HomeoPet LLC respect your right to privacy and are committed to protecting your privacy and security. Our privacy policy sets out how we do this. We do not share your information with any third parties. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR? Visitors should be aware that each time they interact with our website two general levels of information about their visit can be retained. The first level comprises statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate and non-individual specific basis of all browsers who visit the site, and the second is information that is personal or particular to a specific visitor who knowingly chooses to provide that information. HomeoPet LLC’s policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our visitors and HP will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about its visitors to any third party. The statistical and analytical information provides us with general and not individually specific information about the number of people who visit this website; the number of people who return to this site; the pages that they visit; where they were before they came to this site and the page in the site at which they exited. This information helps us monitor traffic on our website so that we can manage the site’s capacity and efficiency. It also helps us to understand which parts of this site are most popular, and generally to assess user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site. This statistical and analytical information and data can be collected through the standard operation of our internet servers and logs as well as “cookies”. “Cookies” are small text files that a website can use in order to recognise visitors who revisit a site so as to facilitate their ongoing access to and use of the site. It enables usage behaviour to be tracked and aggregate data to be compiled that would facilitate more targeted advertising and improved content. Typically, cookies involve the assigning of a unique number to the visitor. Visitors should be aware that HomeoPet LLC is unable to control the use of cookies or the resulting information by other third parties such as advertisers or parties hosting data for HomeoPet LLC. One simple way to prevent the use of cookies it to activate the facility that is available in most web browsers that enable the user to deny or accept cookies. However, visitors should realise that certain cookies may be necessary in order to provide you with certain features such as the customised delivery of certain information. Throughout this website you may have an opportunity to send us information relating to you such as through the “contact us” pages or any other area where you may send e-mails, request brochures, enter contests or respond to any promotions. *By choosing to participate in these, you will be providing us with some level of personal information relating to you.

The table below sets out how we use your personal data and our lawful basis for doing so. We may process your personal data for more than one lawful basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using it. Importantly, we will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH? Importantly, we do not pass your personal data onto any third parties for them to market their products/services to you. If in the future we decide that we want to, we will only do so if we have your consent. We do however share your personal data with third parties to help us deliver our products and services to you in the most effective way possible. These include third parties who assist us with:

In addition to the above, we may also be required to share your personal data with third parties if required by law or regulation. In such circumstances, we will make sure that the disclosure is only to the extent required by law or regulation. HOW WE KEEP YOUR DATA SECURE? We adopt industry standard security processes to ensure your data is kept safe and secure and to prevent unauthorised access or use or loss of your data. By way of example, we use secure server software (EV SSL) which encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. We also make sure that third parties who need to handle your data when helping us to deliver our services are subject to suitable confidentiality and security standards. Despite the security measures we implement, please be aware that the transmission of data via the internet is not completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee that information transmitted to us via the internet will be completely secure and any transmission is at your own risk. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA FOR? We will keep your data for as long as you hold a HomeoPet account and/or where you are still happy to hear from us about our latest news, products and services. Once you no longer wish to be engaged with HomeoPet we may still need to keep hold of your data if there is a legal reason for doing so (such as for tax purposes where you have made purchases on our site or where we need to resolve any disputes with you).
