We need to process your User Personal Information (hereinafter “UPI,” defined in the Definitions section of the policies) in order to operate and provide the Services (as defined in Section 1.4). By accepting the Terms of Use (the “Terms,” defined in Section 1.5), you confirm that you have read and understood this policy including how and why UPI is used. If you do not wish your information used in this way, you should not use the Services.
We are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of or practices of any of its members, third-party websites, or third-party apps.

Depending on which Services are used, additional information such as a shop name, billing and payment information (including billing contact name, address, telephone number, and credit card information), a telephone number, and/or a physical postal address, may be required to provide a particular service. This information is not required to become an Account Holder but will be required to provide certain Services.

It is stored in log files and collected automatically.
1. This information may be combined with other information that we or our partners collect about Users, including across devices. This information is used to prevent fraud and keep the Services secure, to analyze and understand how the Services work for members and visitors, and to provide advertising, including across a User’s devices, and a personalized experience for Users.

This software may record information such as how often the Apps are used, what happens within the Apps, aggregated usage, performance data, app errors and debugging information, and where the Apps were downloaded from. This information is stored within the analytics software and is not linked to any personally identifiable information that is submitted within the mobile application.

You may choose to connect to Art of the Pet or register an Art of the Pet account using an external third-party application, such as Facebook, or an app developed with the Art of the Pet API.

We offer you the choice of providing, editing, and removing certain information. You are also given the ability to choose how to be contacted by us. You may correct or change account information through the account settings. Optional information that you no longer wish to be publicly displayed through the Services may be removed. Additionally, you can request that UPI in the account be deleted. If you would like to request account deletion, contact [email protected]

We use non-technically necessary cookies and similar technologies. Further information about how these are used can be found in the Technology Policy.
You may also control the receipt of certain types of communications from us via the account settings. We may send messages about the Services or account activity. Some of these messages are required, service-related messages such as those regarding transactions or legal notices. Others are optional and may be opted into via the account settings.
We partner with third parties to manage our advertising on other sites. These third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you with advertising based on browsing activities and interests. If you have chosen to connect your account to an external third-party application, such as Facebook, or an app developed using the API, these permissions can be removed via the account settings in the third party application.
If you no longer wish to use the Services or receive service-related messages (except for legally required notifications), then your account may be closed.

5.– Findability

You may choose to connect directly with your email provider, your mobile device’s address book, or a social network account to import your contacts to Art of the Pet. Authorizing this service permits us to interact with the email service provider on your behalf even if you are not actively using the email service. We generate a separate token to perform this service and do not retain a record of the login information for your email service, mobile device, or social network site. You may be able to search for people you know by email address or phone number on the Art of the Pet site or by connecting their mobile device’s contact list through the Apps.
Finding friends on Art of the Pet allows you to connect with them on the Art of the Pet platform and perform such functions as following their activity. When you begin following another User’s activity, the User being followed will receive an email notification if this setting is enabled.
If you do not want your contacts to be able to find you on Art of the Pet through email address, phone number, or social networking connections, then you may change the findability options in the account settings. If you do not wish to be located on Art of the Pet via your name, the name can be removed and a nickname or alias used instead in the public account profile.

6.– Messages from Art of the Pet

We may need to contact you on some occasions. These messages are generally delivered via email or push notifications, and all accounts are required to keep a valid email address on file to receive messages. We may also contact you by telephone to provide support or for transaction-related purposes if a phone call is requested. Further, with your consent, we may send an SMS (or similar) message or physical mail in order to provide you with customer support or to provide information about products and features that you may find of interest. Contact preferences can be updated in the account settings.
Some messages are service-related and required for Account Holders and Users using Guest Checkout. You agree that Art of the Pet can send non-marketing emails or messages, such as those related to transactions, accounts, security, or product changes. Other examples include email address confirmation, notification of order, service availability, modification of key features or functions, conversations with buys, and correspondence with the Art of the Pet support team.
When you register for an account, subscribe to a newsletter, or provide Art of the Pet with your email address or phone number such as for Guest Checkout, you receive notice of and agree to (in some jurisdictions and situations via an additional unambiguous consent) to receive marketing emails and messages from Art of the Pet. You can unsubscribe from these marketing emails at any time via an opt-out link provided in the marketing emails or messages. You may also control some marketing emails or messages through your account settings as well as through the opt-out link in the message or email.
A feature to import contacts is provided to Account Holders to locate and connect with friends and contacts that may also be Account Holders on Art of the Pet. If someone in your contact list is not a member of Art of the Pet, you can invite them to join and an email will be sent to them on your behalf. Recipients of email invitations may opt out of receiving future invitations by following instructions in the email invitation. Invitations may only be sent to someone who has given consent to receive one.

