What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information:
personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use
information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners,
you may need to give personal information and authorization to obtain information from various credit services.
For example, you may need to provide the following information:
· Name

· Other personal information (i.e. mother's maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners, if
you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together
with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web
site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.
This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
|
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers
and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send
you product and service offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed to
safeguard the security and privacy of our customers' personal information. As a customer, you will be given the
opportunity, at least once annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.

What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature
of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are
small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what
information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same
user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier
for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies
should make your online experience easier and more personalized.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server
logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our customers. This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective
customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace
the paths followed by users to our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to
count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies
to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you although they do permit
us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you.
|
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised
on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service providers that are responsible and afford privacy
protections to their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of
these companies.
|
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your name, address, telephone number and email
for the purpose of providing you information regarding products and services that we think will be of interest
to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships, we will retain all ownership rights to
the information, and we will not share information regarding your social security number or other personal financial
data.
|
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you
about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our
client, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on
a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at info @ just4pooches.com
|
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our
Web site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent
to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place
prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information
such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
|
Employee Access, Training and Expectations.
Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure
of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
|
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site
traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information
will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
|
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
|
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on
our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
|
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post
those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances
we may disclose it.
