How We Share Your Information: Third Parties

Family Gift Boutique does not share the personal information of any of our guests for monetary consideration, but we do share your information with third parties to perform services on our behalf.

Service Providers Providing Services on Family Gift Boutique’s Behalf

Family Gift Boutique shares information with third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, website usage analytics, email or other communications, marketing assistance or data analytics, promotions and sweepstakes, or other services. We provide access to your personal information to such service providers in order for them to perform these services. These service providers do not use your personal information for any purposes other than the services for which we have contracted with them.

Administrative and Legal Reasons

Family Gift Boutique continually strives to maintain compliance with legal regulations. If we become aware of or have a good faith belief that we must disclose information about you in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity, we will disclose specific information about you to the appropriate legal authorities in order to protect the users of poodascloset.com, Family Gift Boutique’s app or the public.

Social Media Platforms

Family Gift Boutique may offer you the ability to interact with social plug-ins from social media sites, which may allow us and/or the social media site to receive data from or about you based on your privacy settings on those third party services. In some cases, we may know that you clicked on a social plug-in, such as a Facebook or Twitter follow button, or receive other information from the social media sites. Similarly, if you have previously provided personal information to a third party operating a plug-in on Family Gift Boutique’s website or app, then such third party may recognize you on our website or app. Your use of social network plug-ins is subject to each social media platform’s privacy policy, which may be different from ours. Family Gift Boutique has no control over the information that is collected, stored, or used by social network plug-ins and therefore is not responsible for the practices of such platforms.

Security & Fraud

Family Gift Boutique has implemented several security measures on poodascloset.com, but you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible. Family Gift Boutique has made every effort to ensure that the information transmitted to us online is secure through the use of standardized encryption protocols, such as transport layer security (TLS).

In addition, Family Gift Boutique does not require you to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity with us. Family Gift Boutique will never ask you to provide personal information through email, including credit card numbers, passwords, mother’s maiden name, bank account numbers, ATM pass codes or social security numbers.
