We  strive to adhere to the Self-Regulatory Principles of the Digital  Advertising Alliance, which establishes and enforces responsible privacy  practices for digital advertising. As such, our Privacy Policy also  includes our Interest-Based Ads Policy.

In  our Privacy Policy, “Cat N Around Rescue”, “we” and “our” mean Cat N Around Rescue and  its subsidiaries and affiliates, and “you” means any person who accesses  and uses our Services.

We  engage other companies to assist us in collecting and using information  related to you as described in this Privacy Policy (“Providers”). Where  we describe our collection and use practices in this Privacy Policy,  our Providers may be engaged in the same or similar collection and use  practices on our behalf.

By  accessing or using any of our Services, you consent to the collection,  use and disclosure of your information, including any information  previously collected by and for Cat N Around Rescue, as described in this  Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

We  collect various types of information about and related to you. In  general, we may collect and store “Personal Information” and  “Non-Personal Information”.

In this Privacy Policy, we refer to Personal Information and Non-Personal Information collected by us as “Customer Information”.

When  you use certain Services, we use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags,  social media widgets and other automated information collection and  tracking technologies to collect and store certain types of Non-Personal  Information ("Automatically Collected Information”).

We collect Customer Information related to you:

We  work with the following Providers who use tracking technologies to  provide services that analyze information regarding visits to our Site.  The information generated by these providers are subject to their  privacy policies. However, instructions for opting out of such tracking  are provided by each of our Providers:

• Google Analytics

You  have the ability to control the use of cookies and other automated  information collection and tracking technologies used for interest-based  advertising purposes by “opting out” of being tracked by such  technologies.

Please note:

If  you set your device to disable all cookies, certain Services cannot be  provided to you and you may not be able to take full advantage of all of  the features we offer on our Site and App.

Opting  out of tracking on one device, browser or app applies to that specific  device, browser or app. To opt out of tracking on other devices,  browsers or apps, you must opt out from those other devices, browsers or  apps specifically.

If you delete your cookies or upgrade your browser after having opted out of certain tracking, you may need to opt out again.

If  you opt-out of tracking by technologies used for interest-based  advertising purposes, you will not have opted out of all advertising.  You may still see our content, including advertisements, but they will  not be tailored specifically to you based on information collected  through these tracking technologies.

Some  automated information collection and tracking technologies are  necessary and vital to ensuring that we can fulfill your transactions  with us and to maintain the security, safety and integrity of our Sites  and Services. These technologies may still be enabled on our Site even  if you opt-out of tracking by similar technologies used for  interest-based advertising purposes.
If  you want to opt out of tracking by all of our Providers’ automated  information collection and tracking technologies used for interest-based  advertising purposes, you should take each of the steps below.

Manage  Cookies on Browsers. Most browsers are initially set up to accept  cookies. Your browser settings or other resources may provide  instructions on browser functionalities that allow you to manage cookies  (for example, instructions on how to set up your device to limit the  kinds of cookies that can be placed on your device, to notify you when a  cookie is issued or to not receive cookies at any time). Certain  options available to you are browser and device specific. Please note:

If  you reject or block cookies, not all of the tracking described in this  Privacy Policy will stop. Some additional action may be required to  opt-out of such tracking.

If  you opt-out of automated information collection and tracking  technologies used for interest-based advertising purposes, disabling all  or some cookies through your browsers or updating your browser after  you opted-out may override your opt-out election. Should this occur, you  will need to opt-out again.
Tracking  Technologies for Interest-Based Advertising. We work with Providers who  use their own automated information collection and tracking  technologies on our Site, App and Internet Marketing Platforms,  including our content delivered on other websites or mobile  applications. These companies may collect information about your  activity on our Site and App, your interactions with our advertising and  other communications and your interactions with other websites or  mobile applications. These companies may use this information to  determine which ads you see on third-party websites and mobile  applications. These technologies and the information collected about you  may also be used to track your activity across multiple devices. If you  do not wish to have this information used for the purpose of serving  you interest-based advertisements:

Some  of our Providers participate in self-regulatory programs for  interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative  (NAI) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). Each of these  programs provides an opt-out feature where you can choose not to receive  targeted advertising from any NAI member or DAA participant.

To opt-out of tracking by our Providers who are NAI members, please click HERE.

To opt-out of tracking by our Providers who are DAA participants, please click HERE.

