Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal information is a priority for our organization. Our objective is to provide an experience that is both gratifying and secure, empowering you to engage fully with the web and to leverage its extensive information, tools, and opportunities in complete security.

Introduction

Data is gathered from both visitors to our sites and subscribers to our services in several ways, particularly from individuals who access the diverse features of our Services and the network of affiliated web sites. In order to communicate transparently with our users, we have issued this Privacy Policy, which affirms our continuous dedication to safeguarding privacy and safeguarding data. The Policy details the modalities of information extraction from the end users of our Internet Services (“Services”), covering both those who browse without a registered account and thus fall under the label “Visitor” and those who engage in the procurement of Products or who subscribe for services on a monthly basis, referred to as “Subscriber.” It informs users about our subsequent treatment of the data, and clarifies the prevailing options available to both categories of individuals regarding data capture and subsequent application. We kindly urge you to review this Privacy Policy in detail.

Notwithstanding our implementation of commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized disclosures, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee that personally identifiable information we collect will never be disclosed contrary to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Registration

At the time of enrollment for our Products or Services, a Subscriber may be required to provide a limited set of personal information, including but not limited to the individual’s name, physical address, telephone number, payment information (for example, credit card details), and an indication regarding the type of computer or device employed to access the Services. The information collected is utilized primarily to create and maintain the Subscriber's account, including for billing administration. Such information may be disclosed to third parties only in the circumstances described in this Privacy Policy or, if not so described, only in exceptional and legally justified circumstances.

In the context of a co-hosted promotional effort—where our company and a business partner collaboratively market the Services—we will furnish the partner with discrete personal information, limited to name, mailing address, and username, of those Subscribers who enrolled via the promotional channel. This transfer is executed for the complementary purpose of enabling the partner to offer Subscribers additional products and services that may be of interest.

Under the present circumstances, the partner is strictly prohibited from repurposing the personal information for any alternate objective. Additionally, we may derive non-identifying, aggregate profiles from the personal data that Subscribers supply at registration—for example, by reporting the total number of Subscribers while omitting any identifiable particulars. The subsequent discussion clarifies how we employ this compile, anonymized information to facilitate the placement of advertisements within the Services.

When a transaction is consummated, we reveal Subscribers’ contact particulars to designated business allies, who, in turn, are permitted to initiate subsequent telephone contact following a purchase. Fiscal proceeds from the transaction are retained by the business partner. Moreover, we may forward Subscribers’ information to other entities for the dispatch of postal promotions that we believe will be of relevance to Subscribers, a practice that may, or may not, be predicated on the receipt of remuneration. In some instances, we transmit promotional material concerning a third-party product, and we then collect the transaction proceeds; the Subscriber’s relevant contact data is thereafter transmitted to the third party vendor, in keeping with the established terms of the promotion.

Our Affiliated Vendors and Benefactors

Certain offerings extended to Visitors and Subscribers may be presented on behalf of affiliates, contract sellers, or non-affiliated collaborators. In order to deliver these offerings, the vendor may be obliged to gather and securely store personal data.

Web-Based Purchases

Designated sites allow you to buy merchandise, enroll for literature—such as a newsletter or product bulletin—and indicate interest in forthcoming offerings. Completing these transactions typically requires the submission of personal identifiers, including, but not limited to, full name, mailing address, electronic-mail address, telephone number, and payment-card details.

Should an order be intended as a gift, such that the merchandise is shipped directly to a third party, you may be required to furnish similar data concerning the intended recipient, including name, street address, and telephone number. Our corporation is unable to govern or monitor the subsequent treatment of such data by the destination vendor. Accordingly, you are advised to disclose only that data which is strictly necessary.

In instances where order fulfillment is handled directly by our corporation, the personal information provided is deployed solely for order authorization and processing. We may disclose pertinent data to liable processing affiliates, distribution centers, and payment gateways in compliance with applicable data confidentiality and retention policies.

Online Advertisements

Our organization may present advertisements on web pages that we host. Under these circumstances, we may forgo the explicit identification of visitors or subscribers while providing aggregated demographic or interest-based data derived from account registrations, participation in recurring surveys, and entry in promotional activities to the advertisers.

In select instances, these datasets are harnessed to execute contextual or audience-specific promotional deliverables. An outside promotional partner conveys to us its desired audience parameters and transmits a corresponding advertisement. Leveraging the previously collected data, we may render the advertisement to the predetermined demographic without relaying personal identifiers to the promotional partner.

