Privacy & Security
Perfect Petzzz, Co. Privacy Policy
At CD3, Inc., we are committed to protecting your privacy. CD3, Inc. promises not
to sell or trade any consumer information to anyone. All information provided by
you, the consumer, to CD3, Inc. is considered confidential and for internal use
only.
PerfectPetzzz.com is committed to providing a fun, entertaining, and safe website
for people of all ages. We are dedicated to safeguarding any personal information
collected online and to helping parents and children learn how to exercise control
over personal information while exploring the Internet. To this end, we ensure that
our privacy policy and our information practices adhere to the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Safe Harbor Principles. Because many of the visitors to this site are
children, we take care that our content is suitable for children. In addition, we
take special measures to help children protect their privacy while online. For example,
we do not ask children to disclose more personal information than is necessary for
them to participate in a particular activity. To help ensure a rewarding online
experience for our visitors - and for the parents of our visitors who are children
- we provide you with this summary of our information practices.
As we continue to offer our visitors new and different types of content and services,
we may modify our practices from time to time. However, we will treat all personal
information we collect in accordance with the privacy notice in effect at the time
the information is collected.
I. The Information We Collect
At PerfectPetzzz.com, the only personally identifiable information we collect from
users 12 years old and younger is a valid e-mail address. And, we ONLY use this
information to send these users one message to activate their Perfect Petzzz account,
and then the e-mail address is completely removed from our system. We also ask users
12 years old and under for certain non-personally identifiable information, such
as birth date, gender, and State.
Perfect Petzzz, Co. requires users 13 years and older to provide a first and last
name, valid e-mail address, birth date, gender, and postal code. Although they have
the option to voluntarily enter additional information (such as home address, state
and country), it's not a requirement to activate their account. For some of our
on-line activities-such as polls or surveys-we may ask users to provide additional
information that is not personally identifiable, such as city or state of residence
or a visitor's favorite cartoon character.
When a child under 13 enters a contest, we will ask for a parent's e-mail address
so that we can notify the parent that we have received personal information from
the child. We do not knowingly collect names and e-mail addresses from children
under 13 without notifying the parent via e-mail and giving them the opportunity
to remove their child's name from the list of entries. Winners of our contests or
sweepstakes are notified by e-mail, and are required to send us by fax or regular
mail a form containing their street address. Winners who are minors must have the
form signed by a parent in order to receive their prizes.
Additionally, when visitors come to our site, we automatically collect some non-personally
identifiable "computer" information, such as the type of computer operating system
(e.g., Windows 95 or Mac OS), the user's "IP Address", the web browser (e.g., Netscape,
Internet Explorer) being used, and information regarding the Internet service provider.
II. How We Use the Information
We use visitors' personal information for our internal purposes of enabling visitors
to enter one of our on-line contests or sweepstakes, to inform users of upcoming
events and special announcements. We use the e-mail addresses of parents to notify
them when we have received information from their children and to give them the
opportunity to have their child's name removed from our lists. We use visitor's
personal information to track usage and to ensure users are following the site's
Terms and Conditions. Sometimes we will use agents or contractors to help us provide
services to our visitors, such as helping us conduct a sweepstakes and sending prizes
to the winners. In these cases, we require the agent or contractor to keep the information
confidential and to use it only for the specific services they are performing. In
addition, please review the section on Collection of Information by Third-Party
Sites and Sponsors for a description of the limited instance whereby personal information
collected on the site may be supplied to third parties with the consent of the user.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to
improve the design and content of our site, to personalize our visitors' experience
on PerfectPetzzz.com, and to offer products, programs, and services. We also may
use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer
products, programs, or services.
We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example,
in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information
in response to a law enforcement agency's request.
We will not use or transfer personally identifiable information in ways that are
materially different from the ones described above without also providing parental
notification of such practices and obtaining consent for any materially different
uses.
III. Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors
Our site contains links to other sites, including those of sponsors, advertisers
and survey companies, whose information practices may be different from ours. Sometimes
the other sites might conduct contests or sweepstakes that are promoted on PerfectPetzzz.com.
Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices, since those sites are
not covered by our privacy policy and may follow procedures that are different from
ours. Perfect Petzzz, Co. never gives a user's e-mail address or other registration
information to such third parties without permission, however, if you choose to
"opt-in" (click on a box to receive a third party's information), to register with
one of our sponsors, or not to "opt-out" (uncheck a checked box that will provide
a sponsor with your information), that means you have allowed Perfect Petzzz, Co.
to give your registration information and other collecting information, including
e-mail address, to that that third party.
When you subscribe to participate in PerfectPetzzz.com promotions, we use your standard
account information. If you would like to stop receiving promotions, updates and/or
special offers at any time, please complete this form.
IV. Cookies
PerfectPetzzz.comuses a software technology called "cookies." Cookies are small
text files that we and certain third parties place in visitors' computer browsers
to store their preferences. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally identifiable
information. Although cookies could enable us to relate a visitor's use of this
Web site to personal information that a visitor has provided, such as an e-mail
address, we do not use them for this purpose. We do use "cookies" to determine how
many visitors we have and how often they visit various sections of our site. To
search our website and/or place an order from the PerfectPetzzz.com website, you
need to have the cookies feature of your web browser turned on. However, if you
choose to disable the cookies feature of your web browser, you may not be able to
place an order or otherwise use some or all of the PerfectPetzzz.com website.
V. Security
PerfectPetzzz.com shall protect the security of your personal information and credit
card detail when you shop with us online using the security protections described
below. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology - the industry standard - to
encrypt the personal information and credit card detail you provide during the order
process.
To ensure the security of your personal information, you should always provide that
information over a secure connection. You can check the existence of a secure connection
in one of two ways:
- Look at the URL in your web browser. Whenever you are connected to a secure server,
that connection will be represented in the URL as "https," rather than "http."
- Look at the lower left-hand corner of your web browser. You know you have an SSL
connection if you see an unbroken key in Netscape Navigator (versions 2.0 and above),
or a closed lock in Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 3.0 and above) or AOL (AOL
3.0 and above).
While PerfectPetzzz.com makes every effort to ensure the integrity and security
of its network and systems, PerfectPetzzz.com cannot guarantee that its security
measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.
