.
