Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes People Guard’s policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. Your privacy is very important to us. We consider our security services to include not only the emergency or informational services we provide you, but also the protection of your private personal information. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy so that you feel comfortable providing your personal information to us.

1. Information Collected Upon Registration

A. When you register for our services, you will provide People Guard with personal information, such as your name, email address, billing information, phone number and address. This information is necessary for us to open an account for you. In order for us to provide you with appropriate security protection, such as police, ambulance or taxi services that arrive quickly and are prepared to help you, we request that you provide us detailed identifying information and contact information. The more information that you give us, the more comprehensive help we can provide you. For example, if you have a medical condition, which you disclose to us, we can pass this information along to emergency services that will be better prepared to handle a situation should it arise. If you provide us with your photograph, we can submit the photograph to the police, who may then more quickly identify you in an abduction or similar situation. If you provide us with emergency contacts, we can notify your designated person and let them know what is happening. All of this information is your “Personal Information.”

B. We know that you are providing us Personal Information with the expectation that it is private and confidential. We will protect your Personal Information from disclosure and handle it with the utmost care. Your Personal Information will be kept in a secure, locked system and we will continuously monitor its security.

C. You are responsible for ensuring that your Personal Information is current and correct. To review, change or delete your information and correct any inaccuracies by deleting them, log in to the website and update your Personal Information (changes take effect within minutes) or send an email request to Customer Services (changes may require up to 10 business days to take effect). If you make a request to People Guard regarding your Personal Information, we will respond within 10 business days.

D. You own all of the content and information that you provide on our website or to our phone operators. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (“IP content”), you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use IP content that you provide in order to provide you with our services.

2. Disclosure of Personal Information

A. We will only provide your Personal Information to emergency service providers when we believe it is necessary to help you. Otherwise, we will not disclose your Personal Information to any individual or organization.

B. However, when personalizing the services that People Guard will provide you on our website, you may, in your sole discretion, consent to People Guard providing any or all of your Personal Information to service providers in non-emergency situations or other individuals or agencies that you designate. You may also provide us with your consent by telephone once we have verified that you are the caller through sufficient security checks. If you provide us with your consent, we will disclose your information only as you have authorized.

C. At any time, you may withdraw your consent and we will update your account accordingly as soon as possible, and your Personal Information will once again be protected from disclosure besides pursuant to Sections 2A, 9 and 14B of this Privacy Policy. Log into the website and update your Personal Information (changes take effect within minutes) or send an email request to Customer Services (changes may require up to 10 business days to take effect). If you make a request to People Guard regarding your Personal Information, we will respond within 10 business days.

4. Disclosure of Location Information

A. We will only provide your Location Information to emergency service providers when we believe it is necessary to help you. Otherwise, we will not disclose your Location Information to any individual or organization.

5. Non-Private or Non-Personal Information

We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information.

6. Security

A. People Guard takes reasonable precautions in accordance with industry standards to protect your information (including your Personal Information and your Location Information). When you submit information to us via our website but you choose not to make that information accessible to others, the information is protected both online and off-line. Such information is subject to restricted access in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to such personally identifiable information. All employees, including our call center operators, are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. The servers that store nonpublic personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, in a locked facility. People Guard also maintains notification procedures as part of its information security policy for notifying you in the event of a data security breach. If People Guard experiences a data security breach and is required to notify you under applicable law, People Guard will notify you by electronic mail using the e-mail address you have provided.

B. People Guard uses a reliable third party payment processor when processing your credit card, which ensures that your payment information is secure and protected. The credit card information that you provide when enrolling for our services is transmitted directly to the third party processor and will not be shared with us at any time.

7. Cookies

Like many websites, we use “cookies” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our services. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk. People Guard may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on our servers, and to improve our services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.

8. Service Providers

We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide internal company services in order to improve our services and to directly provide aid to you. We may share your Personal Information and Location Information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this Privacy Policy.

9. Legal Obligations and Potential Harm

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose your information (including your Personal Information and Location Information) if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect People Guard’s property rights.

10. Our Policy Towards Children

If you become aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us at Customer Services. We do not knowingly directly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, without parental consent, we will take steps to remove such information from our system and terminate the child’s account.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be on our website.
