Information We
Collect
We are committed to helping match users who
are seeking sitter or nanny services ("Seekers")
to users who are providers of sitter or nanny
services (" Providers"). Accordingly,
we collect user submitted personally identifying
information and other information specific to
the services requested or provided. As part
of providing you our services, we may obtain
personal information from the following sources:
• Information you provide to us on forms
that you enter on the Site or that you provide

• Error conditions that may have occurred,
including (under some circumstances) arguments
which may have been supplied by the user to
the program being run.
• Information from third parties, including
verification services, payment processing services,
and other online and offline sources. For example,
this would include information we receive from
a third-party verification service in response
to a user requesting a background check on themselves.
It would also include updated address or contact
information that we might use to correct our
records so that we can communicate with you
more easily.
Registered users and Subscribers will also provide
personal contact information including, but

does SittersoftheRockies.com or NanniesoftheRockies.com
allow for the anonymous registration of a Provider/sitter

name, last name, city, state, address, ZIP code,
phone, email address and other information specific
to the service requested or provided. If you
become a registered subscriber we may collect
your credit card information and billing address.
If you become a registered Care Provider, we
may collect your date of birth, gender, company
name (if applicable), and ZIP codes served.
If you request a background check on yourself
we may collect your Social Security Number.
In addition, if you request a background check
on yourself we may obtain criminal background
information from a third-party verification
service. Use of such a verification service
is voluntary.
