K-9 Power Products LLC, knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and discretely. We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website:K9power.com
The information we obtain from visitors/customers helps us to personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at k9power.com Below are the types of information we gather.
Information- We request information from our customers in our products order form. Customers must provide contact information (name, e-mail, billing and shipping address) and financial information (credit card number, expiration date). Financial information that is collected is only used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this information is used to contact the customer.
We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our internet stores, and communicating with you. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We will never sell, rent, trade or give your information or e-mail address for any purpose.
How Secure is My Information? K-9 Power Products LLC takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When customers submit sensitive information via the Website, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our order form asks a customer to enter sensitive information, such as credit card number, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption technology in the industry (SSL). While on a secure page, such as our 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 not in secure mode or surfing.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer information off line. All of our customers' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (billing clerk or customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
K-9 Power Products LLC servers are contracted by Marketwizz Internet Solutions and use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128 bit Advanced Technology. All Orders Are Processed With Secure Socket Layering (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-Bits (the highest level commercially available) on an Apache Secure Server with a GeoTrust Security Certificate.
Automatic Information- Information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, e-mail address, computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform, purchase history, the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time, cookie number, products you viewed or searched for and the phone number used to call our toll free number.
What About Cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers of data stored on the visitor's computer that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. This enables our systems to recognize your browser and to provide storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by K-9 Power Products LLC only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or links to other sites.
Log Files- Like most standard websites, our host server, Marketwizz Internet Solutions, uses log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track visitor's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
E-Mail Communications, Specials, Offers and Updates- We send an e-mail confirmation of your purchase including your order's tracking number. We follow-up with a second e-mail to be sure you have received your order in good condition and to ask if you have any questions regarding your purchase or product use. Established customers will occasionally receive information on new products, special sales or our newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our customers we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections below.
Information From Other Sources- For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