Responses to Email Inquiries

When visitors or subscribers direct electronic inquiries to us, the address from which the query originated is retained exclusively for the purpose of providing an informative and timely response.

Voluntary Customer Surveys

From time to time, we issue structured surveys to both corporate and individual clients. Participation, while entirely optional, is encouraged, as the structured responses yield quantitative and qualitative feedback indispensable for the continuous enhancement of our product array and the associated service delivery mechanisms.

Responses obtained from participation in Customer Surveys may be consolidated by collating provided answers with data derived from additional Customer Surveys that have otherwise been collected. This aggregation may inform generic cross-sectional characteristics such as gender, age, place of residence, recreational pursuits, formal educational attainment, occupational standing, and industry affiliation. The synthesized, bifurcated data set is analyzed exclusively for the objectives of refining existing service delivery and of shaping forthcoming service and product initiatives. The balanced aggregate, from which identifiers have been expunged, is available for disclosure to partner analytic and marketing entities.

Promotional initiatives may be presented under auspices of our firm, joint marketing affiliation, or wholly external sponsorship, and may consist of surveys, competitions, prize drawings, recreational games, editorial content, or equivalent promotional forms. Subscription to such initiatives shall be deemed complete, and contingent data shall be collected, upon the acts of consummating a transaction with our firm or of transmitting to our firm discrete segments of personally identifiable data for any considered purpose. Participation data that is made electronically available in such cases may, through contractual or merely transactional symmetry of function, be conveyed to the identifiers sponsoring or co-authoring the promotional element. Solidus governance of analytic or retention practices is remitted to the respective sponsoring entity, and our firm disclaims any standing for oversight or circumscription of the ensuing use.

Moreover, personally identifiable information is frequently gathered whenever an individual completes a transaction, enters a promotional drawing, submits a response to a survey, subscribes to one of our Services such as our electronic publications, or engages in commentary on one of our digital forums or community sites. The categories of personally identifiable information collected under these circumstances encompass, but are not confined to, individual name, residential or business address, electronic mail address, voice or fax number, payment card details, and a record of stated interests and historical usage of a range of products, programs, and online services. Occasionally, data collected on our site may be conveyed to sponsors or third parties who subsequently distribute promotional and informational materials that concern our operational, product, or service portfolios.

Exceptional Circumstances

Our institutional standard permits the application or distribution of personal data concerning Visitors or Subscribers as delineated in this notice without supplementary advice or provision to affirm or otherwise restrict such ancillary processing.

Personal information regarding Visitors or Subscribers, or any data pertaining to activity conducted via the Services, may be shared without further notice at our discretion, if we deem such disclosure to be warranted. This may encompass release to credit bureaus, collection agencies, descriptive databases, or to law enforcement bodies, in order to comply with statutes, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or in response to duly constituted governmental or judicial data requests; to divulge information sufficient to trace, notify, or initiate legal proceedings against any individual whose actions may contravene the prevailing Terms of Use or other governing policies; to facilitate the undisturbed and secure operation of the Services; or to safeguard the interests of our organization, its affiliates, and its Subscribers.

Browser Level Information

The computing infrastructure of ThePawbiotix, Inc. is configured to log certain technical data whenever an individual accesses its web servers. In this automated process, the system may capture the client's Internet Protocol address, the user-agent string of the web browser, the referring Uniform Resource Locator (URL) immediately preceding the visit, and the Uniform Resource Locator that the client subsequently accesses; both preceding and subsequent URLs may belong to the owning domain or an external domain. The server obtains this data by means of standard HTTP headers supplied by the browser software. The collected data is methodically stored in an internal database and subsequently aggregated and anonymized for the exclusive purpose of traffic analysis, allowing researchers to detect patterns of user movement and interaction across the site. In many commercial environments, similar patterns of logging occur by default, and this organization opts to supplement its analysis by delegating specific logging activities, including pixel-generated data, to an external service provider.

Notice of Compliance to California Residents: Your California Privacy Rights Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act and the California Business and Professions Code

In conformity with the California Online Privacy Protection Act and the California Business and Professions Code, the present statement delineates the categories of personally identifiable information that the enterprise derives, directly or indirectly, from the use of its websites or other electronic services. Conversely, the present statement also describes the categories of external commercial or governmental agents with whom the entity may transmit such identifiable data, along with the operational justifications for the disclosure.

Our firm does not presently employ a mechanism permitting a sole consumer, upon using or accessing our commercial web site or online service, to inspect or request amendments to personally identifiable information acquired via such site or service.

