PRIVACY POLICY
The Pink Poodle | 328 South Bascom Avenue, San Jose, CA 95128
Effective Date: April 2026 | Last Updated: April 2026
1. Introduction
PinkPoodle Enterprise Inc., doing business as The Pink Poodle ("we," "us," or "our"), operates the website pinkpoodle.com (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights as a California resident.
This Privacy Policy is provided in good faith and is intended to comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act ("CalOPPA"), and — to the extent applicable — the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), and the 2026 CCPA regulations adopted by the California Privacy Protection Agency ("CPPA"). While we may not meet every statutory threshold for mandatory CCPA/CPRA coverage, we voluntarily provide California residents with the rights described in this policy.
By using our Website or submitting information through our forms, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it through the employment application form on our Website. The information collected through this form may include:
• First and last name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Home address (street, city, state, ZIP code)
• Desired position and availability
• Brief summary of relevant experience
• Social media links (for entertainer applicants only, where voluntarily provided)
• A fully clothed, non-nude photograph (for entertainer applicants only, where voluntarily provided)
• Confirmation that you are 18 years of age or older
We do not collect any personal information from visitors who browse the Website without submitting a form. We do not knowingly collect health information, biometric identifiers, geolocation data, or other categories of sensitive personal information through the Website.
2.1 Information Collected by Third Parties on Our Website
Our employment application form uses Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA collects limited technical information (such as your IP address, browser type, and interaction data) and processes this information under Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We do not control or have access to the data Google collects through reCAPTCHA.
For more information, please review:
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
Other than Google reCAPTCHA, we do not use cookies, tracking pixels, web analytics tools, advertising trackers, or any other third-party data collection technologies on this Website.
2.2 Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals to websites. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking of visitors and we do not use analytics or advertising trackers on the Website, our processing of Do Not Track signals is not applicable. We treat all visitors consistently regardless of any tracking signal sent by the browser.
2.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers support the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal as a mechanism to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As described in Section 5, we do not sell or share personal information for advertising purposes, so the GPC signal does not affect any data processing performed by The Pink Poodle.
3. How We Use Your Information
The personal information you submit through our employment application is used exclusively for the following purpose:
Single Stated Purpose
To review and evaluate your application for employment, audition, or contracting at The Pink Poodle, and to communicate with you about your application.
We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making. We do not use your information to train artificial intelligence or machine learning systems. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party for any commercial purpose.
4. How We Store, Protect, and Retain Your Information
4.1 Storage and Security
Application information is received and stored securely by The Pink Poodle management. We implement reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4.2 Retention Period
We retain employment application information for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date of submission. If you are actively under consideration for a position beyond this period, we may retain your information for additional time as needed to complete the hiring process. After this retention period, application information is securely deleted.
If you wish to have your information deleted before the end of the retention period, you may contact us using the information in Section 9 to request deletion.
4.3 Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable California law, including California Civil Code Section 1798.82 and the 30-day notification timeline established under the 2026 CCPA regulations where applicable.
5. We Do Not Sell or Share Your Personal Information
The Pink Poodle does not sell personal information, and does not share personal information for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. This applies to all categories of personal information we collect, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA").
We have not sold or shared the personal information of California residents in the preceding twelve (12) months, and we have no intention of doing so. Because we do not engage in selling or sharing of personal information, we do not maintain a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on the Website. If our practices change in the future, this policy will be updated and a clear opt-out mechanism will be provided.
6. Your Rights as a California Resident
As a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information. We provide these rights to all California residents who interact with our Website, regardless of whether our business meets the statutory thresholds for mandatory CCPA/CPRA coverage:
6.1 Right to Know
You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources from which we collected the information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting it, and the categories of any third parties with whom we have shared it.
6.2 Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions provided by law.
6.3 Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
6.4 Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Although we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through our Website, you have the right to direct us to limit our use and disclosure of any sensitive personal information we may inadvertently collect.
6.5 Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
As described in Section 5, we do not sell or share personal information. If our practices change in the future, you will have the right to opt out of any such sale or sharing.
6.6 Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Exercising these rights will have no effect on the consideration of your employment application or any other interaction with The Pink Poodle.
6.7 How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 9. We will need to verify your identity before responding to your request. We will respond to verified requests within forty-five (45) days as required by law. If we need additional time, we may extend the response period by an additional forty-five (45) days and will notify you of the extension.
There is no charge for exercising your rights. If your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly because of its repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, as permitted by law.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Website is intended for adults eighteen (18) years of age and older. We do not direct our Website to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. All employment applicants must be at least 18 years of age, and applicants are required to confirm their age before submitting an application.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor under the age of 18, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a minor has provided personal information through our Website, please contact us using the information in Section 9.
Under the 2026 CCPA regulations, personal information collected from individuals under the age of 16 is classified as sensitive personal information.
Because our Website is restricted to adults 18 and older, this regulation does not apply to our intended audience. However, in the unlikely event that we receive information from a minor, we will treat such information as sensitive personal information and delete it as required.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we update the policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. If we make material changes, we will provide a more prominent notice on our Website, such as a banner on the homepage or a notice at the top of the Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect your information. Your continued use of our Website after any changes constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
