Privacy
Policy
Published: May 1, 2007
Our Commitment
The German Shepherd by
Design and its owner, Rebecca Tsaros Dickson, recognize the
importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable
information collected about you, our customers and prospects. This
customer privacy policy is intended to balance our legitimate business
interests in collecting and using information against our users’
reasonable expectations of privacy.
User Information
In general, we gather
information about all of our users collectively, such as which areas users
visit most often and which services are accessed the most. We only use
such data in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is
most beneficial for our users, and how we can continually create a better
overall experience for our users. We may share this information with our
advertisers and collaborators, but only in the aggregate, so that they too
may understand how our users, collectively, use our site and our services.
Personal Information
In some instances, such as when
you sign up to use a service, purchase a product or submit feedback, we
may need more specific information about you, such as name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, type of computer,
etc. We may use that information to make you aware of additional products
and services which may be of interest to you, or to contact you regarding
site changes. We may also ask you for other information, such as your
likes and dislikes regarding the site, and your specific information
needs, in an effort to deliver to you the best possible site experience.
General Information
Disclosure
Unless stated otherwise, we
will use our best efforts not to disclose information about your
individual visits to our site, or your personal information, to any
outside parties unless otherwise required by law.
Third parties
We do not control the privacy
policies of our business collaborators, advertisers, sponsors or other
sites to which we provide links. Users of our site should also be aware
that, when personal information is voluntarily disclosed in chat areas or
bulletin boards on our site or any other Web site, that information may be
collected by others and may result in unauthorized or unsolicited
messages.
Feedback
We have several feedback forms
on our site. Any feedback that is submitted through these forms or through
e-mail remains our property. We may use this feedback for marketing
purposes, or to contact you for additional feedback.
Children
We do not specifically collect
information about children. We believe that children should get their
parents’ consent before giving out personal information. We further
believe that parents should participate, and guide their children’s
experience on this site.
Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post these changes here so that you will always
know what information we gather, how we might use that information and
whether we will disclose it to anyone. If, at any time, you have questions
or concerns about our privacy policy, please e-mail us at
