1Who We Are
InsightScoop is a service of Yardura (doing business as InsightScoop), located at 5632 Morgan Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55419. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Yardura and the InsightScoop platform, including our website, mobile applications (iOS and Android), and related services.
2Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account & identity information. Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, and — for independent contractor (scooper) applicants — the last four digits of your Social Security number for background check purposes.
- Pet & household information. Pet names, breeds, ages, health conditions, yard access details, and service preferences.
- Location data. GPS coordinates collected from scooper devices during active route shifts for route tracking, service verification, and mileage recording. Customer addresses are geocoded for scheduling and routing.
- Photos & health-adjacent data. Stool sample images captured during service visits, along with AI-generated wellness analysis attributes (color, consistency, content) used to provide pet health insights. This data is health-adjacent and informational — it is not a medical diagnosis.
- Payment information. Credit/debit card details and bank account information are collected and processed by our payment processor, Stripe. We store only the last four digits and card type for reference. Scooper payout details are managed through Stripe Connect.
- Device & usage information. Device identifiers, IP address, browser type, operating system, app version, pages viewed, referring URLs, and product interactions (button clicks, feature usage) collected automatically when you use our services.
- Communications. Messages, support requests, and other communications you send to us.
- In-app purchase data. Subscription status, product identifiers, and renewal or expiration dates from Apple App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat. We do not receive or store full payment card details for in-app purchases.
3How We Use Your Information
- Service delivery. Provide quotes, schedule visits, assign routes, track scooper activity, process payments, and deliver pet waste removal services.
- AI wellness analysis. Analyze stool sample images using artificial intelligence to generate pet health insights, wellness scores, and trend reports for pet owners.
- Billing & payouts. Process customer payments, calculate scooper earnings, issue payouts via Stripe Connect, and generate tax documentation (1099-NEC forms).
- Scooper management. Facilitate background checks, onboarding, route assignments, performance tracking, and communication with independent contractors.
- Communications. Send confirmations, reminders, service summaries, wellness updates, invoices, and respond to support requests.
- Improvement & analytics. Operate, maintain, and improve our websites, apps, routing algorithms, and AI models.
- Marketing. Personalize offers, measure campaign performance, and deliver relevant marketing when permitted.
- Safety & compliance. Detect and prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations.
Where required by law, we rely on your consent to send marketing communications, on contractual necessity to deliver services you request, and on legitimate interests to improve our operations and protect InsightScoop, our scooper network, and our customers.
