PUGPALOOZA PRIVACY POLICY
SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you purchase something from our blog, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. When you browse our blog, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email marketing (if applicable): We may send you emails about our blog, our Etsy store, new products and other updates. We may also send you emails about other products and services that we think you’d like, based on your interest in our store and newsletter. For example, we sell cat and dog products and may occasionally send you an email about a cat product other than the products we make, but that we think you would be interested in.
If you choose to subscribe to our feed or our email posts, your email address is the only information we will retain about you. Likewise, if you correspond with Pugpalooza or its employees, any information you disclose will be saved in emails. These will not be forwarded, shared, or posted, except in those circumstances where you request our trainer, veterinarian or other staff member to assist or publish your information in a way that is regularly published as a post (columns containing reader-supplied content.)
SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How do we get your consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
