TerrificPets.com, or any successor to that entity (“OffLeashMedia Inc.” or “OffLeashMedia”), is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. TerrificPets.com collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to use some of the services of this
website, a user must first complete the User Sign-up
form. During registration a user is required to
give their contact information (such as name and
email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which
they have expressed interest. Please note that
the owner's email address and contact phone number
will be displayed to our users.
Cookies
Some of our pages require use of cookies on our
site (for example, User Panel). These cookies
are for identification only.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user's movement, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information
with our partners and advertisers. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
We use 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 purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we TERRIFICPET.COM are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected
by this Web site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect
our users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to
enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such
as PayPal order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user-information off-line. All
of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return,
they must re-enter their password to re-gain access
to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time
new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place
on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to dogs@terrificpets.com.

harming any advertiser or staff member takes place: IP address, Email, ISP Information, Name, City, State, Country and Zip.

changes (such as your phone number or zip code),
