Pets and Peo­ple Pri­vacy Policy

We under­stand how impor­tant it is to keep your per­sonal infor­ma­tion con­fi­den­tial. The fol­low­ing pri­vacy pol­icy out­lines what infor­ma­tion we col­lect through our web­site Pets and Peo­ple, how we deal with it, and what we do to ensure it is secure.

Through­out this pol­icy, we refer to your ‘per­sonal infor­ma­tion’ which means infor­ma­tion which iden­ti­fies you as an indi­vid­ual or from which your iden­tity can be rea­son­ably ascer­tained. Your address is an exam­ple of per­sonal information.

The per­sonal infor­ma­tion we col­lect through this web­site usu­ally comes from any com­ments or mes­sages you sub­mit to us. Pets and Peo­ple auto­mat­i­cally col­lects and record this infor­ma­tion with our server logs from your browser. Gen­er­ally, we obtain your IP address, cookie infor­ma­tion and the page you requested.

Changes to Policies

In addi­tion to the con­di­tions of this pri­vacy pol­icy, there are occa­sion­ally spe­cific and addi­tional pri­vacy con­di­tions that per­tain to spe­cific sec­tions of our site. These spe­cific and addi­tional pro­vi­sions have an impact on your pri­vacy pro­tec­tion so we strongly sug­gest that you assess them wher­ever they show up. If you find that the con­di­tions of this pri­vacy pol­icy and those other spe­cific and addi­tional con­di­tions con­tra­dict one another, the spe­cific and addi­tional pro­vi­sions will prevail.

If we make any changes to our pri­vacy pol­icy, we will post them on our web­site so you are aware of them. It is rec­om­mended that you visit this web­site pri­vacy pol­icy from time to time to keep up to date with the lat­est version.

Secu­rity

Pets and Peo­ple have numer­ous secu­rity sys­tems in place and our aim is to pro­tect the secu­rity and integrity of your per­sonal infor­ma­tion. Once we get pos­ses­sion of any per­sonal infor­ma­tion, we take rea­son­able steps to pro­tect that infor­ma­tion from mis­use and loss and from unau­tho­rized access, mod­i­fi­ca­tion or disclosure.

Unfor­tu­nately, when it comes to the internet,nothing is guar­an­teed to be entirely safe. So although we make every effort to pro­tect your per­sonal infor­ma­tion, you need to be care­ful because any­thing can happen.

Cook­ies

These days, it is not uncom­mon for sites to use“cookies” to iden­tify and learn about site vis­i­tors. Cook­ies are minia­ture iden­ti­fiers that work as a license plate because they help us to iden­tify you if you visit our site again. These iden­ti­fiers are sent from a web­server and are stored on your computer’s hard drive. We may set and access cook­ies on your com­puter because they help us to see how you found our website.Under no cir­cum­stances would we ever use them to get data from your hard drive,your email or any other per­sonal infor­ma­tion about you.

To ensure your pri­vacy is secure, we do not use cook­ies to pass on or store any per­son­ally iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion about you online. You have the option of reject­ing cook­ies by chang­ing your browser set­tings but this can cause some web pages not to load prop­erly and can result in denied access to cer­tain information.

Use and dis­clo­sure of information

We share your per­sonal infor­ma­tion with a third party because they assist us with man­ag­ing and host­ing. We may also share your per­sonal infor­ma­tion with ser­vice providers that help us with:

• con­sult­ing;
• archiv­ing;
• audit­ing;
• tech­nol­ogy;
• secu­rity services;
• mail­house; and
• deliv­ery

We do not dis­close your per­sonal infor­ma­tion for our own ben­e­fit. The rea­sons why we may use or dis­close per­sonal infor­ma­tion­that we col­lect about you are:

• if you pro­vided it for a cer­tain purpose;
• to uphold our rela­tion­ship with you;
• if you have agreed to the use or disclosure;
• for exam­i­na­tion or for mar­ket­ing use;
• where a third party acquires, shows inter­est in acquir­ing, or makes inquiries in rela­tion to acquir­ing, an inter­est in this website;
• if we are required or autho­rized by law to do so; or
• for web­site usage/user statistics

We also like to keep our site vis­i­tors updated on our ser­vices, progress and any other rel­e­vant mat­ters. When we do this, we fil­ter out the irrel­e­vant infor­ma­tion and invi­ta­tions and only send what we believe is rel­e­vant for your com­pany. If you would pre­fer that no con­tact was­made, please let us know using the con­tact details set out below.

Links

Many web­sites these days con­tain links to exter­nal sites. Our site has links to the web­sites of other orga­ni­za­tions which we believe could poten­tially be of inter­est to you.

We are not respon­si­ble for the con­tent or prac­tices of these linked sites. They are sep­a­rate busi­nesses and they have their own pri­vacy prac­tices which are not iden­ti­cal to ours. If you want to find out more about them, check those web­sites for their respec­tive pri­vacy statements.

You have the right to request access to any per­sonal infor­ma­tion which we hold about you. All you need to do is use the ‘Con­tact Us’ set out below. Be as detailed as pos­si­ble about which infor­ma­tionyou seek, so we can help you as soon as pos­si­ble. In order to cover our costs of pro­vid­ing this infor­ma­tion to you, an access fee may be charged.
