Shopify Inc. ("Shopify") operates this Web site, pursuant to agreements with DoggieCoutureNY. Both Shopify and DoggieCoutureNY ("we" or "us") recognize that you care how information about you is used and shared. We have created this Privacy Policy to inform you of our information collection, use and sharing practices for this Web site.

• Account Creation. When you create a user account, we may collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, and password.
• Shopping with Us. We may collect Personal Information from you to improve your in-store shopping experience, including collecting your phone number or email address to communicate updates.
• Your Communications with Us. We collect personal information from you such as email address, phone number, or mailing address when you request information about our Services, register for our emails, request customer or technical support, apply for a job or otherwise communicate with us.
• Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include personal information.
• Social Media Content and Reviews. We may offer forums, blogs, or social media pages, including for you to review your DoggieCoutureNY purchases. Any content you provide on these channels will be considered “public” and is not subject to privacy protections.
• Registration for Sweepstakes or Contests. We may run sweepstakes and contests. Contact information you provide may be used to reach you about the sweepstakes or contest and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes, if permitted by law. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of winners.

With whom do we share your information?

• We do not share with others, or sell or rent to others, any personal information that you provide to us through this website or through our Customer Service Department, except with your consent or as described in this Privacy Policy.
• We engage third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of our business. Examples of these services include payment processing and authorization, fraud protection and credit risk reduction, product customization, order fulfillment and shipping, marketing and promotional material distribution, website evaluation, data analysis and, where applicable, data cleansing. We provide personal information to these third parties, but we authorize them to use this information only in connection with the services they perform. 
• We may release personal information if we believe in good faith that the law or legal process requires it; we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Shopify and/or DoggieCoutureNY, or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers or others.
• We may share non-personal information with our marketing partners, advertisers and others from time to time. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this website during a specific time period or purchased a specific product through this website. This information generally is shared in an aggregated form.
• As with any business, it is possible that as our business develops, we might sell or buy online stores or other assets. In such transactions, information about customers often is among the transferred assets. Accordingly, in the unlikely event that Shopify or DoggieCoutureNY, or substantially all of our respective assets, are acquired by a third party, such information may be one of the transferred assets (unless the information was collected under a previous Privacy Policy that did not permit such disclosure). Under such circumstances, Shopify or DoggieCoutureNY, as the case may be, would to the extent possible require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
