Use of Cookies:  A "cookie" is a file which is saved on your computer's hard drive that contains non-personal information.  Cookies help to give you faster access to pages you have already visited.  PawPlace.com uses these cookies to help us figure out how many people visit our site, webpage frequency, and duration spent within the site.  This information allows us to monitor which areas within our site may need improvement and which areas are most popular.  You may choose to disable cookies on your computer by altering the options menu in your browser.  Disabling cookies may prevent you from optimally using the Services within our Site. 

We use contact information to help us efficiently perform transactions, to deliver the services you have requested, to perform quality assurance, sales and marketing analyses.  We may also provide your contact information to your credit card issuer (where applicable) or to credit card processors for their purposes.  No other use of your financial information will be made except to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental request, or judicial order.  When you register with this Site, you will provide us with an e mail address where we, or these service providers, may contact you for the purposes described in this paragraph. 

With respect to Ad Servers/Banner Ads: To try and bring you offers that are of interest to you, we have relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to our site, ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and click stream information. The ad service provider may place or utilize their own unique cookie on your browser, and may use non-personally identifiable information about your visit to our sites, such as the number of times you have viewed the advertisement.  PawPlace.com is not responsible for the collection of these cookies, nor the action of these service providers. 

PawPlace.com may place links to other web sites operated by other parties and from time to time may include information and links to third party web sites in promotional emails.  When you click on these links and visit these other web sites, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks, or other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other web sites, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other web sites.  Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about you.  We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions. 

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back periodically.

With respect to security: When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information such as financial information we redirect visitors to a secure server. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and make all commercially reasonable efforts to do so, PawPlace.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.  However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.  This privacy policy does not apply to any information, including such photographs, that you submit for use in publicly available areas within or outside of our Site.  We ask that you do not submit any financial information for display in public areas, as other people who use these Services will see it.  If you submit personal, contact or financial information for display in public areas, PawPlace.com cannot prevent it from being used in a manner that violates the law, your personal privacy or your safety.  By submitting such information for display in public areas, you assume the risks and sole liability arising as a result of such information being displayed.
