Last Updated:  May 7, 2019

Your privacy is very important to us. The operation of this website involves the collection and use of information about you. This privacy policy explains the type of information we collect and how we use the information.  By accessing, viewing, or using our website in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy.

You can visit this website without identifying who you are or revealing personal information. We may collect anonymous and/or personally identifiable information. Anonymous information cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual. Personal information specifically identifies a particular user, such as name, address, or phone number. Anonymous information may include the number of visits to a particular page, but does not identify the name of the visitor.  Users of this website will choose not to provide any personal information; so we may only collect anonymous information about such users.

We do collect certain information about your computer, such as browser type, operating system CPU speed, search requests and results, pages viewed, time spent on a page, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer.  All of the information that is automatically submitted to us by your browser is considered anonymous information. To the extent we share such information with third parties, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you.

When you visit our website at (www.caregiversbestfriend.org), we use cookies to collect information about you that helps us provide you with a better experience and run our site more effectively.  Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores on a device that enables it to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use Google Analytics, which uses first-party and third-party cookies to assist us in better understanding visitors to our site. To learn how Google uses the information it collects, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

To provide website visitors more choice on how Google Analytics collects their data, Google has developed an Opt-out Browser add-on that will enable you to opt-out of Google’s programs, which is available by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We may also contract with other third-party service providers to help us better understand traffic to our site. These service providers will not be permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our site.

At any time, you can disable cookies by modifying your browser settings, but doing so may limit your ability to experience all the features of our site.

We also collect information about you when you subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a form or comment on our site. As a condition of subscribing to our newsletter, filling out a form, or commenting on our website, we may ask you to enter your name, e-mail address and other personally identifying information.  We use this information to improve our website, personalize your experience, and send you periodic emails.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

At our discretion, we may include links to third party websites on our website. These third party sites may use cookies or collect other information when you go to their site and these sites have separate and independent privacy policies. You should contact these companies directly if you have any questions about their collection of data.  

From time to time and without notice, we may change our Privacy Policy.  We encourage you to check back periodically to review our Privacy Policy for any changes we may have made since your last visit.  We will post any changes we make to the policy on the Privacy Policy page of our website and will update the “Last Updated” date located at the top of the Privacy Policy page so that you know when the last policy change occurred.

If at any time you do not wish to receive offers and e-mails from us, we ask that you tell us. You may remove your name from our mailing list by sending us an e-mail addressed to info@caregiversbestfriend.org and indicating in the subject line “No Offers or E-mail.”

We, either directly or indirectly through subcontractors and/or agents, operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the personally identifiable information provided by our users. We do not, however, guarantee that unauthorized, inadvertent disclosure will never occur.

Customer lists and information are properly considered assets of a business. Accordingly, if we merge with another entity or if we sell our assets to another entity, our customer lists and information, including personally identifiable information you have provided us, would be included among the assets that would be transferred.
