As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in cookies and log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the website, to track users’ movements around the website and to gather demographic information about our users. We do not link this automatically-collected data to your registered email or any other personally identifiable information.

The Website contains links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites.

Security of the Internet
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

Business Transitions
In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your registered email and any personally identifiable information we have on you and or your dog will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via e-mail of any such change in ownership or control.