7.– Community

We offer features to allow our Users to connect and communicate in public or semi-public spaces such as Forums. These features are not required but, if used, we recommend you use good judgment and common sense particularly if posting any UPI.
We may engage certain third parties to assist in providing community services to you and, in the context of that relationship, may need to share some of your information with those third parties in order to provide the service.
We do not generally remove content from community spaces, and your posts may remain public even after your account is closed, although your name will no longer be displayed with the post. You are responsible for any UPI you choose to post in community spaces through the Services.
Another Account Holder may choose to follow your public activity through the Services and receive updates such as when items are added to public Favorites. You may make certain activities private through the account settings. After another User has begun following your activity, you may block that person if you do not wish to share updates with that person.

8.– Information Uses, Sharing, & Disclosure

When you access or use the Services, we collect, use, share, and otherwise process UPI as described in this policy. We relies on a number of legal bases to use the information in this way. These legal bases include:
1. Necessary to perform the contractual obligations in the Terms of Use and in order to provide the Services to you;
2. You have consented to the processing, which can be revoked at any time;
3. Necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend legal claims;
4. Necessary for purposes of Art of the Pet or a third party’s legitimate interests, such as those of visitors, members, or partners;
5. You have expressly made the information public;
6. Necessary in the public interest; and
7. Occasionally necessary to protect your vital interests, or those of others.
Art of the Pet principally relies on consent
1. To send marketing messages;
2. For third-party data sharing related to advertising; and
3. To the extent applicable, for the use of location data for advertising purposes.
Where we process your information on the basis of legitimate interests, we do so as follows:
1. Providing and Improving the Services. We may use your information to improve and customize the Services, including sharing of your information for such purposes, and we do so as it is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests of improving the Services for Users. This is also necessary to enable us to pursue our legitimate interests in understanding how the Services are being used, and to explore and unlock ways to develop and grow our business. It is also necessary to allow us to pursue our legitimate interests in improving the Services, efficiency, interest in Services for Users, and obtaining insights into usage patterns of the Services.
2. Keeping the Services Safe and Secure. We may use your information for safety and security purposes, including sharing your information for such purposes. This is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in ensuring the security of the Services, including enhancing protecting of the community against spam, harassment, intellectual property infringement, crime, and security risks of all kind.
  We respects our Users’ privacy. We will not disclose your name, email address, or other UPI to third parties without consent, except as specified in this policy.
  We use your information to provide and improve the Services and its products, for billing and payments, for identification and authentication, for targeted online and offline marketing including through tools like Facebook Ads and Google Advertising, to contact members or interested parties, and for general research and aggregate reporting. Your information may also be used to resolve disputes with Art of the Pet or other members. We may learn the sorts of products that you are interested in from your browsing and purchasing behavior on and off the Site or Apps and suggest potential purchases as a result. As a core part of the Services, we have a legitimate interest in customizing your on-site experience to help you discover relevant items and recommended purchases. Similarly, we or our Sellers may advertise Art of the Pet’s Services or our Sellers’ products through a variety of different mediums and rely on your consent to do so off-site. As part of this, we may work with advertising partners such as Facebook, Google, or others.
3. Buying and Selling. As part of the buying and selling process, we will facilitate the sharing of information between the two members involved in the transaction, such as the other User’s shipping address and payment information. By making a sale or purchase on Art of the Pet, you are directing us to share your information in this way. Since this is an important part of the Services provided by Art of the Pet, we need to do this in order to perform our obligations under the Terms. We expect you to respect the privacy of other Users whose information you have received. As described in the Terms, you have a limited license to use that information only for Art of the Pet-related communications or for Art of the Pet-facilitated transactions. We have not granted a license to you to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without express consent from that person, you must not add any member to your email or physical mailing list or otherwise use or store any User’s UPI.
4. Legal and Safety. Art of the Pet may also retain, preserve, or release UPI to a third party in the following limited circumstances: in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet legitimate national security or law enforcement requirements; to protect, establish, or exercise Art of the Pet’s legal rights or defend against legal claims, including to collect a debt; to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or other legal requirement; or when Art of the Pet believes in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, threats to Art of the Pet property, or violations of the Terms. In these cases, our use of your information may be necessary for the purposes of our or a third party’s legitimate interest in keeping the Services secure, preventing harm or crime, enforcing or defending legal rights, or preventing damage. Such use may also be necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend legal claims. It may also be necessary in the public interest (such as to prevent crime) or to protect vital interests (in rare cases where we may need to share information to prevent loss of life or personal injury).
  If we receive a lawful, verified request for your records or information in one of the limited circumstances described in the previous paragraphs, we may disclose UPI, which may include, but may not be limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address, and company name. More information can be found in the Requests for Information Policy.
5. Affiliated Businesses. We are affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them for a variety of purposes, including assisting with performing and improving the Services. These businesses may sell items or services to you through the Services or, with your consent, offer promotions (including email promotions) to you. Art of the Pet may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses, including providing information to such partners to allow them to more effectively market to you. When an affiliated business assists in facilitating a User transaction, we may need to share information related to the transaction with that affiliated business in order to facilitate the transaction, and this forms part of the Services provided in accordance with the Terms. We rely on consent (which can be withdrawn at any time) to send marketing messages and for third-party sharing relating to advertising.
6. Aggregated Information. We may share demographic information with business partners, but it will be aggregated and depersonalized, so that UPI is not revealed.
7. Service Providers. We also needs to engage third-party companies and individuals (such as payment processors, research companies, and analytics and security providers) to help operate, provide, and market the Services. These third parties have only limited access to your information, may use your information only to perform these tasks on behalf of Art of the Pet, and are obligated to Art of the Pet not to disclose or use your information for other purposes. Engagement of service providers is often necessary in order to provide the Services to you, particularly where such companies play important roles like processing payments and shipments and helping keep the Services operational and secure. In some other cases, these service providers aren’t strictly necessary for us to provide the Services, but help make the Services better, such as by helping conduct research into how better to serve our Users. In these latter cases, Art of the Pet has a legitimate interest in working with service providers to make the Services better.
8. Business Reorganization. In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. Such transactions may be necessary and in its legitimate interests, particularly its interest in making decisions that enable our business to develop over the long term. In these types of transactions (such as a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership, or transfer of all or substantially all of Art of the Pet’s assets), User information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. If we intend to transfer information about Users, we will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Site and the App, and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt out before information about them becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
9. Third Parties. Third-party plug-ins may also collect information about your use of the Site such as when using social network plug-ins to “like” or “share” information and activity from Art of the Pet. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site. In addition, certain cookies and other similar technologies on the Site are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time they use the Services. Please be aware that when you use a third-party site or service, that third-party’s own terms and privacy policies will govern use of those sites or services. Art of the Pet chooses and manages these third-party technologies placed on its Sites and Apps. However, these are third-party technologies, and they are subject to that third party’s privacy policy. For more information, see the Other Technologies Policy. We rely on your consent to drop and read non-technically necessary cookies.
  We can speak only for ourselves. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control or individuals that we do not employ or manage. If you provide your information to others, different practices may apply to the use or disclosure of the information that is provided to them. We do not control the privacy policies of third parties, including other members who sell using the Services or API Users. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of these sellers, API users, or other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the Services. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and ask questions of third parties before disclosing your information to them. For the purposes of European law, these sellers and API users are independent controllers of data, which means that they are responsible for providing and complying with their own policies relating to any UPI they obtain in connection with the Services.

