Privacy Policy

By visiting K9INFO.COM, you agree to all terms, conditions, and notices described in this privacy policy.

What Personal Information Do We Collect About You?

K9INFO.COM only collects personal information about you that you provide to us. This information may be obtained from correspondence (i.e. e-mail, support requests, etc...) or from the establishment of an account.

Specifically, K9INFO.COM collects personal information from you when you:

1. Purchase a product or service from our site; 2. Contact K9INFO.COM.

This information may include:

- Your first and last name - Mailing address - Zip or postal code - E-mail address - Telephone number

In the event you make an on-line purchase from us, your credit card information will also be requested. Your credit card information is NOT stored with K9INFO.COM. The credit card information is encrypted, using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and sent to a credit card processing center that authorizes the transaction. Orders sent to K9INFO.COM via US Mail, containing credit card information, are processed and the portion of the order form containing credit card data is destroyed. The remainder of the order form is retained for record keeping.

 

How Does K9INFO.COM Use Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information that is passed from a web server you visit to your web browser. This information is then stored on your hard drive. The cookie data is then sent back to the web server each time you request a new page from that web server.

K9INFO.COM uses cookie data to provide us with a measure of a number of important usage statistics:

- Unique visitors to the site - Average number of page views per visitor - Average length of stay of a visitor to the site

These statistics are used to help draw advertisers and sponsors to the site and help us to characterize how the site is used.

Most web browsers permit you to configure how you would like cookies to be handled. By default, most browsers allow cookies to be set, but you can also configure your browser to block cookies, or alert you to the fact that a web site you are visiting is attempting to set a cookie. If you would like to change how your browser handles cookies, view the Help menu in your browser.

If you block cookies from being set, the following features of K9INFO.COM will not be available to you:

- Account management (i.e. creating, editing, or deleting an account) - Shopping cart functionality (i.e. purchasing products or services)

Both of these functions of K9INFO.COM rely on cookies to provide session tracking and help us to distinguish one user from another. Without session tracking, it is not possible to track the transactions of a particular user because the user appears as an anonymous entity.

 

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

The personal information you provide to us in conjunction with the purchase of K9INFO.COM's products or services or as a result of contacting K9INFO.COM is classified as Account Information. We protect this information in several different ways.

First, access by you to your account information is available through a username/password combination and the session you establish to view your account information is encrypted. In addition, information you send to K9INFO.COM to establish your account is also encrypted. We strongly recommend that you never divulge your password to anyone.

Second, we limit access to your information to only those employees who need it to perform the services we provide to you and we require our employees who receive the information to safeguard and protect it.

Finally, the servers that store account information are protected by a series of network security devices including firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

 

How Do We Use The Information We Collect?

As a general rule, we do not sell or rent information that would allow someone to personally identify you. There are some ways in which we might use the information that you provide us, and there are some occasions where we might be forced to disclose such information. For example, we might provide advertisers certain aggregate information in order to promote our site (but this information could not be used to personally identify you), we might provide suppliers or service providers certain information necessary to allow them to perform their responsibilities (but we restrict how this information is used or accessed), or we might respond to legal requests of intellectual property and other rights owners and law enforcement agencies (but you would be notified of these requests).
