Privacy Notice

At ReturnMe, your privacy is a key part of how our lost & found recovery service works. Our goal is to help return your lost items while keeping your personal information protected.

Privacy at a glance

We collect only the information needed to provide our service.

When you create a ReturnMe account, we collect basic contact information such as your name, email address and country so we can contact you if one of your registered items is found. Additional information such as your phone number is optional.

Your personal information is not printed on your tag.

Your ReturnMe tag uses a unique ID number that connects to our secure system. This allows a finder to report your lost item without seeing your personal contact details.

We use your information to help recover your lost items.

We may use your contact information to notify you when an item is found, remind you to update your account, send membership or service updates, and support the recovery process.

We do not sell your personal information.

ReturnMe does not rent, sell, or share your personal information with outside companies for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

Finder and owner information is protected.

ReturnMe does not share the finder’s personal information with the owner, or the owner’s personal information with the finder, unless both parties agree or unless it is needed to help safely return the item.

Shipping may require limited information sharing.

If ReturnMe helps ship a lost item back to you, certain information such as your name, phone number, email, or shipping address may need to be shared with shipping partners or, in some cases, the finder. For security reasons, we recommend using a business, office, or alternative address instead of your home address when possible.

You control your account information.

You can log in to your ReturnMe account at any time to update your contact details, manage your contact preferences, or delete your account.

We take security seriously.

ReturnMe uses security measures, restricted database access, SSL technology, and secure service providers to help protect your information.

You are responsible for keeping your contact information up to date.

To make sure we can reach you if your item is found, please keep your account details current.

Please read our full Privacy Notice below for complete details.

By entering the Finder’s details on the www.return.me website or allowing our call center to do so, the Finder agrees to allow ReturnMe’s call center and its shipping logistics partners to use the Finder’s information to assist in the recovery of a found item or pet, and to facilitate the return of this item to its rightful owner. As a part of our service, the Finder may be asked for their consent to allow the Finder’s details to be disclosed to the registered owner of the item.

Owner’s name, number, email and address will be shared with shipping parties and in some cases the finder in the event ReturnMe is shipping back a lost item to the owner. For security reasons we strongly encourage owners to provide an address other than their home when shipping back items especially keys.

5. How Information Is Shared

By activating ReturnMe products, our Customers have imparted their trust in us. Accordingly, we have taken every reasonable security precaution necessary to assure that this trust continues to be earned.

We will use or disclose a client’s personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, namely to facilitate the safe return of that client’s lost valuable item or animal, unless otherwise communicated to the User.

We will not rent, sell or share your personal information with any other company for its own marketing purposes without your consent except where mentioned in this policy. ReturnMe may share part of the Customer’s contact information (such as name, email, contact number, address or survey information etc.) with companies or organizations from which the Customer has purchased or received a ReturnMe product from. No financial information will ever be shared. All non-affiliated companies that act on our behalf and receive Customer information from us are obligated to keep the information we provide to them confidential and to use the Customer information we share only to provide services from their company. No credit card information is saved in our database and thus nothing will ever be transmitted to anyone at any time. The Customer may be prompted to fill out a survey questionnaire, the results of which are shared with the company that had given or sold the Customer the ReturnMe product. The company may use this information to contact the Customer at a later date.

If you wish to have your information removed from our list of shared Customer information, please email us with the subject title “remove” or send a request in writing to our Canadian Office which can be found on our contact us page.

Your request will be processed and you will be notified within 48 hours.

ReturnMe will not disclose personal information about the finder or owner to each other unless both parties agree. Both parties may agree upon situations in which they don’t mind or wish to meet each other to facilitate the return of a found item. The same goes for any party or business with whom the lost item has been left by the original finder for courier pickup.

ReturnMe may disclose your personal information as required or permitted by law to local authorities if requested.
