Green Paw (Green Paw, LLC) respects your right to the privacy of the personal information you provide us on our sites. Unless you designate otherwise or we state otherwise in this policy or at the time information is collected, any personal information you provide will not be known to any other party except you and Green Paw. This policy is intended to explain how your personal information is collected and how it will be treated.

I. TRAFFIC DATA
Each time a visitor comes to a Green Paw site, our servers collect some basic technical information, including the visitor's domain name, referral data and browser and platform type. We also track the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites. We may merge information about visitors and visits into group data, which may be shared on an aggregate basis with our advertisers.

However, we will not disclose your individual identity or personally identifiable data to any party. When we do present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.

II. COOKIES
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in a very limited manner, primarily to help deliver advertisements so that you won't receive the same advertisement too many times. We use cookies to identify unique browsers that visit us and to track site navigation. Cookies are also used on our shopping site to make the ordering process more convenient for visitors. They are also used with our online polls to ensure accurate results by allowing only one vote per computer on the current questions.

Other sites that place advertisements on our site, or which we may provide a link referencing an article that is available to view on Green Paw, also have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process that Green Paw does not control.

Cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only machines. Thus advertisers will not know who a visitor is, nor will they have any personally identifiable information about a visitor.

III. ONLINE STORE
Green Paw operates an online store. In processing orders, we may collect certain personal information for the purpose of fulfilling these orders. We will save this information as necessary to keep responsible records and handle complaints. We do not share this information with any telemarketing firms. Your phone number is needed only for credit card verification purposes and issues of customer service related to purchases.

CHANGING USER INFORMATION
To make changes to or delete your Green Paw account, please email us at
info@greenpaw.com.

IV. PROMOTIONS
Occasionally, Green Paw may sponsor contests or other events that require the collection, processing and storage of individual contact and demographic information (e.g., your age and state of residence) to be used for the event. Green Paw may also co-sponsor these events with other companies, whereby the user's individual contact and demographic information is likely to be shared with these other participating sponsors. A registrant's personal contact and demographic information will not be disclosed to third-party or nonparticipating organizations without the user's prior consent and Green Paw will request that co-sponsors of such events uphold the privacy of the registrant's information.

V. SURVEYS
Green Paw may from time to time conduct voluntary surveys of visitors to the site to obtain aggregate demographic information about them. Such information may be compiled and shared in the aggregate with advertisers and other third parties, but no personal details will be traceable or associated with specific individuals.

VI. EMAIL A FRIEND
Visitors may use our "Email a Friend" service available on each story and column. Green Paw will automatically send the friend an email version of the page requested with the email address provided. Green Paw does not store this information after the email has been sent.

VII. OTHER DISCLOSURE
Green Paw will not otherwise use or disclose your personal information without your consent except (1) as described in this Privacy Policy, or (2) as required by law, court order or as requested by other government or law-enforcement authority. This policy does not protect information you post to any online bulletin board, chat room, newsgroup or other public forum within or outside our sites.

VIII. UNSUBSCRIBE AND DATA REMOVAL POLICIES
To unsubscribe, please login to your personal profile and use our on-line tools to “opt-out” of any subscriptions or information you choose not to receive.

IX. OTHER SITES
Green Paw contains many links to other websites. We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these linked sites.

X. FURTHER QUESTIONS
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact
privacy@greenpaw.com.

XI. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement on the homepage as well as other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we plan to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a notice on our website notifying users of the change. In some case where we post a notice we will also email users, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
