Effective: January 1, 2009

Cat Quarters, Inc. respects and protects your privacy. The purpose of this policy and security statement is to fully share with you how we handle information about you and standards we use to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access.

1. What information do we collect, and how is it used?

A. Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

When you visit the site, we collect some basic information that does not identify individual users. This includes which pages are visited, types of products purchased, and any feedback from our visitors. We then aggregate this information with other pieces of information to improve our site and make your experience on the site as valuable and efficient as possible. Our site uses cookies to speed navigation, keep track of items, and provide you with custom-tailored content. We also use cookies to remember some of the information you've given us so you don't have to reenter it each time you visit the site. By showing us how and when shoppers use the site, cookies also help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on data such as total number of visitors and pages viewed. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If your browser is set to refuse cookies, you will not be able to use the online order form.

  • First and last name
  • Billing address
  • Shipping address(es)
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Credit card account number, expiration date, and CVV2 number
  • Names of items you purchase from us

We use this information as follows:

  • We fulfill your order based on this information.
  • We share your information with certain business partners and financial institutions in order to fill your order.
  • We provide you with information about your order (such as, whether your order has been received, processed, or shipped).
  • If you do not opt out, we may periodically contact you via email with news and special offers.
  • We ask for your phone number in the event that our customer service representatives need to contact you and cannot reach you by e-mail.

We may also disclose personally identifiable information collected on the site as follows:

  • When we believe such disclosure is required by law or for the protection of persons or property.
  • With your consent.

C. Personal Information Given When Joining the Mailing List.

We may use the information you provide us to send you e-mail or other communications. These communications may include email newsletters as well as information regarding products or services. All such communications will include instructions explaining how you can "opt out" of future communications of the same type.

2. Security of Private Information

We use industry standard security safeguards to protect personally identifiable information we collect on the site from unauthorized access, use, modification or disclosure. Our online store uses encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All your ordering information -- including your name, address, and credit card number -- is encrypted using a secure server for security. However, due to the design of the Internet and other factors outside our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.

3. Your Rights

You have a right to know about the personal information that we hold about you. You also have a right to correct, amend or delete the information that we hold about you if it is incorrect.

When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of our site and connected to the site of the organization or company that you selected. Even if an affiliation exists between our site and a third-party site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and/or data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a site that is linked to our site, you should consult that site's privacy policy before providing any personal information.
