What information do we
collect and what do we do with it?
|
Our website or customer
service team (if ordering by phone, fax, or mail) will ask you for information
which identifies you, allows us to contact you, and allows us to process your
order. Specifically, these items are the following:
- Name
- Shipping Address
- Phone Number
- Credit Card Number and Expiration Date
- Billing Address
- E-mail Address
- Keycode
|
| Your name and address is
added to our catalog mailing list. By being on this mailing list, you will
receive our quarterly catalogs. Occasionally, we share mailing lists with other
catalog companies. We use third party personnel to print and mail the quarterly
catalog. These parties are exposed to your mailing information as needed for
catalog distribution. |
| |
|
The personal information that
you have given us and the information about your order may be shared with third
parties for marketing purposes. This information may be combined with other
personally identifiable information (such as demographic information and past
purchase history) available from our records and other sources. This information
will be used to make out future marketing efforts more efficient. It may also be
used by our marketing partners to bring you offers of interest. If you prefer
that we do not share you name address with marketing partners, please e-mail us
at Privacy@carealotpets.com

Your billing address is used
to verify your credit card information. The billing information of all new
customers will be verified. This is for your protection against fraud and theft.
Customers who use a debit card for payment may be required to provide the phone
number of the card issuing bank which is listed on the back of the card. This
also will be used for billing verification.
|
| |
The keycode is the 4 digit
(number and letters) on the mailing label of your catalog. It is used for
marketing purposes only.
|
| |
Our site automatically
collects data such as the URL you came from, IP address, domain type, browser
type, country you are ordering from, the pages you viewed and items your
searched during your visit. This information is used internally for marketing
purposes and will not be distributed outside the company.
|
| |
How is information on the
computer system and website protected?
|
Our computer system is
protected using advanced firewall technology. All information received from a
web order, including your credit card number and expiration date, are stored on
our secure server.
|
| |
Our Verisign certificate
allows our customers web browsers to verify our site's authenticity and to
communicate with it securely via SSL encryption.
|
| |
This protects private
information from being intercepted over the internet. In addition, all data sent
over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for determining
whether the data has been altered in transit. This means our customers can
confidently send private data, such as credit card numbers, to our website,
trusting that SSL keeps it private and confidential.

Why do we collect
cookies?
|
We use cookies to help
identify you when you visit the store and to create a shopping history page. If
you have flushed your cookies since your order, no history page information will
be available. Your computer may flush your cookies
automatically.
|
| |
Can I change my
information?
|
We encourage our customers
to keep their information up to date. By informing us of duplicate catalog
mailings or a changing of an address, you can help keep our costs down. Lower
costs mean lower prices!!
