When we do, we will also revise the “last updated” date at the top of this policy; which is part of, and governed by, the Fat-Cat Fish LLC Website Terms of Use.
Any personal information you share with Fat-Cat Fish is kept absolutely private. Neither your name or anything about you is sold or shared with any other company or agency. Occasionally, we like to contact our customers to make folks aware of upcoming products or specials. However, we respect your right to privacy and will not send notices if you contact us and ask us not to.
Fat-Cat Fish is strongly committed to protecting privacy of its customers and visitors. This policy describes what information we collect from customers and how we use that information once collected.
Request for Customer Data
We require customers to fill out a registration form prior to allowing you to make purchases through our web site. We ask for information such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. When you submit your registration form, this information travels via the Internet and is stored for future reference when you return to shop again.
Web Server Cookies and Log Files
Fat-Cat Fish uses cookies to identify different types of site users. A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent by our web server, stored on your PC’s hard drive, and used by your web browser. Fat-Cat Fish uses cookies to identify the type of customer using our site. If you disable cookies you may not be able to use portions of the Fat-Cat Fish site.
Like most standard web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to enable our web based service.
Customer Data Protection
We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Server Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts any information you give to us. We do not sell information about you with third parties. However, Fat-Cat Fish may reveal customer data to third parties including our affiliates, sales representatives and business partners that may require information to invoice for a product purchased through the Fat-Cat Fish web site. Additionally, we use an affiliate and/or an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purpose.
We use customer data for these primary purposes:
- To help you quickly find products, services, or information
- To customize your shopping experience
- To improve our services to you, including communicating with you about your pets’ needs
- To help us create Web site content most relevant to you
- To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information, and other new services from Fat-Cat Fish LLC
- To complete purchases
Fat-Cat Fish will disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Fat-Cat Fish on the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Fat-Cat Fish, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Fat-Cat Fish web site or the public.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the unlikely event that Fat-Cat Fish or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
Email/Newsletter Policy
When you place an order with us, you are automatically included in our newsletter and special offers mailings and e-mailings. Fat-Cat Fish periodically uses email to send newsletters, notify customers of current promotions, and to send updates about services and products offered by us. We use the email addresses you provide during registration or otherwise for these purposes. Customers and web site users can indicate whether or not they wish to receive email messages from us. If you do not wish to receive information regarding Fat-Cat Fish products, services, and promotions, let us know and we’ll discontinue sending you our newsletter and email marketing messages. You will continue to receive order confirmation email and other correspondence that relates to quotes or orders you have placed with Fat-Cat Fish.
Children’s Privacy (under the age of 13)
We take children’s privacy seriously. We do not seek to collect personal information about children through our site. If we become aware that a person submitting information to us through any part of our site is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties. Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, we will of course honor that request.
