The Snuggles Project is an exclusive project of Hugs Society.

Hugs Society has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices.

Registration and Contact
Registration on our website is completely optional. If a customer chooses to register, the registration form requires contact information such as name, e-mail address and/or mailing address, if applicable. Customers may also opt to have us store their credit card information on our secure servers. Credit card information is used to bill customers for products and services. Providing demographic information (such as zip code, age, or income level) is completely optional. We use this data for internal purposes and also to tailor a customer's experience. For example, we might generate unique content and display that content according to a user's preferences. With permission from a customer, we will use that customer's contact information to send him or her information about our company, newsletters, or other promotional materials. Customers have the option to discontinue receiving future mailings.

Outside Links
This site contains links to other sites. Hugs Society is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites. Although Hugs Society maintains relationships with other companies and websites, we do not share specific customer information with an outside company. We may at times, however, provide aggregated information about our total customer base and demographics.

Forms
Our site uses forms for customers to communicate with us, to request services or to purchase products and services. We use the contact information from the form to fulfill requests and orders, and to send information and promotional materials about our company. The information also allows us to get in touch with a customer when necessary. Users have the option to discontinue future mailings.

Surveys and Contests
All surveys and contests are optional. Surveys may ask customers for demographic information, Web browsing habits and other preferences. We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information. The customer's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary.

Public Forums
This site may make public forums available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. These measures include background checks on all of our Customer Communications Representatives, multi-tiered database permissions, internal encryption of personal data and 40-bit SSL encryption authenticated.

IP Addresses
We use IP addresses to administer our Web site.

Cookies
Our site may use cookies to track our customers' shopping carts, wish lists, and other interactions with our site (such as reviews).

Discontinue Communications
At registration, we give customers the opportunity to decide not to receive future communications. At anytime, customers may ask us to remove their information from our database or discontinue sending future communications.

Personal Information
Any information a customer provides us will not be sold, rented or shared with third parties without permission. In the event of lost and found pet submission notices and pet adoption requests, the customer, by clicking the Submit button, authorizes us to share the information provided through the online form with our OFTAnet for the purpose of finding the lost/found pet's guardian or to request a pet adoption. When contact information is required, we have the option of denying service if such contact information is not provided.