9.– Transfers

The United States, European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member States, and other countries all have different laws. When User information is moved from their home country to another country, the laws and rules that protect their UPI in the country to which the information is transferred may be different from those in the country in which you live. One notable difference is the circumstances in which law enforcement can access UPI. In particular, if the information is in the United States, it may be access by government authorities in accordance with U.S. law.
To the extent that Art of the Pet is deemed to transfer UPI outside of the EEA, it relies separately, alternatively, and independently on the following legal bases to transfer User information:
1. Model Clauses. The European Commission has adopted standard contractual clauses (Model Clauses), which provide safeguards for UPI that is transferred outside of Europe. Art of the Pet often uses these Model Clauses when transferring UPI outside of Europe. A copy of the Model Clauses can be obtained by emailing [email protected]
2. Privacy Shield. Art of the Pet, LLC, does not participate in Privacy Shield at this time. However, it may rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield to transfer UPI to some third party service providers in the United States, where they are certified to receive such information under the Privacy Shield Program.
3. Necessary for the Performance of the Contract Between Art of the Pet and Users. Art of the Pet provides a voluntary service. You can choose whether to use the Services or not. However, if you wish to use the Services, you must agree to the Terms of Use (the “Terms”), which set out the contract between Art of the Pet and its Users. As Art of the Pet operates in countries worldwide and use technical infrastructure in the U.S. and elsewhere to deliver the Services to you, in accordance with the contract between Art of the Pet and Users, Art of the Pet needs to transfer UPI to the U.S. and other jurisdictions as necessary to provide the Services. The Services cannot be provided, and the contract between Users and Art of the Pet fulfilled, without moving UPI around the world.

