What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our website, you may provide us with

on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.

You may also provide additional comments on how you see DogPack.com, Inc. servicing your needs and interests.
If you choose to correspond with us through e-mail, we
may retain the content of your e-mail messages together with your e-mail
address and our responses.
Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is usually
associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet
Service Provider, your company or your university. We may use your IP address
to help diagnose problems with our server, gather broad demographic
information, and administer our website.
- Website Use Information
Similar to other commercial websites, our website
utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What
Are Cookies?”) and web server logs to collect information about how our website
is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include
the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and
the websites visited just before and just after our website.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for
doing our job. We do not sell our users’ e-mail addresses. If you do not wish
to receive communications from us, simply follow the un-subscribe instructions
contained with any e-mail, or reply to us that you prefer not to receive any
e-mail from us. We disclose your information to perform a number of functions
including without limitation:
Your information will be disclosed to our employees, suppliers and contractors in order for them to do their job;
Your information will be disclosed if we are required to do so by law or subpoena or requested by law enforcement agencies or courts that have jurisdiction over our organization;
We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves; and
We also allow access to our database by third parties that provide us with services, such as technical maintenance and search software, but only for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to provide those services.
While disclosure of your information is limited as
outlined above, we reserve the right to use aggregated anonymous data about our
users as a group for any business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and
seeking compatible advertisers and partners.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often
includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s
computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your
hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect
your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. If you don't
want cookies, your web browser likely includes an option that allows you to not
accept them. However, if you set your browser to refuse cookies, some portions
of our website may not function properly.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you use our website, the site uses its cookies to
differentiate you from other browsers so your input form is only available to
you. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary
material or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our web server’s log files, allow us to calculate
the aggregate number of people visiting our website and which parts of the site
are most popular or useful. This helps us gather feedback in order to
constantly improve our website and better serve the homeowners. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you, and we do not generally
store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
There is no guarantee that the information you supply
to us will remain confidential; however, we have taken the following steps in
an attempt to preserve the confidentiality and security of the information you
provide to us.
We limit access to personal information about you to employees and contractors who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide the services for you or in order to do their jobs.
We have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect credit card information.
E-mail is not recognized as a secure medium of
communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private
information to us by e-mail. If you choose to communicate with us through
e-mail, you are assuming the risk of doing so.

websites linked to or from our website, nor the information or content
