THE PET GIFT SHOP COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Your privacy is very important to us. To better protect your privacy,
the Pet Gift Shop voluntarily provides this notice to explain our online
information practices and the choices you make about the way your information
is collected and how it is used. This notice is accessible on our homepage,
as well as any point where personally identifiable information may be
requested.
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
This notice is applicable to all information collected or submitted
on the Pet Gift Shop website. Through our online gift shop, you can
order products, make requests and/or suggestions, submit questions,
and request catalogs or other materials. Types of personal information
collected at these pages are:
- Name
- Address
- Email address
- Phone/Fax numbers
- Credit Card Information
- Your opinion on our merchant’s products, and our
website
You may be asked to submit information about third parties (i.e.
when shipping gift items to other recipients). In this instance, the
personal information collected is the recipient’s name, address
and phone number.
HOW THE PET GIFT SHOP USES YOUR INFORMATION
The information you provide when placing an order is used only to complete
that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except
to the extent necessary to process that order (i.e., sending your order
to the merchant for shipment). The same goes for information you provide
about anyone else when placing an order. We do not share this information
with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that
order.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such
addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared
with or sold to outside parties. You can register via telephone or email
with our website if you would like to receive catalogs or other information
from our vendors. The information you submit otherwise will not be
used for this purpose unless YOU REQUEST IT.
THE INFORMAITON YOU PROVIDE
We receive and store any information you provide to us when you
participate in a sweepstakes or other incentive, become a Pet Gift
Shop.com purchaser, sign up to receive our newsletter or other email
communications, communicate by mail, telephone or physical mail with
our customer service, or otherwise interact with us. Again, such information
may include your name, address, email address, shopping interests and
preferences, transaction history, and other personal data. You can
choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be
able to participate in our surveys or incentives, or take advantage
of certain Pet Gift Shop features.
Special Offers: Sometimes
we send email newsletters or special offers to selected groups of Pet
Gift Shop shoppers who have chosen to receive
email on behalf of participating merchants or other businesses. When
we do this, we do not give that merchant or business your name or
e-mail address. If you do not want to receive such newsletters
or offers,
please click here to contact us and be removed from our mailing list.
INFORMATION GATHERED AUTOMATICALLY
We gather certain types of information whenever you contact us. For
example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies” to obtain
certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our Web site
and our participating merchants’ sites, or when you are provided
the opportunity to participate in a sweepstakes or other incentive, or
open or respond to any Pet Gift Shop newsletter.
Briefly, “cookies” are small files that we transfer to your
computer’s hard drive or your Web browser memory to enable our
systems to recognize your browser. This allows us to provide convenience
and other features to you, such as recognizing you as a Pet Gift Shop.com
member, or customizing merchant surveys you may be asked to complete
so that you don’t need to provide the same information more than
once.
THE PET GIFT SHOP COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure
the proper use of information, we have employed the proper physical,
electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online.
Email Policies: From time to time the Pet Gift Shop will send
newsletters and other email to members and others who have agreed to
be contacted by the Pet Gift Shop. You can always choose not to receive
email from the Pet Gift Shop. Each of our email messages contains a
link at the bottom of the email for the purpose of adjusting your email
subscription preferences. If you do not want to receive email from
us, please click
here to be removed from our mailing list. (If you
do not want to receive notice of changes to legal notices from us,
such as updates to this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern
your use of Animall.com, and it is your responsibility to review them
for changes.)
Anti-Spam Policy: Animall, Inc. is opposed to unsolicited
commercial email (“spam”). We do not send emails to anyone
without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to
any unauthorized third party. If you receive any unsolicited emails
from spammers, please be assured that we did not provide your email
address to such parties.
