1 INFORMATION WE COLLECT.

We collect data to provide the products and services you request on the Site, ease your navigation on the Site, communicate with you, and improve your experience using the Site. Some of this information is provided by you directly to us, such as when you create an account. Some of the information is collected through your interactions with the Site or third party websites and applications. We collect such data using technologies like Cookies (as defined below) and other tracking technologies, error reports, and usage data collected when you interact with our Site.

The data we collect depends on the products, services, and features of the Site that you use, and includes the following:

1.1 Personal Information.

In general, we collect any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer (“Personal Information”) that you submit to us in the process ordering a product on the Site or that you submit to us voluntarily through your use of the Site.

We may also collect Personal Information from third parties, such as Payment Processors, product vendors, and other partners. Our collection of this information allows us to provide you with our products and services, and communicate with you in accordance with our Terms.

1.2 Automatically Collected Usage and Device Information.

Similar to other websites, we use tracking technologies to automatically collect certain technical information from your web browser, mobile, or other device when you visit the Site. This data may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, browser type and language, referring/exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages, the pages you requested and viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of your visits. Our collection of this data, described in more detail below, allows us to provide more personalized high-quality services to you and to track usage of the Site.

A. Cookies. We automatically derive and collect certain data based on your interactions with us on the Site using cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”). Our collection of data through Cookies includes information about your browser and Site usage patterns, which may include your IP address, browser type, browser language, referring/exit pages and URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, whether you opened an email, and information about the device you use to access the Site. Our collection of this information allows us to improve your user experience in various ways, such as to personalize our display of the Site to you, to “remember” whether or not you are signed in, and to provide better technical support to you. Please note: If you restrict, disable or block any or all Cookies from your web browser or mobile or other device, the Site may not operate properly, and you may not have access to certain services or parts of the Site. We will not be liable for any interruption in, or inability to use, the Site or our services or degraded functioning thereof, where such are caused by your settings and choices regarding Cookies.

B. Pixels (aka web beacons/web bugs/java script). We may use Pixels to automatically record certain technical information about your interactions with us when you visit the Site or otherwise engage with us, to help deliver Cookies on our Site, or count users who have visited the Site or used our services. We may also include web beacons in our promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether you open or act on them for statistical purposes. “Pixels” are tiny graphics (about the size of a period at the end of a sentence) with unique identifiers used to track certain online actions, movements and related information of Site users. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixels are embedded invisibly on web pages or in HTML-based emails. The data we receive through Pixels allows us to effectively promote the Site to various populations of users, and to optimize external advertisements about the Site that appear on third-party websites.

1.3 Location Information.

We collect your address information, e.g., shipping and billing address, when you order our products. We also collect and use information about your general location (e.g., your state of residence) and can infer your approximate location based on your IP address in order to track our general Site usage or to tailor any pertinent aspects of your user experience to the region where you are located.

2 THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS PROVIDERS.

We also use Google Analytics and other third party analytics providers (“Analytics Providers”) to collect information about Site usage and the users of the Site. Analytics Providers use Cookies in order to collect demographic and interest-level information and usage information from users that visit the Site, including information about the pages where users enter and exit the Site and what pages users view on the Site, time spent, browser, operating system, and IP address. Cookies allow Analytics Providers to recognize a user when a user visits the Site and when the user visits other websites. Analytics Providers use the information they collect from the Site and other websites to share with us and other website operators’ information about users including age range, gender, geographic regions, general interests, and details about devices used to visit the Site and other websites and purchase items. For more information regarding our Analytics Providers’ use of Cookies, collection and use of information, and how to opt-out of tracking, see:

5 OUR INFORMATION SHARING PRACTICES.

When we disclose Personal Information for a Business Purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to keep that Personal Information confidential and use only for performance of the contract, and not for any other purpose. We share your information, including any Personal Information, in the circumstances described below.

5.1 Business Purposes.

We disclose Personal Information for the Business Purposes more fully described in Section 4 and to the following categories of third parties:

  • Social Media.
  • Analytics Providers.
  • Payment Processors.
  • Other third-party marketing service providers.
  • Affiliated persons or third-party service providers assisting us in the operation, management, improvement, research and analysis of the Site. Affiliated persons or our third-party service providers may augment, extend, and combine non-personally identifiable information with data from additional third party sources in order to assist us with the above. Use of information by affiliated persons and third-party service providers will be subject to this Privacy Notice or an agreement that is at least as restrictive as this Privacy Notice.

5.2 Legal Requirements.

We reserve the right to disclose all information collected via the Site, internally, to affiliates, or to third parties, for any lawful purpose or to prevent harm to us or others. For example, and without limitation, in our discretion, we may disclose information to government regulators, law enforcement authorities or alleged victims of identity theft. We will notify you in the event of a government or legal request for your information unless otherwise prohibited by law.