Mobile  Tracking Technologies for Interest-Based Advertising. Most modern  mobile operating systems provide mobile advertising identifiers for  mobile devices. These identifiers are commonly used to help enable  digital advertising across mobile applications. Your mobile operating  system may allow you to limit use of mobile advertising identifiers for  interest-based advertising. For more information, please review the  instructions provided by your mobile device manufacturer or click HERE to visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s informational page on advertising choice mechanisms for mobile devices.

Click HERE to  learn about the Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app, a tool  for opting out of the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device  for interest-based advertising by participating service providers. You  may download the AppChoices app HERE for iOS devices and HERE for Android devices.

Our  Security Practices. We use a variety of administrative, contractual,  technical and physical controls and safeguards to help protect your  Customer Information from loss and unauthorized access, collection, use,  disclosure, copying, modification, destruction or similar risks.  However, no control or safeguard can completely guarantee that such  information is completely secure. As a matter of policy, we do not disclose details regarding our security measures as this could be  beneficial information to criminals and other bad actors.

Your Security Practices. You are also responsible for taking reasonable  steps to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized  disclosure or use.

We  encourage you to take steps to help protect the confidentiality and  security of your account and Personal Information, including by doing the following:

• Use complex passwords and not using the same password on more than one Site
• Password protect your computer and mobile device
• Do not share your passwords with others
• Sign out/log off Site sessions to close your session
• EMPTY YOUR CART, IF YOU DO NOT WANT REMINDERS ABOUT YOUR CART
  

You  may come into contact with emails, texts or mobile alerts that look  like they originate from us asking for your Personal Information. For  your protection, do not respond to such communications or click on links  or open any files attached to such suspicious, unsolicited  communications. If you receive such a communication, please email jody@CatNAroundRescue.org immediately so that we may investigate the suspicious activity.

We  provide our Services in the United States. Customer Information we  collect is primarily stored in the United States. If you live outside of  the United States or U.S. Territory, by using our Services, you  understand and agree that we may transfer your Personal Information to  and within the United States. Our Site is subject to U.S. laws, which  may not provide the same level of protections as those laws in your  country.

If  we offer you a link to connect to a third-party website, it is for your  convenience. Third-party websites linked to and from our Site, App and  Internet Marketing Platforms are not necessarily under our control and  we have no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any  such linked website or service. We recommend you read the privacy  policies of those parties to understand how your information is handled,  processed or shared. In addition, you may have visited our Site or App  through a link or banner advertisement on another website or mobile  application. In these cases, the website you linked from may collect  information from you if click on the link or banner advertisement. You  may want to refer to the privacy policies of the operators of those  websites or banner advertisements to understand how your information is  handled, processed or shared.

Some  browsers offer a “Do Not Track” privacy preference. Generally, when a  user turns on the Do Not Track Signal, the browser sends a message to  websites requesting them not to track the user. Our Site and Internet  Marketing Platforms currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.  However, you have other options for opting out of tracking for  interest-based advertising purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.

You  must be 13 years old or older to submit Personal Information to us,  including to register an account or place an order on the Site. Our Site  and other Services are intended for a general audience and are not  targeted to or intended for use by children. While we sell skincare  products for children, these products are intended to be purchased by  adults. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from persons  under the age of 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think  that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with Personal  Information, please contact us so that we can take steps to delete his  or her Personal Information.

If you would like to make  such a request please contact us.

Under  California’s Online Eraser Law, if you are a California resident who is  under 18 years old and are a registered user of our Site, you may  request and obtain removal of, content or information that you have  posted on our Site. A request to remove content or information posted by  you does not ensure or require complete or comprehensive removal of  such content or information from our databases (for example, content  that has been reposted by another user may not be removable). If you  would like to make such a request please contact us.

International  Customers. By using our Services, you consent to your Customer  Information collected by us or our third-party service providers to be  transferred outside your country of residence to countries or  jurisdictions where we or our affiliates may have business operations or  to engage third parties to provide services to us for the purposes  described in this Privacy Policy. Such countries may not have the same  level of data protection as within your country. If we do make such a  transfer, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure your  Customer Information is protected.

From  time to time, we may change our Privacy Policy and may apply any  changes to Customer Information previously collected, as permitted by  law. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically so that you are aware  of our current privacy practices. When we make material changes to our  privacy policies and practices, we will notify you by posting the  updated Privacy Policy on our website with an updated effective date at  the start of the Policy. However, when we make material changes to our  privacy policies and practices around interest-based advertising, we  will obtain your consent before applying such change to your data  collected before the change. If you do not provide such consent, data  collected before the material change will continue to be governed by the  policy in effect at the time the information was collected.

You  may come into contact with emails, texts or mobile alerts that look  like they originate from us asking for your Personal Information.
