Heart of my Heart Pets Privacy Policy

Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique ("www.heartofmyheartpets.com") maintains a strict privacy policy and uses state of the art technologies to safeguard personal information and communications from unauthorized intrusions. Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique recognizes that the growth of on-line services has created additional privacy concerns, particularly for Internet users. On-line privacy concerns focus primarily on the protection of "user identifiable" information, which an individual reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "user identifiable" information is information that, when associated with an individual identifies that user, for example, a user's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique has put in place the following Privacy Policy. This policy covers personal information collected using Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique’s services available under the domain and sub domains of www.heartofmyheartpets.com (our web site). You consent to Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique’s use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy whenever you submit information to us. This policy was last updated on June 2006.

Unless required to by law, Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique does not share any personal information you submit to Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique to a third party without your consent.

You may read most of the Site without giving Heart of my Heart Pet Boutique any personal information.
