LindasLoveablePets.ca strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be
asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web
sites, LindasLoveablePets.ca also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that
may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use
cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store
your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may
control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to
provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may
be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we
collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with
similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
LindasLoveablePets.ca to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by LindasLoveablePets.ca and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
LindasLoveablePets.ca may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In
addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also
disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required
to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
LindasLoveablePets.ca expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and
data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part
of a frame on a LindasLoveablePets.ca page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through LindasLoveablePets.ca you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. LindasLoveablePets.ca is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to
gather information. LindasLoveablePets.ca does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the
resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and
can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of LindasLoveablePets.ca and this
policy.
Children
LindasLoveablePets.ca does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we
have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe LindasLoveablePets.ca has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact

at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting
of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is
posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
