affiliates ("Happy Dogs Daycare" or "we")
respect your preferences concerning the
collection and use of your personal information
("data"). Our goal is to deliver content
targeted to the industry you work in, the
products you use, the role you play in your
organization, and your specific preferences. In
order to provide you with relevant information,
fulfill your specific requests, and enhance your
experience across our Web site, we will at times
request data from you. This policy lets you know
how we collect data, why we collect it, and what
choices you have concerning its use.
This is the privacy policy for the
Happy Dogs Daycare.com Web site. This policy
describes the broadest potential use of data
throughout the Happy Dogs Daycare.com Web
site. Parts of the sites may make far less use
of data than we have outlined in the policy.
Please note that Happy Dogs Daycare maintains
the same privacy practices described in this
policy for data we collect off-line;
accordingly, references below to Web site
"users" also apply to individuals from whom we
collect data off-line.
Safe Harbor: We are an Indiana sole
proprietorship, with operations based in Fort
Wayne, Indiana, and we have developed data

Outsourcing, Support and Consulting Services.
Happy Dogs Daycare provides a separate policy
providing more detail about how we manage data
we may access as part of our services ("Hosted
Services"). Hosted Services data does not
include our direct customer information, but
rather the data that we may access related to
our customers' customers, employees, and
partners as part of our Hosted Services. A link
to our Hosted Services privacy policy can be
found at the end of this policy.
Third-Party Web Sites: Happy Dogs Daycare
also provides links to non-Happy Dogs Daycare
sites we believe may be of interest to you.
These sites are provided as a convenience and
are beyond our control. You are advised to check
the privacy policies and terms of use of those
sites before providing your personal data to
them. To learn more about
Happy Dogs Daycare's privacy policy, review
the sections below for information pertaining
to:
Types of Data Collection: Happy Dogs Daycare
collects data related to our users through the
following methods:
* Automated means such as communications
protocols and cookies
* Registration screens and online forms
* Sales inquiries and transactions
* Customer communications
* Offline communications and interactions
* Third party sources of information, such
as opt in lists.
Depending upon the method of collection and use,
the data collected may include information about
the user from forms, registrations and
transactions (such as name, title, address,
company, phone number and e-mail address),
financial/transaction information (such as
credit card and payment information),
information about use of Happy Dogs Daycare
web sites (such as electronic communications
protocols, web pages visited and cookies) and
user preferences (including product
requirements, areas of industry interest,
newsletters, community choices and other
information managed from the customer profile
that is created when registering on
Happy Dogs Daycare.com).
Electronic Communications Protocols and Cookies:
Happy Dogs Daycare may receive data from you
as part of the communication connection itself,
that is, the standard electronic greeting
between your computer and our servers. This
information often consists of network routing
(where you came from), equipment information
(browser type), date and time. At this time our
server will also query your computer to see if
there are "cookies" previously set by
Happy Dogs Daycare.com to facilitate log in
or other site navigation procedures. A "cookie"
is a small piece of information sent by a Web
server to store on a Web browser so it can later
be read back from that browser.
Cookies: Some parts of the Happy Dogs Daycare
site use cookies to collect information about
visitors' use of the Web site and to facilitate
return visits. The information collected from
cookies is tracked to enhance security and/or to
improve the functionality of the Web site by
avoiding duplicate data entry, facilitating
navigation, and increasing the relevance of
content. Cookies on the site may collect the
following information: a unique identifier, user
preferences and profile information used to
personalize the content that is shown, and
membership information to access
Happy Dogs Daycare's online communities.
Cookies on the site, and the associated data,
may be used for the purposes stated in Section 3
below. Some cookies used by
Happy Dogs Daycare.com may remain on the
user's computer after they leave the Web site,
but the majority is set to expire within 30 -
365 days. (As discussed in more detail below,
you can set your browser to alert you to cookies
being placed, in which case a prompt screen will
describe information about the cookie, its
duration, and the server to which it is being
returned.) There may be some cookies on certain
tools that are of longer duration. Cookies may
also be of benefit to you by creating a more
streamlined login process, keeping track of
shopping cart additions and preserving order
information between sessions. In the future, as
we enable further customization of the site,
cookies will help in assuring that information
provided to you will be the most relevant to
your needs.
While we do not offer an opt-out on the site for
cookies, browsers provide you with information
and control over cookies. You can set your Web
browser to alert you when a cookie is being
used. You can also get information on the
duration of the cookie and what server your data
is being returned to. You then have the
opportunity to accept or reject the cookie.
Additionally, you can set your browser to refuse
all cookies or accept only cookies returned to
the originating servers. Users can generally
disable the cookie feature on their browser
without affecting their ability to use the site,
except in some cases where cookies are used as
an essential security feature necessary for
transaction completion.
Embedded URLs: In order to provide maximum site
utility, Happy Dogs Daycare also uses a
tracking technique that uses embedded URLs to
allow use of the site without cookies. Embedded
URLs manifest themselves as plain text or
encoded extensions to the URL that appears in
the browser address or location toolbar. This
technology allows limited information to follow
you as you navigate the site, but is not
identified to personal data and is not used
beyond the session. While this increases your
ability to surf the site, it does not replace
the functionality or streamlining of cookies and
may limit your use of many convenience features
offered by the site.
