Privacy Policy
TheGreenPetShop.com is an internet website where people can share information about their pets, including pictures and videos, with other pet owners. All subscribers, visitors and participants in or to TheGreenPetShop.com are covered by our Ironclad Privacy Policy. TheGreenPetShop.com is hereafter referred to as “TGPS”.
What information do we collect from you?
When you register as a user of TGPS, we collect your name, email address and zip or postal code. If you register your pet, we may collect information about your pet including its name, age, breed, gender, activities, etc.
In order to maximize the value of the website to its users we collect aggregate information about visits to the site (such as which pages are visited) and we collect information about visitors’ computers (such as browser type, browser language, and IP address). This information is never shared with anyone, period.
How do we use the information we collect from you?
We will never sell, rent, barter or otherwise share your name, email address or other personal identifying information to any outside party.
We may use information in the following ways:
For the purposes for which you specifically provided the information including, for example, to enable us to process, validate and verify subscriptions.
To send you e-mail notifications about our new or existing products and services, special offers, or to otherwise contact you.
To enhance existing features or develop new features, products and services.
To provide advertisers and other third parties with aggregate information about our user base and usage patterns.
To allow us to personalize the content and advertising that you and others see based on personal characteristics or preferences.
Except as specifically set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your personally identifiable information outside of TGPS and its affiliates unless you specifically agree to having your personally identifiable information shared with a company that is not affiliated with us.
We will use information you enter about your pet only to display it on the web site. It will never be sold, rented, bartered or otherwise shared to any outside party. Since the website is accessible by anyone with an internet connection and a web browser, any information, pictures and videos you post can be copied by any other internet user. Although we discourage abusive copying, the opportunity for it is an inherent part of the internet. You should never give us information, pictures or videos that you do not now or ever want someone else to have access to.
Legal requirements
You acknowledge and agree that TGPS may disclose your personal information and the contents of your account if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect the rights and property of TGPS, its affiliates or the public.
Removal of your information
You may at anytime edit any information or remove your dog and personal accounts entirely. We require only that you provide and maintain a valid and current email address while you have an account so we may contact you.
We reserve the right to transfer your submitted information in the event of a transfer of ownership of TGPS, such as acquisition by or merger with another company. In such an event, we will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Cookies
We send “cookies” to your computer and use such cookies as described here. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service and make the service easier to use for our members. We do this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends – for example, we use cookies to allow you to automatically log in to the service after the first user session. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of TGPS may not function properly if you refuse cookies. There is a consensus among internet security experts that cookies do not represent a security or privacy risk to internet users.
External links
TGPS contains links to other web sites. These other sites maintain their own policies regarding cookies and the collection and use of personal information.
Security
We use industry standard security measures to protect your information so that it is not made available to unauthorized parties.
We take every precaution to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Whenever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data) that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job ( for example, billng or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

From time to time, we may update the Privacy Policy and we will post a notice of significant changes on the web site. You should visit this page periodically to review any such changes to the Privacy Policy.