10.– Security

The security of UPI is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the UPI submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received. User account information is protected by a password. It is important that you choose the password carefully and keep both password and computer secure, such as by signing out after using the Services. If you have questions about the security of your UPI, you can contact [email].
We encrypt certain information (such as credit card numbers) using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). We also employ firewalls, other methods of data encryption, physical restrictions on access to the data storage, and information access authorization controls.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the UPI submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. While we strive to protect UPI as best as possible, the absolute security cannot be guaranteed. We may offer optional advanced security settings for members, such as two-factor authentication for signing in, full-site SSL, and login history. When available, these options will be able to be enabled in the account settings.

11.– Retention

We will retain User information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, for as long as your account is active (i.e., for the lifetime of your Art of the Pet account), as described in this policy, or as needed to provide the Services to Users. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the Services to you, you may close your account.
We will retain and use User information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (such as if required to retain information to comply with applicable tax/revenue laws), resolve disputes, enforce its agreements, and as otherwise described in this policy.
Additionally, Art of the Pet Sellers may also be required to retain and use User information in order to comply with their legal obligations.
Please note that closing an Art of the Pet account may not free up the email address, username, or shop name (if any) for reuse on a new account.
We also retain log files for internal analysis purposes. These log files are generally retained for a brief period of time, except in cases where they are used for site safety and security, to improve site functionality, or where we are legally obligated to retain them for longer periods.

12.– User Rights

You may benefit from several rights in relation to your information that we process. Some rights apply only in certain limited cases, depending on your location. If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your UPI, you can do so via your Art of the Pet account settings or by contacting us directly. Upon request, we will provide you with information about whether we holds any of your UPI.
By visiting account settings, an Account Holder can access, correct, change, and delete certain UPI associated with your account. In certain cases where we process User information, you may also have a right to restrict or limit the ways in which your UPI is used. In certain circumstances, you also have the right to request the deletion of your UPI, and to obtain a copy of your UPI in an easily accessible format. The options are detailed above in the “Choice & Control” section. If further assistance is required, please contact us directly and a response will be sent within a reasonable timeframe.
If we process your information based on our legitimate interests as explained above, or in the public interest, you can object to this processing in certain circumstances. In such cases, we will cease processing your information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing or where it is needed for legal reasons. Where we use your data for direct marketing purposes, you can always object by using the unsubscribe link in such communications or changing their account settings.

13.– User Responsibilities

If you sell items using the Art of the Pet Services or API, you may receive and determine what to do with certain UPI, such as when communicating with other Users and entering into transactions with Buyers. This means you processes UPI (such as Buyer’s name, email address, and shipping address) and, to the extent you do so, under EU law, you are an independent controller of data relating to other users that you may have obtained through the Services.
You are responsible for protecting UPI that you receive or process and complying with all relevant legal requirements when using the Services. This includes applicable data protection and privacy laws that govern the ways in which you can use a User’s information. Such laws may require that you post, and comply with, your own privacy policy, which must be accessible to Art of the Pet Users you interact with and be compatible with this policy and Art of the Pet’s Terms of Use.
As a data controller, to the extent you process UPI outside of the Services, you may be required under applicable data protection and privacy laws to honor requests for data access, portability, correction, deletion, and objections to processing. Also, if you disclose UPI without the Buyer’s proper consent, you are responsible for that unauthorized disclosure. This includes, for example, disclosures you make or unintentional data breaches. Information obtained may only be used for Art of the Pet-related communications or for Art of the Pet-facilitated transactions. You may not use obtained UPI for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without the Buyer’s consent, and subject to other applicable laws and Art of the Pet policies, you may not add any Art of the Pet member to your email or physical mailing list, use that Buyer’s identity for marketing, or obtain or retain any payment information. You are responsible for knowing the standard of consent required in any given instance.
If you and Art of the Pet are found to be joint data controllers of UPI, and if we are sued, fined, or otherwise incurs expenses because of something that you did as a joint data controller of Buyer UPI, you agree to indemnify us for the expenses we incur in connection with your processing of Buyer UPI.

14.– Withdrawing Consent

Where you have provided your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your information and your use of the Services. You can choose to withdraw your consent to our processing of your information and your use of the Services at any time by closing your account through the account settings and then emailing [email] to request that your UPI be deleted, except for information we are required to retain. This deletion is permanent and the account cannot be reinstated.

15.– Privacy Policy Changes

We may amend or update this policy from time to time. If we believe the changes are material, we will let you know by doing one (or more) of the following:
1. Posting the changes on or through the Services;
2. Sending you an email or message about the changes; or
3. Posting an update in the version notes on the Apps’ platform.
You are encouraged to check for and review updates regularly.
