Privacy Notice
This website is operated by Doggone Cute Inc dba Tail Trends. We recognize that privacy is a concern for our customers. This Privacy Notice is to establish that Tail Trends has a strict policy for handling customer information. The information you provide to our company is confidential and protected to the fullest extent possible. We will not disclose or distribute customer information including address, name, phone number, email and credit card data to third parties without prior written consent by the customer. We will never sell or share your personal information with another company for marketing purposes. If you post reviews, comments or pictures to tailtrends.com, you grant Tail Trends the right to share those reviews, comments or pictures with our vendors and affiliate partners to utilize on their websites. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact our Customer Service department.
What information do we collect, and how is this information used?
Tail Trends collects information that is voluntarily provided to us. This “personally identifiable information” is defined as including, but not limited to: name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, gender, personal interests, credit card information, and other similar personal or preference data that you provide to us. This information was provided when you called, emailed, created your online account, entered a sweepstakes or contest, subscribed to a service, requested to receive marketing materials, participated in a promotion, and submitted an order to be processed. It may also include information you submit about other people such as the name and address of a referral.
The information may be used to fulfill your orders and requests, analyze trends and statistics, and to inform you of new products, services, and offers (including the products, services, and offers of our affiliates). We may use information about your product interest and purchases to help us improve our Site design. We will not share your information with anyone outside of Tail Trends and its affiliate companies.
We may contract with third-party service business providers, such as credit card processing, computer system services, shipping, data management, or promotional services. Personally identifiable information may be shared with third-party service providers for no other purpose than to provide services to us. We may also share collected information with governmental agencies and order organization assisting us with prevention and investigation of fraud, improper conduct, and improper transactions. The information provided to these agencies or organizations are used for the sole purpose of carrying out preventive measures and investigations. If some or all of Tail Trends business assets are sold or transferred, information regarding our customers and visitors will be transferred to and become property of the purchaser and its affiliates. Customer and visitor information may also be retained by Tail Trends and its affiliates. If a customer requests information through our Site, Tail Trends may contact the customer through email, phone, or mailing address to address issues specific to that request — even if the customer has previously requested not to receive communication from us.
What is your security policy, and how do you protect my information?
The Tail Trends Site electronically verifies every financial transaction with the credit company, processing only those orders the credit card company authorizes. In the case of a suspicious or declined transaction, our company may contact you to confirm the validity and ensure your identity. If payment information is not settled, our company will cancel that order.
The Tail Trends Site works to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input at 256-bit strength. This is denoted in most web-browsers by a small padlock appearing on the bottom bar of the window and the address of the window changing from http:// to https://, meaning a secure connection. If the Tail Trends Site cannot establish a secure connection, your information will not be transmitted. If you are using a web browser or firewall that does not permit communications through secure sites, you will not be able to make a purchase from on our site. In the event that an order cannot be completed, please contact customer service.
Once all of your information has been transmitted successfully, we take proper security measures in our physical facility to safeguard the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information. We recommend that you protect your password at all times. Be sure to sign off your account and close your browser window after using the site, so that others cannot access your account and account information inappropriately. We strongly urge you to take this precaution when sharing your computer in a public place or when you are in an area with an unsecure Wi-Fi network.
