This privacy policy covers Happy Hounds, LLC and
its Web site, http://www.happyhoundswi.com:
This is how we handle information we learn about
you from your visit to our Web site.
The information our Web servers gather depends
upon what you do when visiting our site. Please note that our servers
are not set up to collect any personally identifying information
about you when you visit sites hosted on them. The only personal
information about you that is gathered is the information you choose
to provide to us.
If you visit our site, we collect and store only
the following anonymous information about your visit:
- The name of the domain from which you access
the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from
an America Online account) and the Internet Protocol (IP) address
or host name which may or may not identify a specific computer.
- The date and time you access our site.
- The pages you visit.
- The Internet address of the Web site from
which you linked directly to our site.
These web access logs may be preserved indefinitely
and used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security
breaches and to insure the integrity of the data on our servers.
We do not collect information through the use of web browser cookies.
With the exception of web access and email log data that is collected
from all visitors, we do not collect any information on-line from
children.
If you send us an E-mail:
You may decide to send us personally identifying
information (for example, your mailing address) in an electronic
mail message requesting information or a personal contact via phone.
Information collected in this manner is used solely for responding
to your request unless noted in the specific web page where your
request is made. We do not share this information with any other
party (government agencies, commercial and non-commercial entities,
or the public) not directly involved in the processing of an order
placed on our Web site. If the information is shared with a third
party to process your order, we require that third party to maintain
the confidentiality of your information. Any information that you
provide us in an email may be subject to disclosure under a Freedom
of Information Act request pursuant to subpoena or court order.
We retain an email log of the time each message is received by the
server, the source and destination address of each message, the
time each message is forwarded, and the delivery status of each
message. We will not use your e-mail address to create any type
of mailing list or utilize your e-mail address for any reason other
than to respond to your request. The email log may be retained indefinitely.
Our Web site is hosted on servers owned by an
outside provider (Trivera Interactive). E-mails sent to us are transmitted
through their mail servers and processed by their web servers. Those
e-mails are not ever intercepted, read or stored by any Trivera
Interactive personnel.
Be assured that any personal information you share
with us will not be sold, transferred or disclosed to third parties
without your prior consent. In the event that Happy Hounds, LLC
is ever bought, sold, or merged with another entity, we reserve
the right to transfer all of our collected information along with
the rest of the assets of the Company to the new owner.
For site management:
Information from web access and email logs is
collected for "in aggregate" statistical purposes. This
computer system uses software programs to create summary statistics,
which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors
to the different sections of sites, what information is of most
and least interest, determining technical design specifications,
and identifying system performance or problem areas.
For site and Server Security:
To ensure that this service remains available
to all users, this computer system employs software programs to
monitor network traffic, to identify unauthorized attempts to upload
or change information, and to prevent denial of service attacks
or other attacks intended to cause damage. Unauthorized modification
of any information stored on this system may result in criminal
prosecution.
Certain accredited and/or approved outside parties
have been granted limited FTP access to areas of our the Web servers
that host our Web site for the purpose of updating other Web sites
hosted on the same servers. That limited access allows for upload
and modification of Web files to those accounts only (HTML pages,
images and documents), but does not allow access to directories
where executable files are stored. The ability to install and run
executable files (anything that could crash the server or compromise
its operation or security) is reserved exclusively for the developers
of our Web site (Trivera employees).

This Web site contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices
of these other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy statements of every linked
Web site as their privacy policies may differ from ours. This privacy
statement applies solely to the Happy Hounds web sites.
Notification of Changes:
We reserve the right to revise this privacy policy,
and if that happens, we will post those changes on this Web site
so our visitors and customers are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. If you have any questions about this privacy statement,
the practices of this site, or your dealings with this Web site,
