TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Your privacy and security are important to us. Because we gather certain types of information about Save U.S. Pets Foundation (“Save U.S. Pets") users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to lifesavingcare@saveuspets.org. We amend this policy at any time by sending the amended policy to any email address you provide to us, or by posting the amended version on our home page. Under no circumstances, however, would we change our privacy policy in a way that would allow us to distribute your personal information to third persons without your approval. NOTE: Save U.S. Pets cannot accept information from individuals who are under 18 years of age without first obtaining express parental consent.

1. Capture and Use of Information.

Registration
If you participate in interactive activities (event registration, message boards, membership program, etc.) on Save U.S. Pets, you may be asked to register for a free ID and password and/or to provide information on event-registration forms. Unique identifiers, such as IDs and passwords, are collected to verify your identity and for use as account numbers in our record system. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary for customer service reasons. Financial information that is collected is used only to bill you for products and services that you specifically request.

IP Address
We may use your IP address to identify you and your shopping cart, to administer our Web site and to assist in diagnosing problems with our server.

2. Additional Uses of Information

All of the information we collect, both what you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies, is used to personalize your account, to customize our services and to allow our customer service representatives to contact you when necessary. Save U.S. Pets may use information collected from you to tell you about programs or products that may be of interest to you. It is Save U.S. Pets' policy not to distribute to third parties any personally identifying information about you without your consent (usually communicated through an automatic “opt-in” mechanism from which you can choose to "opt out"). In many cases, information will be released only on an aggregated basis (meaning that the information from many Save U.S. Pets users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user). In other cases, we may use contact information that you provide to send you information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners.

Special Note #1 for Users Accessing Save U.S. Pets within a Frame

Save U.S. Pets has partnered with various web sites ("Framing Sites"), allowing users of those Framing Sites to register for events and to otherwise use the Save U.S. Pets services within a frame and without leaving the Framing Site. In some cases, Save U.S. Pets has agreed to provide to the Framing Site personal information collected from people who make use of the Save U.S. Pets services from the Framing Site (that is, within a frame and without leaving the Framing Site). In these cases, please be aware that the Framing Site operates independently from, and may have privacy and security policies wholly different from, Save U.S. Pets. If you wish to make use of the Save U.S. Pets services, but do not wish to have your information shared with third parties, please access our services directly, and not from a Framing Site.

Special Note #2 for Fulfillment Partners

In some cases, a third party with whom we have contracted may need to coordinate, facilitate, or perform a service for us (e.g., fulfill orders or other similar activities). In these cases, Save U.S. Pets will provide personal information to the third party. Each such third party operates independently from, and may have privacy and security policies wholly different from, Save U.S. Pets. Save U.S. Pets bears no responsibility for the activities of any third party to whom Save U.S. Pets may provide fulfillment information.

3. General Privacy Information.

You, the donor, acknowledge that all information furnished by you under this donor agreement shall be held by Save U.S. Pets in strict confidence and shall never be reproduced, revealed or made accessible in whole or in part, in any manner whatsoever,
to any other persons unless required by law, or unless Save U.S. Pets first obtains your express and written consent. Save U.S. Pets further agrees that any and all donor information will be requested only for the exclusive use of Save U.S. Pets, and that Save U.S. Pets certifies that any and all inquiries will be made only for such donation and
related purposes.

The Save U.S. Pets web site contains links to partners, advertisers and third party Internet sites and services that may collect data in connection with registrations, promotions, e-commerce, etc. Save U.S. Pets is also linked to by, and in some cases framed by, certain partner web sites. Each of the web sites (linked from Save U.S. Pets, or linking to Save U.S. Pets) have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Save U.S. Pets, and Save U.S. Pets has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

4. Security.

Save U.S. Pets, through its website hosting vendors, GoDaddy and The Active Network, maintains reasonable security procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personally identifiable information. The vendors use a variety of industry-standard security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. For example, credit card numbers are encrypted in the Active Network secure database, which is located behind a firewall. Personal information and such encrypted credit card numbers collected on Save U.S. Pets are stored in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public. All credit card and registration information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. The Active Network’s technology department conducts frequent site-security audits. "Perfect security," however, does not exist on the Internet. Although your privacy is very important to us, due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, Save U.S. Pets will disclose personal information about an individual user if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law or valid legal process.

5. Protecting Yourself.

You, the donor, agree that Save U.S. Pets will not be liable for consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. You also agree that Save U.S. Pets’ aggregate liability, if any, for any and all losses or injuries to you arising out of any acts or omissions of Save U.S. Pets in connection with anything to be done or furnished resulting from this donor agreement, regardless of the cause of the loss or injury and regardless of the nature of the legal or equitable right claimed to have been violated, shall never exceed the amount paid by you in your donation under and pursuant to this donor agreement."
