Last Updated: March 2024

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to the use of Titan Pest Control, owner of the website located at www.titanpestcontrol.us (“Website”) by any user or visitor (“You” or “Your”) of the Website (Owner and You collectively “Parties” and each a “Party”). 

Welcome to the website (“Website”) of Titan Pest Control (“Owner”)

This Policy describes how Owner collects, uses, and discloses information in the United States. The United States may not offer a level of privacy protection as great as that offered in other countries. In jurisdictions outside of the United States where Owner is subject to different or more restrictive local laws, Owner may adjust its practices in those jurisdictions to comply with local laws. Otherwise, Owner makes no representation that the practices described in this Policy are compliant with laws outside of the United States that apply to the collection, security, use, and disclosure of information. Information that is collected or stored in jurisdictions outside of the United States may, subject to applicable law, be disclosed or transferred to the United States or other locations. When information is transferred to the United States, it will be handled in accordance with the laws of the United States. 

By using the Website, You agree to the privacy practices described in this Policy. This Policy applies solely to information collected by the Website.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTED. The Website collects two kinds of information (collectively, “Information”) about You: (a) personally identifiable information; and (b) non-personally identifiable information.

If You decline to provide the mandatory information for a particular activity that requires it, Owner may not be able to provide that service to You.