Refer to the section immediately following, titled "Revisions to this Policy," for a depiction of the methodology by which notification is disseminated to consumers of our commercial web site or online service concerning material alterations to our established online privacy framework.

The date upon which this privacy statement takes effect is recorded at the terminal portion of this document in the section labeled "Last updated."

For the purposes of this statement and in furtherance of compliance with California statutes, the definitions enumerated below shall apply.

Subject to the specific actions undertaken by a visitor on our commercial web site or online service, the class of "personally identifiable information" described in other segments of this document may additionally encompass the following data elements.

The term “personally identifiable information” (PII) refers to information that can be linked to an individual consumer and that our company acquires through an online interaction. Such information is stored and made accessible in a form that allows for immediate reevaluation. PII may, for example, encompass:

a consumer’s full name;
a residential or alternative physical address, inclusive of the street name and name of the locality;
a valid e-mail address;
a landline or mobile telephone number;
a social security number;
any other unique marker that, when used alone or in combination, allows direct or indirect communication with the particular individual;
or any dataset that is merged with one of the identifiers cited in this policy and that was collected, maintained, and housed through the automated platform.

Pursuant to the provisions set forth in Senate Bill 27 of the California legislature, all residents of the State of California are afforded the statutory right to submit, on an annual basis, an inquiry concerning the disclosure of personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Specifically, the resident may request notification of the identity of third parties to which the resident’s personal information concerning himself, herself, or his, her, or their family has been disclosed, as well as an enumeration of the categories of information disclosed. To initiate the statutory request, the resident shall direct an electronic mail message to contact@pawbiotix-product.com, inserting the phrase "California Privacy Request" in the subject line, and including the precise domain of the website in question, together with the resident’s full legal name, mailing address, and electronic mail address. The Company shall acknowledge and respond to the inquiry no later than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt.

Definition and Utilization of "Cookies" by the Company

The term "cookie" refers to a compact electronic text file that is placed upon a computer’s storage medium by a web browser when the user accesses a given website. The Company may deploy cookies for the compilation, preservation, and, on occasion, the continual monitoring of information for the purposes articulated in this privacy notice, together with limited statistical analysis. Such analysis serves to refine and enhance the quality of the products and services that the Company offers and to facilitate the efficient administration of its telecommunications infrastructures.

By default, most popular web browsers accept cookies without further prompt, although you can alter the controls in most browsers to require a confirmation message before a cookie is accepted, or to block cookies entirely. Do note that disabling cookies from our domain may restrict the performance of specific functionality on the site. Guidance on deleting and managing cookies in the most common browsers is available at www.aboutcookies.org.

In addition to the cookies we use, other entities such as our advertising partners may place additional cookies. We do not govern the operation of these cookies and disclaim liability for any data that they gather.

Our organisation employs remarketing techniques through the Google Analytics, AdRoll, and Facebook platforms for the purpose of online advertising.

Other, unaffiliated vendors, notably Google, may display our advertisements on various web properties.

In this ecosystem of online marketing, we and the vendors in question, comprising both first- and third-party entities, use first-party cookies (such as those associated with Google Analytics) in conjunction with third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick identifier) to assess and subsequently refine the delivery of advertisements based on users’ prior interactions with our web properties.

To enhance such customisation, we may integrate data from Google’s Interest-based Advertising service and third-party audience variables (e.g., demographic variables such as age, gender, and interests) with Google Analytics in order to generate educational and marketing assets that correspond to the predominate demographic and interest profile of our audience.

Users may opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and personalize Google Display Network advertisements by accessing Google’s advertisement settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Additionally, individuals may install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/, which functions as a browser extension.

We regard the safeguarding of minors’online privacy as a critical responsibility. Our operations are governed by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other relevant privacy statutes. In accordance with these mandates, access to our site is limited to individuals at least eighteen (18) years of age.

THIS WEBSITE IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR PERSONS EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. ACCESS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO PERSONS UNDER EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE. BECAUSE OF THIS AGE RESTRICTION, ANY DATA COLLECTED ON THIS WEBSITE IS NOT REGULATED BY THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT, AND THE WEBSITE DOES NOT CONTINUALLY MONITOR DATA TO IDENTIFY CHILDREN.

Users should acknowledge that any information posted to publicly available features of our sites, including but not limited to Subscriber Directories and similar sections, becomes accessible to the general public. Caution is therefore advised when deciding to share any personally identifiable information in such open areas.

