At The Spotted Door LLC (“The Spotted Door,” “we,” “us,” or “our” as appropriate), we care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. We have created the following Privacy & Security Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to inform you of the following: what information we collect, how and when we collect it, why we collect it, how we use it, how we protect it, how we share it and what choices you have regarding our collection and use of this information.

By visiting or using the www.thespotteddoor.com website and domain name, any other linked pages, features, content, mobile applications, and any other services we offer from time to time in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Site”), you agree to the practices and policies set forth in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby acknowledge and consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy, please do not enter the Site. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy.

I. What Does This Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using the Site. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage, even if you have accessed the websites or services of those companies through our Site. We comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register with us. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register with the Site or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under age 13, please contact us at info@thespotteddoor.com.

II. Information We Collect

We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained more fully below. We may use this Personal Information to, among other things, personalize and improve our services, allow our users to setup a user account and profile, contact users, fulfill your requests for certain products and services, analyze how users utilize the Site, or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. The type of information we collect includes (i) your name; (ii) your billing and shipping address; (iii) your email address; (iv) your phone or mobile number; (v) your credit/debit card number; (vi) your purchase or return information; and (vii) information on how you are using the Site. When you visit the Site or participate in interactive features of the Site or mobile applications, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, “cookie” information (this Privacy Policy does not cover cookies delivered to you by any of our advertisers), operating system, date/time stamp and the page(s) you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your computer or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages in our Site are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your computer’s or device’s acceptance of cookies, but doing so may prevent you from taking advantage of our Site’s best features. We also collect information when (i) you create an account with us; (ii) you purchase, order, return, exchange or request information about our company, our products or services; (iii) you connect with us via social media platforms; (iv) you sign up for our emails, mobile messages, or social media notifications; (v) you contact our customer service team; (vi) you provide us with suggestions, comments, and other feedback; and (vii) you respond to our surveys or enter our contests. Any information you submit to a public forum such as a social network or blog can be read, collected and used by us or other participants: you are solely responsible for the information you voluntarily submit to these public forums.

III. Why We Collect This Information

The Personal Information we collect is used (i) to better customize your experience on the Site; (ii) to send information to customers regarding their orders, to fulfill orders, to process and collect payments, and to contact customers about their orders when necessary; (iii) to offer coupons, deliver promotional materials, send and receive emails and messages; (iv) to perform analysis and research Site development; (v) to monitor and prevent fraudulent activity and otherwise protect our customers and our business; and (vi) to assist law enforcement or respond to subpoenas. When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Site and to which pages within the Site), we only use such data in aggregate form to assure your anonymity while allowing for us and our partners to provide you with an optimal online experience. For example, we may place a cookie on your device that records what products you have viewed on our Site to then use that information in a non-personally-identifiable form to show you ads for similar products available.

IV. Protection of Collected Personal Information

Your account is password protected for your privacy & security. If you access your account via Facebook Connect, you may have additional or different sing-on protections through Facebook. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and other protections appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Please review and maintain your account and be sure to instantly report any unexpected activity. We suggest resetting your passwords frequently, signing out of your account when you are not using it, and ensuring your anti-virus and security software is up to date.

We maintain safeguards to protect and secure your Personal Information, including a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption that allows only The Spotted Door to access your Personal Information, as well as verified merchant fraud protection, payment tokenization, and a safe and secure PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. The Site may also contain at times links to other sites: we are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When following a link to another site, you should read the site’s privacy policy.

V. Sharing Personal Information

We neither sell nor rent your Personal Information to third parties. We will only share information with third parties under the limited circumstances outlined below:

VI. Access to Personal Information

Through your account you may access, and in some cases, edit or delete the information you have provided to us, including your name, password, email address, shipping and billing information, and other user profile information.

VII. What Choices Do You Have

You can always elect not to disclose information to us. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails via the unsubscribe link included in each email. You may opt-out of mobile messaging or coupon distribution. You may adjust your browser to notify you of cookies or to not receive cookies at any time (though this may make your experience with the Site less personalized). You may also contact us directly via email to not receive promotional communications from us: please contact info@thespotteddoor.com.

VIII. Privacy Policy Scope & Changes

This Privacy Policy only covers the Site and not the links from or to other sites. This policy applies to all current and former customers and their Private Information collected by or provide to The Spotted Door. We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you either via directly emailing you or by posting an announcement on our Site. You are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when you use the Site after such changes have been posted.
