What This Privacy Policy Covers

This privacy policy covers the use of the web site located at www.seattledogspot.com and the services provided by Seattle DogSpot LLC. (the "Site"), including how the Site treats personal information that it collects and receives. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that the website does not own or control, or individuals that the website does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

When you register to become a member of Seattle DogSpot, we collect your user name and email address. This Personal Information may be used by Seattle DogSpot to keep you up to date on news and events through our newsletter and where necessary send notice to you regarding these terms and conditions. . Your name and email will never be shared, rented, bartered or sold to other users or third-party companies.

We also collect "General Information," such as your zip code, pet name, breed and age, and individual preferences, when you register, and when you administer and personalize your account. General Information, unless combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) is non-identifying and is used only for data collection and to better provide services to you.

In order to provide the best possible service and detect/correct site errors, we collect aggregate information about use of the site (such as which pages are most often viewed) and we collect information about your computer, such as browser type, browser language, and IP address. We will not share this information with anyone.

The Site, however, is accessible by anyone with an internet connection and a web browser, which means that any words and photos you post can be copied by any other internet user. That is the nature of the internet and though we discourage anyone from abusing that option, it is something that must be noted and for which we cannot take responsibility.
