LoyalYard Privacy Policy
Protecting your private information is our priority. This Privacy Policy applies to loyalyard.com and LoyalYard (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and governs data collection and usage. The LoyalYard website provides information about our pet waste removal services, which are available only in Arizona. By using the LoyalYard website or services, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of Your Personal Information
- First and Last Name
- Mailing or Physical Address
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- Information about your yard, such as size, gate locations, or areas to be cleaned
- Information about your pets, including number of pets, names, or types
If you schedule or purchase our services, we collect billing and payment information (such as credit card or bank details) to complete the transaction. We do not store credit card details on our servers; they are processed securely through third-party providers like Stripe.
We may also collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your zip code or general location.
We automatically collect information about your device and browsing activity, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referral sources, and pages visited on our site. This helps us improve our website and services.
We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may need to provide certain details when using our services, such as requesting a quote, scheduling a cleanup, signing up for newsletters, participating in surveys or reviews, or contacting us via email, chat, or phone. We may also gather additional information from third parties, like referral partners or analytics providers, to enhance our services.
Please note that if you disclose personal information publicly (e.g., in reviews or social media interactions linked to our site), it may be collected and used by others.
Use of Your Personal Information
LoyalYard collects and uses your personal information to operate our website and deliver the pet waste removal services you request, such as providing quotes, scheduling cleanups, processing payments, and offering recommendations.

If you provide your phone number, you consent to receive calls or texts from us, including for marketing purposes. Calls may be recorded for quality and training, with notification where required by law (e.g., Arizona is a one-party consent state).
We will not use your information for purposes unrelated to our services without your permission.

- If required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public.
We may share aggregated or de-identified data that does not personally identify you for research or benchmarking purposes.
