Privacy Policy

#1 WE NEVER HAVE and WE NEVER WILL sell your personal information.

#2 OTHER websites with a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link, are required to have such a link because THEY really do sell your information for profit. WE believe it is unethical to exploit the public. Therefore, WE absolutely DO NOT sell any personal information.

#3 Below are all the details of how WE respect and care for your personal information. Please email: privacy@innovetpet.com if you have any questions, comments, concerns or requests regarding our policies.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Innovet Pet Products collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of theinnovetpet.com website (“Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Innovet Pet. Users may be subject to different protection standards, and broader standards may therefore apply to some. In order to learn more about the protection criteria, Users can refer to the applicability section.

How We Collect User Information

Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy carry the meanings given in our Terms & Condition.

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our Site, register on the Site, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and credit card information. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information at any time, but this may prevent them from engaging in certain Site-related activities, such as purchasing a product or engaging in our newsletters.

Text Marketing and notifications: By subscribing to text notifications you agree to receive recurring automated marketing messages at the phone number provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Reply STOP to unsubscribe. HELP for help. Msg & Data rates may apply. More info view Privacy Policy and ToS.

Information We Collect from Social Networking Sites

If you create an account on our website through a third-party connection or log-in (for example, through Facebook, or by “following” or “liking” innovetpet.com on a third-party social media site, etc.), that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to Innovet Pet Products. This information could include the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. The data we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network. You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the site.

Non-Personal Identification Information

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about Users’ means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system, the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information.

Web Browser Cookies

Our Site may use “cookies” to enhance User experience. Users’ web browsers place cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Users may choose to set their web browsers to refuse cookies or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

How We Store and Protect Your Information

Storage and Processing: Your information collected through the Shopify service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Innovet Pet Products or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities. Innovet Pet may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information, to affiliated entities, or to other third parties across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or any other country in which Innovetpet.com or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

Keeping Your Information Safe

We care about the security of your information and use commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through the Service. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems with 100-percent certainty. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised, and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations. Users may find advertising or other content on our Site that links to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users’ personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and Users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys.
