Introduction
PetBoogaloo respects each individual's right to personal privacy. We will collect and use information through our website only in the ways disclosed in this statement. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others except as explained in this statement.
Part I. Information Collection and Usage
PetBoogaloo collects information through our website at several points.
Registrations: In order to use certain parts of this website, users may be asked to first complete a form. During registration, users may be asked to give their contact information (such as name, mailing address, email address). This information is used only to contact the user about the services which they have expressed interest.
Purchases: PetBoogaloo requests information from the users during online purchases of goods or services. Users must provide information (like name and shipping address, credit card or other billing information). This information is used for billing purposes, filling orders, and to stay in touch with the user. All information for online purchases is done through a secure server so that information remains confidential.
Surveys and Contests: From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Cookies: Cookies are pieces of data sent to user's computers when they visit a website to make their visit to the site easier or more interesting. For instance, by receiving a cookie from our site, the user might not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on the computer. Cookies also enable PetBoogaloo to track usage patterns and deliver customized content to users. PetBoogaloo also offers an affiliate program, and cookies allow us to track for our affiliates if a purchase has been made through a referral from their site. Affiliates will know when a sale is made, but they are given no additional information (such as name, email address, billing information, etc.). If a user rejects a cookie, they may still use our site, but their use may be limited in some areas.
Log Files: Like most websites, PetBoogaloo uses IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site movement through the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing: PetBoogaloo may use outside companies for such things as shipping, order fulfillment or credit card processing. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
If PetBoogaloo cooperates with another party to provide specific services, we may share names, or other contact information with the third party for users who request such services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing requested services.
Links: PetBoogaloo may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that PetBoogaloo is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the PetBoogaloo website.
Blogs Chatrooms and messageboards: Our Web site offers blogs, chats and message boards. Please be advised that information posted in these venues becomes public knowledge.

Part lll. Data Storage and Security
PetBoogaloo takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline using industry standard systems.
While PetBoogaloo strives to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. All of our users' sensitive information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All PetBoogaloo employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
