Like so many other standard
websites,
this website Puppies-and-Dogs.net uses log files. These include:
Internet Protocol
addresses (IP addresses), browser type, Internet Service Provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the
number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user
movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc., are not
linked
to personally identifiable information.
Puppies-and-Dogs.net strives to offer its visitors the many advantages
of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name,
e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the
page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate
and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make
a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites,
Puppies-and-Dogs.net also collects information automatically and
through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service
Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user
name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other
means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of
the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and
we may not be able to customize the site�s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information
to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not
personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g.,
to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information
collected on Puppies-and-Dogs.net to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by Puppies-and-Dogs.net
and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Puppies-and-Dogs.net
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access
such information. We will use your information only as permitted by
law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the
transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response
to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts
you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we
deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Puppies-and-Dogs.net expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be
aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through
our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and
practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to,
or view as part of a frame on a Puppies-and-Dogs.net page, certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through Puppies-and-Dogs.net you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. Puppies-and-Dogs.net is not responsible for
the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional
partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third
parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine
whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and
may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
Puppies-and-Dogs.net does not control the use of this technology by
third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for
any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily
disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in
chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may
result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of Puppies-and-Dogs.net and this
policy.
Children
Puppies-and-Dogs.net does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children
under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe
Puppies-and-Dogs.net has any information from or about anyone under 13,
