Information we collect

 

1. Information you provide to us directly: Before using certain parts of this Site, creating an Account and/or ordering products, you must complete a registration form. When registering, you will be prompted to provide certain personal information including, but not limited to, your name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, email address,  credit card number and information about your pet(s). These kinds of personal information are used for billing purposes, to fulfill your orders, to communicate with you about your order and this Site, and for internal data modeling and marketing purposes. If we encounter a problem when processing your order, we will use the personal information to contact you.
2. Analytics information: We may employ third-party analytics tools and embedded scripts on the Site to help measure traffic and usage trends. These tools collect information sent by your device to the Site, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists in improving our services. This analytics information is collected and used with analytics information from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user. 
3. Cookies: Like most other websites, Side by Side Pet uses cookie technology throughout the Site. Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your web browser’s cache. They are not programs, and cannot harm your computer. Cookiesgenerally contain information that is associated with your web browser, such as website preferences, login information, or a user ID. Cookies are used to provide customers with tighter security, customized content, tracking of orders and shopping cart items.
4. Web Beacons: As well as cookies, we use other technologies to recognize and track visitors to our Site. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML email, typically in conjunction with a cookie.  Web beacons allows us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within our Site to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed, and to improve Site performance.

 

1. Log Information: When you access the Side by Side Pet website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. This log information is not linked to personal information unless you are an active customer with an Account, or have otherwise provided such information to us. Third parties may also use tracking technologies such as web beacons, images, scripts and cookies to track information in the aggregate on our Site for analytics purposes. Side by Side Pet does not control these third-party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies.

 

1. “Do Not Track” Browser Settings:  We do not use technology that recognizes a “do-not-track” signal from your web browser, because we do not track users other than for aggregate statistical purposes.
