This privacy policy describes how (PETPVT) collects, uses, and shares the information you provide when visiting our website. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting it. By using our website, you consent to our privacy policy and agree to its terms.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information from you such as your name, email address, and other contact details when you subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a form, or make a purchase on our website. We may also collect non-personal information such as your browser type, IP address, and the pages you visit on our website.
How We Use Your Information
We may use your personal information to communicate with you about your order, respond to your inquiries, and send you newsletters or promotional materials. We may also use your non-personal information to analyze trends, administer our website, track user movements, and gather demographic information.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow it) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” or “permanent” cookie). “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies remain stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted by you. Local stored objects (or “flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than that website.
Similar Technologies:
In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with a website:
Web beacons: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels”) with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.
Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media platforms that allow you to interact with social media services when you view a webpage or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the “Uniform Resource Locator,” which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a webpage) when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are in Use and Why Do We Use Them?
Facebook:
We use Facebook’s technologies to serve relevant advertisements and to track Facebook ad-driven visitor activity on the Site. Facebook Connect also gives you the option to post information about your activities to your profile page to share with others within your network by using a single sign-in service to authenticate your identity. You may learn more about Facebook’s policies by visiting https://www.facebook.com/policy.php, and you can also find instructions for opting out of receiving advertisements via that page.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior on our website. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to personalize your experience on our website, improve our services, and analyze how users interact with our website.
DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your personal information with third-party service providers such as payment processors, shipping companies, and email marketing services. These service providers have access to your personal information only to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use your personal information for any other purpose.
We may also disclose your personal information if required by law or in response to a valid legal request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials.
Other Third-Party Technologies
Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.
Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
