USIT CARE CORP. PRIVACY POLICY
Usit (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its
users. Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we
collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our Service on our website or through our mobile
application.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Service” refers to the Company’s service which can be
accessed via our website at www.usit.care or through our mobile application in which users
can offer to provide babysitting services or enlist the services of those providers. The terms
“we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company. The term “you” refers to you, as a user of
Service. By accepting our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, you consent to our collection,
storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” Non-Personal
Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as
anonymous usage data, general demographic information we may collect, referring/exit
pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are
generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks. Personal Information
includes your name, address, email, social security number and ages of children which you
submit to us through the registration process at the Site. No Personal Information will be
collected about children.
1. Information collected by technology
To activate the Service as a Babysitter provider you will need to provide:
Name, your age (you must be at least 18 years old), email, address, password, current
academic year, payment information, and social security number. Additional non-personal
information may be shared but is not required.

Payment information and social security/driver’s license information will be collected for the

not need to submit further Personal Information. However, in an effort to improve the quality
of the Service, we track information provided to us by your browser or by our software
application when you view or use the Service, such as the website you came from (known
as the “referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected
to the Service, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally
identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an
anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our servers and are
stored on the user’s computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us
to collect Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s
preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis. For
example, the Company may use cookies to collect the following information: reviews,
ratings, comments, average hours and pay, number of jobs per babysitter and household
Please remember that anything you post to any message boards, discussion or comment
areas, or social networking services on our Site can be seen, collected, and used by anyone
who has access to that board, area, or social networking service. We cannot control how
your postings may be used by third parties with such access.
The Company may use both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on
your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies
expire when you close your browser.

III. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION
We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized
access. Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps
to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out
of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security
breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption,
firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee
that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such
firewalls and secure server software. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you
understand and agree to assume these risks.
IV. PAYMENT INFORMATION
We utilize Stripe to accept payment for services on our site, which encrypts all financial and
credit card information that you have provided to Stripe; Once we receive your request to
order Services which will contain your name, home address, email and telephone
information, we will make our best effort to ensure its security on our system.
Stripe automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to
theirs when you make payment using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an
encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even
register or log in to Stripe, their server checks that you're using an approved browser - one
that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches Stripe, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both
physically and electronically. Stripe servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not
directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized
computers.
As we utilize Stripe for all of our processing needs, we do not directly have access to your
credit card number, financial banking information or other personal financial data. Stripe
Corporation does not sell or rent your personally identifiable information, or sell lists of its
customers to third parties. However, there are limited circumstances in which Stripe may
share some of your information with third parties. To learn more about Stripe Corp.'s
Privacy Policy, please go to their web site at www.stripe.com.
In using Stripe on our Site, Stripe verifies financial information with third parties in order to
protect all of its customers. In the course of such verification, Stripe receives personally
identifiable information about you from such services. In particular, if you register a credit
card or debit card with Stripe, Stripe will use card authorization and fraud screening
services to verify that your card information and address matches the information that you
supplied to Stripe, and that the card has not been reported as lost or stolen.
V. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing
purposes. When we send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of
further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in
each promotional e-mail. You can also indicate that you do not wish to receive marketing
communications from us in the “Settings” section of the Site. Please note that
notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting
out in the Settings section of the Site, we may continue to send you administrative emails
including, for example, periodic updates to our Privacy Policy.

applications. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those