Embedded Pixels: In an effort to provide users
with the most relevant Web site content and
marketing materials, we may also use embedded
pixel technologies to help track site usage and
marketing campaign responsiveness. On the Web
site, these technologies are used on selected
pages for the purposes of identifying unique
user visits as opposed to aggregate hits. The
site usage information collected by these
technologies is associated with cookies and may
provide data about site use by registered users
of www.Happy Dogs Daycare.com Web sites. This
information is used to evaluate site content,
navigability and composition as well as page
response rates. When these technologies are used
in emails, they provide information on when the
email was opened.
The Data We Collect and How We Use It
As a result of your site navigation. Data may be
collected to help personalize Web site content
and enable navigation that is most relevant and
user friendly.
As a result of creating an
Happy Dogs Daycare.com account and filling
out forms. Data provided by you during these
processes may be used to target future marketing
communications that meet your needs and
requirements, personalize Web site content and
enable navigation that is most relevant and user
friendly.
As a result of your joining an
Happy Dogs Daycare community, such becoming a
client and authorizing the distribution of
marketing materials. Information collected
during this process may be used to provide
relevant product alerts and updates. These
updates are related to product releases, prices,
terms, special offers and associated marketing
campaigns. This data is sent out as part of the
program member signing up for the relevant
program or online account.
As a result of your inquiry or request for
information. Data collected as a result of your
inquiry, registration for newsletters, response
to marketing campaigns and other such activities
may be used to respond to your inquiry, provide
information requested and target future
marketing communications.
As a result of your seeking service or support.
Information collected during this process can
include contact data and information related to
products and service/support requested. This
information may be used to provide requested
services, product updates and similar notices.
Happy Dogs Daycare will pass collected
information to the appropriate
Happy Dogs Daycare sales person, distributor,
reseller, or consultant for follow-up related to
Happy Dogs Daycare products or services.
Happy Dogs Daycare may also ask if you wish
to have your contact information shared with
other selected partners that offer complementary
products or services related to your inquiry. If
you agree, data is provided to those partners
for purpose of responding to your request for
service or information. Please review the
privacy policy of the specific partner regarding
any further interactions with that partner.
As a result of product download. Product
downloads rely on the contact information
collected as part of the registration process.
Further information may be obtained from users
concerning experiences related to download and
use of programs whether by trial licenses or
purchase. Information may be used to confirm
order information and for follow-up, marketing,
and sales purposes.
As a result of your engagement in transactions
or communications. Information may be collected
and stored as part of the transaction history.
The majority of the data collected under this
category is business contact information.
Happy Dogs Daycare may need to share some of
this data (address, payment) with delivery
services, credit card clearing houses and other
similarly situated third parties that are
required to accomplish the transaction.
As a result of your participation in
co-sponsored events or events hosted by
partners. We occasionally co-sponsor events with
partners or present at partner events that
provide services of potential benefit to
Happy Dogs Daycare users. To help assure
respect of your information, we maintain control
of the data we collect or limit the use of the
data by these partners.
As a result of your participation in joint sales
or joint product promotions.
Happy Dogs Daycare and its partners may
engage in joint events or provide bundled
products. Such promotions will always reference
the partners involved. Both
Happy Dogs Daycare and the partner(s) will
have access to that information. We recommend
you review the privacy policies of these
partners to address your particular needs and
concerns.
As a result of referral/"tell a friend"
functions. If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our site,
we ask them for the friend's name and email
address. Happy Dogs Daycare will
automatically send the friend a one-time email
inviting them to visit the site.
Happy Dogs Daycare uses this data for the
sole purpose of sending this one-time email and
tracking the success of our referral program.
The friend may contact Happy Dogs Daycare at
privacy@Happy Dogs Daycare.com to be removed
from the referral program.
As a result of your registration for/attendance
at an Happy Dogs Daycare conference or event.
Those existing customers or registered
Happy Dogs Daycare.com users who sign up for
a conference or event may be contacted prior to
the event to see if any meetings, special
demonstrations or other customer facilitation
may be provided. This contact is in addition to
any contact that may be required to confirm
payment or provide logistical information and
updates related to the conference. Attendees of
such events may also be contacted after the
event to see if any further information is
required or follow up is appropriate. This
information will be used only by
Happy Dogs Daycare, designated partners or
conference sponsors and will not be released to
other third parties. To help assure respect of
your data, we maintain control of the data and
require that use of the data by these partners
is limited to that which is expressly relevant
to your profile. Please consult the supplemental
privacy statement on the specific conference
site for more detailed information.
As a result of your participation in interactive
discussions and public forums. There are parts
of the Web site that permit you to participate
in interactive discussions. Some of these are
moderated; all are subject to access for
technical reasons. Happy Dogs Daycare does
not control the content that users post and some
may serve as public discussion forums. As in any
interactive forum open to many users, you should
carefully consider whether you wish to submit
data and should tailor any other content
submitted appropriately.
