PetChatz is a multinational organization, with legal entities, business processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross borders. PetChatz may share your personal information within the PetChatz corporate organization and may transfer the information to countries in the world where PetChatz conducts business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for customer personal information. In such countries PetChatz will still handle customer personal information in the manner describe herein.

(b) Mergers and Acquisitions.

Circumstances may arise where for business reasons, PetChatz decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its businesses in the United States or some other country. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal identifying information to prospective or actual purchasers, and/or receiving such information from sellers. It is PetChatz practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

(c) Agents.

PetChatz employs or engages other companies and individuals to perform business functions on behalf of PetChatz. These persons may be provided with personal identifying information required to perform their functions, but are prohibited by contract from using the information for other purposes. These persons engage in a variety of functions which include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer services.

(d) Affiliated Businesses.

PetChatz works closely with affiliated businesses operating website stores, providing services or selling products on each other’s websites. These businesses identify themselves to customers. Customer information related to a transaction with an affiliated business is shared with that affiliated business.

(f) Disclosure to Governmental Authorities.

Under certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to a judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants or orders.

5. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies

(a) No Tracking of Personal Information.

PetChatz.com is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through web site access logs PetChatz does collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties.

(b) Use of Cookies.

PetChatz, or its third party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including “cookies”. A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a Web site can transfer to customer’s hard drive through customer’s browser. The cookie is then stored on customer’s computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer’s computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by PetChatz or its third party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some websites may not then work properly.

(c) Use of Web Beacon Technologies.

PetChatz may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor PetChatz.com to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of PetChatz.com, a nonidentifiable

notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by PetChatz or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer’s visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.

(d) Collection of Non-Identifiable Information.

PetChatz may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to PetChatz.com in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on PetChatz.com; Website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” PetChatz or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.

(e) Collection of Personal Information.

PetChatz collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. PetChatz may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other nonidentifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help PetChatz understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.

6. Information Security

(a) Commitment to Online Security.

PetChatz employs physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Billing and payment data is encrypted whenever transmitted or received online. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online requests or complaints. All PetChatz agents and contractors with access to personal information on PetChatz.com are also bound to adhere to this policy.

(b) No Liability for Acts of Third Parties.

PetChatz will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, PetChatz shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of PetChatz including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of PetChatz staff and/or third parties.
