Privacy Policy

Version: 01/01/2010

At Passionate Minds, LLC, we strive to develop innovative services to better serve our users. We recognize that privacy is an important issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection of your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we gather when you use KennelFinder's services, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.

The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address. You can find more details about the data we collect on particular services below.

Data collection

KennelFinder does not require any personally identifying information for searching or writing reviews.

Some of our services require you to register for an account. Passionate Minds, LLC asks you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address and a password for your account) and we will use that information to provide the service.

KennelFinder collects limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our services.

When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.

KennelFinder is a service of Passionate Minds, LLC. At no point will any personally identifying information be used outside of KennelFinder.com without your consent.

Cookies

Upon your first visit to KennelFinder, a cookie is sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service and to better understand how people interact with us. Kennel Finder does this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Kennel Finder features or services may not function properly without cookies.

Information sharing

We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals.

We may store and process personal information collected on our site in the United States or any other country in which Passionate Minds, LLC or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your country.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of KennelFinder.com, such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include the number of users who searched for "Kennels in Denver, Colorado" or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.

We restrict access to your personally identifying information to employees who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.

Updating your information

We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifying information for many of our services. For more information, please see the help pages for each service.

Changes to this Policy

Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We expect such changes to be minor, but there may be changes that are more significant. We will post those changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will also provide a more prominent notice. Each version will be noted at the top of the page.
