Privacy Policy

We take your privacy very seriously. Please read the following to learn more about the privacy policies of MyPetCare.com and its owner Spare Time Media LLC (collectively, "My Pet Care").

What this Privacy Policy Covers

• This policy covers how My Pet Care treats personal information that My Pet Care collects and receives, including information related to your past use of our site and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
• This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that My Pet Care does not own or control, or to people that My Pet Care does not employ or manage.
• This document should be read together with our Terms & Conditions, and our Copyright Policy, both of which may be referred to in this document.

Information Collection and Use

General

• If you are merely a visitor to our site (a "Visitor"), we may collect personal information when you visit our pages.
• If you are a Visitor, we may receive and record information on server logs from your browser, including your IP address and "session cookie" information. What is known as a "session cookie" is placed on your computer for the duration of your visit. It's primary use is to optimize your time on the website - make pages load faster, optimize caching time, know which page was your previous page, so we can send you back there faster. It also sets your site status as a "visitor", which means there's certain pages you cannot access, including forum comment creation pages and membership pages, and the like. The cookie is disabled once you leave the website and close down your browser. The next time you visit us, you're completely anonymous again, and we put a new session cookie on your computer. This tool provides us with pertinent information - not about you, but about the numbers you represent - it counts the pages you visit, it counts the times someone from your IP (it could be you, it could be someone else on your ISP) visit the site, it counts the amount of kilobytes you're responsible for downloading from the site. It also looks to see what link you clicked to arrive at this site. (known as 'referrer'). One thing it doesn't do is personally identify you for our records - you are more or less "anonymous". Many websites use "cookies" to target specific ads your way, registered or not. Currently, we do not do that.
• Visitors are not required to register with us in order to view the publicly available portions of our website. However, registration with us will give you access to additional features not available to Visitors, such as the ability to post comments and messages, to engage in private messaging, to email fellow users, to post Event Information, and the like.
• If you register with us and become a member of the site (a "Member"), we may ask you for certain information such as your name, email address and personal interests. Once you register with My Pet Care, you are not anonymous to us. If you have signed up as a Member, we track the information listed above for Visitors, and may track additional information about you. We store information about you in a secure database. There are many reasons why we may collect and use this information, and (almost) none of them have to do for profit reasons:
  1. Database Data Collection: Members' information, including email addresses, username, password and other associated information entered into the site by you, either voluntary or required information, may be stored in our "site user" database. This database is highly secure.
  2. Database Usage: Our site user database is used within the My Pet Care website in many ways: to fill out your profile page should anyone click on your name in the forum or in a post, thread or discussion board comment; to identify you when you post a comment; to track what posts you've read, to track if you've voted in a poll (so you cannot vote twice); and other ways.
  3. Cookies: In addition to the way we use cookies for Visitors, we use your session cookie and permanent cookies based on what you have selected in your preferences. If you have selected "log me on automatically", we store a permanent cookie on your computer so the next time you access the website, you're logged on. We do not use cookies to get any kind of personal or private information from you, and your username and password are not stored on the cookie.
  4. Email addresses: Although we ask that you provide us with your email address, we will never disclose your email address on our website. No other Member or any Visitor will see your email address if they visit your Member Profile page. If you elect to receive email Visitors may (without seeing your email address) send you an email. If you reply to such message by email, you will be disclosing your email address to that Visitor. Likewise, if you opt to send an email to another member who has elected to receive email, to you will be disclosing your email address to that member. My Pet Care requires your email address for site activation (so that all accounts can be active), so that we may contact you if we need to notify you regarding your participation on the website or should questions arise or should you win one of our many planned contest giveaways, and so that we may improve our service to you, conduct research or offer you information which we believe we may be of value to you. We do not harvest, repackage, disseminate, reuse, or sell your private email address to anyone, and we work our hardest to keep it away from those who would abuse it.
  5. Advertiser Provided Information: We may provide advertisers with a wealth of information about our users, but none of it identifies who you are, and none of it is personal and confidential information about any specific person. We tell advertisers, upon request, the following information: how many total members the site has; how many views we have for (i) the site, (ii) for sections, or (iii) particular pages or topics; how many visitor sessions we have in a day, a week, a month, or a year; how many times their specific ads have been viewed and clicked; and from time to time, we let them know other site traffic numbers and information on a general basis.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

• My Pet Care does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
  • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
  • We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of My Pet Care's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
  • We transfer information about you if My Pet Care is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, My Pet Care will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• Our site and service is complicated. As such, it is possible that we may inadvertently make uses or disclosures of your information in ways not contemplated by, or in direct contravention of, this policy. No software is hack-proof; if it exists on the Internet, the best we can do is make it "hack resistant". In addition, although highly unlikely, it is possible for Internet transmissions containing your personal information to be intercepted by others. It is impossible for My Pet Care to ensure the privacy and security of all transmissions made to and from the site while in transit.
