1. What personally identifiable information is collected from me?
Wholesome Hound does not collect information at this Site that would personally identify you unless you choose to provide it to us, such as when you send us an e-mail. However, Wholesome Hound may collect personally identifiable information from you while we engage in business with you.

Wholesome Hound does not consider all information that we may gather or create in operating our business to be personally identifiable information. If information is not identity information or directly associated with identity information, Wholesome Hound does not consider it to be personally identifiable information. For example, a database of our customers’ purchases in aggregate which does not identify the individual customers would not be personally identifiable information.
Without your consent or as specified below, Wholesome Hound will use your personally identifiable information which we learn through our interactions with you only for the purposes you would reasonably anticipate us doing. This includes, but is not limited to, use to contact you to answer your questions, to obtain billing or payment information, to follow-up on prior purchases or respond to your comments to ensure your satisfaction, and to contact you with additional information where you have permitted us to do so.
2. What are cookies and how are they used by Wholesome Hound?
Wholesome Hound collects information about visitors to the Site using “cookies.” Cookies are anonymous, unique identifiers that are on some of our web pages on the Site that may send data to our web server or store data on your computer. When you visit the Site you necessarily disclose your computer’s Internet protocol (IP) address. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to your computer. Wholesome Hound may use cookie data to “recognize” you when you visit the Site in the future, to track your path through our Site during a visit, and to help us understand how people use our Site.
3. How is my information used and with whom is it shared?
Wholesome Hound is committed to keeping personal identifying information confidential. We will not share an individual’s personal identifying information with any third party outside of the organization other than to one or more of our own service providers that we may use to fulfill services for you or provide services on our behalf. We will not sell or rent this personally identifiable information to anyone.
If you provide any personally identifiable information to us as part of a submission to be published on the Site, we may disclose such information on the Site. Any personally identifiable information that you may disclose on a blog or online social media sites is disclosed by you and is not covered under this Privacy Policy. If you provide any personally identifiable information to us as part of a sweepstakes or contest entry, we may disclose such information to any third party sponsors or co-sponsors of the sweepstakes or contest. We may also disclose personally identifiable information to others if we are required to do so by law, to protect and defend the rights of Wholesome Hound, or in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event.
4. What else should I know about my privacy?
The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us. Although Wholesome Hound cannot guarantee against loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or destruction of data, we use commercially reasonable security measures to protect you from such occurrences. Nonetheless, the e-mail functionality on the Site does not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It is possible that the information you send by e-mail may be accessed or viewed by an unauthorized third party while in transit to us. Such access is beyond Wholesome Hound's control. If necessary in accordance with the law, Wholesome Hound will disclose to you any known or reasonably suspected breach in security involving your personally identifiable information.