Our Company’s Commitment to Data Security

The technology, personnel, and operations that support the online services we provide are designed to guard against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information that we collect and maintain. Although we deploy reasonable measures—including firewalls, encryption, and controlled physical-access—to protect our systems, we cannot bivouac against all unforeseen vulnerabilities, and therefore we cannot offer absolute assurance that a malicious entity will be unable to gain access to the data that we steward.

In the Event of Sale or Bankruptcy

Circumstances may arise under which the ownership of The Pawbiotix, Inc. shifts through transaction or statutory operation, such as a sale, merger, initial public offering, or bankruptcy. In such eventualities, the continuity of service envisaged by our community of users will be preserved through the statutory or contractual assignment of its digital assets. Consequently, the information that we maintain may be disclosed to the successor entity or its representatives. Users’ previous preferences with respect to third-party marketing will continue to govern access to that information, notwithstanding that the data itself will be transferable without the necessity for further consent.

Questions regarding this Privacy Policy, including any clarifications concerning its implications, should be directed to us using the contact details displayed on this website.

The following section delineates the categories of information we gather, providing illustrative examples as well as indicating the specific purposes for which we employ each dataset.

Account Creation Data. When you establish a user account, we gather your name, electronic mail address, postal address, telephone number, and, where relevant, additional identifiers that facilitate account recovery. We also log the particular actions undertaken while authenticated, such as login timestamps, device identifiers, and activity patterns.

The accompanying data enables the maintenance of secure account records, the personalization of user experiences, and the execution of transactional activities—namely, streamlined checkout, preservation of user preferences, and historical retrieval of prior transactions and interactions.

Business Contact Data. In the course of servicing clients and their affiliates, we gather the names, electronic mail addresses, and telephone numbers of the primary contacts, as well as their direct reporting relationships where available.

In pursuit of effective account management, project oversight, and efficient delivery of invoicing and other administrative communications, we engage with these contacts on a routine and necessary basis.

Cookies and First Party Tracking

We employ both cookies and clear GIFs to enhance visitor experience. Cookies refer to small strings of text that a web server transfers to a visitor's hard drive at the moment of access. For a comprehensive treatment of the cookies we set and the purposes they serve please refer to the subsequent Cookie Section.

The primary objective of this data is to provide seamless navigation through our platform and to maintain the technical efficiency of our web infrastructure.

Cookies and Third Party Tracking

To support tailored marketing initiatives, our site permits a third-party partner to place its own cookies, thereby enabling the aggregation of usage data across sessions. This partner subsequently delivers interest-based advertising both on our site and on externally linked domains. The Cookie Section that follows provides complete disclosures on the cookies and associated processing undertaken by the third party.

Where the applicable data protection statutes require, we condition the deployment of third-party cookies upon the informed, affirmative consent of the user.

Demographic Information

We may request and store demographic particulars, including age, geographical area, and gender. This information is processed exclusively to fulfil statutory data minimisation and purpose specification requirements, enabling us to demonstrate compliance with prevailing regulations.

Email Interconnectivity

For users engaged through our electronic mail, analytical utilities document the time and frequency of message opening, the specific links or promotional banners that are engaged, and subsequent transactions directly associated with the email. This dataset is aggregated to analyse engagement patterns with our electronic communications.

Employment

Upon submission of a job application or when formally hired, we gather information required both to adjudicate the candidacy or to maintain the employment relationship. Among the data collected is the applicant’s Social Security Number, the provision of which is a statutory prerequisite to employment.

We leverage information submitted by current staff to fulfil our remuneration and benefits responsibilities. Numerous jurisdictions impose statutory data collection mandates of a similar type, and we therefore capture it. Further, this information supports the management of staffing and work force logistics in an efficient manner.

Feedback/Support

In instances where an individual provides guidance or reaches out via our support mechanism, we log the full name, email address, and any attached content to ensure a prompt and relevant response. This data is exclusively processed to record, evaluate, and subsequently address the remarks or technical inquiries submitted.

Mailing List

Individuals who register on one of our mailing distributions transmit either a valid email address or a postal address, which we log for record and analysis. Data recipients voluntarily declare their desire to obtain notifications. We subsequently draw on this information to communicate updates and product or service offerings to the consenting individuals.

Mobile Devices

Information is gathered from your mobile hardware, including identifiers transmitted automatically when you access our website or when you enter any of our retail locations.

This data enables us to distinguish individual sessions and analyse patterns of user engagement across our services.