5.3 Organizational Transitions.

If we should ever transfer or restructure the operational ownership of the Site, such as through a merger with another entity or a reorganization of all or a part of our operational responsibilities or assets, we may disclose, transfer, assign our rights, and/or delegate our duties to your information without notice and consent, including to prospective or actual recipient or acquiring entities. Should this occur, we will require any third party receiving your Personal Information as described under this subsection to be contractually required to provide the same level of privacy compliance as provided by us under this Privacy Notice.

5.4 Disclaimer.

We cannot ensure that all of your Personal Information will be disclosed only in the ways described in this Privacy Notice. For example, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your Personal Information that they collect from the Site. Even with the most rigorous information security standards, no transmission of data over the internet can be 100% secure.

6 CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA“) require us to inform parents, legal guardians, and in the case of school-based activities, teachers and school administrators (as used in this section, “parents“) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children“). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information. This section notifies parents of: (i) The types of information we may collect from children; (ii) How we use the information we collect; (iii) Our practices for disclosing that information; (iv) Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent; and (v) All operators that collect or maintain information from children through the Site.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this Privacy Notice. Only the other provisions of this Privacy Notice apply to teens and adults.

6.1 Parental Consent

COPPA requires that Animal Manners seek a parent’s consent by email before collecting personal information from a child. In the email we will explain what information we are collecting, how we plan to use it, how the parent can provide consent, and how the parent can revoke consent. If we do not receive parental consent within a reasonable time, we will delete the parent contact information and any other information collected from the child in connection with that activity.

If you believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent have NOT received an email providing notice or seeking your consent, please feel free to contact us at Info@animalmannersllc.com. See Section 6.7 of this Privacy Notice for more details on how to access, correct, delete, or revoke parental consent. Animal Manners will not use parent emails provided for parental consent purposes to market to the parent, unless the parent has expressly opted in to email marketing or has separately participated in an activity that allows for such email contact.

6.2 Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Site and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Site. We collect only as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

6.3 Information We Collect Directly

A child must provide us with the following information to place an order on the Site: name, address, e-mail address, and phone number.

6.4 Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Site and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:

  • One or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services; and
  • Information that identifies a device’s location (geolocation information).

We may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

6.6 Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information

We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children’s personal information other than as described in this section.
We may disclose aggregated information about many of our users, and information that does not identify any individual or device. In addition, we may disclose children’s personal information:

  • To third parties we use to support the internal operations of our Site and who are bound by contractual or other obligations to use the information only for such purpose and to keep the information confidential; and
  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.

    • protect the safety of a child;
    • protect the safety and security of the Site; or
    • enable us to take precautions against liability.
  • To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

6.7 Accessing and Correcting Your Child’s Personal Information

7 YOUR CHOICE AND OPTIONS RELATING TO OUR COLLECTION.

You can choose not to provide Personal Information. You may always decline to provide your Personal Information to us.

7.1 You May Decline Other Requests.

We use your Personal Information as needed for the purposes for which it was collected or where you have consented to our use of such information. If you do not wish to provide information to us or do not wish to consent to the uses described in this Privacy Notice, please do not use the Site or supply the requested information to us.

7.2 Online Tracking Choices.

Most web browsers are initially set up to accept Cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, some features and services of the Site may not function properly if your Cookies are disabled. Similarly, if you choose to delete session objects from the Site, you may not be able to access or use all or part of the Site or benefit from some or all of the information or features and services offered.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have the user’s online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about that browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operations, including the Site, do not respond to DNT signals.

8 ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We do not review for accuracy or update your information regularly, but encourage you to access, review and update your Personal Information at any time. To request a copy of your Personal Information and data or for assistance regarding canceling your account, contact us at Info@animalmannersllc.com or by calling us at 800-851-2081 We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably possible after verifying your authority to make such requests.

9 SAFETY AND INFORMATION SECURITY MEASURES.

9.1 Security.

We use certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to preserve the security of your information that we maintain in connection with your use of the Site. For example, we encrypt all data with secure sockets layer (SSL) or similar technologies when we transmit your data. This, however, does not guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by any breach of our physical, technical or managerial safeguards. In the event that any of your Personal Information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and will notify you, as appropriate, in accordance with pertinent laws and regulations.

9.2 Storage.

We or our third-party hosting providers store Personal Information in operating environments that are safeguarded against public or unauthorized access and protected from internal access with physical and technical security measures. While these measures are helpful to safeguard your Personal Information after we receive it, no transmission of data over the internet is 100% secure.