To address performance and fix issues. On
occasion, patches and other fixes to software,
such as security patches addressing newly
discovered vulnerabilities, are developed by
Happy Dogs Daycare. We may communicate the
availability of these patches or fixes to
registered owners of software and parties who
have identified themselves to us as users or
developers.
As a result of legal requirements.
Happy Dogs Daycare may be required to provide
data to comply with legally mandated reporting,
disclosure or other legal process requirements.
Customization, Preferences and Opt-Out
Establishing an online registration profile at
Happy Dogs Daycare.com allows visitors the
ability to opt in (or out) of communities and
provides them with control over their
preferences for electronic information delivery.
Please note that some non-marketing
communications are not subject to general
opt-out. These include communications related to
product download; communications about sales
transactions; information about software
updates, patches and fixes; disclosures to
comply with legal requirements; and
communications with partners about product
alerts and updates.
Information-Sharing Choices.
Happy Dogs Daycare only shares data with
selected companies after providing users the
ability to either opt out of or opt into the
sharing. There are limitations to opting out in
the case of (1) joint sale or joint events where
the data goes to both Happy Dogs Daycare and
the other party at the same time; (2) where the
customer has requested follow up which involves
Happy Dogs Daycare partners; and (3) where
third parties are required to accomplish the
transaction, including delivery and credit card
clearing services. There may also be some cases
where data is shared with third parties as a
necessary function of the service, for example,
posting comments to a bulletin board or posting
an opportunity to an exchange, where data is
available to all users. Other examples include
attendance at educational or conference events
where third parties and Happy Dogs Daycare
partners may be involved in providing services
or sponsorship of a conference, seminar,
training session, or event. As we further
develop our preference tools, we will endeavor
to have our partners join in their use to
provide the user with a more seamless and
streamlined environment.
Third Party Permission-Based Lists. On occasion,
Happy Dogs Daycare may use a third party
permission-based list to send communications
about Happy Dogs Daycare products and
services. These are lists maintained by third
parties whose users have consented to receive
emails from other companies, such as
Happy Dogs Daycare. We do not have access to
the names and contact information on these
lists; the third party that has the direct
relationship with these users maintains the list
and the opt-outs, removes, and unsubscribes. We
require the list owners to identify themselves
as the mailers of the email and to provide
appropriate opt-out mechanisms. If you wish to
be removed from a third-party list, you should
direct your opt-out request to the list owner,
not to Happy Dogs Daycare.
Please contact us at privacy@Happy Dogs Daycare.com
if you believe you have mistakenly received
information after opting out or if you would
like to opt out of receiving information and
have been unable to use the opt-out mechanisms
provided.
Advertising
Happy Dogs Daycare uses some third parties to
administer a limited set of
Happy Dogs Daycare advertisements on its Web
sites. No data is provided to the advertisers as
part of this process, but aggregate profile
information, such as user community, may be used
in the selection of advertising to make sure
that it has relevance to the user. On some
banner ads, an embedded pixel may be present,
and while it does not associate with a cookie or
other personal profile information, it may
return session connection information that
allows advertisers to better determine how many
individual users have clicked on the ad banner.
Security
Happy Dogs Daycare is concerned with the
security of the data we have collected and has
in place reasonable measures to prevent
unauthorized access to that information. These
measures include policies, procedures, and
technical elements relating to data access
controls. In addition, Happy Dogs Daycare
uses standard security protocols and mechanisms
to exchange the transmission of sensitive data
such as credit card details.
In the event that individual personal data is
acquired, or is reasonably believed to have been
acquired, by an unauthorized person and
applicable law requires notification,
Happy Dogs Daycare will notify the affected
individual of the breach by email or fax or, if
Happy Dogs Daycare is unable to contact the
individual by email or fax, then by U.S. mail.
Notice will be given promptly, consistent with
the legitimate needs of law enforcement and any
measures necessary for Happy Dogs Daycare or
law enforcement to determine the scope of the
breach and to assure or restore the integrity of
the data system. Happy Dogs Daycare may delay
notification if Happy Dogs Daycare or a law
enforcement agency determines that the
notification will impede a criminal
investigation, unless and until
Happy Dogs Daycare or the agency determines
that notification will not compromise the
investigation.
Compliance Issues
Should you believe your data has been used in a
way that is not consistent with this policy or
your stated preferences, or should you have
further questions related to this policy, please
contact us by email at privacy@Happy Dogs Daycare.com.

Policy Updates
If we are going to use your data in a manner
different from that stated at the time of
collection, we will notify you via email. You
will have a choice as to whether or not we use
your data in this different manner. In addition,
if we make any material changes in our privacy
practices that do not affect user data already
stored in our database, we will notify you by
email or post a prominent notice on this Web
site notifying users of the change. In some
cases where we post the notice we will also
email users who have opted to receive
communications from us, notifying them of the
changes in our privacy practices.
We may update this policy from time to time to
describe how new site features affect our use of
your data and to let you know of new control and
preference features that we provide you.
